Development Update 9.27.2023 (Patreon)

INTRO

Hello Friends!

It's been a busy couple of weeks for me, my workload is at maximum capacity.  I have been having issues with creating a build with Unity.  I was dealing with issues with Unity being unable to create a build at first.  After multiple tries and troubleshooting, I was able to get a build for Love X Lust.  Then I ran into another issue with my shaders showing all pink in each scene.  That set me back for a couple of days and I resolved that.  It was due to cloud shadows I recently implemented which gave my environment a more realistic look. Unfortunately, I'll have to disable this feature and revisit it with another update.

END OF UNITY?

I am sure you heard already, but recently Unity announced an Install fee that was going to charge the developer 20 cents for each install of their game which made a lot of developers upset.

The Unity development community boycotted this new fee by threatening to change game development engines.  A lot of developers switch over to either Godot or Unreal.

I myself was questioning if I should continue development with Unity or switch to another engine.  This was a difficult decision for me because I invested so much of my game into unity.  It would be very difficult to move to another engine,  which I attempted and found it would set me back almost a year in development.

Luckily Unity rolled back on this policy and announced a more reasonable fee.  So,  I'll continue this project under Unity and work with the new fee policy which really doesn't affect me yet.

ANIMATIONS IN THE WORKS!

I have started reworking animations.  This will take a while to develop but it's very important that I take my time with it because great-looking sex animations are a key part of my game.  If I speed through this part of the development.  You will get really bad short animations.

This is one of the key features that will improve in Build 6, which is really good almost triple-A quality animations.  I will update the old animations I have and rework them to improve the animation quality.

There are several animations I need to do,  which include the old animation sets and several new ones.  I've been requested to add these animations but I cannot say what these animations are.  They will be in the next update.

CHARACTER CUSTOMIZATION

Character customization is one of the main goals in the next update.  I have shown it off before but it was in it's early stages.  I have made some improvements like changing the background to a darker background to make the character models really stand out.  There are not many options when customizing your character but I'll add more within this update and they will be additions to the character customization as I roll out updates.

VEHICLE TRAFFIC READDED

I have vehicle traffic now on the map, so you will see vehicles driving around the ocean city I have created.  Will there be new vehicles added?  Yes,  it's an improvement to one of the older vehicles which is the police vehicle.  I stated how I wanted to add a justice system.  That will still be a new feature in the next update.  The police car will have a new look.  In the previous version, it was a small hatchback police vehicle.  In build 6 there will be police SUV roaming around the map.  I still plan to add the ability to drive cars, I am only aiming to add one car that is drivable in build 6.

OUTRO

I appreciate you all for sticking around and supporting my project.  I strive to bring you all a really good adult game.  It's not easy for one developer.  This build version is taking a lot longer to release because of how much I am changing in this build.  I assure you after this build, future builds will take a lot longer to publish.  I do plan on implementing development builds being released monthly in the future for all Tier 3 members.  Once I get over this hurdle development will be fast and smooth.  Thank you for reading, and you all have a good week!

Thanks for your support,
