⚓ Booty Hunter – Devlog #13 – Weekly Update (Animation Progress, 3D Ship & Curves Rebalance)

Hey everyone!
This week was a bit slower than I expected in terms of animation reworks — not because of time, but honestly, because working on animations takes a huge mental toll on me.

I don’t really enjoy doing them, and they take a long time to complete. Every time I finish one, my brain just wants to close the studio and not open it again for a while, lol.

🎬 Animation Progress

To give you some context — something like a handjob animation isn’t just one animation. It’s actually four stages: idle, slow, fast, and cum.
Some of these can be reused between variations, but in most cases, I have to rebuild each stage from scratch, creating a whole new timeline every time.

So yeah… it’s a lot.
But even with that, I managed to finish three new animations this week.

I didn’t manage to finish everything yet, but I’m happy with the progress overall.

🚢 3D Ship – A Big Step Forward

Remember how I mentioned that the current ship model is from a third party and limits what I can do?

Well, I finally decided to start learning 3D modeling and modding tools for Koikatsu, and… I actually managed to create a functional ship inside the studio!

It still needs some polish — like fixing colors and making a few scenery elements interactable — but this is already a huge step forward for future updates.

This new model will give me much more creative control and freedom to make the ship experience feel truly your own.

🍑 Curves Rebalance (Yeah, You Read That Right)

Okay, so… I noticed some people commenting that the girls’ butts were too small — and after checking, I had to agree. Especially on the crewmates, things were looking a bit “flat”.

So I made some adjustments. Let’s just say things are now better balanced.
I’ll leave a poll for you all to decide if you prefer the new proportions or want to keep the old ones.

(P.S. I had to find new shorts for Kuina… her “new weapon” was a bit too much for the old ones to handle. 😂)

🔜 What’s Next

For next week, I’ll focus on:

• Finishing the remaining animation reworks

• Sharing updates on the ship upgrade system

• Preparing the next post about the release date for version 0.11, which should arrive before Halloween 🎃

Thanks again for following along and for all the support you keep giving this project.
We’re getting really close to 0.11 now — I’m as anxious as you are to finally share it with everyone.

See you next week,
– Alley ❤️
