This month was mostly spent on 3D Arielle game stuff. I know people are looking for the Umichan stuff but I'm just burnt out on it tbh. still in recharge mode. I wanted to finish it this month but the motivation is just not there. It's why I work on multiple games to begin with but i think also because i'm a bit frustrated with tryanobuilder. I'll once again try to grind the rest of the High Stakes and finish it by next month. I also wanted to start working on some quick and easy animation galleries of a particular niche or character. 

Below are all the updates for this Month:


UMCH Lite:
Just fixed some of the scene transitions


Umichan Sorani:
went back to 960x650 resolution and old UI and character scaling
added previous new Max (the character) scenes to this build
added them into the normal gallery 


Umichan High Stakes:
Created replay gallery and added existing animations to it and a unlock button for it.
Added credits screen
Updated title art


3D Arielle Project:
added different test missions to the terminal in the center of the city between the buildings. you can play as Ari, Phia, Tiffany or Maiko for those.

Play as Maiko - talk to Maiko in the city first
Play as Ari - interact with the terminal in the Alleyway first
Play as Phia - talk to Phia in the city first
Play as Phia - talk to Tiffany in the city first

Updated Maiko, Phia, Tiffany, Bri and Maiko models with various adjustments to different body parts.

Tweaked the breast physics on those characters to be less crazy
Added/fixed eyelashes for those characters
Added a dress alternate outfit for Maiko and Phia. (Ari already had one)

Remade the example warehouse level.
Removed level of detail meshes for buildings to help with loading times.
made and outlined framework of the main story line.
updated the title screen image (for now)
Made a unique gun for Maiko

adjusted damage and difficulty from enemy AI
adjusted sentinel movement and targeting logic

Finished (almost) all the enemy types and their AI logic including bosses
Yellow agents (male and female)
Red Agent Sniper and Melee variants
Green Agent Shield
Blue Agent Melee and Assault rifle variants
Purple Agent Hex
Mech Suit(shoots missiles that can damage themselves or other agents)
Sentinel (Blue and Green variants)

Elite Heavy (this is you Cain, Yui team leader type agents in the dark blue suits)

Sentinel Operator (operators are linked to sentinels, when you defeat the operator the  sentinel will be defeated also, the current redesign of UMCH will explore this role further)

Executive (Harold, Natan, etc)

Finished Harold enemy and AI logic. He also has a Unique Mech Suit you can fight on one of the missions Harold also has a unique gun.

Finished both Natan enemies and their AI logic(He also has a 2nd form you can fight one one of the missions)

the last enemy type I want to make were Bri clones

created a script to remove defeated enemies (not implemented yet though but it works)

created a script to snow effects like sparks and stuff once a projectile finds it's target (sp far only implemented on Ari MLaWs)

created a script to spawn enemies from other enemies or spawn points. 

on Maiko's test area. some yellow agents you defeat will morph into hex agents.

No offense, but those 3D faces look kinda bad. I'm sure you can make it look more like something similar to your 2D artwork. If that isn't your intention, I can understand. I just feel that the faces could use a touch up to make them look less generic. Besides that, you're doing great on the overall changes. Keep up the good work.

Well that’s a huge bummer… Seriously, I think it’s ok to be tired to keep working on only one game, but releasing 0 content two months in a row about the main game that was advertised without telling the people that are paying for it about the change of direction reflects a huge lack of transparency. I personally have 0 interest for that 3d game but maybe some people do. Even then, I feel cheated since there never was any option for me to know what was going to be released at the end. Anyway, long story short I think you really should release a public post with the full details of the content released so people could know if they want to spend money on that type of content.

Im also assuming that this 3d Game has no sexual content which means I'm not interested in it at all, and Im assuming a large portion of the fanbase feels the same(Could be wrong), but yeah I totally agree with you man. Originally I was gonna unsub about 3 months ago, but decided to give him another chance, and now I'm feeling the same again :(

Julio

I think most of us are OK with you taking a break and all from work on from main projects, it's just that we need updates throughout the month. Maybe at least one post halfway through the month saying what it is you are working on and plan on releasing. It's just a bummer to wait all month till the very end of it to find out what it is you are releasing. Still support the work though and hope for the best

Niqqa

this is the final straw, i had so much respect for ya and everything and took me a while to actually donate to ya but seeing shit like this, im sorry bud but imma have to withdraw my 5$

Supersoulrez

I'm gonna have to dip out my dude this isn't the content I want to see. Especially when being told at the last possible minute (After patreon withdrawals our donations) that there's gonna be no content or we get this 3D stuff. Kinda shady man but anyway you do you I'll be back in couple months to check on you.

vortex00

They still look bad to you? Idk it seems like the best I can do there with dealing with something more realistic. The dialogue and H stuff will have 2D art.

vortex00

Sorry I've made you all feel this way. It's not as if I decide what to work on at the start of the month and just don't tell anyone about it. I always go into the month assuming I will get everything done however atm the umichan stuff is really a slog to get through since there is a lot of pre work needed before anything even gets into the game. So almost by accident i'll work on something else for a bit then plan on coming back to it later since i know a lot of people like that the most. My pipeline could probably use some improvements. Getting some ARIA stuff done was a bit of refresher so I'll see what i can do with the umichan stuff by the first week. if it's looking grim i'll make a post on it. Again very sorry. I don't mind sending refunds just message me.

vortex00

Yeah I need to get better about posting. Like I mentioned in the reply above, I'm usually not totally sure how the month will end myself. I go in planning to update everything, which is usually fine. but I think my issues with tyranobuilder have piled up a bit too much and have made umichan a slog. at least I hope that's the problem. And in the past (before I had a patreon where i needed to work on the game anyway) I'd just work on something else then come back to it. The bit of a break got me refreshed on the thing I was trying to work on initially. I'll see where I'm at with the umichan stuff by the first week and make a post on it.

vortex00

as an addition for Dustin Lee, the game is 3D indeed however has 2D art work and will have 2D H scenes.

vortex00

All love man, I'm slipping up a bit as I try to finish up that particular game. Not every game goes smoothly as I would hope for. The intent is not be shady, it's just been a bit of a slog trying to force myself to get all the stuff into the game since I've come to the realization the game is not really what I want a continuation of umichan to be and would like to make something better that plays more like UMCH did.

vortex00

Sorry I have made you feel this way. The intent is not to be shady. I really have no incentive to try to trick you or any patron. I do actually go into the month planning to update umichan stuff and everything else as well. It just hasn't been working out that way. While a lot of people like the Umichan game, I'm in kind of a depressed state about it since I know i can make something better but I've been kinda locked down to finishing this since it's what a lot of people like.

Supersoulrez

I understand, you're trying to create for everyone and you can't make everyone happy its a fact of life. Thats why I said i'll be back in a couple months. I'm not giving up on ya, its just this content isn't my cup of tea you know? I see what you do on discord so I know you're not just slacking. That's why I'll be back.

MS186

I for one am pleasantly suprised, I wasn't expecting an update on this for awhile. Can't wait to check it out later tonight, keep up the amazing work.

vortex00

If you are interested in the 3D arielle game you should like this then. I also recorded a video for it as well explaining everything in this build what I have planned, but i'll need to reduce the size of it.
