0.6.0 around the corner (Patreon)

First of all, pardon the long silence. We know we've been very quiet lately. Part of that is because Dragoness has been far more challenging than we first anticipated. This is mostly because of the wings, that have introduced a lot of problems we haven't dealt with previously. Not only in designing the them, but also how to execute them from a technical standpoint. New obstacles would appear constantly during the development of her. Making everything fit together [somewhat] seamlessly has been hard.

In addition to that, Dragoness has been very much back and forth in general, with us never feeling 100% satisfied and constantly changing things about her. We both wanted her to be a step-up from what we have done up to this point, a creator-driven and technically advanced character that both of us feel really happy and content with.

But all this said... we feel we're starting to get close to the finish line. We have a game ready mesh asset, and all that remains is basically "just" finalize texturing and blend shape work.

Here's some images for you

Getting the wings to play perfectly with skinning so there wouldn't be any gaps during deformation has been tricky.

Here's the same asset but without the wings (wings will be optional)

Other stuff

We have also been busy developing other things. The theme for 0.6 will circle around BDSM to some extent, so we thought it would be only fitting to add props for this.

A cool improvement in 0.6.0 is that the parenting behavior has been abstracted and thus can now be utilized by props. So these can be parented to characters.

New Map

Pegashis has been busy creating a new map that will come with 0.6.0. With a Dragoness and Dragon being our next characters, we thought a medieval fantasy inspired map would be fitting.

We’re not 100% sure when 0.6.0 will be released, but it’s getting very close. We have an internal date to try and finalize everything by the end of the week, but we can’t promise anything yet as there may still be unexpected issues lurking around.
