New Mode - Photo Studio (Patreon)

What`s up, guys!
This time we're here to bring news about the new game mode we're creating: Photo Studio.

It's been a while since the last post, as we wanted to have this mode in a more advanced stage of development before showing it to you.
It took more work than we expected, as creating a new game mode involves a lot of details, but now we have this game mode almost finished, just missing the tutorial.

By the way, we've decided to merge the Inventory tutorial with the Exploration Mode tutorial to make room for the new Photo Studio tutorial, which will be available in the 6th slot starting with this release.
But that's just a detail, without further ado, let's get down to business.

We'll use the screenshots attached to this post to better explain each point of this new mode.

In Screenshot 1, you can see the first view that will be displayed as soon as you enter Photo Studio mode.
There'll be a full body image, which will be used as an introductory image. This image will also be possible to be photographed.

But before that, on Screenshot 2, a menu will appear asking which girl you would like to photograph.

After choosing the girl, another menu will be presented asking which outfit you would like her to wear in the photo shoot, as seen in Screenshot 3.

In Screenshot 4, we can see the pose referring to the Top Camera.
There are a total of 3 different cameras: Top, Middle and Bottom.
Switch between them to see different poses from different angles.

In Screenshot 5, we can see the pose referring to the Middle Camera.

In Screenshot 6, we can see the pose referring to the Bottom Camera.

In Screenshot 7, we can see the "Change Clothes" button in action.
In some poses, it'll be possible to ask the girl to remove some clothes or all of her clothes to get a new variant of the photo for the same camera angle.
All girls will have 1 nude photo from the front and 1 nude photo from the back for each outfit.

In Screenshot 8, we can see the "Turn Around" button.
When clicking on it, the girl will turn around, with her back to the camera, generating a new pose for each camera angle.
By clicking this button again, it is possible to make her face the camera again.

Once you've selected the desired pose, just click the "Take a Photo" button to take a picture of the current pose, as shown in Screenshot 9.

Once the photo of the current pose has already been taken, the "Take a Photo" button will display a green sign in the lower right corner, showing that this photo has already been taken, in addition to changing its caption to "Photo Taken", as shown in Screenshot 10.
To complete a photo session, it's necessary to take pictures of the girl in all poses. That green tick displayed on the button is a great indicator to remind you which photos you've already taken and which ones are still missing.

In addition to the main buttons, there are 2 extra buttons referring to the configuration of the Photo Studio mode window:

In Screenshot 11, we can see the "Change Window Position" button, which allows changing the position of the window on the screen in up to 9 different positions: It's possible to move the window to the 8 corners of the screen and to the center. So you can position the window however you like.
In this example, we moved the window to the bottom right corner to better show the photo.

Finally, in Screenshot 12, we can see the "Hide Window" button, which allows you to completely hide the Photo Studio mode window.
We know that in some cases the window will be in front of the image and this can be annoying for players, so we decided to provide the option to completely hide the window so that you can see the photo better.

In Screenshot 13, we can see the result of the image being shown without the Photo Studio mode window, once the "Hide Window" button is activated.
To make the window reappear, simply press any action or cancel button, such as: Left Mouse Button, Enter, Space, Right Mouse Button and Escape.

Once the player has finished taking photos in all poses, the photo shoot will end and the player will be returned to the menu presented at the beginning.
In this way, it'll be possible to start a photo session with a different girl and/or outfit, in addition to being able to do the same photo session again.
Although it's not necessary, we've decided to make it possible to do the same photo shoot so players can review photos this way if they want.
Once you've done all the photo shoots you want, just click "Exit Photo Studio" to exit Photo Studio mode, as shown in Screenshot 14.

The post was a little long, but this was the best way we found to present this new mode and all its possibilities.
Soon, we'll bring a video footage showing this mode in operation, so that you can better visualize the new mode.

That's all for today, folks!
Cheers! 🍻
