Amy/Kelly Messy Sprites

"Hey sis! Flin showed up a bit ago, we were just waiting on the couch for you!"

"Hey babe, Flin saw me walking to band practice and gave me a ride!"

-

Always kinda funny making stuff like this. I get tempted to reveal a little more, a little more, like "let's maybe have Amy's strap falling off her shoulder," then I take a step back and look at it and go "nope, that's way too much" 😂. 

But for me, the best part isn't the revealed bra strap, it's the messy hair. ...

Commission #34: Doing Samantha from behind while she's in her wedding dress [Animation]

I'll confess, I ran into way more trouble than I expected when I tried hiking up her wedding dress. The dress topology is kinda fucked, though I think there was more to it than that.

In any case, I know I didn't say that this one was gonna be animated, but I decided to give it a shot. There was a technique I wanted to try, which you can barely see: The jiggling on the ass. I've done similar jiggles in the past, but THIS one is from a cloth simulation, rather than being manually shaped. ...

Casual Dates Complete

That's right bitch, sometimes Julie and I just like to fuckin' READ.

(the book is a steamy romance novel lol)

As I've said, the dates are very short little events. The casual dates are especially quick, but I already like how they make the game feel. I might update Flin and Amy's to include them sharing a milkshake or something (also, first time using Amy's alternate outfit finally, wooo).

Passionate Dates Complete

Happy Thanksgiving! On this day, I am thankful to Stella, for all the bullshit she goes through so that the cheating fetish can be sated.
I am also thankful to all of you, for being so patient and amazing! Seriously and truly, thank you.

All the dates are very short little events, but they really help cultivate that feel of "general ongoing affair" in a way that's been absent in the game so far.

Next up are the casual and romantic dates (finesse and sympathy dates). T...

Commission #33, Flin rubs lotion on Kelly

's Ass.

Decided to make a second shot for this one because the first wasn't quite capturing that "squeeze" sensation.

I'll admit there isn't really anything visual to suggest that he's actually rubbing lotion on her and not just massaging her ass, but...you know. It'll work when there's text saying what's happening.

I'm undecided on whether or not I want to attempt creating a full beach environment to give a beach background to every shot. Creating a dense forest was one thi...

Happy Halloween!

Art classes teach a concept called "visual narrative," where you attempt to convey an implied past or future series of events, often by relying on subtle details in an image 😂

So yeah, I thought it'd be funny to build off last year's Halloween post and imagine Julie's devil as a full body paint costume. She really rubs off on Flin sometimes.

The other image is just a quick recycling.

Anyway, happy Halloween!

Status Report (Endgame Mechanics)

Welcome to what will be the game's final gameplay loop!
I got a TON done this month. Admittedly very little to do with beach stuff (for the commission I had to model Stella's bikini and figure out more ocean stuff, so that's something), but most of what I got done revolves around setting up the skeleton for the endgame gameplay loop.

I stayed largely true to my brainstorming post.
Here are the main things:

Commission #32: Kelly Handjob in the Ocean [Animation]

Alright, I didn't intend for the actual handjob to be so difficult to see, but hopefully my decision to animate this one makes up for that.

And not just any typical animation, but one with a bit more going on than I usually do. Let's break it down.

Ocean

First, the Ocean Modifier. A super nifty tool in Blender that transforms a mesh into an ocean. You can tweak all manner of settings to determine the shape and motion of the waves.

Right out the box, this modifier loo...

Julie with messy hair, Sprite

"Yeah, Flin was just helping me move some furniture in the bedroom. What's up?"

I'm pleased with how this turned out.

I might wanna make a messy hair sprite for Flin, too. Even though I've never shown a sprite for Flin, I think seeing both of them side-by-side with the messy hair would look...pretty great.

In other news, I discovered a tiny bug in the game that's been there since launch. Did you know there's a 0.5% chance to be offered sex with someone who...

Devlog: Thoughts on the "Conversation Mini-game" for Part 2

Alright, time to do some actual game mechanic programming! Been a fuckin' while!

So for the final portion of LLRR, I want to return to the way the first half of the game is played. Chapters are a random order of choices and events that happen to you.

However, two things need to change. First, I don't care about raising the academics or band stats anymore. Academics makes no sense because it's summer vacation, and the band is kinda taking a break (mostly). Also from a mechanics per...

PSA - Version 1.6.1 - Hotfix, released

Hey guys, sorry for the high density of posts, but the camping update had a bug in version 1.6.0.

Basically, if your suspicion was negative but your finesse was less than 100, the game could crash. It was also impossible to be caught if your suspicion was negative, which was not what I intended for the camping update specifically, so I fixed that as well.

I could go into depth on why this bug occurred, but suffice to say I'm a big fucking idiot.

Anyway, should be fixed now, ...

The Past, Present, and Future of LLRR

Light My Fire

I swear, if I didn't have this cheating fetish in my brain, I would make such wholesome content. I have a lot of fun making cute little scenes like this sometimes. And it'd fit so well with everything else I do, too: Softcore, missionary, emotional relationship development/connection, etc. Was I once destined to be a wholesome content creator who got "corrupted" along the way?

Alas, I instead make scenes like this so that you feel the weight of it later when you're banging your girlfrie...

Camping Status Report

Julie's NSFW content is now complete! I've begun work on the more general renders for the event, such as the above.

