TLB 0.8 - The Queen of the chains (Patreon)
Content
I worked hard for the last few months and finally I decided to go on a short vacation trip.
I have spent a couple of sleepless nights to be in time with everything before leaving, to bring you Cultist, Priest and Demon releases at the same time.
As I said, it’s hard to do everything that is planned in one month, so many things will be finished in the upcoming releases, but here is a list of changes and additions.
What's new?
New location - The Arena of Arknam.
In my humble opinion, it looks a bit unfinished, but I need a platform to test animations of new combat features.
Also It was the only one unaccessible location that was needed to close the narration gap.
New fighting styles
In the Arena location, Barbarian can fight with bare hands, axes, sword and shield.
I have a plan to add a bow with arrows, two-handed sword and spear. I continue to work on these animations.
At the moment these combat styles don’t affect damage parameter and blocking, cause I was working on the animation controller, so this will be done in future releases.
After testing the combat controller will be updated for the whole game.
New characters
A Doctor - Manual therapist who may heal you with pleasure
Helen - She is an actress, a former slave and member of barbarian tribe.
The Champion - he is the leader of the slave rebellion. He is big, strong and stupid.
A Blacksmith - he will help you to choose weapons before the battle
Tattoos
After passing some plot scenes, tattoos will appear on the barbarian skin. It’s something like achievements.
At the moment they can be added or removed by Helen.
You will be able to disable it btw.
New approach for sex animations.
I think it annoys when you see a simple repeating animation consisting of 30 frames.
I found a new approach that allows me to customize sex animations, make them more live, varied and realistic. The movement of individual parts of the body is changing, as micro facial expression and eye movement. Pay attention to this.
Existing animations will be rebuilt with the same approach.
Talking and character eye tracking
You may have noticed that all conversations with NPCs look like the characters simply stood against each other and do nothing.
In this location when someone talks to Barbarian, he will look at Barbarian and he will move as if they were having a live conversation.
In future I want to add facial expressions animations.
Minor updates and bug fixes:
- The Barbarian model is updated for correct emotion expressions.
-“Wide open mouth” bug is fixed for the “screaming animation”
- The skin shader is updated to display skin details in all scenes.
- Three new costumes added
- Fast travel menu is available for all locations
- Fixed bug with throwing character out of Hell after death
What will I do next?
- All old game animations will be reworked.
- Combat system after testing at Arena will be reworked as well
- SFX, Music and Voice updates (I’m looking for VA)
- I will solve texture atlas problem (I’m talking about visible seams)
- The new camera system will be implemented for the whole game.
- Clothes and hair dresses are the big problem for the game performance, but I am working on solution.
- New content
- Interactive cum fx for all scenes

P.P.S I didn't add all sounds to new location, cause I'm looking now for new VA and SFX packs. Please, don't be upset. I'm sure, you will love new voices when it will be done.
