[Experimental] Our Apartment 0.4.9: Progression Implemented, Story up to Act 4, New pose mode features, HDR support, SSGI, and more
Hey peeps, sorry I'm so late but the past month and a half has been hell. I've been trying to get a solid build since last month and there's just been tons of little issues preventing things.
Due to how long it's been since a build, this release will be permitted to be broader to all supporters.
So, lets get into everything...
What took so long?
Okay so while most of the issues weren't related to this a lot of it, at least the early stuff kinda was. In short, I decided I really wanted HDR support. While there's other stuff, that was the driving factor, and to get it I needed to upgrade Unity versions.
This wouldn't have been too bad of a decision if more other things were functional, but we'll get into that in a bit.
In short, the upgrade went smoothly, the problems were some issues with HDR. Some effects got broken, lighting needed to be re-baked, some UI stuff needed to change, and I encountered some weird issues which resulted in me needing to completely redo the settings UI. This was a lot of work, but what I really wasn't prepared for was what came after this.
Soft locks
Soft locks, soft locks, soft locks, it started small, then escalated. And these things are hard to test, they take time. Without the help of supporters and testers on the discord this would have taken MUCH longer. Cause you have to just play through the game to find out where these things can happen. And they can happen for a lot of reasons.
Besides that, there was a whole section of the code base I thought was working but turned out to be entirely bypassed. And once I realized that and edited things to fix it, I realized that system had a bunch of a problems on it's own.
Then somehow other issues occurred like saving somehow stopped being configured right. Like the game would load before the save data loaded. There's just so much where something was subtlety wrong. Relatively very little code issues, mostly configuration issues.
After all that came fixing some old known issues with make Act 4 functional, like fixing leveling, and preventing issues there.
Another consequence of the update is soon I will need to do major updates to Naomis uber shader.
Be Warned
I put in a ton of effort into this build but there's potentially soft locks or other issues. There's some issues that don't break things like how for some reason the game started doing scene changes before "blinking out" causing jarring visual changes to be visible. Not game breaking but it drives me nuts, will have to be fixed later...
Soft locks were discovered right up to the last build but I just have to be done...I need a break.
Changes
Now to outline the actual changes...
First time releasing the story broadly! Please forgive the place holder stuff...Proper characters and cinematics will come; the placeholder data basically ensures that stuff will implement seamlessly in the future. FEEDBACK IS APPRECIATED!
Some new cinematics in Act 0 and 1, but mainly a lot of place holder scene descriptions!
Initial progression systems! Activities selected in the afternoon or evening now affect character stats, these stats have some impacts currently but will have a lot more in the future. Stats dictate unlock of various content and events. Again much place holder is here.
Act 4 functional! You should be able to play from the start of the game to act 4, act 4 is what most people have been playing. This is where things like sex sim are unlocked. While what unlocks at this point will change in the future for now it's what you're familiar with.
Pose mode updates! Some new features like adjusting exposure, saturation, and other effects have been added! This is still experimental.
HDR Support! Initial HDR support has been added, it can be toggled and configured in the settings menu. Changes may require reloading the game or just waiting a bit playing the game. This is an initial implementation.
SSGI added! This can enhance the lighting in a lot of scenes, but comes at a performance cost, as such it's off at default.
Setting to unlock all outfits! This is cause progression is incomplete, recommended after reaching Act 4.
Various fixes to sex sim (still some issues tho)
Previews for new lewd activities! I've been silent about what kinds of things to expect but I decided to include previews in this build. These previews may include very little dialogue, and don't have visuals yet, and do not represent the final state at all. They also need to be unlocked. Features include foreplay & blow job training. Foreplay can be done at any time solo or right before sex sim (which will in the future add a buff). Blow job training will trigger automatically under certain conditions then be available from there, and perhaps randomly thereafter. More will be shown in due time as their concepts get more fleshed out.
Other place holder activities like Exercise, Cooking and more, these things affect stat prog
What's not included
New content besides the story is not included yet, that will be next build as I can be less concerned with basic functionality not working. After this build release, there will be some hot fixes to major issues but that's it, rest of the effort will be focused on adding new sex sim or other lewd scenes.
I also will be doing things like re-adding gropes to sex sim next build too.
I didn't have time to focus on character concepts but here's Danni!
Sadly, I haven't had much time to focus on finalizing character concepts, even Danni here I wouldn't call complete but here concept is more final than others like Jackson and especially martin. As such you'll see this sprite as a place holder in the game currently. But in the future she'll have a proper model as with other major characters.
And while Our Apartment isn't about her, doesn't mean I won't make lewds. ;)
I'll show more in due time...
SALES!
