Progress Report - Moans, optimization and more!


Hey lads!

Long time no see. I was dealing with kidney stones & heat waves, but I'm back for some time already and working. I know that I am "a bit" behind the schedule, thus I've sent my wife together with the kid to her mom, so I can work in peace. Also, I'm trying to do some night shifts to get back some of the time lost.

I know that you are waiting for v31d, but you have to wait a bit longer, because I'm in the middle of fixing characters' clothes & optimizing locations, while working on features for v32 and testing art from my artist.

We will be improving details of the character art (male & female), like new lips (you already have female eyes in v31), hands, feet, naked body and new female body type - muscled. Clothes will be updated at much later date.

Anyway, I've found a way to optimize locations (and it should be a big relief for Android users), but I have to edit each location manually and then test it multiple times, so it's really time consuming. From what I've tested, game didn't reach more than 2 GB of RAM and 1 GB of VRAM while in the most demanding circumstances. I still didn't finish, so I might get a little better results in the end.

I also did some tweaks & optimized character clothes loading and it seems to work now much better than before, but some errors still happen (mostly missing hands).

If you want ETA for v31d, then it's definitely this week, but can't say for sure how long it will take.

As promised before, I got in touch with various moan actresses, and while majority ignored or ghosted me (beats me why do some VAs mention that commissions are open and looking for work while they don't even bother to answer my e-mail), I've made a deal with Miss Maia who will do 3 moan variants for my game (to be included in v32). There will be bigger variety of moans in each moan variant, and they will be based on lips (open/close) and animation speed (slow/fast), so around 40 sound files per moan variant. What's more, we will be adding expression sounds during dialogues based on Jane's current facial expression (you probably saw it already in some games) and we estimate over 10 sounds per moan variant. So that's around 50 sounds per moan variant, so with 3 variants we will have around 150 sounds added to the game in total. That's way more than we currently have. Since moan system got reworked and extended, I'm sadly forced to delete both existing moan variants, since I have no way to expand these and fit them into the current system.

Pregnancy is partially done (at least art-wise), so I'll add pregnancy belly cheat to v32. It's just a visibility cheat, no impact on the gameplay in any way.

While speaking of cheats, I added 3 optional beards & mustaches for the male NPCs, but we need to update male faces first (just like we are doing with females right now) for them to look good and be compatible with beards & mustaches. Anyway, EX only for now, and once we are done with art in v32 or v33, it will be in BA, too.

Lastly, poll results. Since 1/3 of people have problems with downloading from MEGA, and it's too many for me to ignore, I decided to add Google Drive links with the release of v31d, and then in October I'll buy premium PixelDrain subscription (if I don't find any better option), so with those 3 options available I believe everyone will be able to download the game without any problems.

Summer is slowly coming to an end, but it's not giving up, so temperatures are still high over here. But after a really long fight, I finally got permission to install an air conditioner, so I quickly ordered one and after a few days it was already installed. Yay! P.S. Don't mind the dirt, it's still fresh.


Cheers!
