0.6 Development Update 17

Added 2022-07-02 21:09:51 +0000 UTC

Hey, folks!

My trip turned out a bit more hectic than I hoped, but I should still be able to finish everything and go back to my new home in about a week.

v0.6.3 goes to EA tomorrow, and the public dev update is moving to next week. Probably. There’s a jumble of thoughts and feelings I’d like to share, but first I have to line them up into something resembling a coherent post.

So let’s talk about the next update and some background work for now. First of all, Lyriel’s new scene handily won the last Side Sex Scene poll. I don’t have the full table handy right now, but this wasn’t even close tbh. So you can look forward to that.

The story won’t be advancing in 0.6.4. I want to experiment with some editing techniques for the next event and it’s just a bit too much for this temporary PC. But we’ll have a few fun events in addition to the small mood scenes I teased in the previous dev update. Some of these larger events will be tied to the smaller ones and I hope it all will add a lot of good vibes to the game.

We’ve had a solid breakthrough with the background characters! Still getting there, but now I’m sure we will be able to make characters who look good even when positioned pretty close to the camera.

There’s a fair bit of work ahead of us, we need to make all the different characters, make sure the rigs work for every clothing option, add blend shapes, adjust the materials and play with shaders. And then we’ll have ourselves a proper pirate ship!

Please enjoy this week’s Wed Nips starring Naomi in her Goth Witch persona.
