Daily Update 8/19

So for today's daily update I think I quite a fair bit done. I got the entire new office entrance map built from scratch, and got all the required renders completed and added to the game. I wasn't really thinking about all the work that would need to be done be remaking the office entrance.
It meant I needed to remake all the renders for the tutorial, rewrite the tutorial, remake all the images that had the conversations with Sara and Ariel in the office, and all the alternate images for them as well. But that is all completed now. So for those of you that are keeping track for the goals of this update so you can visualize when it will be ready to come out. (I know there are quite a few of you out there now.) My goals checklist and what is currently holding things up.... Hmmm... thats not the right way to word that, it makes it sound bad. I don't want any hate or anything put toward the people that are helping me as they bust their asses at their IRL jobs, and college on top of helping me where they can. Which is why when it comes to Volg, they are not only doing a full Spanish translation of the game, but also making the entire main portion of the house re-work, while having a job and going to college. So I am willing to push back certain goals, to future updates to ensure they have enough time. Hagren is also working on a full Russian translation on top of writing the new story section, and we really need to get into a call and go over what we want the next section to cover so he knows what to write. Which I am hoping to get in a call with him today and go over that stuff. But yea here is my checklist for the Goals.


- New book page that shows amount of missions completed. - Done
- New way to start battles - Done
- Remove ability to fight bosses multiple times. - Done
- Add a new page for Hints system. - Done
- Completely remodel lobby of Merc Group. - Done
- Nanahoshi's story. - Not done, waiting on convo with Hagren
- Completely remodel the main home building. - Unknown status, need to convo with VolG
- Translations for Spanish and Russian will hopefully be ready by then. - Both translations are over halfway completed as far as I know.
- Remake the sex scenes in the Home, because Roxy and Sylphy have new models, and because the home remodel.
- Remake the Home Map screen to take into account the new home remodel.
- Make 1 new Position for each person currently living in the home
- Make 3 bathroom and 3 bedroom Positions for Nanahoshi.


Ok so here is what is holding me back for a fair bit of this stuff. It all comes down to the Home Remodel. Because the game has 1000+ animations already right? So remaking 1000+ animations will take me around a week of work, as you just saw from the latest Her Fall update, as that update had 1200 animations. I do not want to remake the animations for the new models, only to then need to remake them all AGAIN a month or 2 later/ Whenever the Home Map is complete. Which is why when I am able to talk to VolG I think I am going to have him make Rudeus's Room, and the bathroom maps first. Then take his time as long as he needs with the main part of the house.

Some frequently asked questions from when I talk to the community that I am sure more than a few of you have thought about after hearing this information.

Q. Well you just remade/made multiple maps from scratch, you remade the office room last update, the entrance to the office this update. Then you just made a few entire buildings from scratch on the latest Her Fall update. Why can't you make the maps since you can do it so fast.

A. I am building maps using the items set inside the CharaStudio. I have only ever made and imported 1 item from scratch using Blender, imported it to Unity, then converted it to a mod, and imported it into CharaStudio and that took me DAYS! It was the Aqua Heartia staff item. I could try to make the house but it wouldn't look anything like it did in the anime. I was able to make the tent from season 1 fairly close to the anime because its a fucking tent lol not that hard and CharaStudio had all the items for that. VolG is actually creating all the 3D Models from scratch for the house. I wouldn't even know where to begin for that, it is WAY above my head at the moment.


Q. Since you know Spanish and Google Translate is a thing, Why can't you just make the translations yourself?

A. For the Spanish translation I probably could, but as a native english speaker there would be grammar mistakes and words I don't know so it would probably not come out well. As for the Russian or any other language translations, I mean I could use DeepL/Google translate and finish any language you want in a couple of hours at most. But as someone that has played many of these games in English, it is VERY obvious when your reading the story when the author is a native speaker in whatever language your reading it. There are word choices and grammar or even jokes made that need to be rewritten to make more sense when your translating things to a different language. All the AI tools tend to make quite a few grammatical errors that annoy me, which is why I was not happy when I saw someone already used AI to translate both of my games into Spanish. As I was able to read through the translation and notice mistakes right away.

I do not like when things look unprofessional. I strive for perfection, even knowing it is not something I can achieve right now. I mean thats why things like clipping annoy the hell out of me, There have been dozens of positions that I had to go back and remake after I thought I was done just because I noticed ohh... shit his hand isn't touching there, or his dick is coming out of her stomach, or his hand is clipping into her side. Things that I didn't notice when I first recorded because I was only paying attention to the middle of the screen. Like hell in Her Falls latest orgy scene in some of the positions if you look in the background you can see the table is only a one way texture. That pissed me off when I saw it but I saw it too late (As the game was uploading) and wasn't going to go back, remake 200 animations, recompile, and reupload the game, but you better believe its already on my list for the first thing I am doing on my next Her Fall update.

So at this point I have to choose, either A. I can wait to hear back from everyone, or B I can move forward with getting animations for positions on my own, and push the house update till later.

Because on my end I am at a roadblock.


EDIT!!! Shit sorry I forgot I wanted to upload the images for the new office entrance lol....



Ohh.... Whos that? New Character!!!! This image is from right when you walk in.
 If you click the right arrow, there's the door to your office, with Sara chilling there.  Clicking the Left Arrow instead here is Ariel's new area. Clicking the Left Arrow from Ariel's area takes you to the door to Orsteds office(Don't really think his office needs a rework...Yet.)

 Also trying something new for when you highlight characters to click on them, let me know what you think, love it or hate it?
  Lastly we have the Conversation images with Sara and Ariel
