Devlog (build 17) Lactation and piercing! (Patreon)

Yo! It's time to share news from this week. There were some problems and setbacks this time, but overall I'm happy with the result.

The week started with something happening to the engine, and it seems like it somehow lost its entire cache. In my case, this meant having to set up some parts of the game all over again. Usually this happens when the computer shuts down unexpectedly, but this time, for some reason, it just happened out of nowhere, right in the middle of development.

First of all, as I already wrote in the post for Deviants and above - I finally figured out how to make nipples work. So naturally, the first thing I did was add a lactation buff. At the moment, milk has no gameplay value and is purely a visual addition, but I plan to expand this feature. At the very least, we're going to need milking machines, right?

I also added 4 types of nipple piercings. At first, this gave me a bit of a headache. I wanted to give you as much flexibility as possible when customizing piercings, so that you could wear different ones or pierce only one nipple. On the other hand, I didn't want to overwhelm you with unnecessary complexity. So this is what I came up with: there are now 2 nipple accessory slots - left and right. You can use the piercings however you like.

At the moment, the piercings also don't work correctly if you've modified the nipple size. I'll fix this in the future.

I also added 4 separate small animations for equipping an item into the lower body and upper body slots, as well as unequipping them. This works for both NPCs and Lilrien.

After Build 16 was released, I received a large number of bug reports about the same issue: breast physics would break and the breasts would collapse. I couldn't figure out how to reproduce this bug until it randomly happened on its own. I got lucky, so I immediately dropped everything and tried to fix it. The problem was pretty complicated because somehow the Transform was getting a NaN value from god knows where, and that value would then get stuck there. But I think I've managed to fix the problem.

I also gave some of the traders schedules. Strange Trader only comes out at night, while the others only work during the day. With the exception of the Twins (they are mushrooms, after all), everyone now has their own schedule.

That's pretty much all the news for this week. You can find more information in the full changelog:

Main Changes:

Added nipple accessory slots.

Added Lactation buff.

Added 4 types of nipple piercings (8 items in total). For now, they are sold by Strange Trader and Seed Trader.

Some traders now only work at certain times of day.

The Credits button in the main menu has been replaced with a Changelog button, since there isn't really anything there yet. You can now check the changelog directly in the game.

Added upper body and lower body dressing and undressing animations for the player and NPCs.

Bug Fixes:

The breast physics issue that caused the breasts to behave erratically or disappear seems to be fixed.

Fixed an error that occurred when trying to put an item that isn't clothing into a clothing slot.

Fixed an issue where the Stop Follow button would appear when it shouldn't.

Fixed an issue where Stay Here button wouldn't appear when it should.

Fixed an issue that prevented NPCs from equipping shoes.

Thanks everyone for reading the post. And thank you all for your support <3Development continues, so stay tuned for more news.
