Motion Capture Animation Test - Reply to Comments

Thanks for your comments about the animations. I just wanted to address a couple of things.

Firstly, those animations were just tests. They're not something I'm planning on putting into the game. I used the dance animations because the extreme movements would more readily reveal any problems with the process of importing them into Daz.

And the motion capture files don't include facial expressions, so I have to add those. As these were just tests I didn't add any to Suzi, and the o...

Motion Capture Animation Test

These are just a couple of test animations I rendered, but I thought you might enjoy seeing Suzi and Emma dancing.

I wanted to see if I could use motion capture data to help create animations faster. There are some problems importing the animations into Daz Studio, you can see the hands floating around and the finger poses are all wrong, but I can fix that relatively easily.

Adding Animations to Hillside

I've talked about it for a long time, but now I've finally decided to add animations to Hillside.

Last week I spent time figuring out Daz's animation tools, investigating other animation software, and testing different video editing software. The embedded video is a result of that and the first proper animation I've created in Daz.

When I previously asked about adding animations, the main concern people had was the length of time it would take. Now that I've actually created some ...

Happy New Year

Happy New Year!

Thank you for your support in 2021.

I won't be posting any development updates tonight, but I'll make a post over the weekend and let you know what I've been working on this past week.

I hope 2022 is a great year for you.

Thank you,
DB

V0.11 Progress Update 24/12/21

Poll Result: WINNER - Charlotte

Unsurprisingly, Charlotte retains her crown!

Thanks for voting and please allow me to wish you a Merry Christmas.
I hope you have a wonderful day.

Poll Result: 2nd Place - Emma

Runner-up again. Let's hope there are no tears this time...

Poll Result: 3rd Place - Suzi

She may have finished in third place, but she's trailing a long way behind her younger sister.

Poll Result: 4th Place - Lucy

While Lucy will be delighted to have beaten Kaylah, I thought she might have finished ahead of Suzi.

Poll Result: 5th Place - Kaylah

Slightly surprised to see Kaylah in last place. I thought she would beat Suzi at least.

V0.11 Progress Update 17/12/21

Who's your Favourite?

Which of Hillside's beautiful ladies is your favourite?

Previous polls were won by Emma and Charlotte, but Kaylah is being included in the poll for the first time this time around. Could she challenge Charlotte and steal her crown?

Once the poll has finished I'll post a special image of each one.  I'll post an image a day in reverse order, ending with the winner on Christmas Day.

Thanks,
DB

V0.11 Progress Update 10/12/21

Hi.

I've changed the chart slightly to try and make it clearer.

The storyboarding will be finished this weekend, then I can start on the renders which is obviously what takes the most time.

Thanks,
DB

V0.11 Teaser Images

Charlotte is ready to tell the MC everything, but not without a little help.

Emma is angry and upset.

The MC meets Detective Carter to find out what's going on.

New Character Teaser

This is a teaser image of a new character that will be introduced in the next update.

Taller than Charlotte and well-built, she is physically imposing and has a personality to match. A potential sexual partner for the MC, but who is she?

And just a reminder that the first teaser images will be posted next week. Then I'll start posting the weekly progress and development updates from Frida...

Quick Update

Hi.

Firstly, I'm sorry that I forgot to advise $1 patrons of the new release date. V0.10 will be released for you on 5th December.

Shortly after that I'll post the first v0.11 teaser images for everyone.

And just to let you know what I've been working on, this week I've been writing the story for v0.11 and catching up on Patreon rewards that I'd fallen behind with.

Next week I'll start the process of storyboarding which, once completed, will give me an idea of how big ...

Comments and Messages

Hi.

Sorry, but I haven't read all of your comments and messages yet. I'm just focused on getting v0.10 finished as soon as possible and can't deal with anything else at the minute.

So if anyone is waiting for a reply, apologies. I'll get around to it once this is done.

Thanks,
DB

Another Missed Release and Apology

I'm sorry for promising and missing another release date.

I know people will be justifiably pissed off, and I can only apologize again.

Clearly something is very broken with how I'm currently managing things. I tried making changes after the last release when exactly the same thing happened, but they clearly didn't work. So I will have to try making more radical changes this time.

There's obviously no point in me giving you another release date, so I'll just say that I will ...

V0.10 Release Update

Hi,

Just a quick update and apology.

Sorry v0.10 hasn't been released yet. I'm still working on it.

I will release it as soon as possible and update you if anything changes.

Apologies,
DB

UPDATE 8th November:

I was hoping to get it finished and released today, but I'm not going to manage it.
So it will be released tomorrow evening.

Thank you for your patience, and sorry again for the delay.

V0.10 Release Date

V0.10 release date:

7th November for $5+ patrons
21st November for $1 patrons

Hi.

I wanted to apologize for this update taking so long and explain why it is.

Normally, I pick a section of the story that I think I can get done in the 8-9 weeks that is my aimed for release schedule, and try to get it done within that time. But v0.10 is different because it is leading up to pivotal events that are set to happen in v0.11. So ...

V0.10 Progress Update 22/10/21

Nearly there. I'll post a release date Sunday night and tell you a little bit about v0.10.

Thanks,
DB

V0.10 Progress Update 15/10/21

Hi.
We're getting close to completion of v0.10 now and I should be able to give you a release date next week.
But I estimate that it will take another 3 weeks to complete and test.

Thanks,
DB
