Hello everybody. I apologize for the lack of news these months. I  want to explain in detail in the future, but for now, I'm going to copy  and paste what I wrote in f95zone because I won't be able to explain it  any better.


"I was trying to develop the game's editing tools at  the same time as I was creating the game, which is like trying to cross a  bridge at the same time as you're building it.

So after  finishing the scenes of chapter 3 and realizing that a lot wasn't  working I decided to finish building the bridge, including demolishing  some sections to rebuild.

So the bridge is complete and I started to cross it again."

This  video shows important elements that were implemented in the visual of  the characters. At first glance, it doesn't look impressive, but you'll have  to believe me.

First, the characters no longer need a lot of  light care to be presentable, and you would only know how much of an  achievement this is if you knew the work I had before to position the  lighting in each take of the game. Note the outlines, what do you think?

Another  cool thing is that the expressions, the gaze direction, and even the  blinking of the eyes are entirely procedural, which means that there is  no pre-programmed animation of these movements. The result is characters  that are much more alive and attractive.

I'm going to show  little by little the improvements that were included. I know it's not  what you want to see, but I need you to know that I'm working on it.

I  apologize again, I will strive to earn the support you continue to give  me even in the face of such a lack on my part. Thank you so much!

More than half a year and not even a "MEEP". I wouldn't mind senseless status reports. Just to be sure that you are still alive. BUT not even a "MOOP" :(

I apologize most sincerely. The project is up and running, but I'm trying to restructure myself to get my routine back to normal before returning to posting regularly. I know I'm doing it wrong and should let you guys know more about how things are going, but at the moment it gives me a lot of anxiety. I promise that when things are back to normal I will keep you posted, but at the moment, writing a text explaining my difficulties is more mentally exhausting than working to resolve my situation. What I can say is that a single bug has me stuck on another project that I need to finish before I can focus exclusively on S4H, and I'm working exhaustively to resolve it.
