Little game update!

Ive been working on several of the games features, a bit back and fourth on the camera system(this encompasses the dialog camera, sex camera, and smart object cameras), ai movement in general, ai needs system and some various smaller features like using smart objects, animation blueprint cleanup etc etc

I will start linking my stream channel a bit more, so that you guys can check out longer snippets, or just scrub through finished streams for updates also, so expect more stream links ev...

Game update!

So I will be slowly easing into game making this month. ive already done a few evenings with it, making some more updates on my ai, and some general stuff.

Seriously ai are so damn annoying when you need them to walk around, and not get stuck on things, or walk endlessly into the player feelsbadman

but yeah, just wanted to say that ive started with some baby step fixes. Cant wait to start implementing features again though <3 Ill be oficially back mid this month, but I think a ...

Update!

Update from my last post a few months ageon my current situation/ when ill be coming back to patreon and commissions.

I am nearing finished at last, and I cant wait to be back to game making etc <3 I am slightly delayed from my original estimate, which was late may, but the delay is to around mid june. After that I am a free man \o\ Cant wait to go back to coding on my bootifull game again =D

Although I have not had time to make any content, I have been looking up some tutorial...

Update..

So, Ive been dreading to write this, due to my shit track reckord last year, and me finally thinking for the millionth time that id have more time, however I got a few stern talking to mid last month that I need to ''take things a bit more seriously'' regarding the irl stuff thats kept me very busy. Me working on my game is seen as wasting time/ not working, so I am beyond frustrated at this point.

i also got a shortened deadline, so now im back to zombie mode, and having no time for pa...

my website is up again now!

payment hadnt gone through again, and i didnt see the emails telling me. Dx

Game update

hey! So, ive been working on a lot of boring stuff for the game currently :p

Uvw mapping the bikinis, so that I can paint on them, and readying them for the game etc.

Same goes for the animations in the sex mode. After updating my rigs, I have been looking at the current animations, and Ive been considering changes to the way the animations are done. I was testing longer animations at one point, although I landed on going back to short animations, that are instead changed between ...

Outfit wips!

The guy ive commissioned has been working his ass off creating bikinis :D there are a few more to come.

Once I have uvw mapped these, I will hand paint these. The colours on the outfit atm are just color ids, so all outfits will be recoloured so that they can be mixed and matched. Ill split the panties and bras etc into their own items once I get them into the wardrobe.

Happy new year! Also, heres an update!

Working on an autorig lipsync rig

https://gyazo.com/0196363ee264dbdda2966dd688e3e7bc 

(looks laggy as my pc is rendering something in the background)

Im almost done coding this, just missing a few more features to it, then I can finally do lipsync for the voices much faster :D

Also, Ive got several bikinis ready to be added to the game now, although theyve not been coloured ...

Finished 3 projects

finished 2 commissions now (above model commission, + a pure rigging commission, for a second commissioner.)

and also ive fully finished 1 of the models I was making for someone last month, so that is 3 less projects off my plate. 

Only got 1 more commission left, + half a model to finish(started the model last month) Shelfing those until january tho. Gonna have some fun with my game during the holidays :) Also I really want to make a proper lip sync rig, with a singular cont...

Update

its been a busy month, but ive gotten a lot of things done on the game. ive replaced both characters skeletons a bit again, with some updates to take into account the updates i did to my rig the alst few months. After that ive replaced the walking, idle and sitting animations for both characters. Cleaned up unneccessary and old animations/files.

Ive started re-adding the animations i had. Im re-using them, but loading the new rigs on them, then exporting them into unreal again. I have a...

Updated hands for nelf males

I will update the nelf male in my game with this too

Also, below is a wip of a hairstyle im working on for one of my model commissions

Update

The last angle of the tyrande animation is currently being rendered! it is a more frontal angle.

Also! I have gotten far on updating the animation systems i had in place for my ai and player character, so im getting closer to be able to show you all some previews! 

