Development Report 11/12/2018 (public) (Patreon)

Hi everyone!

New public Dev Report here!

Project Cancellation! ... ???

OK, people, just calm down... the title is just a small part from a lot of some nonsense stuff the we have been reading lately about us and our projects especially about Bioasshard.

So, throughout this and future posts, we will try to clarify these misunderstandings or dismount these lies.

The first stupid thing we've found is people saying the Bioasshard is cancelled... well as you can see the project isn't cancelled, those are simple hoaxes spreaded by certain people who don't have access to posts for patrons (in which we talk about the development progress) and need a new version of Bioasshard, desperately. Cause, yeah, they're only interested in this project.

Another thing I want to add about this is, if, for whatever reason, we're forced to cancel ANY of our projects we will announce it here for everyone, clearly, so nobody can have doubts. We're not going to to run with the money ... (well we don't even have a 'money' to run with hahahaha)

Waifustream

For people interested on Waifustream that doesn't are on Discord we have some new info for you:

We have a logo:

You can see more info about this and also some info on the status of Waifustream, on the WS Tumblr: waifustream(dot)tumblr(dot)com

Punished Mai Walkthrough

Well I started to play the game again and also looking on the project files in order to write the walkthrough. I'm just at the begginning of chapter 1 but hope to make some interesting progress during this week.

The Future of Punished Mai Universe

Ummm... Lots of things happened lately...

I'm very excited about all of this stuff and the course of this project but...

It's too soon and I don't want to spoil anything ^^

It's NOT our fault

Well another of the shitty stuff like I mentioned above on the post: This time is some kind of 'confrontation' we had on our Discord server some days ago, specifically the day we published the Waifustream logo.

There was an user who seemed not to agree with the fact that we shared the link to the Waifustream logo using the @everyone tag. Someting we always do with the important posts on our projects.

This user not only disrespected us and our projects but also spoke for everyone (something like a superior being huh?) saying that all or almost all users on the server are there only for Bioasshard.

I have 2 thing to clarify about this:

1-We already know that a lot of people came for Bioasshard but there are also other people interested on our other projects. Hell, even some of the people in there aren't interested on Bioasshard at all but in some others.

2-We're devs/artists with various projects in progress and as such, we must promote all of them and not only the one that already has more followers or is better known or your favourite one. ALL OF THEM. So as the title said it's not our fault. It's nor our fault if you're only interested only in one of our projects.

Meguido here to tell the same words I told that user: "If any user has any problem with the way things are posted in our Discord, the solution is pretty easy and it's not a door pretty far from a couple clicks"

Bioasshard

Let's go:

New Character

Well as noone has said a thing about it after the Bioasshard Secret Files comic release I'm going to comfirm it here.

The girl, main character of the comic, the one that looks like Rebecca ^^ will be a playable character on Bioasshard. (on the main game not on the Arena)

So rejoice Rebecca Fans :)

Confirmed Characters until now: Jill, Chris and Rebecca.

The Man is Back!

I mean... Meguido is here with some hot info:

Hello everyone!

Well in the latest weeks I've been working a lot on the new implementations to the movement system. Fixing a lot of problems with the animations for the new Jill. Basically what worked for the old one, gave a lot of clipping issues for the new one, so had to work on more than 200 animations (Yeah, I didn't notice we had so many animations already in the project lol).

After fixing them, I had to reimport & reimplement them in the new animation blueprint.

One thing to note is that we're getting rid of root motion, so everything should be smoother now in terms of animation transitions. This said, don't expect perfect animations tho, because we're not animators lol.

With that done, everything in terms of animations is fully working now with the new Jill (until now I couldn't jump up or down, climb ladders or even equip a weapong from the menu, because of the animations still pointing the old Jill, but not anymore). Meaning I can play through the entire level once again.

So went to other stuff like upgrading all the UI as you could see from the latest ScreenshotSaturday and this screen below where you can see the new look of the inventory as well as some other stuff we've been working on... (did you notice the camera btw? xD).

The other system that we implemented is the crosshairs. Yeah, it was getting really hard to make the animation aim to the center of the screen without an IK system for the hands (like the expensive ikinema one) so we decided to get rid of the laser sight system and put a crosshairs system in its place.

Now onto an important thing. About the two past ScreenshotSaturday posted (the one with Jill walking on the new area and the one with her aiming with the gun showing the crosshairs system in place). Are they really that dark? I mean, I can see them perfectly on my PC but then MrVersus X told me they're almost black for him. Also mentioned me that some people are reporting the same on discord. So I was wondering if that's a real problem for everyone and I'm the only one seeing them like a day-scene. My PC monitor is on its default values and the driver custom image configurator panel shows the brightness on default value as well: 50%. So that's the point for this poll, to let us know if you can or can't see the latest 2 ScreenshotSaturday pics.

That's all for now from me. Thank you for your patience and for being there :D

New Poll: Are the screenshots above really that dark for you?

As Meguido said, we need to know this, so vote on the poll, please.

Character Names

OK we need your help here.

In order to avoid as much as possible the infamous C&D letter we're taking several measures and one of them is to change the character names.

And this is a really difficult task ^^

So we're requesting your help here: suggest (parody)names for the characters, no matter if the character is already talked for the game (Jill, Rebecca and Chris) or not (Leon, Ada, etc) basically because we won't spoil the game characters yet xD.

Just put the real name and the parody name/s at his side. It can be serious or funny names(but not too stupid). Put it on the comments below or in the discord server.

If we get enough names we'll do some polls for patrons to decide the final names.

Nunca te abandonaré

Nunca te fallaré

Well I think that's all for today, don't forget to vote and to suggest names.
