School of Lust v0.3.3 Progress Report #5 (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone!
It's been two weeks already since our last progress report (time flies when you're busy!), so we'd like to take this opportunity to update on what we've been up to.
As we explained in our previous post, we've had issues with the animator we hired, which delayed the release of the update. Right now, I (Lawina) am still finishing the animated scenes from scratch, although I can't fully commit to it, as I have other parts of the update to work on as well. However, the two most complex animations are now fully ready and the scenes implemented.
We've also been working on updating the animation software, which required substantial adjustments to the game engine. This will allow us to use the more recent animation technology, which comes with many new features. While these changes won't affect the gameplay in the upcoming update (although, performance might have increased, as we're using a new SDK), it mainly affects development, allowing us to create animations more efficiently. We will convert the existing animations to the new format as well in the future (especially if the in-game performance of the animations have been improved).
In the upcoming update, you will be able to access the City map. We initially wanted to split the new City map into several areas, but after some testing, we changed our mind, and merged it together into one City. The City is now quite a bit smaller, but it allows us to focus on each individual building instead. The City map also has an interesting fair going on. Here's one of the activities you can do at the fair (which will especially be interesting to visit after taking over the body of one of the girls):
Last, but not least, we've got another animated scene in the works of Scarlett. Here's the sketch, for those of you who like to get spoiled:
We're doing our very best to release everything before the end of the month. If we can't implement all the animations in time, we will try to release a part of the update instead, so we won't make you wait any longer.
Thank you your patience, and as always, thank you for your support! Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions, suggestions or comments.
Cheers =)
