Aand suddenly Unity appears)

Hello guys!

I've tried rendering again and I do not want to return to it, as it generates files which are too big and it consumes a lot of electricity and time.

And I've tried Unity again and it turns out that it is much much easier than UE even though it has a C# insted of blueprints as I used in UE. But it means I can program anything and as I want it. I can change editor itself, add new features and of course make gameplay. I can transfer files from standard 2D to standard 3D ...

Unity test

Testing again

Small RenPy games again?

Hello guys!

Would you be fine with small games from time to time like the old times?

I'm not yet ready

Hello, guys!

Payments are still on hold, you will not be billed for the next month.

What is happening:

1. All startups want to work hard with me, so I do not have time for writing games, at least UE game, it takes a full time for development

2. Maybe I will be again making simple and short RenPy games from time to time

3. While I'm working with AI and ChatBots, I've made additional bot for analyzing bellies on the uploaded pictures in ChatGPT. Here is the link: <...

I've paused the billing

Hello guys! As I'm not able to work on the game for now, I've paused the billing for a month, so will not be charged for this period.

I will keep you posted.

Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it and it keeps me motivated.
Unfortunately it is only 24 hours in a day and I work for about 16 daily (not counting sleep and meals)).

Dialogue system debugged

Hello guys!

I've got a response from the devs of the Dialogue component I've bought. They helped with all my current issues and they have Wiki on GitHub, so I will be making my own dialogues whenever I will have time.

My obligations and projects

Hello guys!

I think I wrote you that at spring I lost my main job as a worker. But I still have my business, that does not interfere with game projects. And my company is an analytical company in medical field. You may have noticed how I'm trying to emulate physiological processes in my games, that is because I know physiology and anatomy. So we have several stable clients and managers do their job with them.

But this summer I was invited for counseling at first to one medical sta...

Poll while I'm dealing with dialogues

Hello guys!

I'm trying to fix the component that I bought, but if I fail, I will make my own (what will take less time I will choose).

What kind of NPC do you want to see in a game?

You can choose several.

Working on a dialogue system

Hello guys!

I was makin gmy own dialogue system, but I counted how many hours I will be doing it and decided that it would be better just to buy someone's component fot this. So now I will be customizing it and debugging it. You see how buggy everything is now and something like ths happens every time I change something)

1.1b

Hello guys!

I tried to improve performance and in my tests I got 20-30 fps on my 3060. So please try it out and give me feedback if it is any better than 1.1a

Poll about NPCs

Hello guys!

As soon as I think that character capabilities are fine for now, I'm now developing AI model to add other girls in the game.

But as soon as this game is far from optimized and I do not really think I can optimize it better (due to UE self problems that does not depend from me), I can start a game with less textures and hopefully more optimized). Of course I will improve animations for the current game to make it final in case you will choose new game.

As it is Un...

AI movement test

Hello guys!

I'm learning how to program NPCs, so this is the first step with movement. I was ill for the last 3 days, so I could not spend all the time for learning, but I was at least laying to the right direction :)

So I will add NPCs for the next update)

And as you see I'm now monitoring FPS with Afterburner, so I can understand how it can be so low on both RTX 3060 laptop and RTX 3090 in my main PC. I tried to switch off all new features of the UE and change textures, re...

Good news everyone!

Hello guys!

Version 1.1 is now live!

Desert Shelter 1.1 will be released in 24 hours

Hello guys!
I have logged all the bugs and things you want to improve and as for the bugs, I fixed them all (old ones at least).

What features I've added:

1. New movement animations

2. New landscape and textures (with nanite and tessellation)

3. Now you can find clothes, wear it and change to another

4. You can driink water from the sink

5. You can take shower

6. You can have an enema in the shower

7. You can use toilet

8. And now food ...

Making the shower enema

Hello guys!

I'm making a shower belly inflation. And for this I want to separate the intestines volume from the stomach volume, as I made in a pair of RenPy games. This system will include inflation of course and the food will be added above in visualization, so it would be separate morphs and they will be added to each other, so her belly can become bigger. But I will add digesting logic, when the food from stomach (fullness) will be converted to intestines volume, so to the end of th...

What platform you use or want to use for the UE games

Hello guys! So choose all platforms that you are comfortable with

About Android version

Hello guys!

I've been working on optimizing and packing the game for android the whole weekend. You know, you need from time to time to delete what you do not need any more etc. and reduce the project size. And for Android it is just essential. And I succeeded of course, I have the game on my phone, all the controls are working, but it has so low FPS rate and so low quality textures that I think it is not playable at all.

So maybe this kind of map in UE is not for Android(

...

Thoughts about an update?

Hello guys!

I have wo options as usual, I can release the updated game now (fixed reported bugs, added landscape and made the progress faster) or add some more features that have not been yet in the game?

Updated landscape and I may release the update already

What's next?

Hello guys!

I've setup the game as I see it for the next release. Character will be starting far from home and will need to find it. Also for now character starts naked and you will need to find the clothes pieces around the map.

What I'm doing right now is debugging Save game function for the clothes that is on the character, it works not as expected. But after I fix it, I will fix it I'm going to release Windows update and then start working on the Android controls and Android ...

Clothes changing

Hello guys!

I managed to do the system with the clothes parts separately, so you could combine. This is a start pack, I feel like I will add more later.

What's happening?

Hello guys!

I'm working on the clothes change system right now. It wil include heels (one option for now) and flat boots (different), different camera views to get adjusted to new height and position.

And I have two options to make clothes change. First is to pick up clothes and just try it from the menu separtely combine different pieces. And second is to make clothes sets, this option I will use if first will be too complicated.

Gameplay speed poll

Hello guys!

And I think it is totally an important question to which I do not have an internal answer :)

GPU question

Hello guys!

First of all in the next update I will add clothes change on e or another way)

Facial expressions too and hopefully NPC (I mean that will do something autonomously, at least walk randomly and get her belly bloated).

What I really need to know now if you want the game to be really friendlier too the GPU. Of course I will do my best to keep current or better look, but maybe you do not need this at all?

So please choose your option below.

Working on the update

Hello guys!

Last 2 weeks I was learning how to develop more realistic animation system. And in this video you can see what is done.

For this I changed the skeleton for the character, reimport the character and other characters for NPCs.

Also I have updated the landscape, learned how to randomly populate the world.

And a huge breakthough for me is that I managed to pack the game as Android apk) The project on my computer is 90 GB, but the Android game was only 2 and wi...

What's happening

Hello guys!

I'm learning more advanced animation system, than I used. But the system is not a final solution for me. My UE game is not about shooting people, so I need to to rethink everything as I did in the previous iteration. No one is making systems or tutorials for belly fetish type games :) So for now I'm learning 27,5 hours of how to make anim system. In parallel I started in use built in new system for animations retargeting and it does not work for Daz3D skeletons as it should...

What do you want me to add to the game?

Hello guys!

I want to understand what do you see as a priority for development. So I will make a list of what I'm going to do. You can choose all or one or several. I will see if you want this feature or totally no (no votes). And I will be planning my development accordingly.

Transfer to 5.4 is complete

Hello guys!

I have updated the project to 5.4 and along with that I have updated character materials. Skin and clothes and everything and now I think she looks more sharp and realistic. Check it out, please. I want to be sure it runs well. Because this game index of 54r7 means I had 6 fails to make it work and look better than in 5.2.