Our Apartment is in a bundle again! If you've been waiting for an opportunity to get Our Apartment on itch but need to use PayPal or something this is your chance!
I didn't say this earlier but this update WILL hit itch shortly! Meaning I need to type up a whole other post...AH!
Conclusion
That was a lot to go over, thanks for your support and please report any bugs (build will be posted right after this post).
Since I need to write a post for itch I'll cut this short, thanks for your support and patience again!
OH! And this build will be released on android as well! Not immediately but soon! Likely other platforms too. Expect it in a week or two since I expect many issues and I need to take a break first.
Hey peeps, sorry this update is late. Was waiting on some previews.
Today features some more work by Kekitopu (the wariza ones) and Warlord Rexx (Legs together), fyi due to the length of the loops I couldn't loop them perfectly)). There's still one more animator but their stuff isn't ready to show yet. Understand these animation sets are 17 animations EACH. It's a lot of work especially when hiring new people.
Additionally, I do go through and make some adjustments but that will mostly come later.
On my end I finish some work on the cinematics but then I realized I needed to do some preliminary work so the outfit content can be done. This process is slower than I remember 😩, but regardless it must be done. Basically, I need to export all the outfits and their undress states from marvelous designer.
Make adjustments if I see some issues with the design/setup
Adjust the UV's and polycount
Export
Adjust cloth sim for undress state (sometimes multiple)
Export
Import all the exports in blender
do a bunch of clean up shit (normals, polycount, etc), sometimes a little sometimes a lot
(Future) Make/Commission textures
(Future) Apply outfit to rig
(Future) Import into Unity
(Future) Configure into prefab structure
(Future) Configure cloth sim
(Future) Configure "Item" for database
Stuff marked "future" means it's not my task for now, I like to do things in bulk so I do part of the work for all 70+ items so that step goes by faster as I find a system for it.
But this gives you a full picture of the workload.
Other stuff
I also did some other more clerical work reorganizing and reworking some of the project files to make them more manageable. For example, Naomis main project file was like 1.5GB, which if I wanted to make small rigging changes or model adjustments those updates would take a long time to reach anyone else.
That project file contained all the current outfits and everything but animations, and it used to even include those. But thanks to blenders new library and linking functions a big file like that is no longer needed.
Now there's a lot less bloat and maintenance, and it also makes commissioning easier, more individual files to work with than single big ones.
Build Progress
As I've said before this is a period of working on content, though this month my publisher is pushing for a build for "insurance" and that build likely won't be public as that won't be its purpose.
You'll know we're working toward a proper build when you hear this content currently worked on is being implemented. I think the first milestone will be finishing prepping the outfit stuff. Then I'll bounce back to implementing cinematics while hopefully having someone working on textures and such. Then we'll start on that "future" stuff which will also be alongside finalizing and implementing the sex sim animations.
That will prompt initial builds with the content, then polish, probably an itch and android release, polish, polish, polish, polish...Steam release.
I hope that's a clear enough description.
Conclusion
I hope these previews are satisfactory. It will be the norm until implementation and I'm still having a hard time grasping exactly how long all this stuff will take. It depends on me, the people I hire, and other factors. And it's costing a lot of money.
As I said before he's not the only one doing animations and such. Thanks to the support of my publisher Critical Bliss, You, and the expected success of the steam release is funding this new content. I'll mention the other animators as their work is completed and shown.
Also as an FYI the animators are picking from a list of "high priority" positions selected based on your previous voting! The animators are just picking their favorites from that.
Also Sex Sim is not the only animations being made.
Mild Story Changes
As you guys might have noticed, I've been avoiding Act 4 and part of that is that that's when the game really opens up. It's going to take a lot of focus on its own.
But also, I wasn't 100% on the state of the story for Act 4. One thing that was planned is an unlock for a feature called "Going Out", Act 4 was basically supposed to conclude with that feature unlocked.
But this caused some problems. We know how sex sim unlocks. But how does dress up unlock? How does Naomi come to want to get into these various sometimes fantasy outfits.
There is a plot reason for this, but the order was a problem. It meant features people want the most from Our Apartment would take too long to unlock. And "Going Out" is a major update requiring a lot of new assets and locations.
So my current mentality is changing things up...
Instead of:
Act 4: Sex sim unlocked and various other events
Act 5: Going out unlocked and dressup
Now:
Act 4: Sex Sim unlocked and various other events
Act 5: Dress up and role play unlocked.
Act 6: Going out unlocked
This is to give us a bigger window between need to implement going out, while making sure at least dress up and associated features (role play) are accessible. This also makes Act 4 itself smaller, cause originally the plan was to kind of bloat it until the Going out stuff was added. But I always felt iffy about that.
