MNL Progress Report #106

Added 2024-11-25 06:43:53 +0000 UTC

Hey there, nudies! Posting kind of late. So late that you can see a full moon tonight! Heyoooo!

Yeah, so the big focus this week - skyboxes! We'd been using just a default Godot procedural skybox before, but we actually went and made a custom one using some gradients I whipped up and some clouds Leslie drew! Invertex thread them into Godot, adjusting the lighting and shadows, added some fog where needed, and voila! We've got time of day officially implemented!

I forget if I've mentioned before, but time of day basically works in chunks - morning, afternoon, evening, and night. Time only progresses if you do something that would take a long time to do in real-life - like doing a part-time job, reading a book, or even just sitting on the couch and playing video games for hours. Other things, like having a quick chat with a friend, playing with yourself in the park, or grabbing a cup of coffee won't pass time, so you're free to explore as much as you want!

And speaking of time... You may have noticed in some dialogue we've shown that Amber talks about being in Culo Culo Town before. It's a bit of a plot point that Amber's had some unclothed adventures five years back, but it's more background stuff than anything. The game itself is very focused on the now, so there's not much opportunity to really delve into Amber's previous summer breaks...

Or is there?

Bonus comics and pin ups are BACK! Now drawn by our new artist Anne, these monthly comics and pin ups will highlight Amber's wild, clothing-free summer vacation five years prior to MNL! $5 supporters get the comic (plus the previous Sweez-drawn comics), while $10 gets the comic AND pin up (plus the Sweez-drawn comics and pin ups, too!)! We'll be posting a new page and pin up each month to shed more light on Amber's previous adventure, and I'm sure you won't want to miss it! Look forward to them on Dec. 1st!

That's all for tonight, though! Thanks so much for your support, and see you next week!
