Finishing Week 2 Headpats, Beginning Week 3: Hugging (Patreon)

Recently I worked on the headpat expansion for week 2. Here are the new changes:

You can now tell your loli to just sit down on the floor without triggering the chopsticks game every time. Just sit down on the floor and tell her to come here. She will also stand up depending on if you are standing up.

You can now headpat her in this state if you want.

I still need to disable body rotations in this state as you can see she can rotate her whole body. But regardless it's fully functional like when she is standing up. You can of course make her angry:

This means she also has angry mood states in this body state as well. You can keep headpatting her to make her happy like usual which brings me to another change. For a long time making her happy through headpats had a 50/50 chance of success but this proved to be kind of annoying because sometimes bad luck will make it take a long time to work. Therefore headpatting will now always work the first time and any time after that it will work 75% of the time.

On a different note, the game launcher's window art is almost done. Here is the first draft:

This is Merida. She will be the official 100% original character of the game and will be available as a character card later when the 3D model is ready. The game launcher will make it easier to download updates and betas for the game. Going to try to release the launcher this weekend.

As for week 3, hugging will now be implemented.

This might be an interesting problem to solve because I'm going to have to simulate hugging. It's not as easy as it sounds because in VR there are no physical bodies to stop you from phasing through anything as you hug something. You also don't have a body in the game! I've been asked before if I would ever do arms or a body and I said that there are implications to having that sort of feature. For now we are going to make do with just hands. I haven't thought it through entirely yet but I think it will work like this:

1.) Wrapping hands around loli will trigger hugging

2.) During hugging phase you can "pick up" the loli to make it seem like you are grabbing her with your arms.

3.) Add some cute animations

4.) Release hands and resume the game

What I am most worried about is collisions for the head while hugging. Clipping into the loli will be the biggest obstacle when implementing this but I have a few solutions. So stay tuned!
