This week we continued coding and post-processing renders. The first scenes are officially in and waiting for SFX! Next up will be some branch testing. The game is currently tracking a couple hundred variables that affect dialogue and scenes, sometimes with several options. Today's header cat, for example—you could only pet him if you previously selected "petting stra...

We've had the first snowfall of the year today! Winter is almost here. Meanwhile, work on Summer Heat continues. Plenty of posing, some outfit testing for a future scene, working on some custom textures and painting normal maps.
We strive to have a natural progression when it comes to clothing and outfits, little changes here and there depending on the situation a...

This week was mostly spent posing, scripting and working on new renders. There are a couple of big scenes in the 0.7 update and planning the screenplay for them does leave us feeling a bit intimidated. What if it's bad? What if you don't like it? That's always on our mind when creating content and it hasn't gotten any easier with time. However, we have gotten a lot more...

This week went by pretty fast! We worked on some scripting, Freeplay segments and props. We were unhappy with a small sequence of renders, mainly thanks to a low quality prop we had that stood out a bit too much and was in the focus, so we made our own. A spray bottle. We made a spray bottle. And it will spray... water. Absolutely necessary!
We also worked on some...

New week, new scene. This week we've been working on a scene with some returning characters who have been absent for a while. It's always nice to have some variety when working.
Soon there will be a timeskip straight to the evening and we'll get to do something fun—playing with fire! We've been creating the necessary props for this upcoming scene and they can al...

We continued working on our custom props this week. We also finished an outfit for Cassandra, something casual that also fits her very well. Back in the early days we knew nothing about fitting clothes, and it shows. However, it is much easier nowadays and it's almost fun to see the progress sometimes.
We've also created new renders, scripted a little bit and work...

We have a pretty casual week behind us. We posed, we designed and we scripted. A couple of props were also created and tweaked for upcoming scenes with the characters.
We've also been working on outfits. Mainly testing some ideas and seeing what might be fitting for the ladies. There was one idea which was nice but didn't pan out as it would've been too annoying t...

Hope you all had a good week. This week we've been going through some of the assets and scenes needed for the production of 0.7. There's not much new in the design department this update, and the set we started recently is now finished. We also continued working on the Ms. Hill scene, which mostly involves making new renders and shaping her shirt a...

This week we continued designing a minor set. A bathroom renovation, so to speak. It hasn't been seen in-game yet but its use has been implied and it will be more relevant in the game soon. We've also started working on a Ms. Hill scene. This scene will be taking place in a couple of different sets and will be our focus next.
We also picked t...

This week we began the production of 0.7. We have our new rig up and running and so far there haven't been any issues! We made a couple of test renders of the girls and all of them were well behaved without quality inconsistencies. After a few weeks, we'll know better how big overall improvement this will be when it comes to creating new content. Our initial impression ...

Quick warning: this post may be longer than 0.6. It also contains spoilers.
It's time for some post-update thoughts and we'd like to preface this post by saying that yes, it seems like we fucked up with 0.6 in several ways. The biggest issue is the size of the update, and specifically how short the playtime ended up being. C...

This week we have some good news and some bad news.
Let's start with the good news. This cycle we've had to learn how to work around some annoying issues. Next cycle, we'll have our new creation rig up and running to feed the rendering beast. This means both rigs will be running the same version of Daz3D, which should ideally eliminate all the consistency issues w...

This week we worked on the extra content, some details, and filled in a gap that felt pretty awkward after playing the game through a couple of times. There aren't many who have seen the mess that is Summer Heat prior to polishing, and luckily you won't need to worry about witnessing it either!
There is still some rendering time left, as well as SFX and coding. Ne...

Another week of nitpicking is behind us! We finished the animations which means all the planned renders and animations are done for now. We've also been going over lots of little issues and changes. As the last batch of renders comes out of the queue, some problems are cropping up again.
One perfect example of these problems is eyes. The characters' eyes. There's ...

This week we've been going through the update and working on scene transitions, SFX, coding and eliminating issues. We also made some little changes to the dialogue where necessary, and fixed poke-through in several renders.
We had a couple of bugs in one route where the dialogue would show when it wasn't supposed to. Easy fix, but there is still one more bug rema...

This week we've mostly been waiting for renders and animation frames to come out of the oven. We did some fixes here and there on the freshly baked renders, but nothing wild. A couple of animation edits remain, especially on a kissing animation. We got two of them in 0.6 and one of them has been hard to get right. Instead of making the animation loop, we'll try a non-lo...

This week we don't have much to talk about... except that we finished the planned renders! We also did a bit of coding and played through a couple of the scenes to see how we could improve the player experience. After the scenes are fully rendered out, we'll see if anything needs fixing. We know that the freeplay scene in 0.6 needs some love and there are still a couple...

This week we finished up Eve's moment and continued working on the last remaining scene. There's not much left now when it comes to making renders and waiting for them to render out. The last scenes proved to be a proper headache to work with in many ways, but we're glad they're almost over now. We won't have to bash our heads against them anymore....

This week we planned a new outro, worked on Eve's scene and scripted for 0.7. We've been wanting to add a few animations of the girls to the game for quite a while now, especially at the end where the playable content ends. But that's extra content. We'll see if we actually get around to making and implementing them after the main content is rendered. 2024-06-07 22:56:55 +0000 UTC View Post
This week we spent a lot of time working with Eve. Including her special render, which we usually don't mention in the status updates outside of the occasional link in other news. The specials are always a little fun project to work on at the end of the month alongside the normal game renders. Something different. Not entirely canon either, but they cou...
