Hello!
The next update is around the corner. I hope it's ready on Sunday, but can't promise. However, I want to share with you why it took longer again. We tested an idea to replace some older animations and it wasn't as easy as expected.
So, some older animations in the game do no longer match our current quality standard. There are usually two main reasons for that:
Back then, we were less experienced with the animation software.
There was also a period when our quality control for the drawings was not where it should have been.
So for the next update, we came up with a quest where it would make sense story-wise to reuse some of these older animations. We wanted to see how easy it would be to improve existing animations simply by adding extra layers and more detail, such as stronger shadows, better muscle definition, and more structure.
As it turned out, it was not that easy haha xD In some cases, it was actually even more complicated than starting over. In the end, we basically had to recreate the animation from the sketch stage (using a slightly improved drawing)
But well, lesson learned...
Here is an example of a reworked animation with a improved drawing: the dragon-dildo ride from one of the orgy quests.
Note: The in-game quality is higher. We can only use GIFs here.
The original scene looked like this:
Notice the difference: we added more definition to the belly muscles and some additional anatomical structure around the vagina. We also reworked the hair and face.
HOWEVER, even the new animation still doesn’t feel 100% right. As mentioned before, we were looking for a quick way to improve the quality so that new content wouldn’t be delayed because of older assets. But after trying this approach, we’ve realized that it doesn’t really make much sense. If we decide to replace other old animations in the future, we will most likely create completely new drawings instead.
See you soon <3
