Hairstyle Options Showcase and Next Brainstorm Session (Patreon)

Hello, hope the weekend is going well!

As we've talked about last week, we've been working a lot on improving our hair mechanics, and this week we have finally reached a point where we felt comfortable developing hair sprites following our new system. So let's talk a bit about them!

💆🏻 Hairstyle Options Showcase 💆🏻

On our new hairstyle settings players will be able to select between four different hairstyle categories:

- Front: Bangs plus forward-most side hair pieces;
- Side: Additional side hair pieces not connected to any specific front hairstyle;
- Back: Back hair pieces.
- Top: Optional top hair pieces.

This system should be comprehensive enough to fit any hairstyle we would ever want to implement, and should be flexible enough for modders as well. Once people start importing their own art into the game we will most definitely have unforeseen edge cases that will need some adjustment here and there, but as you can see in the samples below we are currently able to fit a wide range of options already!

Ideally we should be able to develop a similar system for other art assets to help people import their own sprites into the game when the time comes. This is now something we always have in mind when developing new art assets, to have a strong, flexible base that would allow modders to simply replace our sprites with theirs and have it working in the game in no time. We understand a lot of people want to build their waifus here and we are doing our best to meet that goal!

💡️ Next Brainstorm Session: Personalities 💡

For this month we are putting up a new Brainstorming Session on our Reddit, this time with the topic of Personalities! As you know, at this point we have implemented four personalities so far (Soulmate, Ecchi, Yandere and Tsundere), with an Ara ara one on its way, and we would love to know what other character types you would like to see coming to the game, as they will affect other game mechanics in the future like moods for example.

So if you are interested in the discussion, please hop into our reddit post and let us hear your thoughts, or you can simply add your comments to this post as well!

🌾 So! 🌾

As always feel free to message us if there is anything you would like to see added to Lust's Cupid, and we are always open to hear your opinions about the game as well.

Thanks for joining us this week, talk to you soon!
