Less:

Less has blessed us with yet another bootiful outfit to adorn Alda’s flesh with. Now bask in it’s glory:

It will be the next thing PacKing will be working on!

PMPerfect:

Hello there, gamers!

For this update, we paused the exterior and underground passage and decided to return and show some love for our street area. It has been criminally neglected, so we are in the process of reworking it thoroughly.

Updating the texture, filling the empty places, reworking old church symbols and bridges alongside with new assets and its coming together nicely, the back alley area still needs a lot more tweaks, but it's also on the right track.

It is a pleasant experience to get back to street buildings as we made them before and breathe new life into it and see how far we can take it, especially playing with new geometry to previously plain buildings.

A lot more to come, but for now with you all a great weekend and cya in the next report! <3

Jugger:

 Jugger has been chiseling at the grey marble to break the beast out:

Even though the beast is masked, it’s still good practice have a mesh for the eyes in case it is needed:

New hands made just for her with pronounced bones:

Here now with already some hues a bit closer to how we’d like it:

PacKing:

 Pack is right now working on environmental pieces! Right after that a new costume will be next up in line. Here is some peek on the progress on some of the church windows:

Pixie:

Hello! I’m Pixie, and I’ve been managing the casting for Anduogames through JuicyBee Casting for the past few years. Casting is a particular and hands-on process, ensuring the right performers are selected to bring characters to life in the game. My role goes beyond organizing casting calls; I oversee performer comfort and happiness, coordinate retakes, manage audition materials, and address any performer inquiries. We conduct both public and internal casting calls (where we reach out to JuicyBee's roster of vetted professionals). Each audition document includes comprehensive details, such as character information, imagery, audition lines, pay rates, and specific instructions on how to audition. After the submission deadline, I carefully review auditions to identify the best fit, compiling a shortlist for client selection. We focus on sourcing experienced, reliable adult performers with high-quality at-home recording setups. The number of applicants can vary widely, from roughly 10 to into the 100's, depending on factors like seasonality. Regardless of volume, all submissions are thoroughly considered. Once Anduogames selects their preferred performer from the shortlist, I notify the chosen candidate, coordinate the delivery of scripts and videos, and the delivery of the audio files to Anduogames. The cast for Erokin has been outstanding and they have brought so much depth and authenticity to the characters they've been cast as and the scenes they've been cast in. I cannot praise them enough! 

Swurst:

Swurst has been musing about a few ideas for the groping loops:

Zanzo:

Our UI wizard is overlooking the realm and adding more to it:

Merc:

Finally Eris is no longer a placeholder model! c: Bear has added her in to the game, so we can get a bit of a taster of what’s to come from Merc’s beautifully crafted model:  

Bearcore:

Bear has been tirelessly writing dialogues for the bad end scenes 

Afterwards it gets implemented in the game with blueprint:

I was flying around the level and noticed that the lighting inside the guild was still in its initial pass. It was way incorrectly setup and I took the time to fix it up! c:

For 0.7, a lot of animations are ready to go! I really wanna push the combat gameplay! c:

Also a neat animation of Alda opening a hefty door c:

A ton of my work has been to split up the very lengthy audiofiles from the voice actresses on a per-line basis.Here you can see some of what that looks like in practice:

In the past, to make expressions, we had to control every muscle of the face individually. That was super annoying and I don’t know why it took me so long to, but I finally implemented preset mixable expressions! c:

A few animations had to be re-fitted to fit the voice acting, so here’s some final footage from the final shots of the femboy scene! c:

Besides all this, there is a ton of bugfixing going on and I’m releasing builds for the $25 patrons to check out c:

Thank you for attending the vigil, it would not be the same without thy presence.