Ive been updating the look at system to a completely new method that gives me more control. This has allowed me to add in a little feature where yall can move the players head by holding down the middle mouse butto...

update

I needed a little break from animation / modeling atm, so ive spent the past few days working on my game. ill have a little update for you all soon. 

ive been reworking the ai a bit, specifically his walking as the default unreal one is a bit weird at times. so ive made my own system for rotations and everything. im also making a bit more customised look at system. once i have animations in ill link yall a preview :D

hand update for males

updated the hands on my human male. made them smaller to match the females more,and be less in the way. i also reshaped them to look more like hands, + a small texture update.

im currently working on a model commission. 

im also working on reuploading angle 1 of the tyrande animation, and a third angle. ill poke you all later today once those are up.

Angle 4 of 4 up

Dec 04:

Last angle is up! It got that stupid af blinking on the dicc, but im letting that be for now.

Nov 22:

ive fixed angle 1, and uploaded angle 3. angle 4 will come a bit later, as im currently working on a commission. 

Nov 16:

Im sadly gonna have to re-render the se...

good news!

after 8 ish hours i finally found what was causing the files to crash. it was very fucking well hidden, so ive had to go through probably 30+ crashes and 8+ hours, at last i found it! The issue was with the druids diccs, which was completely crashing the files no matter what i did. after moving stuff around in their rig file, the file finally works again! i had to make some fixes to the animation, but im very close to finalicing it again. ill be able to start rendering likely within the hour ...

theres an issue with the animation file

heres the first image angle, and its pretty much done.

https://liardart.com/ashenvale-reinforcements/

i was going to render yesterday, but somehow when i was going to render, the file just kept crashing, and i later found out that this error persisted through all my extra saves. 

i believe this is salvagable, but its going to take a while. i already spent 5 hours trying to fix it / lo...

lighting wip

https://gyazo.com/09e82975d573c7a39b685f4950162d32 

coded a few mini scripts to make setting up backgrounds a bit faster. its slowed down my progress for this piece, but i really love them, as they cut down my time on setting up materials/shaders among other things.

the animation is done, so im hoping to be able to start rendering this one in not too many days :D

background wip

Animation wip. Im about 80% done animating

Mostly only the face and some details left + i still havent painted the dicc texture yet.

lil spine rig update

Ive really enjoyed the spine rig ive been doing for the quadrupeds, so figured id try to finally find a way to integrate it into my humanoid rigs too. its rigged to be optional, so that i can turn it off on old animations (so swaps are still compatible)

https://gyazo.com/33d78b784b8864eb0574ffb8fded5777 

First few seconds show the updated version. then I turn it off at the end and show ...

Animation blocking(early wip)

https://gyazo.com/f362c5dc73ab63c1b522899ddaa3da6e 

ive blocked out the back druid first, and ill start finetuning tyrande a bit tomorrow. The frontal druid will be blocked out more once I got tyrandes actions down.

Doing my best to make my animations a bit more dynamic \o\

Content update

The tyrande animation is now about 25 seconds long. I might end it around 30 in total. ill get yall a wip once im done blocking the various animation stages \o\

ive also finished fixing the catform rig, finally. so only got a bit of texture painting left before I can call it finished for now. The spine was having some rotational issues, along with the dicc and spine needing a stretchy feature added

Hair wip

So the hair is missing 90% of whats supposed to be on the top, and the front is just started, but yeah. its getting there kekW.

I havent been in an animating mood this week, so ive just been working on more technical /background stuff, like rigging. and the 2 gifts(that are very close to done). However ill shelf them a bit though, so i can get you guys a wip of the tyrande animation soon

The catform rigs are working pretty nicely now, with only a slight issue with the spine, which...

Wip models

Almost finished the first model I started on a while ago, and second one is in mid texturing stages.

Thes models wont be used for animations as of now, as theyre just 2 gifts Ive been wanting to make for a few months. 

Wip + old upscaled animations

The pose is very early stages, and broken at the moment as im still mid rigging in features for the druids. I need this form to be fairly flexible, so taking a bit longer to make sure it works well.

This will include a semi bj for the front druid.
