Lifepath university dev day
Added 2019-06-29 18:30:00 +0000 UTCNow all the avatar art has been created, it needs to be implemented into the game before 1.5 can be released. I'll report at the end of each dev day on what was achieved.
Today I finished adding cloathes to the university section of the Lifepath. THANK THE GODS. I need to do a bit of polishing, but will get a dev test version out to Operators+ early next week that will let them play up to the end of university.
Some questions were raised in the comments yesterday about the hip width of the new avatar. I can confirm that I was using an agent with the "lean" body type, who has the narrowest hips. Here's a direct comparison of the three body types available in 1.5:
Avatar musculature is something we've attacked a couple of times during the development of 1.5. My idea is that as the agent's physique should reflect her Strength score.
We've been experimenting with ways to make the arms and legs look stronger, but that's hard to do without adding bulk to the avatar's limbs (which would mean YET MOAR versions of CLOATHES).
However, it's possible to give the agent heroic abs! Here's our draft art:
Okay, that's all for today. I have to do a family thing tomorrow, so the next dev day is Monday. Have a great Sunday, everybody!

I had a very visible six-pack one morning ... after four days of running a jumping and crawling and digging holes and climbing in through windows and throwing things and occasionally getting an hour's sleep under a bush, all fueled by nothing like my full share of the provided food. It disappeared from view when I had breakfast. Heh. "Food." You may never chew a more wretched pack of slime and indigestion.

2019-07-03 14:48:47 +0000 UTCI run a 1:45:xx half marathon (hoping to get that down to a 1:30:xx as I'd like to reach the 3 hour and below mark on a marathon. And the only time I have something that resembles a six pack is in the morning when my stomach is empty and I'm super flexing my stomach. You can kinda see something resembling abs then. At 5'11" and 170ish lbs, I'm also not the skinniest person alive either though.

2019-07-01 14:05:07 +0000 UTCI just want to note that the defining (pun!) factor regarding whether abs are visible is leanness rather than strength. I’ve been very athletic for much of my life, but the only time I had a “six pack” was during an episode a few years back when I lost a lot of weight very rapidly during a health crisis.

2019-07-01 09:24:04 +0000 UTCI think that you can add some subtle shading to her arms, too. Being fitter doesn't necessary mean bigger. Here's an example: https://img-aws.ehowcdn.com/240x360p/photos.demandstudios.com/getty/article/180/136/sb10067679ak-001.jpg Some definition on the bicep together with some added visible veins on the forearm is all you need, I think.

2019-06-30 12:57:19 +0000 UTCDon't stress too much about the release being late. Some things have to be done after all :P. Regarding the abs, I think that the linea semilunaris and the ileac crest should be more outlined. Right now it looks a bit like she has painted abs, instead of having real abs.
