Hello everyone, welcome to this week's progress report.
Level: We started work on several areas, including the Pillar Region, its ground area, and the roots surrounding it, as well as the Yterra wreck, bringing these locations one step closer to their final state. In parallel to that, we started adjusting the Umbar layout to better fit its quests and optimize the distance between important spaces within Umbar.
Code:This week, we adjusted the leveling system, so Maya will silently receive experience before chapter 3 if Max has reached the same level as her starting level. Maya will start at level 25 with knowledge points already invested into attributes and perks. In the same stroke, we implemented a perk and attribute reset feature, allowing you to spend your knowledge points on different perks/attributes.We also started working on an improved toy integration that more closely matches the visible motion from the sex scenes, especially for stroking toys.
Character:In the last few weeks, we have been working on implementing the final weapon models as they get completed. All these cool weapon models will of course be available in the sandbox as placeable props. We also added a funny new outfit for the sandbox - the hillbilly farmer lady.
Animations: On the Animation side, we polished up the Maya x Zyke quest a bit this week. Him checking her for injuries and measuring for armor are no longer just text lines, but interactive scenes now, during which you can choose how Maya should act around him. We implemented some revised dialogue for these scenes along with the animations, as well. We have also started to work on additional content and adjustments to the Max x Shey romance, a new sex minigame is planned as well as a weightlifting minigame with her at the gym along with some smaller tweaks to the existing two minigames.
Design:In the design department, we finished the design of the comment system for NPCs and also finished the distribution of around 30 voices to our roughly 150 characters. This was one of the most relevant steps before we begin the actual voice actor casting. Additionally, we started to write all the different comment variations for our voices and expect to finish this task by next week.We also took a closer look at the Max x Maya romance and how exactly that will build up and play out in the story mode.
Thank you for all your continued support,
