Development Update Blog: Behind the Scenes of Dynamic Sex System 2.0

Hi all,

We've been fairly radio-silent since the last big bugfix update, squirreling away in the background. In terms of DSS 2.0 we've now implemented a first-pass of every feature and we're onto the stage of integrating everything into the single system.

Romance

Damaris now has the next phase of her romance enabled, adding around new 200 lines of dialogue between herself and the player. Players will now be able to not only give Damaris that first kiss she so desires, but potentially go significantly further with the shy barmaid (should they play their cards right).

Moswen is also in-production, with his romance phase in the writing stage. As development progresses we intend to have a good balance of romance partners, with male, female and herm options.

Expressions & Deformations

As things stood, our characters were too wooden for our liking. To remedy this we've given characters an additional set of morphs, widening the range of what's possible in terms of facial expressions and interactions. This also goes for "pole meets hole" interactions, where openings will now visibly deform to accommodate various sizes of insertion.

Jiggly Wiggly

In order to make the adult content itself more dynamic we've implemented various physics based elements on top of our animations, allowing things to bump and bounce more realistically. This also means that we'll be able to accommodate various interactions which weren't previously possible.

Total Camera Control

We've now implemented a new "freecam" system to allow you to view the interactions from whatever angle you choose. You'll now be able to click on whatever part of the scene they want to focus on and rotate/zoom/pan around this point. In the GIF below you can see the focus point represented as a purple box (this box will not be visible in-game).

Happy Endings

Finally, all this time after we lost the "messy finish" cosmetic, we've got dynamic "mess" working within the system. Now any external climax has the potential to make you (or your partner) messy. It's not a "smoke and mirrors" system, so where you finish is where the mess goes. With the physics interaction this means that each time will be slightly different.

The current development build doesn't fully store mess states, however we are implementing this into the system and it may or may not be included in the initial DSS 2.0 release.

[Please note that the above GIF is captured using an old animation, not one of the new DSS 2.0 animations]

Mess builds up with successive contacts, so you (or your partner) will eventually end up very sticky unless you bathe. Currently mess only works from the neck down, however once we've playtested the system it'll roll out to include heads as well.

Open Wide

Those of you who keep an eye on the Discord will have already seen that we have created new mouth interiors including tongues. Characters are now able to extend tongues for... various purposes.

We're currently in the midst of linking all of these individual systems in with one another, which is no small feat, but we're still aiming for the end of July as our target.

The latter half of this year will avoid any "big" systems and instead aim for lots of content within the existing zones, so that will comprise quicker turnaround updates to ensure you actually have a good supply of gameplay/adult content to make the most of these new features. That means quests, forms, cosmetics, and adult content - everything you need to begin really tasting what Sabu has to offer.
