I've been learning new techniques, experimenting with new tools, and improving my workflow for creating the game's characters. The new characters started to stand out in terms of quality compared to the older ones, so a remaster was necessary, especially for the main character. Meet the new Daniel, with more realistic eyes and hair strands, 4K textures, skin deformation in normal maps, pubic hair, an improved rig, and a slight change in his facial structure to make him look younger.

I felt my heartbeat quicken, perhaps due to the fact that I was getting into a stranger's truck in the middle of nowhere, at least 20 km from home. The intimidating gaze of the man sitting in the driver's seat certainly contributed to my anxiety.
The man exhaled smoke through his mouth while staring at me. I realized I had been holding my breath until I finally inhaled the nicotine-laden air. His tight jeans perfectly outlined his member between his thick thighs. Somehow, the situation ...

One more scene needed to be created for the new chapter to explore the main character's relationship with water and to bring two important characters closer together. And, of course, take advantage of the waterfall bath to get them naked, because why not?
I used the same water shader that I used in Chapter 3, which at the time caused several crashes and freezes with my old CPU. I'm really excited that I can now work with this shader and add much more detail to the scene without major issu...

One of the areas where I dedicate a lot of attention and time is modeling, texturing, and animating the characters' genital parts. This isn't something you can find online with good quality, so it needs to be created from scratch. I want each genitalia to be unique in size, shape, thickness, color, hair, and circumcision, so you can associate the type of genitalia with the character.
I always revisit the first chapter to compare the evolution of the graphics, and the genital part is no ...

The scenes in the new chapter will be more elaborate and detailed. This time, most of the story will take place on a farm, contributing to the contrast of scenes and giving the player a sense of exploration and freedom as they discover new places and meet new characters.
At first, I was hesitant to introduce this setting because the amount of vegetation needed might not be supported by my hardware. However, after some optimizations, all tests went well, running smoothly and ready for re...

Since the beginning of the game, I've wanted to add something more interactive for the player. Along with the idea of a smartphone, came the idea of adding an app similar to Grindr or Tinder, where you could meet new guys and potentially arrange dates.
I'd also like to offer the possibility of adding custom characters, chosen by our community, that don't affect the main story. As an example, I created André, inspired by the character Ander from the series Elite.
As a thank you for th...

Approaching on his trotting horse, I could glimpse the handsome face partially hidden behind his large cowboy hat. His horse-riding skills were admirable; the animal stopped at the exact moment the man pulled the reins.
-New helper? Pleasure, I'm Caio.
Caio took off his hat, and I could finally fully contemplate his beauty. I could even imagine his toned body underneath his thick leather jacket. His friendly smile opened up along with mine. Finally, something had made me excited to ...

The smartphone system is the most challenging to implement in the game due to its complexity and the need to interconnect with all other game systems. This system needed to be rebuilt for the next chapter to meet the game's needs. Previously, it was more of a concept; chats were static images, with no integration with the rest of the game. Now, it will be possible to translate all chats, save progress, easily access variables, change the course of the game, interact with the story, and have t...

I'm thrilled to announce the new chapter of Finding Buddies. It's probably the longest chapter so far, with new features and gameplay, new characters, increased quality, and various animations.
Thank you for following the development of this chapter here every week and for contributing to making it happen. I can't put into words how happy and grateful I am.
Thank you all. <3

The final scene of the new chapter has been completed: the barracks dormitory. After working for a long time on a single scene, with the same lights, I'm always excited to add the characters to a newly finished scene, test new lighting setups, and perform rendering tests. With a nighttime setting, I can play with opposing lights like the cool blue of the night and the warm orange lamps inside, adding contrast to the final rendering.
For the next chapter, I wanted to give the player more f...

Recently, I've been experimenting with new techniques to facilitate character posing and animation. Using blend shapes controlled by bones, deforming fabric or skin has become much easier, without having to make manual adjustments for each new pose.
The improvement in animations has been noticeable since the first chapter was released. It makes me want to remaster the first chapter to match the others. Perhaps in the future.
I also want to announce that Chapter 4 of the game is ar...

The animation part is what I enjoy the most in seeing the result and implementing it into the game. My desire was to make the entire game animated, without static images. However, besides requiring a lot of time, not only in production but also in rendering, 3D animation is probably the field where I have the least experience.
A few months ago, I wouldn't be able to animate a scene like this and be satisfied with the result. Since then, I've been studying and practicing to add more great ...

Nicky or Yoon, who do you choose to wake up next to after a pleasurable night?
Nicky has always shown an interest in you, since childhood, amidst judgmental looks from a conservative family to the boy's mannerisms; you welcomed him and made no distinction. However, this obsession with you may become uncomfortable.
Yoon was the school bully you walked ten steps away from, hoping he wouldn't notice you. But still, he was so charming, desired by girls; you never thought you could get som...

One month has passed since the release of the third chapter of Finding Buddies, and the progress of the new chapter is flowing very well, even with several new scenarios to be modeled or remodeled.
It's incredible to be able to evolve the scenarios graphically and compare the bathroom from the first chapter with this new recruits' locker room. I am always learning new things in order to deliver a good graphic quality in a visual novel.
Seeing this scenario, what would you expect...

A mature man, likely triple my age, old enough to be my grandfather. But his appearance and physique said otherwise, his towering stature and extremely imposing build resembling that of a muscular, majestic racehorse.
A mountain obscuring the morning sun that warmed my face, that's what I thought when he parked in front of me. His intimidating gaze locked onto me, making my legs tremble. His authoritative and mysterious figure, his serious and stern tone, and his firm speech seemed capabl...

Hello everyone
First of all, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you. You keep this game going, motivate me, and I am very happy with the growth of Finding Buddies.
A year ago, I was still developing the first chapter of the game with a 750ti, i5 4th generation, and 8GB of RAM. I remember that this exterior scene of the ROTC was very heavy; the computer struggled to run it. I couldn't add more details, or else the program would crash every 5 minutes.

Missed him?
Lucas is the guy Daniel met on the day of his enlistment. He seemed like a nice guy, besides being very handsome. It's a shame he's in a relationship. Will Daniel be able to develop a friendship? Or maybe something more?
With the development of Chapter 4 underway, what would you like to see? I want to hear your opinions and suggestions for the next chapter.
Thanks you <3

I am thrilled to see more people supporting the project. Thank you for being here.
With the release of the 3rd chapter, it's time to begin development on the 4th, and in this upcoming chapter, Daniel won't be able to evade his duty - the ROTC.
Consequently, new scenarios has to be created, starting with the backgrounds of the military barracks.
Designing scenarios is always a very enjoyable process for me. I get to express my ...

Happy New Year!
In 2023, the year Finding Buddies was launched, I received the first reviews of the game in month 3, with players giving it a fantastic reception. This really excited me—seeing many people enjoying a product I created, a feeling I've always wanted while developing games as a hobby, especially for a game I had envisioned during my intimate moments in adolescence. A product that satisfies me and provides an interactive experience.
Despite the challenges, dedi...

Hello everyone, I wanted to show you a bit of the dick creation process for the game. This is probably the only process I start from scratch, including sculpting, retopology, modeling, texturing, and rigging. It's a relatively lengthy process since each character has a different penis, and I like to incorporate various characteristics into them. You'll be able to see different sizes, colors, ball sizes, whether it's uncut or not, and vein patterns. There are so many possibilities, and I love ...
