WIP 3, character design

I've been working on modeling the characters for the past two or three weeks, now.  I'm still some way from being completely finished, but I've got the main bits down and they're at the point where I don't see them changing dramatically between now and when the game is released.

I've had a third party helping me out a bit with the actual character design, since I'm really quite bad at that sort of thing, though I've been kept plenty busy turning the drawings into 3D models.  Initially, I wanted to go with a 'pixar' style for the characters, though it turns out that it's actually pretty difficult to pull off without looking like 100% shit.  As such, I've fallen back into a style that's about 20% pixar, 80% pseudo-realistic.  It's not what I wanted at the outset but it's what I'm going with for now, since I don't want to spend a year and a half on this thing.

For those curious, here's a render of our female leads:

Their faces and bodies are basically done, which leaves modeling all of their clothing before we move on to actually putting these characters to use.  Wish me luck.

WIP 3: Finished and named (Orval Creep n' Hammer)

It took a while, but the game's finally finished. I present to you:   Orval Creep n' Hammer . Alright, so I'm not great with names.  Believe it or not this is the best iteration that myself and three other people could come up with. Features: Stars four women Multiple animated sex scenes Wood paneling There are currently a couple of known issues, both particular to the GNU/Linux version.  Basically, typos that I forgot to correct before uploading the files.  Oops.  😢 It's a simple enough game, give it a download and try it out (approx. 700mb).

FGAME, beginnings

FGAME (working title still) is going to be a relatively short game, with only five or six concise 'acts' that take place throughout.  As such, I didn't expect to spend very much time building the skeletal structure of the code, or the plot, or the standin character art. As usual, I've underestimated the amount of work that actually goes into creating a fucking game, even a fantastically short one.  You'd think I'd know better, but no, it's a lesson that just doesn't seem to stick. Still, some honest-to-god progress has been made.  I've learned some of the renpy ropes and have already built the majority of the locations that can be accessed, and the player's means of accessing them.  None of the final art of course, which is going to take the longest by far, but... baby steps. I've also finalized the plot structure, events, etc. and started in on the script in a proper fashion.  The first 'act' is done, though I haven't ...

Taking a break, sort of.

I've decided that I'm going to take a short break from my 'main' project and work on something else for a few weeks.  That's not to say that I might not work on it a bit every here or there, but I'm going to focus my efforts on something else for a little while. Specifically, I've decided that I want to make a short game in Ren'py .  It's an engine you're probably familiar with if you're a fan of visual novels, but for the uninitiated, well... it's a thing that lets you make visual novels.  Whew!  Made it through the intro, wasn't sure I would. Why Ren'py?  It's easy, cross-platform and good for what it does.   Akabur uses it, as do many, many, many other people, and 10,000 wolves can't be wrong as they say.  I don't think I'll be using it for my main thing, since half the point of that is just the fun of developing shit by hand, but for simpler stuff it looks like it should work quite nicely. So, what am I ...
