Continuing Bathing part 3 (Patreon)

I got a lot of work done in the past few days. I started getting into the meaty part of bathing code.

To start, I made lots of animations for Shinobu. She has 3 different responses to the temperature of the water. When the water is too hot:

When it's cold:

And when it's lukewarm:

These are the animations that branch off from last devpost's animated gif where she bends over to the tub. She will also tell you to get out after you have the appropriate water temperature.

These animations are subject to tweaking before the final implementation. I'm still not 100% satisfied with some subtle movements.

Pointing has been mostly finished and is working well so far. As described before, the user simply mouse clicks with an empty hand to point to something. If there is an object near the pointed direction, a blue highlight will appear and a command will be attempted (that is if Shinobu knows what that object is). Demonstration:

In this case Shinobu knows what a bathtub is. She will find the shortest path to the nearest edge of the tub to begin the bend over animation. I am still working on implementing them into her codebase.

For the pointing mechanism, It was an interesting problem finding objects in a general direction because pointing can mean a lot of things for objects. Is the player pointing at the floor or the item on the floor? There's lots of missing context so for now I tied it to objects only. To improve accuracy I added 6 additional random ray casts from the tip of the finger towards the direction. Thereby allowing some room for error so the player doesn't have to point to something with absolute accuracy.

One of the great things about hiring voice talent is that I was able to write down ahead of time lines that would be used for future animations. In this case I have a few "Get out" lines in Japanese which I have used for Shinobu. Since I can't show you the videos with sound in gif form, I have attached it to this devpost as an mp4.

By next devpost I will probably be working on interactive doors so you can provide the loli with some privacy to undress! Stay tuned.
