Test Commission Source Files from Deniis
During the artist search phase, I got some comments regarding the concerns of AI being used. While that's of course very difficult to 100% rule out, based on the interactions with Deniis and the resulting consistent adjustments to sketches, as well as the layered source files that he submitted for his completed work, I would say that it's safe t...

And we are done with the test commissions. I think we are good to enter the art main production.
Project Plan June
We return to Liora's Price of Dignity this month. Last dev cycle, I prepared a whitebox, technical prototype and this (and the next Liora dev cycle), the focus will be mainly on turning it into a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) and release that as version 0.1.0.
There's a lot to do, so let's jump into the weekly break-down!

Rean Date H-CG - Couple Sex Variation (Poll)
As mentioned in the other post, Deniis proposed to versions with minor differences for the base Liora and Rean couple sex CG. I like both versions and could imagine the body language being a hint more refined (A) as well as being a bit more open (B) towards her lover. Time limit is just 1 day since this is just meant to be a minor poll and I don...

Since the poll is no longer ongoing, I can post the intermediate versions without worrying about the incomplete work affecting it.
I think Liora's pose appears a bit too sexy for the story start.
UPDATE: Deniis addressed my ...

Test commission by our main artist candidate Deniis for Liora's Edgar Date (Groping Variation) event. No variations like facial expressions to keep it simple for the purpose of the test commission.
Liora's character design has also been iterated for a less pink base design.

It's been a long time since we have done this: The search for an artist for our new game! A couple of weeks ago, I put out a call and received a lot of applications. Among those, I have picked 5 that I believed to have the most potential considering their ratio of portfolio quality and their pricing to participate in a test commission round.

After a while finally, a new base CG! Will be in today's prerelease - although the prerelease may be delayed by some hours since I'm currently on travel and the train wifi is very unstable.
