Hello!
This time around, I don't have any snarky prank to play into! I know I had a hilarious idea about turning the game into a Larry NTR spin-off, but I completely forgot what pun made it so funny so I gave up! Oops...

Thankfully, we are blessed (or cursed) with a double holiday - 

Cue the Vuvuzelas, thank you!

I guess I'll just do a public progress report instead ~

Since this is the public post, I don't get the benefit of surfing off the last post so easily...

The update currently features around 1800 renders across almost 50 new scenes!
I'll reserve the details to the previous Sloth posts since there's a lot of stuff to talk about, but here's what you can expect from these scenes:

In particular, the big focus I had since last report was on Myra...

Even though she isn't particularly important to the 0.5 overarching storyline, I always knew it would be absurd to not feature spicy scenes with her as soon as we got to the School.

My idea is - Any girl that's in school and had a development before this update will get a few new scenes. It's only right, eh?
There are a few surprises there that I won't spoil, so look forward to it ~

Overall, the render part of the update is almost over! I expect no more than 10 full scenes until it's all done, which I will then move to writing to cap it off.
After one extra Myra scene down to go, I will finally get to the big star of this update - Ms. Claire! As well as wrapping up other miscellaneous scenes, because who doesn't love that...

As usual, the scope of this one is a bit bigger than anticipated, granted it's meant to be a "sub-update"... But I'm really happy with the pacing this time around. The School was always going to be important, so going full extra is fun!

The usual refresher - Here are the future updates' plans:

0.5.1 - Chell (LVL 1), Ms. Claire (LVL 2), Photoshoot sessions with other girls
0.5.2 - Emily (LVL 1), Abbie (LVL 1), Some old posts being adapted as extra scenes
0.5.3 - Big story event!
0.5.4 - Subscriber's Extra Scenes ~

Excited to get this one out, as usual. You'll love it!

The winners for the FEATHERWEIGHT CATEGORY are...!

PENNY, ANNA AND ABBIE!
Which is funny, since these are the three girls I had in the free thumbnails for the post. Heh!

Sorry for taking so long to continue the ranking. I got caught up in making more scenes, and with this mandatory April Fools post looming over, it would feel awkward!

I'll probably resume the ranking tomorrow, as we get to the next category of titties -

THE JANE-DOES!

Coming soon!

I was chatting with my great friend, Ruykiru (Give his game a shot! We'll collab one day!!) about our usual HS2 nerd stuff, and we got hypnotized by a talented animator out there for his jiggle physics on the girls.

Not just boobs and butts, which are simulated by Honey Select already. The madman had every nook and cranny of fat for the girls jiggling according to the animation! Absolutely insane. You need to manually twist and shake each corresponding bone in the timeline to do that, in a convincing manner, to get such an effect. As Pareto says, 80% of the effort goes to 20% of the results! But are they ever so delectable...

So, I tried replicating this effect myself in a new animation exercise. This is certainly something I want to get right for the chubbier girls moving forward, so I should get started soon!!

The thigh jiggle is, in particular, very hard to get right. You need to get a convincing ripple effect according to the forces across several leg bones, all the while keeping it within the correct loop in the timeline. Definitely something to keep an eye on.
Though, the belly shake here is really good already, in my opinion. Even though it's cartoonishly exaggerated for me to actually see what I'm doing, I'm guessing this is the right track.

What do you think, hmm? Excited to get these looking perfect when the time comes ~
