I went to get a fuckin salmon bagel and maple latte with breastmilk and left there and I felt unreasonably good, like I thought I made peace with my demons and shit cuz I had a fat hangover from drinking with my supervisor last night. So I left the shop feeling like I was at peace I could feel the good vibes pouring throughout my body and limbs experiencing orgasmic euphoria and then I got home and it didn't fuckin stop, like at all. It was fuckin weird. I started getting extremely paranoid at the consistent heightened amount of euphoria that I felt.
I was getting exhausted from it but I liked the way shit felt a bit but then my joints started hurting. it was too much an it didn't die down till like 6pm, but I think I'm clean now. I don't like downers, I'm a upper kinda guy. Ya know, Meth, Cannibalism, and Incest. That's me not taking molly and listening to ambition anime girl study for 5 hours straight. What the fuck is she even studying anyways fuck her.
Oh right Devlog, as Always thank you for staying subscribed to us as I'm sure many of you were frustrated with the lack of posting on my end, BUT there is alot to cover since the last POST and ALOT of progress has been made so LETS FUCKING GET ON WITH IT YEA?????
[ Today's Article ]
ALOT OF PROGRESS HAS BEEN DONE SO THIS ARTICLE WILL BE NICE FAT AND FUCKING JUICY GET YOUR MCDONALDS AND DIET COKE READY

The Options Menu has a few things needing polish as you can see int he pictures Ill be posting such as:




This shit was important to be, so I like visuals, buuuuuuut. I also fuckin love words, so when I see them in combination with each other, I can GIGA-NUT.
Some serious writing Elbow Grease went into this, let me explain!

225 LINES OF SEX NARRATION DIALOGUE I HAD TO WRITE


Will be Shown in a Seperate Video Patreon Post SO YOU CAN HEAR SHIT!
So for the rooms in the Apartment, I decided to split them for the more traditional Japanese set up, plus its one more room to go in so I figured why not?
So for the first room, its gonna be the Toilet ROOM!!! WOOOOOOFSDNASJKGVNDFJKASNGJKDSJGNSDAGBVDASNJKGNDSKLNDSKL
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
so I contacted our Background Artist and gave him a simple sketch to turn into something SEXY, we want the room Compact but Spacious enough to walk around. It will be populated with things to do and ALOT of ways to harrass Ashley.

This was our bathroom before but there's alot wrong with it. Hard to believe this background is almost 3 years old,

Jurry made ALOT of gains over the years as an artist and it shows!

Initial Sketch

Linework

Finished Art

Finished Art Open Door and Cabinet

Finished Art Opened Cabinet

After the Examples and Jurry putting in a fat amount of elbow grease it came time for my notes, it was just a small amount of adjusting and then I can slap all the art assets in the game for this room
Future Plans for this Room:
The Livingroom is THE most important part of this game. EVERYTHING can and will happen there. So I was flip flopping between compact and cozy, or BIG!



Above are notes and drafts about the potential for expanding the apartment
The problem with the big version was it took longer to get to places, it wasn't that cozy feeling or fun. after Testing in Unity I decided to go with the Smaller Version!
I also had Jurry Painstakingly Separate all the objects from the background itself so I can make compact single game objects with the art assets itself tied with hits own collisions for easier sorting and adding features too!


List of all the Unity Objects

This is the final result!

I animated the Clock to give some sort of life to the apartment with ticking Audio

I also Animated the fan that also plays audio
gif came out fucked though??????
The sleeping mechanic is the next important part to add to the immersive and progressive nature of da gayme.

The Point of Sleeping:



You can Also NAP! It's for those moments where you need to speed up time, When you Nap Your napping to the next Day State!
The Day States Are Morning, Afternooon, Evening, and Night! The Animation Below is just one of the 4 Nap Animations you see when you choose to nap!

Day transitions will display tips and tricks as well as display the Actual Month, Date, and Day of the week! Future BG Art Pieces may be used for the Day transition scene! Also Every time you see this scene the your blue balls meter will fill up slightly to get you ready for the day!
The Waking Up Scenarios are just like the going to bed ones! There is a Pool of Possible Interactions you can wake up to with Ashkey, some of them wont even be in bed, some will take place in bed and start the day somewhere else to drive the story a little bit. These pool systems are very powerful and make it very easy for us to add content!

The Base UI WAS SUCH A FUCKIN PAIN IN THE ASS TO DESIGN HOLY FUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
Getting a clear and concise design down was tough everything had to feel unique on its own but simple all together without it feeling cluttered.
Pictures for the Base UI dont really do it justice so I will be making and actual video with it along with the music changin audio since they go hand in hand


Below is very close to the Final Product!

Ashley's Stats will be displayed based on
We're currently workin on Experience Point Funcitonality, we got the systems there already, we just need to make them communicate!

The Speech bubble was another pain in the ass to polish BUT I DID IT, its in a very final state!
The original issue with it was that the speech bubble was to big and bulky especially for 1 word responses so we have so I have it Automatically resize itself based on the amount of text during Dialogue, we also have it set up where I specify it to appear anyywhere as well to keep it interesting, so it could spawn to the left right or on top of an NPC!


This was another difficult UI design to nail down, trying to get everything subtle and Cool... I went with typical Cylinder like Dialogue Choice panels.

The problems with the ones below is they cant resize properly without looking like shit. The dialogue choices you have to pick from will exceed 2 to 3 lines within a contained space, so I need that said space even and nice looking


for the Interaction List, it was a really good idea to have this in, as its a list of buttons that can cause things to happen, originally we were relying on our limite 3 choice dialogue system to navigate categories of possible player driven interactions, but it became very cluttered and annoying to navigate.
With the Interaction List it resizes based on the amount of choices available.


I UPDATED ASHLEY FOR THE LAST AND FINAL FUCKIN TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What did I FUCKING UPDATE????
THATS RIGHT SHE IS NOW PERFECT THE WAY SHE IS!
I want to show you more of the emotes but I been at this Patreon Post for 8 Hours now I think??? And I kinda have to get on with my life a little bit So Imma give you the animations below to gawk at, I cant wait to show you the Dialogue Features in the Next Patreon Post!
Thank You GUYS SO MUCH FOR SUPPORTING A GAME THAT DOES NOT HAVE A DEMO I really really appreciate it, once I take care of some shit today Im gonna distribute the Patreon Rewards for you guys, Im gonna start recording the video of the music and base ui so you guys could better understand how fucking cool this game is lol
TAKE CARE AND SEE YA IN THE NEXT PATREON POST!!!!



Old Happy Animation
