Hey guys. Sorry for taking a while to post. As I said earlier, I started dressing the characters, and some complications needed to be resolved.
When proposing a game where most of the characters will be naked at some point, the mechanics of the clothes become a big challenge. My first idea was simply the most intuitive one, to create the clothes in separate objects to be attached to the skeleton on top of the skin so I can have the clothing fully modular.
I spent a lot of time t...

Hey guys! This week I managed to give the first coat of paint to all the characters. Instead of painting one character at a time, I separated the steps and painted them all at once, this helped speed up the process, so much so that I forgot to take screenshots.
With all the characters textured within the game engine, it is easier to identify defects and make corrections. But before moving on to the next step, which would be painting the clothes, I had to define some questions regarding ...

Hello everyone, I haven't finished painting all the characters, there are twenty-nine in all, some of which have younger variations that will appear in flashbacks, but I believe I've already passed half of the work.
I'm trying to vary the ways of painting in order to find the best techniques, so some characters end up better than others. I intend to give back correcting the details to achieve quality uniformity.
I haven't prepared anything special to show you right now, but I did...

Hello everyone, I'm going to show you some places that I haven't shown you yet. If you are already tired of this theme. scroll down, I'll deal with something more interesting later
Mika lives in an apartment in this small white building. Maybe she needs a little help from Brendon and Angel, or maybe there will be another character paying her a visit.

Hey guys. I ended up accumulating subjects during this week. I thought I'd dilute it into several posts, but I don't want to flood your inbox, especially while we're talking about locations, which isn't such an interesting subject. So I'll try to be brief on each topic and I'll comment a little bit on the game's content as I introduce you to the scenarios.
I had said in ...

Hey, guys. This week I prepared most of the external objects to be textured. There's still a lot of work to do in applying different textures, but the city park already looks decent enough to show off. I'll still make changes by varying textures, repositioning trees, and adding polygons, but you can already get a feel for the art direction.
I started with extremely low poly models and the idea ...

Hey guys! This was a slow week, I had to divert my attention for a number of reasons, but I made progress in composing the sets. As I said last week I added the furniture and objects in most of the settings, however I preferred to leave the texturing for a later step.
I want to digress a little bit about this moment in development, it's nothing that satisfies anyone waiting for the finished game, but I want to share it and leave it on record for anyone who's interested.

Hey guys! I'm still working on the scenarios, I'm really liking the result. The idea of using modular parts to build the buildings made the work much simpler and with cozy aspect. I now need to furnish the rooms and apply the textures and this step will be done.
In the meantime, I made one more attempt at using AI, this time I applied a background to Penny's images, apparently the AI understands images better this way than against a gray background, which is how the images were before....

Hi everyone, I hope you are all doing well. I need to start by apologizing for this long time without news here in this space. I believe that there is no need for me to keep repeating my reasons, but I want to remind you that I will always be willing to answer any questions you have about the project, whether in the comments, in the chat, or on other networks.
It's been four days since I've been able to focus exclusively on S4H and I must confess that my decision on how to spend this ti...

Hello everybody. I apologize for the lack of news these months. I want to explain in detail in the future, but for now, I'm going to copy and paste what I wrote in f95zone because I won't be able to explain it any better.

Hello guys! I want to apologize for this long time without news, I'm in the configuration and tweaking phase, a lot of work has been done testing and redoing some things and there's not much interesting to show. So I often prefer to spend time working on the game rather than disclosing progress.
But I have good news, my daily time to work on the game has increased considerably, I got a job that allows me to work from home and control my schedules. In addition, it's a job I like to do, s...

Finally, the promised sneak peek, the opening scene of Step 3, which will leave everyone confused. It's a flashback to something that never happened, the character's current family takes on the role of the family of the past, and memories mix with desires, that's when it pays to be married to a psychotherapist.

Hello guys! The game demo is almost ready. I want to make some improvements to the new mechanics so that everything is working fine when I make it available to you. The demo's name will be "Not Related" and it will be a satire of 90's sitcoms, including "jokes" and laugh tracks.
I intended to experiment with adding AI voices to the characters, but I'm currently lacking resources, so I'll proba...

This intro opens the first scene of Step 3. Despite being just a short snippet without any interaction, it requires some mechanics that expose problems in the animation dynamics. I take the opportunity to find definitive solutions to these problems, so you won't see the character's hands out of position at the beginning of the take, which was a common problem.
Also, the whipping movement of the breasts when the character appears in the scene is fixed, among other problems. I hope that ...

Hello friends! I apologize for leaving you without news in the last few weeks, I had to dedicate myself to a job to help me with the monthly bills while trying to recover from a health problem. But everything is back to normal now and next week I can go back to dedicating myself exclusively to the game.
Right now all the animations are ready, but I can still improve some parts. I got to model some clothes and objects for the first scene of Step 3, bu...

