Hi and welcome back to another devlog!

First off i would like to express my thanks you to all players who tried the game and gave their feedback. It's a pleasure to see what you think about the game and the roadmap. I am even more motivated to work on this project!

Everything i'm going to show are screenshots from Blender because i'm still working on the new models and haven't really had time to touch the code of the game. I have been a little busy this week, so i primarely focused on the female model instead of implementing features or fixing issues.

Upgraded engine version

For those of you interested by this, i have been upgrading the project to the 4.3 of the Godot Engine. I guess it's the first time i mention the engine i'm using for the game, so those of you who knows must be happy. ;)

I believe a rendering issue you could have sometimes where you game was black and white with some sort of lines is now fixed. I haven't encountered the issue again so it's nice! :)

For Linux players, if you had dependencies issues, i believe this is due to the game being built on Arch Linux, since i am one myself, i will try for the next builds a new way to build the game with dependencies statically linked. If it doesn't work, i'll probably use CI/CD to build the project using Debian.

Facial expressions

Finally! As you can see in those examples Female characters can now do cute faces. These expressions are going to be shown depending on what the character is feeling. Your character will make an "focused" or angry face while struggling and if she is tired from her struggle she will make a somewhat sad face.

Improving character and restraints models

I realized that my character was too low-poly for what I needed, i made the mistake of optimizing the character too much without thinking about specific needs for this project.

So with my big brain and I decided to improve the character model by adding more polygons to avoid most of the issues i had before. Sadly this means that I need to redo almost all of the clothes since it won't be the same "quality" as the body and won't follow it properly and starts clipping.

Restraint: Blindfold

A first look at the cloth blindfold!

It's will only be visual for now. Later on it will alter your view like making the game black and white for example, if you haven't disabled it in the settings of course.

What about the next update ?

The next update for the game is the 0.1.2, which will be the first update for subscribers only.

And that is all for this week!  :)