So, what remains? Still gotta render Stella's NSFW stuff, but that should be pretty sparse and simple 😅
There's various little shots I still have to render like this one, which are a lot easier to make than NSFW shit. Some of them are a bit complicated, though.

Gotta write the events for Amy and Kelly's "bonus scenes" I made imagery for recently. Those are shor...

Commission #31: Extra Camping scenes for Amy & Kelly

The text for these scenes will have to supplement things a bit, but for now, here you go. Nothing too crazy, but now Amy and Kelly have their own little bonus scenes.

Basic gist of it is that in the Amy scene, the group is hanging out near a lake, and Stella's looking in the water and is like "Woah, a fish!" Flin's gonna walk towards her, ready to get her attention, until a hand comes out of the bushes. This hand is attached to a particular redhead who has other plans for Flin.

Flin x Julie Silhouette Animation

The one I made long ago wasn't going to work for this event.

I really like working with silhouette stuff because the work goes so much faster, and there's something pleasant about how it looks. You gain a few new challenges, but overall it's easier.

There is certainly additional polish I could do to this; I thought it would be cool if Julie moved against Flin more, or if her hair got rigged up to have physics and swish around a little, but I'm calling it good for now. Gotta keep m...

Things that go bump in the night

Things which are attached to people, bumping again and again and again.

This is subtle, but the first version gives white eyes to the silhouettes, while the second version is pure silhouette. What do you think? I kinda like them both. I'm leaning towards the one with eyes at the moment.

Poll for Commission #31, Part 2

Amy and Kelly win. This will be the last poll I do that influences the camping update.

So to recap, these options pertain to what type of (extremely brief) bonus scene occurs with Amy and Kelly. These are not actually part of their sex scenes, they are more like foreplay moments that are snuck in during the day.

I'm just gonna list two types of scenes in each option, and whatever wins, I'll decide which one goes to Amy and which one goes to Kelly. If you have a strong preference i...

Commission request was essentially for Flin and Kelly to share a suspiciously intimate moment as Flin feels her pregnant belly, and Stella wonders...

And Kelly, the compassionate mother that she is, doesn't want her child growing up in the world alone...so I'm sure she'll approach the father about making a sibling soon enough.

Motherfucking Status Report

Tonight, I gathered all my Julie camp renders together and realized she now has a little more imagery than Amy* (and about as much as Kelly).
There are a few things I know I'll want to add, but I can pretty much craft her sex scene with what I got. I'll start doing that and see how things feel.

Then I'm gonna do my best to jam through Stella's sex imagery and the remaining general camping imagery. Thank you all so much for your patience! Once this update is out, I'm going to take sto...

Julie Contrast

I shared a post a while back that "contrasted" Stella's stripping image with Kelly doing the same thing. Well, now we can compare Stella to her mother whilst giving in to base urges.

I like how Julie's underwear looks in this shot, but I will say that overall, I think this underwear mesh could be improved somehow. One of the more challenging questions I'm going to have to answer someday (for my next project) is whether or not I'll keep the clothing simplified, or if I'll go for more det...

Commission #28: Julie wears Flin's shirt, then peels it off

I'll admit, I envisioned something a little different in my head for the first image or two. Maybe more of a first-person perspective of her sitting on the bed or something. The poses and camera angle are always tricky to nail down, and often I find myself just trying things until something feels promising. Overall, I'm pleased with how this turned out, but I think maybe some additional context could make it hotter, like Flin talking on the phone while Julie fucks with him while wearing his s...

Kelly's camping sex imagery is now fully complete! Next is to write the text for her sex scene, which shouldn't take nearly as long.

I suppose this render now holds the record for "most people in one shot," with all 7 members of the entire modeled cast (minus Samantha) present. Of course, this won't be the only render of this nature for long.

This shot also serves to show you the entire campsite I've modeled, and what the sleeping arrangements all are.

Creating a Forest Background for LLRR

I generally avoid creating backgrounds in LLRR. I don't like setting a precedent that makes me feel obligated to model every last little location that occurs to my imagination.

However.

As I move forward with the remainder of LLRR, I'm looking to the future and starting to put some thought into my revamped, new-and-super-improved workflow. And I felt like coming up with a process for creating something like a forest would have a lot of future usability. So I decided I would make a...

Commission #27: Julie giving Flin a blowjob in the forest, and also side view cowgirl sex

I mainly did both because I wasn't confident the blowjob one would really turn out satisfying on its own, and I wanted to do the side cowgirl anyway. It's not because they tied in the poll, I swear.

I don't generally like to rely on text to sell the action of an image (not because there's anything wrong with that, but simply because it's work that needs to be done in Gimp and it makes the overall workflow more annoying if I wanna make changes), but I felt like these images needed a litt...

In addition, in my spare time I've been learning some very fancy new tricks in Blender. I've finally started diving into how to use geometry nodes, which opens up a whole world of m...

Amy Camp Teaser (Animation)

Some sideways missionary. I'll be using a nighttime version for the actual game, though I've been debating whether or not I could use the daytime versions of these camping images when I eventually make the beach sequence. That'd mean bringing a tent out to the beach, which people do sometimes for shade.

The other animation I worked on for Amy is also a kissing missionary (which makes three kissing missionary animations with Amy - what can I say, I try new camera angles and jiggles and d...