The week went by pretty fast and I didn't get to do everything I had planned, but I managed to finish the main story scenes, now missing some modeling and texturing of some furniture and clothes.
At this point, I was able to add almost all the scene mechanics I had planned, which is really nice because it allows me to add some scenes that I had postponed.
These added scenes are still in the bases, but all the others are already assembled and waiting for some animations to be compl...

Hello friends! This week I implemented some interesting things that I would like to share with you. I might make a video showing some of these new features in action, but for now, I'll just explain it dryly.
I improved the save file, now all the data is concentrated in a single file, including the thumbnail image, which will facilitate the backup and sharing of saves.
I also reduced the resolution of the thumb, this avoids the delay that happened when opening the panel full of sav...

Hello friends! This week I managed to include a detail to the gameplay that I wanted for a long time, it's something difficult to explain and maybe at first you think it's not a good idea, but basically I created a more organic way to make the sex scenes more interactive. When the playable demo is ready I'll explain how it works and you can try it out and let me know what you think.
I fixed that sudden camera movement that happens when the angle changes. This especially annoyed in the p...

Hello friends! Another week of work and as I had planned I worked on the animations for the first scene of the game. It's a pretty out of the box scene and will probably be the one I'll make available to you in advance as a sneak peek of Step 3.
Also, I fixed the bug that prevented me from moving the scenarios around, and that gives me freedom to expand the city. Designing a city is not an easy task, but I want Blowhard to be a nice place to live, and I plan more places to visit and exp...

Hi everyone, I hope you're having a good extended weekend. I'm going to leave here a small report of my week.
I finally upgraded my computer, now I have a new motherboard with a powerful processor, 32Gb of RAM, and Windows 11 running on an SSD, thanks again to Jersson for the donation. I spent part of the week putting things together and I'm still surprised at how quickly everything opens up, so it was a really fun week for me.

Hi guys, I hope you are all well. What I bring to you here is not yet the continuation of the story, but it is a very important update that defines the visual of the game and fixes almost all the problems with the aesthetics, so if that's what bothered you the most, I recommend you to give it a try.
Hey guys! I intended this week to come back with the progress bar, I was thinking of creating something integrated with the in-game editor to show a more realistic map of progress. Unfortunately, I had to interrupt this work to deal with an annoying bug caused by me having moved the scenarios in position, this caused rotations of various parts of the game to be inverted. For now, I have reverted the scenarios to the previous position, but I still have to study a way to fix the problem.

Hey guys! This week I worked on the new locations and also on the characters that will be introduced in the next step, I won't show you yet because I haven't decided on some details about their bodies yet.
I find that when I rely too much on my personal tastes regarding the appearance of characters I dislike some people. On the other hand, I have the impression that most complainers expected a game full of Nicole clones. So I'm thinking of ways to make those choices more democratic, but...

Hey guys! How are you? I hope everyone is okay.
This week I spent most of it working on the game's script, this means adapting the text by imagining each cut of the scenes and writing the dialogue. With that, I have more defined scenes and I can tell which scene depends on another, which helps me choose the scenes that will go in the next content update.
As I said before, this update will focus on Barney (the father) and Nicole, but more on Barney for two reasons, one is that Barn...

I intended to purchase before disclosing this to you, but it's been so long since I've bought computer parts that I didn't realize how crazy the prices have become, but with the donated money it will be possible to acquire a motherboard, a powerful CPU and a good amount of RAM.

Hello friends, this week I spent most of my time configuring the changes made in the past weeks in the game. I changed the genitals topology to add texture, so I had to replace and configure the character models, the same for the new clothes and hair.
I've started adding details to the backgrounds, but I still need to finish the textures. I've also started making some changes to the beds, I plan on having the mattresses crumple under the characters.
The good news is that I managed...

Hello friends! To start this report I need to explain what a shader is, a shader is a program that tells the graphics card what to do with the textures, lights, and shapes of 3D objects within the game, so if you want your Final Fantasy looks like Zelda Breath of the Wild, you need to change shaders.
For a few months, I've been working on shaders to correct the current problems, in addition to making the game's characters look more like living illustrations and less like lifeless dolls....

Hello friends! This week I finally managed to create a system that exports the game text and imports the translation. It's something that shouldn't be that complicated, but I needed some peace of mind to think about how to do it. Now I'm going to need volunteers to help me translate the game into other languages.
I've made some changes to the clothing and hair system to allow for more flexibility, more dynamic clothing will be possible, and I'm already experimenting with more detailed h...
