Quick game update and preview animation
🕑 Added 2020-08-27 23:41:55 +0000 UTCWe're almost there! I have about 80 - 90% of the still images rendered, post processed and ready to go, this includes all the animations that are layered still images and moved like the blanket throw animation I uploaded months ago. Even though technically these are animations, I'm counting these as still renders. When I count animations they'll be actual rigged model animations like this image above.
I have about 50% of animations rendered but this is only because I'm working in stages and have saved the animation rendering until last. I'll knock out the other 50% in no time as those scenes are basically already built anyway. I do still need to post process the animations though so any that you've seen so far will most likely look a little more polished in the game.
I'm really starting to get the hang of blender and its animation process, there's no way I would have been able to create this particular movement as fluid as this in Daz without days or even weeks of frustration with its broken animation tools (ie: completely fucked IK solving). Combine this with what I'm learning in compositing software "Nuke" and also starting to learn "Houdini", I'm excited about the future animations I'll be able to create for the game. It'll mean higher quality and a faster workflow all around.

Thanks man! That's Roller Girl, or Brielle from the "Hotdog Hunting" mini comic but she might have a different name in the game.

Really smooth animation DA!. This is gonna be good. Question: Is this girl a new character?
Then it seems I have nothing to worry about! :p Haha, Jokes aside, I know what you mean though, even the best games get criticism but remember, its always the most unhappy who will be the most vocal. 100 people can go to a restaurant and 99 of them have the best meal of their life yet won't think to leave a review, but that 1 person who is unhappy with their meal will most likely be the only person to leave a review and a negative one at that. Same goes for f95 or any game review site. What will be important to me is level of support and comments/suggestions from Patrons, that'll be the true judge of success or failure. I've seen many instances where a game is trashed to hell on f95 or elsewhere for one of those reasons you've mentioned or something else but when you see the game dev's patreon or discord its a completely different story so they're obviously doing something their Patrons are happy with and that's what matters. 90% of people on f95 are great and understand the process of making these games, its just unfortunate the 10% that complain about everything are just unhappy in general and will complain about anything for the sake of it (even when its free! lol) .But that won't be my concern. You guys, my Patrons will be my concern and who I listen to :)

Generally they'll find something. Like how often you release updates, the amount of content in any given update, there'll be some who nitpick quality. And a majority of the criticism will come from those who won't pledge a dime...
Thanks man! What negativity do you think might arise? They don't like non-incest games or something else?

I wish you luck on the game. Just hope you don't get discouraged of all the negativity you'll eventually get from f95 pirates... those guys there....
