MNL Progress Report #67 (Patreon)

Hey there, nudies! Big milestone today, as we've now finished and imported our first big explorable area which also happens to be our LAST area for the demo! All the demo-related environments are accounted for, including two new areas that weren't in the original demo plan! That's right, we expanded the demo! Since some stuff took much longer than expected, we used that extra time to get more areas finished.  You'll have more places to be naked at now!

Since Amber's model has gotten an upgrade, many of her old unique animations don't quite work anymore. AT has begun redoing those animations, with really impressive results already~

I think this here alone really sells exactly why this upgrade was worth the wait. We have so much more control, so many more options on how to animate Amber. Her face has a wider range of expressions, her bones are redone so that things don't bend quite so awkwardly, her hair sways more, and even her antenna can now be just as animated as she is! And of course, her chest got a bit of an upgrade, too. Not that bigger is necessarily better, but we wanted to make her breasts a little larger specifically so that they can play a prominent part in her animations. Like in this animation, her arms press against them and end up squeezing her boobs together. It's a nice effect, right? Things like these really highlight Amber's nakedness. Wait until you see what else we can do~

With all the modeling, rigging, and area importing done, we're now assembling all of our art and sound files to be imported in. It's finally, FINALLY time to start building cutscenes and menus! We've streamlined our cutscene production significantly since our time working in Unity, so we expect things to go waaaay faster this time around. Hell, all of our demo-related story art is already complete, so all we have to worry about is dialogue importing, animation triggering, and camera placement! The team and I want to make a big push this month now that we're past health and technical issues, so it's pedal to the metal now! THIS TIME FOR REAL, expect to see some cool stuff within the next few weeks!

That's all for now! See you next week!
