Anduo Report May 17th, 2024

Welcome, cleanse thyselves with news from the creators! This week we visit the arsenal of bliss and greet new festering ideas.

Less:

I had asked less to create some creatures for me. Specifically, I wanted to have monsters alongside Goblins in the Cave, which is housing the goblins. I’m not 100% sure if these monsters will be the perfect fit for the cave, but I love the concepts!

PMPerfect:

The gloryhole area and the goblin hive is what PMPerfect is currently working on. Have a look!

 PMPerefect had some for the cage ideas:

Here some outlines for a higher goblin tent with possible elf slave right in it or two slaves beside their throne

 Initial sketch ideas for more ruins inside the cave:

 A quickly implemented in-engine look to feel the vibe of it

Jugger:

Jugger has been continuing his work on the new Alda look for the Melt Bad End. I 100% want this look to be in 0.6. Luckily, it’s really almost done now finally! You can see a bunch of WIP’s of the hair below! c:

Nerada:

Nerada has been focussed on combat animations, have a look! c:

Animations for the arbalest(shoot,idle, reload)

Zanzo:

 Zanzo has been working on improving the UI further! A lot of his work can already be seen in 0.5. The whole flow and implementation of the UI is way more professional than anything I could have done. So glad to have them on the team!

Sempiturnon:

 Heya, your local lewd community manager and little studio helper is here! („• ᴗ •„)

 I recently put together a little trailer for our newest content update. All the footage is actually from me playtesting the game! So you know everything you see is what you get. ❤️

I tried  taking a screenshot and a little gif just for a semblance of an idea on what I was exactly doing.

 This kind of work usually incorporates me playing through the most recent build of Erokin and recording every second of it!

Then I go through the entire footage and pick out the spiciest moments and slap them together.

Usually I also need to think of an underlying idea on what would string it together and make it a bit clearer on what’s going on in the game even to a newcomer. 

 Here I was just going for the femguard being the narrator and showing how much the church is toying with Alda.

The little teeny tiny bits are the actual parts I end up using for the mini trailer and the big chunks are the footage I still need to go through.

 Oh yeah! All the gifs you see used to be churned out by Vils through ezgifs, now I am helping with making sure that everyone's work footage on the team is smooshed into ezgifs. 

 Then I wait for this kitty cat to vibe and I get a gif that I put here on the report!

Thank you for tuning in our reports - I really appreciate it! :) 

Bearcore:

Heya gamers!

I am glad to have finally gotten 0.5 into your hands and I hope you’re having a ton of fun with it! Most of my recent time was spent fixing bugs to finally get 0.5 out. An especially gnarly one ended up skipping about 50% of sounds. Including dialogues. Finding the root cause (I still don’t 100% understand why it happens) and fixing it was a huge pain in my butt.

In the end, assigning a position to every single sound effect fixed the issue. I believe it has something to do with sound caching in unreal 5. I am by far not the only one with the issue, but the fix that worked for seemingly everyone else did not work for me. 

Anyways, now that that’s out of the way, I’m taking a little break off of straight up new sex scenes and decided to polish up some of our rigs and models!

Both Fiona and the Nun model have gotten a new, cleaner rig. I won’t do the same effort as I did with Alda where I made the old animations work on the new rig though. Instead we’ll just make new animations. It’s no big deal as there aren’t really many animations I’d want to reuse either way.

Throughout this process, I randomly started changing the Nun model around. I had a rough idea of wanting a special Nun that we’ll use for story parts. In the end I landed on goth makeup with a church-symbol-scar on her left eye. .less luckily helped me a ton with the texture work, couldn’t have done it without em!

This is Eris (Name might change). She will be the one tasked with teaching Alda the ways of the church. My idea right now is to have Eris drag Fiona along with her. I really want to have Fiona involved in the Melt bad End!

Thank You for attending our vigil. We hope that Goddess Peitho helps you find the path to bliss and never stray from it.
