Hello again, everybody! Another progress update. Again.Just found out that I can add dividers to these posts. I wish I'd known that earlier, Lol

Stomach Pushing

I've given the Stomach another tool to utilize in digesting its contents thoroughly: The stomach walls can now visually deform & push SPECIFIC objects around! It's used right now to churn the stomach contents, and can also push specific objects further into the acid to better aid in digestion. Pretty small feature, but really cool nonetheless.

New Memory System is Nearing Completion

I've just about finished up the Giantess' new memory / perception system. As it's brand new, it's naturally not very performant, so I'll need to go through an optimization pass for it. (This is the same system that allows the Giantess to predict the movement of entities behind obstacles). I also want to bring this system to micro AI's as well, as the major changes to this system actually broke micros' AI. I'd like to get that fixed before the next update goes out.

Speaking of next update...

Next Update ETA?

I still don't have an ETA for the next update. If I had to make a (very rough) estimate of its complete-ness, I'd say it's somewhere around 40% - 70%.

I have yet to start on several scenarios that I planned for the upcoming update, just because of how long it's taking me to finish the scripts, scenarios & tasks that I've implemented thus far.

Namely: Watching TV (with popcorn?), filling the coffee cup in the kitchen when it gets empty, getting dressed / undressed, taking a bath, using the bathroom, and eating captured micros from the micro jar in the kitchen & in the bedroom desk drawer.A lot of these are on the todo list just for more interactivity with the world, but most of them are required for certain scenarios.

What's taking so long?

When I make scenarios, I have to make unique animations (if the scenario calls for it), figure out where everything will be positioned in the level, make / buy custom models (though I try to use ones I already have where I can), and then work on the scenario's scripts.

While I'm testing scenarios, I also frequently run into bugs that require fixing for the progress on said scenario to continue. It's a pretty time consuming process all-around, and I already don't get a lot of time to work on the project, so I ask that you continue to bear with me!

The Big Vote

No pun intended.Seeing as this update is taking so long to finish (like all those before it), I figured it's only right to give control of this next update's fate over to you extremely generous folk. In my opinion, this next update isn't all that appealing over the last update without any of the planned scenarios, but there have been quite a few smaller (yet awesome) additions since then, so it's really up to you.

I can't stress enough how thankful I am to each of you that this project still even has supporters, despite the huge gaps of time between each update. You're all very patient, and I'm eternally grateful for that!! Again, I'm sorry this update is taking so long.

In the next progress update, I'll start taking steps to carry out the winning vote. See you all then!
