Another update on the game
Posted 7 years agoI feel like I jumped the gun on revealing it since it was still very much in a uh... prototype phase. But this New Direction has also sort of hit a dead end with all kinds of problems cropping up. Alot of it is to do with the insistence on 2d sprites in a 3d environment where everything becomes one compromise after another just to try stop it looking too weird. But it's gotten to a point where the compromises are making the 3d evironment seem redundant, so i'm rethinking things again.
Really i'm considering the idea of ditching the Game and just doing some bigger animations, but i'm still thinking about it since I like the theme of games.

Update on the game
Posted 7 years agoI'm thinking about refactoring it a bit. Or alot. I'm not entirely sure yet.
Been drawing more of the guard and trying to finish him the last week and a bit, but what's starting to bother me are a few things. One is that we're just making a Worse Version of Thief that happens to have sex strewn about, like a dumb parody that takes itself too seriously, and the other is... porn density. I get hung up on the idea of context for porn and the more I think about the kinda setting i've come up with, the more I think it's kinda limited on what you can do that makes sense in that context.
The basic idea was that i'd have pretty much all the weird sex clustered in areas of the map, as kind of a thing you can discover while exploring it. And I think that's great for the theme, but maybe not so great for... being actually sexy and engaging. And the only way around that I could figure would be to just add a gallery that further separates the porn from the game.
Most of the work put into it so far was all of the weird stuff you don't really notice, like textures and the systems for playing animated sprites, experimenting to see what works and doesn't work visually, or even just learning how to use unity's stupid tools, and alot of that can be reused.
Anyways i've got some ideas on where to take it instead. Most likely it'll be set in 5-EX like everything else. I still think that's a funny idea for a setting to explore, and it's convenient for justifying alot of the kinda stuff i'd want to put in a sexy game.

I don't much care for the idea of gating final content with a paywall (how's that for some 2010s buzzwords) but i've set it so if you donate $2 or more it should link you to the Secret Discord, where i'll post WIPs.
The dream is to be able to do this stuff full-time and produce some ambitious projects. I've got alot of ideas from games to sexy stop-motion. I think sexy stop-motion is possible and something we'll see in our lifetimes.

I fucked my drivers up.
Posted 7 years agoThought i'd try hooking that pen display up to my desktop. Here's what it looks like. It's a little goofy. I made it in a hurry when I realised I needed it - i've got plans for something better in the future.
I didn't hook it up earlier because I was worried about driver conflicts. And that's exactly the problem. But I can't get anything working now, even my mouse stopped working for a bit, so I think it's time for that long overdue reformat.
Here's an animation I've been sitting on for a bit.

The main reason I wanted the pen display hooked up to the desktop is for inking this. Nothings ever easy!
