Daily Update for 4/4

I finished getting all the Renders for Scenes 7 and 8 both sides. Would have went further into doing scene 9 except I noticed something that I did not notice before.

I updated my koikatsu from version 18 to version 20. When I did it I just deleted my entire koikatsu folder, and downloaded the new one. When I deleted the folder I was planning ahead enough to save the userdata folder as that is where the characters I created are saved and I did not want to make them all over again.

But apparently it did not save my asset scenes. See most devs that use koikatsu to make their games use the default maps that come with the game, or the community made ones that come from the BR version. Don't get me wrong I do the same thing. Though I also customize and edit the scenes and often make my own maps from a different maps base, making rooms from scratch. You will see some of the rooms I made from scratch when I release the MH alpha version as that also has a few. But you have seen them before and didnt know it.

The Circle's Apartment was a map I built using stuff in the search menu. I took a preset apartment area, applied lighting effects, added new rooms to it, and populated the new rooms with items and stuff. POINT IS... it didn't save that. So I had to rebuilt the Circles apartment from scratch today. I treated it like the million dollar man.. We can rebuild it... stonger faster blah blah blah you know what I am saying.

TBH I actually really like how it turned out. I added some TVs to each room, set up cameras and screens to connect the TVs added different rooms way outside of the map and set up sex scenes there and streamed them to the TVs, then also layered the screens exactly on top of each other. So that I can have a character grab a remote and change the channel and stuff.

I completely rebuilt the kitchen area and stocked that. I added the bathroom again and set up a mirror and reflections in the bathroom. I fixed the issue that we saw in earlier chapters, from the top of my head it was definitely visible in chapter 4. Whenever I showed the dining room table how it didnt look like it was there at all. By adding a large glass plate and fitting to the area.

I removed one of the old bedrooms that I had before and put in a different one. Also now the apartment has 3 bedrooms instead of just 2. Though I did not remake the hallway area or the lobby area that was seen in chapter 4. Mainly because I know it wont be needed in chapter 8 at all.

But the main reason why I spent some extra time on the apartment today was because the apartment will be used pretty heavily in chapters 9 and 10 for at least one of the routes. I want to add some more detail effect to the bedrooms though. But thats a job for tomorrow.

All thats left for chapter 8 on my notes page and the script I have written down, is scene 9 I have been debating adding a scene 10 but we will see where we get with time. Scene 9 is going to be a large group orgy though, with everyone in the circle involved in one way or another. I am not sure if I want to do individual positions for each character or if I want to just have like a arrow on screen so the player can like look around the room. Looking around the room would make it so there are less animation variations that I need to do, which means I will probably end up doing more positions total. Right now all I have for the notes for scene 9 is literally this

<Scene #9B Orgy>

Sex scene - All Circle Members Orgy

End.

LOL So we flying by the seats of our pants with this one. Since this orgy is Izumi's introduction and the circle test I gotta keep up traditions and she has to take a load from every circle member. But we can't have the other girls just sitting around and watching. So... thats why I am debating on the arrows thing instead of the normal "Position 1, Angle 1, Angle 2, POV Angle. Thing I normally do. Typically 1 position is 3 angles and 4 speeds so 12 animations per. But if I do the arrows thing I will be dropping the "Angles" it will just be moving around the room so I can get by with only 8 animation variations per position, just the view and the POV.

Also I did some studying today on shading with characters, and being able to use dynamic lighting in the scenes. Which made me realize that looks AMAZING, so chapter 9 I will be redoing every character in Her Fall's shaders to make the lighting look WAY better. Also probably going to be playing around with the aperture settings. Which you will see that in this orgy scene when this comes out.

But yea thats all for tonight. I will be showing the images of the new apartment as a bit of a sneak peek.
