Exclusive dev update of No escape: Game edition! (396) (Pixiv Fanbox)

Evening folks, Scriptor here with the latest dev news!

Sorry about missing the dev update last Sunday (and last week); my aunt had a bit of a tumble (which we had to take care of to the weekend). And during the weekend I had my birthday; which swallowed up all other time. Hit the big 30 last Saturday🎉 and though the party was small, it was a fun and nice one. 💯😎

And yes, there is a (small) bday surprise coming up for you all coming up tomorrow. >;3

Anyhow; onto the newssss!

Game development:

I’ve finished up the last bit for the operating boutique part of Prim’s bad end! It was again a bit of a messy/hectic week last week, but I managed to get the last shots done on Monday. I’ve also set up the epilogue scene that follows after (which sees Prim make ample use of her new ASSistant), and am currently in the process of rendering those shots out as well. If all goes according to plan, I should have all shots for Prim’s bad end done before Saturday comes knocking. 💪

After that it’s onto the other planned bad end for the upcoming build: Don’t want to spoil too much of that one yet, though I will say that it will serve as the bombastic finale to the combat path of the Blackmond Asylum...and maybe even to something more, though again I don’t want to spoil too much. Let’s just say I’ve got some interesting plans for it. ;3

Random Blender stuff:

And on the side-project side of things, I’ve been playing around in Blender again: Since last weekend was a busy one I took some time off (to celebrate my birthday and such). So no work was done on the BFF final chapter. Planning to continue work on it coming Sunday though! 💯

However I did feel like playing around a bit with Blender again (primarily for fun); and with a friendly poke from a pal of mine I took the dive back into Diffeomorphic. To keep things as simple as possible; Diffeomorphic is an (excellent) plugin for Blender/DAZ that allows one to export the models from DAZ to Blender. I’ve used the plugin in the past (a few years ago) but due to other projects and such I never really done much more with it, until last weekend. I have to say I’m pleasantly surprised with the latest version; it’s gotten very quick and responsive on the import part!

One thing lead to another (as things often do), and playing around with it all made me remember just how good Blender is at the things that it does. Especially generative and simulated effects/actions that are just not available inside DAZStudio (outside of still frames or work arounds). And so with a few Youtube tutorials and some ample imagination-

-we’ve got our first fully animated shiny rubber creep! Bit wonky, crude (and at some points even ugly), but in all honesty I’m just pleased that it even works at all. And that for a few hours spend in an afternoon (most of them figuring out how the wrestle/setup the geo-nodes required for it). Needless to say that it’s rekindled my enthusiasm for doing an animation in the near(ish) future for the side-project slot!

That said, I’ll first be completing the final chapter of the Best Friends Forever comic before (considering) diving into that. As I do want to see that side-project finished before I get lost in another (big) side-project. All good (and fun) things in due time as they say. :muscle:

Anyhow that’s enough about that, onto the teasers!

Teasers:

More teasers of the Primrose bad end today! With Kathleen’s appearance and demeanor now changed to Primrose’s liking, Kathleen is quickly shaping up into becoming a pretty ASSistant. Though she still lacks all the important skills such an attendant would need...outside of the ones that don’t require much thought. Luckily Prim’s got a handy machine that helps “ingraining” those skills right into Kathleen’s tiny brain, though it might have to push out some other stuff to make room for it... >;3

And that’s all for this one peeps, I’ll see you all at the next one this Sunday!

Greetz,

Scriptor
