Battle UI Overhaul + New Animations + Mariel Scene Progress! 🔥


Heyo everyone! 👋
Just a short progress report:
This weekend I went a bit crazy and completely overhauled the dungeon defense and BattleUI.
The dungeon defense UI was getting cropped on some resolutions so that had to be fixed. While I was already in there I thought "hmm, why not improve the Battle UI too? Shouldn't take too long..."
Famous last words of a coder... 😅
In the end I pretty much had to redo the whole system to make it work the way I wanted. But I think it looks way better now. The old system felt way too complicated for an H game anyway, so I simplified it a lot.
The new system is now a real-time battle system. Position switching is gone. Instead lust animations are controlled via set filters, and you can now change those filters directly during the fight. Lust swaps work a bit differently too: depending on attraction there's now a chance the person you "bind to" will use her lust skill when you use combat skills. It feels much more similar to dungeon defense now, and you can still speed things up. Both systems have now an auto skill option too.
But wait, that's not all...
While I was deep in the code I figured "why not already add the attack animations for skills that I planned for later?" So... yeah, done.
Then when testing early fights I realized how bad the old static images looked during battles. Sooo I fully redid and animated all the default lust images as well.
The problem now is... the new default animations look way better than the "new old" ones 😂 It would feel like a downgrade once you unlock them.
So I changed it up: switching to the default clothes now also switches to the default animations.
At first I wanted to redo the current animations too, but I changed my mind. Some people might still prefer the old style, so I think it's better to add them as an alternative outfit set instead. Doing it for every outfit would explode my workload and the game size though, so I'm only planning to do it for one more set.
As I mentioned before, I'll start a poll soon where you can vote for the next outfit set to be added. Then I might either use that one for the lust animations, or do multiple polls per character so everyone gets 3 different lust attack variations to choose from.
Anyways, here's a preview of the battle + animation overhaul:
I know a lot of you are waiting for the Mariel sex scene and I'm still grinding as hard on it as the MC soon on Mariel. A ton of animations are already finished and it's shaping up to be the biggest H-scene we've had so far (around 200 animations split between the 3 MC variations, since Sable is involved too). Should be done mid to end of next week.
See you soon! 🔥
