The next update will be the long-awaited "sex update". Noteworthy additions will include:
Transition to 2D Mesh Animations: I'm starting the process of replacing the AI-generate animations with hand-animated layered sequences, which will allow for more accurate visuals all kinds of new interactions (see below).
Assjob and Doggystyle Sex Actions: You will finally be able to have sex with Jill! This will use the new 2D Mesh system, so the visuals will perfectly match Jill's current hair and clothing.
(Love) Stage 3 Event: The Love Stage 3 event (Karaoke Date) will (finally) be implemented.
Also a new feature to-be-determined by a poll of Plus and Super subscribers.
0.3.1 Alpha will release for Super and Plus on Thursday, 5/21
0.3.1 Beta releases for Subscribers on Tuesday, 5/26
0.3.1 Public releases on Friday 5/29
The "Additional Feature" poll will begin tomorrow May 6th and run until Wednesday May 13th (Options to be announced tomorrow)
Why Are you Switching to 2D Mesh Animations? What is that even?
I'm glad you asked. 2D Mesh animations are static 2d layers like paper cutouts that can form a character with independently-moving parts. By rigging the layers like a 3D mesh, the movement can become very fluid and lifelike. Here's what Jill's default talking layers would look like:
This way, instead of just standing there perfectly still, Jill can breathe and blink during conversations. She can even do this:
In addition to making Jill look and feel more alive, this approach will also make many features possible that could not have been done in the old system (static images and AI-rendered animations). Features like:
All clothing/makeup/piercings/etc being displayed accurately at all times (current system can only account for 1 'top' or 1 'bottom' clothing item during animations)
Unlimited reskins and recolors of existing clothing and hair (see image below)
Animated cumshots
Cum that stays on body/face and accumulates as more cumshots occur
Disembodied (Player) hands for groping, pinching, slapping, pushing
Disembodied (Player) tongue and lips for licking, kissing, sucking
Disembodied sex toys and accessories: dildo, vibe, gag, blindfold, can all easily be worked into any animation
Simulated tightness for anal/deepthroat, based on deepthroat and anal skill attributes
Consistent art style, no AI artifacts
Once the system is in place, I will be able to release mod tools for clothing items and skin layers. These tools will allow the community to take any existing item of clothing and create a new one as long as it is no larger than the original. So you can turn Jill's pants into shorts, or give her a t-shirt with a lower neckline, or hair with highlights, etc. I hope you are as excited to play with this system as I am to make it!
Thank you so much for all of your support and kindness. I think this is shaping up to be a very cool game ;)
