This week I focused on a new mechanic, and a new level!
I wanted there to be some downside to having sex, as killing enemies and healing the player can be a pretty big advantage. As such, after sex, Meridiana suffers from a post coital high.
Besides the visual effect(which I do want to tweak so that drives the point home without being annoying.), thi...

So this week I did some cleaning up here and there, then focused on wiring up sound, and finishing the Fish dude animations.
I started by cleaning up the buttons in the title screen. I haven't included the screen before because I didn't have permission to use the place holder buttons, but I made some really simple buttons of my own.
The title screen and options are super simple, but its a good jumping off point to make a usable options menu.
I also stated ...

If you're interested, here is the Fishdude stuff. It includes the models, a lot of textures, and some fbx animations.
Also included is the Maya rig so people can poke around a bit.
You're free to use him how you want, but just give me credit and show me what you did!

This post will be a bit picture and animation light, as I'll be releasing an updated build in a few days.
This week I focused on finishing most of the fish dudes animations, and smoothing a few things over.
The fish dude can now be knocked back, knocked forward, he responds to hits and can attack. So he's basically a regular enemy. His attack is two quick swipes that do a bit more damage then the goblins. At this time he doesn't have a ranged attack, so keep...

This week I implemented the first sex animation for the fish troll dude. I think it looks pretty good, but feel like it took me far too long to put together. I'm going to try to be faster in the future.
Also I hope he's not to rough with her...

This past week I tried to stay pretty busy, and got a lot of boring stuff done. So next week is onto the fun stuff.
I finished porting the new skeleton for Meridiana into unreal engine, and was able to transfer all the animations over. Because I ended up moving bones, I wasn't able to simply retarget the animations in Unreal. I was able to transfer them all to the new skeleton, and then tweak them as needed. This allowed me to go back and corre...

This week I managed to finally finish Meridiana's new rig, and get some headway on the Fishdude/Troll animations.
The new rig is done, and I've transferred most of the animations over to the new rig. While I can normally retarget animation directly in Unreal Engine, changes to some bone placement means some of the animations needed a little adjustment. In addition, I'm not using blend shapes for facial animation anymore, so I needed to recreate and facial expressions an animati...

Warning, this post will not be safe for work, it will have nudity!
While initially my plan for this week was to get a lot of animation done on the new monster so I could have him in game by the months end, something kinda cool came up.
If you have never seen the work of Stefan Ehrenhaus, you can see his youtube page here:
What kinda sex positions should he get?
This week was very busy for me, but unfortunately doesn't have a lot to show. I spent some time playing with lighting and post process effects, and then got to work getting the next enemy game ready.
Starting with the next enemy, he is retopologized and mapped, as well as almost completely rigged up.
I've already started creating some different armor pieces ...

This week I put a lot of work into the new enemy, finally added a jump(more of a hop), and started to build in aiming. I also added a start screen with a resolution setting.
As you can see in the above picture there is now a main menu in place. Right now the buttons are stand in textures made by Ben Ormstead of UnrealTutorials.com. Its something I want to change out in the immediate future, but at this point it helps to provide a little feedback for b...

I'd like to start by saying most of the credit is to a Maxwell R Taylor, who has an excellent tutorial available on youtube to show you how to set up the material function that does the computation for the matcap.

2016-03-12 05:18:32 +0000 UTC View PostSo most of you should have played at least one build and gotten some experience with the combat system.
I have been thinking about it, and given that its all casting spells, I could also go for a more third person style combat. (Think MGSV as an inspiration).
I'd like to hear your thoughts on what you like the most in stealth/adventure games combat systems. Do you like Zelda? Assassin's creed? What do you think is most interesting?
There were several different things that I worked on this week. I started by getting the death animation in game. I've given a limited ability to command enemies you've charmed, and build a new shader for more options on appearance!
I previously set up everything so that Meridiana can die, but this week I finally implemented the death animation for her.
I wanted to make charming enemies mo...

This update, unfortunately isn't very visual. It was mostly cleaning some stuff up, bug fixes, and rewriting some blueprints for future expansion.
I've tried to mask the transitions to sex animations to make them a little less jarring. To this effect there will be a quick white fade and a camera shift to try to mask everything during the animations set up and break down, and I think it works. This is something I've noticed in other games(happens a lot in Assassin's Creed ...

This past week was almost completely animation, as I worked on getting the animations for multiple sex partners implemented.
The goblin has the new mutli stage one on one animation completed, as well as animations for the first three stages of the two on one animation, and the first two stages of the three on one animations are complete. They both still need their "finisher" stages completed.
I also implemented the set up in blueprints so that the animations will ...

This week was a lot of animation work. In fact it was almost completely animation, or implementing animation! Normally I'll link pictures of gifs of the various animations, but given the amount, I'm going to skip that this time. I will include a small video link for a few animations <3.
First I made a set of "got hit" animations for Meridiana. She will now stumble a bit if she's hit. She also has different animations if she's hit from the front, b...
2016-02-14 05:03:24 +0000 UTC View PostThere is a reason that Meridiana has the ability to drain foes energy through sex, and it has to do with her parentage.
As such, one of the major reoccurring characters that she will be dealing with is her incubus "father". Now in this world, incubus and succubus are the same creatures, with the ability to switch back and for between genders at will.
Now I do eventually plan for this character to appear in his various forms, but for t...

This week was still a big focus on combat, but in this case it was animations for the goblin. I needed him to show some reactions, and so I focused on that.
I also took some time to try to automate the camera a little bit during combat.
I needed the goblin to react more and so I worked on getting animation done for the goblin getting hit, being knocked backwards and knocked forwards. If you hit the goblin from the back or front, he should react appropriately.
This is the build that has all the stuff I did in January.

Of course feedback is always welcome!
I've got a couple more people donating $10, and I would like your opinions as well.
What would you like to see for Meridiana having sex with two and three goblins at once? Do you have an idea that you think would be better for her having sex with one goblin at a time compared to what I have right now?
Keep in mind the height difference.
