You probably noticed I added Furya to the game's banner. What does that mean? You tell me! Furya is a side character I spent so much time working on, mostly because I like strong muscular women and always had the character in mind even before I started making the game. I definitely wrote and had planned way more content for her compared to the other side girls, so she's almost a main girl technically, now I'm just kinda of officializing it. Think of her like that 5th special Power Ranger, like the Green Ranger or the White Ranger, they are not part of the main rangers but they are still special on their own. Furya is like the Green/White Ranger, I guess.
Does that mean the rest of the game's development will be hindered by this? Absolutely not! I'm just making an official statement, she's already written into the story, so the only thing I really gotta do is include her in the affinity system, and that's it. There's another reason I decided to include her in the banner, but that one is a little stupid: My OCD.
You see, you had Prime Girl in the middle (she's always gotta be the girl in the center), then you had 3 girls on her left side and 2 girls on her right side, and that was eating me inside. I needed to add another girl to compensate for the right side. Stupid, I know, but everything happens for a reason. For the past couple of days I've been tweaking all character models and Furya is one of the girls I spent the most time trying to get it right, I've been trying to make a muscle mommy ever since I started making characters and now I'm finally happy with the results.
Making a muscular character in HS2 is very challenging, the program is very hard to deal with, especially when you have to consider clothes that will clip with different body types that are not the standard ones the app is used to. The first version of Furya was intended to be a Main Girl but she was too thick and almost 90% of the clothes were clipping and it was a nightmare to deal with so I just "nerfed" her and made her into a side girl to save me trouble and headaches.
But now that I'm better at dealing with HS2 (both Maker and Studio) I can finally make my strong Death-by-Snu-Snu queen. You'll notice I changed her eye color too, the new blue was screaming to be used with her white hair and it makes so much sense for her eyes to be blue. I know she now has basically the same colors as Aurora, but trust me, both girls have their own reasons for wearing those colors and both are equally important to their characters.
The only thing I cannot avoid is people thinking she has ice powers, she does not! She's like a barbarian from an RPG with the power to be enraged and enhance all her body. She can't fly, but she can jump really high, just like The Hulk (or She-Hulk). As you play more you'll understand why the white and blue colors are in her costume, her tattoos and face paintings. And also about her very special and dangerous secret 👀
I wanted to talk in more detail about my workflow but this log is getting too long already, I'm gonna leave it for the next one. I'll only say I'm so fucking hyped about the new models overall, the texture and anatomy of the girls are SO MUCH BETTER. When the good stuff happens this will make a HUGE difference in the quality of the scenes.
Oh, and there's also a wallpaper version of this special render, both normal and vertical:
