Hey, folks!
0.8.12
Starting with Beta, Intimacy 2.0 is live for Lyriel, Rae, and Cait! And we already have some very nice new additions such as the new scenes with Rae by the pool!
But yeah, even though it's enabled, Intimacy 2.0 is still very much a work in progress. We're sorting activities across intimacy levels, but some of the old ones are outdated, others should be changed, and we need a whole lot of new high-intimacy ones. Rae should get a sleepover in her room option in EA, but that's just one thing, and they need a lot of things.
Even for Rae and Cait, we need to add about 20 new scripts in total, not counting the updates to existing ones. But then there's Naomi, Yona and Blair. While we don't really need to fix their activities, it's just because they basically don't have any. We won't be enabling Intimacy 2.0 for them until they have some, probably at the end of Summer at the earliest.
But!
The Dream of Eurydice is almost done! We're waiting on voice work, finalizing simulations, adding jiggles and plaps, and the final animation should be ready for EA! Those of you who wanted to give it to her - rejoice!
Future Plans
Even though we're going to be busy with the Intimacy 2.0 content for a while yet, the story is not completely stopped. Next update should bring a story push for Blair. The work on the new environments is going well, and we even have Lyriel menacingly t-posing in them.
I can't say for sure if we're going to be able to finish it for the next update, but Rae's kitchen animation remaster has been selected by y'all as the top priority. I can see why, it looks really dated, and we can definitely make it much, much better now. I'll be sharing previews and estimations and stuff as we get to it.
In addition to the remaster, we're going to keep adding new sex scenes as well. We want to get all the Cait's friends' dreams done, and we have Inga and Nira left. Stay tuned for the scene polls!
Pipeline Works
In the last few dev updates I've been talking a lot about pipeline this and pipeline that, and, uh... I'll probably keep talking about it for a while. But it's actually going well! We've been making new tools and plugins, testing our new rigs and models, and it's looking good.
Cait's model from the Wedding Special version is being updated to get even closer to her canonical look, and you should see her in her newfound glory soon! New Rae model is on the way too, and she's going to be even more Rae than she was before!
Goodies
We don't really have any Rift goodies now since everyone's busy with the pipeline migrations, Intimacy events and stuff, so we have something from the Horny Herring Studios for you!
Have these Zhu Yuan animation loops in full hd, and if you want more animations, VR versions and the like - ➡️consider joining!
See you soon!
