Dynamic tights day
Added 2019-07-18 21:59:06 +0000 UTCWho likes legwear? During the wardrobe malfunction, we worked out a new way to draw tights. We used meshes and highlights to create a livelier, more 3D look.
We used the new look in a few Lifepath outfits. In those scenes, we knew what shoes the agent would wear, but in the main game your agent can wear them barefoot, with low heels, with high heels, or with stripper heels. So I spent today making them dynamic.
Each pair of tights is a complex piece of artwork, using layered "mesh objects" in Illustrator to achieve the sheer, glossy effect. Today I had to create eight of them for each body shape (four heel heights, front and rear view). Fucking hell, it was boring.
But it's done. The colour, shine and thickness can each be changed in all 24 templates with one single click, and the files can easily be modified to create stockings, too, so we've built a platform that can produce an almost infinite amount of legwear for your agent.
This was honestly one of the most tedious things I've ever done (and it feels like there have been a lot of those, lately). There is no way I would have been able to grind out so many hours on this if I didn't feel accountable to all the great patrons who believe in the game enough to fund its development. Patrons, you are awesome and I could not be more grateful to you.
Thanks for being so patient with this release. It won't be much longer now. Next dev day is tomorrow, see you then!

One cool thing about the dynamic cloathes code is that we can tag the clothes in any way we want, and have those tags cause any effect we want. So yeah, if the agent were to walk around dressed like this: https://c.xme.net/13c373890.jpg ...then we could do things like (a) make it an outfit only selectable by Exhibitionists, (b) have Exhibitionists get turned on when wearing it out, and (c) have NPCs reäct to it...anything really. :-)

2019-07-20 17:15:15 +0000 UTCThe dynamic cloathes code *can support* rippable tights! We haven't made the artwork for them yet, but when we do it will be quite simple to allow things such as the agent (or her partner) deciding to rip open the crotch of her tights during a sex scene instead of just taking them off. (This is a feature we can add after 1.5 is released, it's not worth delaying the release to include IMO.) There is one pair of ripped fishnet tights in the Lifepath (in a scene that's scripted, not dynamic, though) – Rock Chicks who are in a band at university get the scene.

2019-07-20 17:07:44 +0000 UTCWill tights count towards exhibitionism if worn without underwear? I feel most games treat them like yoga pants and make stockings the only option
