Character Creator: New Features + Build News

Hey lewd comrades,

Build is coming along nicely, I've been making some additions to the character creator to extend the range of face types possible. I felt like the makeup system was severely limited before, and I kinda messed up by programming it to be more rigid than it should have been. So I overhauled it to make it possible to individually select Eye Shadow, Blusher, Lips, and also added a new Brows option.

In the release, there is a few different options to select from for each, but more importantly it's super easy for me to add more makeup types in now, so in improving the werkflow for adding new styles, I'll probably throw in several new ones for each new release. Also considering player-importable makeup masks but gotta think of the best way to do this.

I'll also be adding in makeup designed after the most popular female game charas, for people to make characters eventually looking close to their fave vidya babes, for example, the classic D.Va cheek accents.

Make makeup reqs on the Disco and I'll prob add them!

Also along with general proportions of facial components, there is a new option for Noses and Lip shapes, which I'll probably extend to Ears, Eyes, etc. Players can choose their lip or nose type from a drop down menu, and change the strength of that morph to blend it in. Top and bottom lips can now also be controlled woop woop.

Additionally, different eyeballs can now be selected. There's a surprisingly small amount of variation among human eyeballs sadly, so mostly these eyeballs will be fantasy eyes for use with cosplay or fantasy charactes. The header pic is an example of one of these where she has Android eyes, and more will be revealed in October where I plan to do a Halloween themed content release. Eyeballs can ofc be changed individually for each eye, because I'm a fan of that type of shit.

There is a new Jaw Strength slider, which allows peeps to make the jawline sharper or softer, this compliments the other Jaw Proportion controls quite well IMO. Allows a bit more fine tuning to the overall face shape.

There is also a calves size section in the body proportions, calves can be scaled on all 3 axis individually. The header pic is an example of the thick calves that are now possible, for peeps who have the Extend Slider Ranges cheat enabled as talked about in one of the prev posts, they can be pushed even thicker to create chara with a bit more fantastical proportions.

I've begun package tests and will be starting internal tests on Discord today or tomorrow! If all goes well the next build release will be here by the end of Sept, the build is already relatively stable and I can't imagine there will be 4 days worth of problems to fix, but ya know.

Peace out lewders and come join the Discord if you're not there already.

Plans for September! >:)

I'm aiming for a build release this month, I'm trying out something I've not done before (environments as separate add-ons - more at the end) and I don't know how smoothly it will go so bear with me. There will be a few key new things in the build, primarily the near-final voice profiles & erotic vocalization system.

I've been working on this for a while and think it's finally getting to a good place, and it's what I envisioned for the project from quite early on. The core concept is that characters' behavior (breathing, body language, vocalizations etc) should be driven by "how they're feeling". The most important of those driver params for an ero game is probably horniness / arousal / pleasure, and the most important driven results are probably vocalization & facial expressions.

To that end I've been working with VA's to build a dynamic system of lewd girl noises. Using over 100 individual recordings of gasps, moans, screams of varying intensity, characters' breathing & facial expressions will change depending on how aroused they are / how much pleasure they're feeling.

There is a NSFW video clip on redgifs.com & on my Twitter of a demonstration of this system.

I've tried to make this system look & feel as natural as possible, while being fully dynamic. The erotic vocal samples are selected semi-randomly so the system should rarely play the same sample twice in a short period of time, and vocal samples are organized into 6 levels of arousal, so the amount of pleasure she's feeling should be easy for a player to determine even with no UI elements to tell you.

In the next build there will be 5 "characters" (Profiles) to choose from for the vocalizations, from 3 different VA's so far. In total there are over 700 vocal samples, with each Profile having around 150 samples. This took a while to build and erotic vocal samples is obviously something I can't do myself, hehe, so it was also something of an expensive endeavour. I hope it will be well worth it, and I'll be improving the system and adding more profiles over time.

New builds will also contain a bonus feature (undecided of which support tier yet) which allows players to unlock slider ranges in the Character Creator. A checkbox can be unlocked which will extend every slider by double its initial range. Obviously, this will allow some real fucked up grills to be created, but it's been requested by more than a few people and from a dev perspective it actually is helpful as a debugging tool to test ranges, so I figured I'd offer it if people would like to play with less limits.

When unlocked, sliders will show the extended part in a darker tone, to make it clear what the original boundaries were.

Speaking of Character Creator, I've added a new Brow section since I realized it was sorely missing. Brows vary a ton among people so it should help create a bit more variety in the created characters now. Brows can be moved on all axis, and rotated and scaled too, to create some different shaped eye brows and change the prominence of the brow itself.

The keen eyed among u peeps will have noticed the header images and video clip contain a lush little beach type environment. This, along with the Subway car in the previous post, is a planned new selectable environment for certain undecided Patreon tiers, but they will be distributed as packs separate from the main game.

I'm trying to learn how to package and distro DLC packs since it's an awesome way to divide content, keep the package size of the main game lower, and eventually do bundles and sales and promo etc.

I haven't got any experience in this so there may be some teething problems, but if all goes well the Sept builds should contain these two shiny new enviros.

As a side note, I'm sure everyone's super pumped about the RTX 3000 series announcement. I've added raytracing to my to-research list as a potential graphical option for people with RTX!
