This week we worked on getting a wide range of emotes and expressions for our 3/4 models. Next week they will be sliced, brought in Spine andanimated. Dialogue capabilities are getting extended, and the c*m testing (not tasting) (or maybe that too for some characters) goes on. Along these lines combat also is getting an initial set up in Unity.
Kuja just published an in depth post about how the art of LOK:R is done, 2021-07-12 16:32:35 +0000 UTC

Hello everybody. Here is a relatively small document relating how we are developing the project, for those who are interested. This small compilation will be divided into simple areas and/or categories, which are the specific areas of each of the team members. These areas/categories are: Art/UI, Animation, Coding and Lore/Dialogue. We decided to develop this little compilation to show how the whole game manufacturing process really is in an attempt to reduce any communication gap that may exi...

We had a meeting last week to summarize what is done and what is left to do to complete a patch. You can find the details in the section below, but basically we’ll wrap up what we have and ensure at least those minimal things are in that are preventing us from releasing.
A member of the team got Covid and that unfortunately slowed down the production of animations a little. As that person was assigned the final rework of the infamous sp*nking scene, destroyer of animators, and that’...

Hello, the weekly Monday post has become biweekly this time. We knew when we started that this may sometimes happen, and it happened! But worry not, the progress is listed down here as usual. Inani’s art is ready to be imported in Spine in 3 directions, and Golak has received a redesign concept. Animation-wise clean ups and integration of many of the new scenes in the main files have taken place. Galdryn’s scenes have also been outlined. Vanlen’s tent can also make you bump into things ...

As the animations are being wrapped for two of the main Vanlen scenes, new additions to the skeletons were drawn to enhance them like custom hands and other anatomical parts. Nemiri’s basic body has also new views so that adds another character back to the cast.
Art:
- Created a slightly different p*nis shape for the Lizarman - Side View.
- Created two "covers" for the hand job scene and other future scenes for both p*nis models.
- Created various different han...

This week has been bountiful as two animators sent in their work on two sequences, getting at a good stage of progress. The backgrounds have also been refined to look more cohesive with the characters. Kantir’s appearance has been touched up and improved based on community feedback.
On the community side, Ricco wrote a new LOKR related story, check ...

Another week, more progress. Eri is getting new views, the levels are being refined. Nemiri and Nesi have been added to the rigs with their assets, and two praise scenes stages with Vanlen are now animated. Levels have marked exists and the new ones got walking boundaries. The pace is picking up again.
Completed this week

Consolidation is the name of the game this week as we continue working on the back end of animations. Ron has been nailing bugs left and right at an awesome speed. However Kuja has been making fantastic progress in the realm of art! Several female characters have been finalized in front view, so you’ll soon be able to spot them across the village. We are getting ever so closer to a proper release, and another step closer to recovering v0.8 levels of content (Then we can finally move on! Phe...

As the effort on backgrounds continues, a great part of the village is in game now. You’ll soon be able to finally find and talk to the chieftain as the dialogues that involve him are completed and ready for implementation in Unity. We have new tracks, and many, many, many new assets to enrich the environment and delve deeper in the jungle. Behind the scenes, the code is being polished, the rigs inner workings are also being polished, and we’re working with several new animators to help u...

Several backgrounds are now in Unity with day and night variants, and Kuja has worked on some spectacular* 2D fire to use on the torches. (*this is Pikant, I think the fire is amazing!!).
Meanwhile, the tanning minigame is improving, and more of the dialogues are getting completed. We’ve also had multiple music pieces done for our OST.
As the quest for new animators to help us out progresses, some bugs in Kay’s 3/4 appearance got fixed. The sp*king scene continues its infamy d...

This was a modest week, as it resulted in less output, but more getting in game, as well as preparing the ground to have more animations as we are trying to add more temporary help for the many scenes involving Vanlen. As both aspects were a coordinated effort, the output was more focused: Art and code department had to join forces to make things work in unity, several back and forth from Vlad and the animation department was also required to find the people, get them on board, prepare ...

This week has been dedicated to clear some confusion regarding the races height, and docs updating. New background elements are going to populate the village soon, and several bugfixes have been made code-wise. One of our animator’s pc also died over the weekend, so the animations may suffer a bit until it can be replaced (hopefully by the end of next week).
On a side note Compound created a 3D printable version of Kay's ship. (check the gallery to see it)

Hello all, we are back with the Monday post! We hope this post fids you well and rested.
These two weeks have been dedicated to the creation of backgrounds art-wise (in fact, each background took roughly a week), music and sound effects, many code improvements and bug fixing, and the organization and creation of the NSFW scenes with Vanlen. The sp*nking animation managed to break Pikant so Archie is now reworking it.
Below you can find the usual list, now by broad groups (instead ...

Hi guys, Vlad here
You may be wondering what happened to our monday post, well the truth is, it had to be put down. It was growing too dangerous. It already ate Pikant, and it was looking to eat me.
Actually the real reason is that we decided we'd wait for a couple more things to shove into the post because they were almost done, and then we waited for a couple more things that were almost done, unfortunately then a couple more things were almost done, and by...

This week was less productive than the others, with part of the team down with sickness, and the other taken by IRL problems happening. Still, Vanlen basic art is complete for all directions, and a first draft of the tanning minigame is under works. (you can see the basic code logic below). We’re in a stage where input on how to make it more interesting is appreciated, so feel free to comment below or on our discord if you have suggestions! The inside of Vanlen’s workshop is also be...

This week has been focused on preparing the chieftain so that the story can progress, and dressing up Vanlen, as well as readapting him to the new color system we are using to enable shared body parts across characters, just as planned. The first 3 NSFW scenes that we are working on all share Vanlen sp*nking Kay with some variations. And if you’re curious, below you can see the detailed list of what was done this week.

Today Version 1.0.0 is being released. After all the delays we’re finally at a place where we’re able to release the content we’ve been working on. Although this is a small piece of the story, it’s a bigger idea of what the game overall will have in store. With the exception of a couple major features related to combat and quests, the core systems are all in place and have been iterated upon over and over again to achieve what we have presentable in this build.
We welcome any fe...

If you are not on our Discord, you may be wondering where the usual Monday post is. We didn’t forget to write it, but we had planned and prepared to publish the build post instead.
As we tested the build, however, we decided to give you a better experience by getting rid of some smaller errors we caught before releasing to the wide public. We are currently polishing our latest tech demo for release.

It is the start of the month, and we missed the time frame we said it would be likely we’d release. Based on how the week went, it is more likely that this upcoming weekend could be the date the release may be wrapped up, that is, if no more surprise problems come ruin our plans again.
What went wrong?
New parts requiring recolors popped up: Besides the arms problems, and some alternative parts for Kay that all had to be redrawn in the color to allow redraws, the new coloring ...
