Weekly report 203

Hi everybody.

I hope you've all had a great week! Here's a summary of our work last week:

Chestnut:

She worked primarily on creating artwork for the content that I had added to the game that was not in our earlier plans (there have been plenty of hands and a couple of new cutscenes that I added after she was done with her part). 

We posted a video from one of the new cutscenes here which shows Gomira naked on the MC's bed. The way I have posed Gomira in this scene, she's not naked (Spoiler: the MC and her don't have sex in this scene, but their conversations have implications that lead to the next sex scene in the update), but Chestnut said it'd be more sexy if Gomira takes her clothes off when sleeping (she's right). So, I will have to go back to this scene and adjust the text and the posing to account for the lack of clothing. 

This is basically how the polish phase works: I have added something while posing to improve the flow of the content, in her polish phase, Chestnut modifies her art to match and creates new art for the added material, then I go back and edit the text and the posing to match the changes in the art, and if I see it doesn't work, Chestnut will edit/create the art some more and so on until we're happy with the scene. 

I should probably have mentioned these in the video's own post, but I forgot, and I thought now that I too am going to start my polish phase, it'd be interesting to see an example of the developmental back-and-forth between the art and the writing/posing.

Pistachio:

I'm nearly done with all of the animations and their corresponding pre-sex and post-sex events. I know there are parts that need more work (some of the sex scenes require more build-up), but I'm going to leave those for after I have tested the whole update and got a better sense of the overall pacing. I'm not going to reach my goal of finishing the main content this month since I'm missing coding in some of the sex scenes and adding more sound effects to the game, but I'm close and overall happy with the work.

Next week's plan:

Chestnut is going to work on polishing her art and perhaps finishing the improvements of what's left from the first part of Gomira's first quest. 

I am going to try to code everything in (except avatars which I will do last) and start my own polish phase.

That's all, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Cheers
