Another minor bug fixes patch. If you don't have problems with v1.0, you can probably skip this one.
Changes:
No, not those kind of escort. That will come later.
Finished incorporating the path finding AI with the combat AI. So now it's possible to have "escorts" that will follow you and attack nearby enemies. Implemented a couple more AI commands as well, such as attack ground, move to position, and follow.
After some testing I found that in most cases, only 2 commands are needed: attack ground (this works as hold position as well by targeting at your feet) and escort/follow me. So for no...

Made a lot of progress on path finding. It works pretty well on open field, but does get congested a bit with big groups in narrow chokes. Here is a gif demo:
One of the things that I will be implementing is the ability to give commands to allies in your party. If you got any suggestions on how the controls should work for it, I am happy to listen.

A few people have observed that the enemies sometimes "attack you through door" or even "ambushes" you by doing things like "hiding near the walls."
The reason for those behavior is that the AI only knew how to move in a straight line towards the player. This works pretty well for large open terrains, but in something more confined, such as a maze, the AI will frequently get stuck.
Hence, the need for path finding. So the next time the boss kills you, rather than getting stuck some...

Fixed various "small" issues with combat and added a couple of new things, including:
Mostly just bug fixes from v0.6. I waited a couple days to see if any more severe bugs pops up but fortunately it didn't, so here is v1.0 :D

Decided to postpone work on demo 3 a bit to fix some issues with combat in demo 2. (Demo 3 will be focusing on non-combat related stuff)
Here is a new enemy type for the game - Zs. They are meant to be fast, fragile, and fearless swarmers. And they'll likely require some different tactics to deal with compare to the Axe Mobs.
A couple new things shown in the gif are rolls, new attack animations for swords and rapiers, increased move speed, and of course, new tech to use different body an...

It's been 3 long and tiresome days. But here are the changes for the (probably) final version of HR. From now on wards I'll be on bug fixes only and focus my attention on New Game. Thanks everyone for the support for HR!
Patch notes:

A playable, randomly generated dungeon is now here!
Bundled with it, are a bunch of new items (both "old" and new), looting (from containers and k.o.ed enemies), a working inventory system, equipping different individual outfit pieces (right click on item in inventory), consumables (lewd_vial acts as health pots), the beginnings of NPC interactions, and more!

A gif showing equipping/removing gear with the inventory ui.
Inventory, and looting from containers and ... sleeping enemies are working now. The equipment screen, together with the color chooser located there, will come at a later time.
Currently working on porting some stuff over from HR and constructing the dungeon from the "blueprint" shown in a previous update. That's pretty much all I want to do for demo II, and it should be here soon TM.
Still WIP. Otherwise should be fairly self-explanatory :D.
2017-10-29 01:57:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe short answer is "no".
The longer answer, as always, is more nuanced.
There seem to be this misconception that Patreon prohibits using it to fund adult game development, and all adult game devs are using it illegally. This is completely false.
While it is true that Patreon doesn't allow pornography, Patreon makes a very clear distinction between works containing adult content (like an adult game), and pornography, which Patreon defines as "real peo...

As many are aware, HR is "done" and I am working on a new game. However, I will continue to support HR in the near future in terms of bug fixes and tweaks.
So here is the deal, if you have any suggestions on small tweaks to be made in HR, leave a comment here. What I will do is after new game demo#2 is finished, I will spare a few days to work on HR and implement some of the popular suggestions, likely during sometime in November.
Things that require addition...

Demo #1 is almost ready. However, because it is a very bare bone demo I feel it would be best to talk about what to expect and give some instructions on how to play.
The controls are as follows:
WASD - move
Mouse - look around
Mouse_Left - Attack
Mouse_Right - Block
Shift - drop block/run
Esc - Close game menu/pause/unlock mouse
In addition, there are 3 "cheats":
T - revives the player and teleport her to t...

Redone the ground textures and added grasses, so now its a steppe of sorts. This is likely all I am going to do for terrain on demo #1. (Demo #1 coming very soon!)
The grasses are important because I need to test the LOS (level of detail) system that only draws high detailed objects, like grasses due to their numbers, when viewed close. And, of course, allowing for performance tweaks in the future for those with potato PCs.
This is how it looks in action:
Spend most of today getting shadows to work and got it working in an acceptable fashion for demo#1.
What is the issue you ask? Well, the first observation is that the view distance in a third person view game is far larger compared to an indoor setting like Heroine Rumble was. The second is the player moves and looks around, and there is potentially a much large area that the shadow need to cover. The underlying issue, in short, is that a statically placed shadow setup no longer works. And it ...
2017-10-03 07:00:19 +0000 UTC View PostOne flaw in the combat system that I want to address is the difficulty in fighting many opponents at once. While arguably that it is realistic and it should be difficult, it doesn't make for a fun game play experience. It is certainly do-able by walking backwards and keep swinging - effectively turning a 1 v many into many 1 v 1s, but I want to make it also possible for the player to hold his/her ground. (I am also not going to penalize the backward strategy at the moment)
So I have implemente...

2017-09-27 03:12:53 +0000 UTC View PostBeen working on solving various animation problems arising from independent torso and leg movement. Should be able to wrap it up this week together with the first iteration of combat. But somewhat tired of working with barely presentable in-dev assets so the next step is to (re)introduce outfits and bring the general graphics quality to be on par with Heroine Rumble.
I am a little disappointed with Heroine Rumble's RNG-based outfit selection system. It is certainly better than nothing but leav...
2017-09-15 03:26:23 +0000 UTC View PostThe combat mechanics are almost finished now. There are still quite a few bugs and animation problems that need to be sorted out, but enough core systems are functional now to create an overview of how it works.
So like I mentioned before, the game will be based on Mount and Blade melee combat system. I like to start off by mimicking the functionality of other successful titles. This is because, well, those games probably did somethings right and and there are merits to their setup, even if it...

It was certainly a challenge to get the upper body and lower body independence to look believable. But it is mostly working now.

This version fixed all the bugs that are reported so far, if I missed anything, please let me know.
A new feature added is the ability to change the game's speed. Some people felt that the game was too sluggish so now its possible to speed up the game. Up to 200% of the base speed. Default is 120%. (so ~20% fast...

Added Inverse Kinematics to engine and implemented enough functionality for independent upper body and lower body movement.
Kind of tired of talking about tech so lets do something different this time.
As mentioned before, the next game will feature weaponry and directional attacks and guards. Eg, 4 attack directions - up/down/left/right and 4 block directions. A block is only successful if the block is in the same direction as the attack.
So here are the 4 blocks for a sword...
