Finishing Week 3-4 Part 2: Loli Employment (Patreon)

I have added more logic and animations to the loli's social link system so there is more variation and so it looks like they converse together. There are a few new animations. The most important one is the new "social1" animation which will play when they stop to talk to other lolis:

They make idle sounds but it just looks like they are talking (especially from far away). They will take turns listening to each other in a random fashion. This is the new listening animation:

An interesting thing about implementing these animations is that I always have to check if the animation would be suitable while they hold an item. See, as the loli plays the listening animation, she puts her hand on her chin like if she is attentively listening. If she was holding an item with her right hand, it would look kinda weird because her left hand is supposed to prop up her right hand for the chin. So some animations will only fire in certain scenarios so things don't look awkward.

I got a ton of work done with the market. There are several new props and I am in the process of putting it all together. The light is dim because I'm not finished lighting the scene up:

The purpose of the market as I've said before will be to assign actual things to do for the lolis. In this instance some will sell you food. This selling system is not going to be in the next beta because I haven't even started it yet but it will be made briefly right before the swimming update. It's going to be very simple. No economy. Yet at least.

The market is going to be very comfy and it will feel almost like a flea market:

Because I'm going to require a bit of time to implement the selling system, I have wedged in a couple weeks for extended development before the swimming update. This time will ensure I am not rushing the development of the game. As I've said before, deadlines make me work faster but they are often moved to accommodate for development bumps. The next Beta for Supporters is still going to be released by the next devpost so don't worry. This will be a very experimental beta but there will be some new fun stuff to try out including everything seen so far.

Stay tuned!