You might also ask "wait sex sim unlocks before dress up?" And yeah, mechanically it makes sense as a progression element. Basically, now Naomi will automatically wear outfits based on the items you buy. And that will be how things work initially.
Then some things happen, and you'll be able to dress Naomi how you like before any events as things work currently. You go from doing sex sim with whatever Naomi's wearing, to being able to choose before doing sex sim or another event.
By that point the things you can do in the apartment are well established, and "going out" will be the next major feature.
This way the launch, which is currently planned to have up to Act 4 (With a temporary unlock of dress up until act 5 is released) can quickly be followed with Act 5 rather than wait for "going out" to be complete. So hopefully the content stream will be steady.
More soon!
There's a lot of asset stuff to do, and some things I STILL haven't revealed yet that I need to show. And we'll get there.
For now thanks for your support peeps, if you like the new content, please tell your buds and stuff to help me produce even more content! But honestly either way there will be a lot to show very soon.
Hey peeps, sorry I've been slow finish the update but I've been bug testing with people on the discord, the progression stuff just has the potential to break things A LOT. I had hoped to tell you about Hentai Expo AND an update but man all my goals just aren't happening lately.
Any way enjoy the live stream, a new trailer, and the bunch of other games on show here!
Also be sure to join their discord! Link is on the page!
Hey peeps so unfortunately despite not being in the worst areas affected by hurricane Ian, our house still lost power and hasn't had it since yesterday morning. It looks like it may still go on for a couple days cause it's something specific to us and a few other houses not the whole neighborhood. Supposedly a downed tree.
And still multiple traffic lights and certain areas around town are still without power, like traffic lights and such. So I assume the state will prioritize that for now.
So expect a delay on what I planned to update you guys with this month. I'm only capable of minimal work at the moment, and there was still much to do. Maybe I'll do a more scaled back version of what I planned.
Thankfully the temperature has been good, and we're grilling to cook for now :P. And I'm getting quality time with my steam deck which I just charge in the car from time to time. So it's not aweful.
Shamefully I must admit I've been so caught up in working on things I almost forgot until last night.
Thankfully a true bro JunkLewdKing posted some WIP fan art for the occasion and inadvertently reminded me! DX Be sure to give them a follow for having more awareness of these things than I the one who set this date does.
My excuse is I didn't grow up with birthdays as a thing :P.
But also I've been losing track of time this month in general, hell I didn't even make the monthly post yet! It's been a mess I tell ya.
Thankfully another bro, Arbuz also came through with some extra art! So the occasion isn't a complete bust. Just mostly T_T
Originally, I wanted a build release for the occasion, but there's just too much to do still. Sorry.
If you know anyone else who made fan art feel free to post it in the comments!
You're late! What's new?
Yeah, last month wasn't great progress wise, I took my PC in to get a hard drive and motherboard replacement and that about took up half the month (The mobo was overheating for some reason, turned out to be a faulty reading). So I was stuck on my laptop, and got some work done but slower than I would like.
Main work completed was a rework of the "VN Style Dialogue" with the aim of supported at least two characters. There's been a change where additional characters will be 3D instead of 2D for more consistency. We'll talk about that more when the time comes, I know I still haven't really shown designs or given profiles and that's cause I'm not 100% happy yet. I'll show them before the models are finished that's for sure.
Other work was mostly related to creating tools for the writer to help implement scenes.
Another major improvement was character instancing. In short because of the way cinematics work, using the same instance of Naomi across scenes is a problem. So instead the game will have an instance of Naomi (and other characters) per scene. These new instances will configure themselves to look like the old instance. From now you'll start seeing new scenes be implemented both for dialogue and other things!
This month
But while these updates are important, they're relatively small, but I think it was just enough for me to feel comfortable on multiple fronts. So much so I'm now panicking about assets!
And that's been all of this month so far. New assets, I hired an animator, and I'm doing a fuck ton of prep work for new content. This is for cinematics, sex sim, loops, outfits and more. It's all critical stuff.
There's a major poll coming soon where you'll be able to vote on what new content (that's not critical to story) gets created sooner! There's basically going to be multiple huge polls with an accompanying gallery of 20+ images per poll (Or maybe one insanely huge one I dunno). It's a lot of work, I aim to get it done with month cause the main reason for doing it is to make it easy to commission animations (If you're a blender animator feel free to contact me).
Other things like story boards are also in progress.
And the content isn't just for Naomi, new assets for male avatar are coming too! But they need refinement...
Conclusion
Sorry this is a short one, I really have work to do. But work is continuing, content details soon.
