It's CLOSE! I can feel it. Just put that work in today and tomorrow on sound an it'll be out. The VR version I still gotta render but that should go quick once I get the initial release out. Although I will warn that Mako~Chi is sick and can't fix up a few lines so this month waiting period til free release gives her time to recover and that will be done on the full free release.

-----

Looks like i'm gonna be adding sound as fast as I possibly can. I finished off the lip sync and some clothing physics using the wiggle armature. Now it's just the tail and then bringing it all home in UE4. I DID test out UE5 but... man, I'll check it out more once Michiru is done.

Getting hit by some covid shot symptoms. Biggest one is really fast soreness and scrambled brain. Gonna fight through that for this short stream.

Also officially moving over to Piczel!

Edit: Everything went really well tonight! Now I gotta bake all the destruction from Blender and put it in UE4!
I was able to learn A LOT over the weekend about fixing UE4 imports for destruction in Blender. A lot of it has to do with topology being bad and fixing it with limited dissolve and merging vertices.
I also learned the FUCK out of raytracing which is actually the KEY to getting a cinematic polish over my videos. BUT i'm gonna have to try that out on a newer project as I'd have to redo the lighting in Michiru all over again but the Michiru vid already looks great because I kinda built my own bounce lighting with all the lights all around. And Neko vid already has the worst performance I've ever seen. It'll be fine, I just gotta focus on finishing the destruction in Michiru and then redoing some destruction in Neko vid to look better.

I was also able to find a newer version of bullet constraints for Blender for better destruction impactfulness but I don't really need it right now so i'm gonna finish off Michiru without it.
-----
Now that I have basic destruction popping off, now I gotta blend it into other stuff. And still learn inner recoloring that sticks after baking
-----

Piczel is a damn good option I might switch to once Neko vid is finished.
-----
$10 a month vs Picarto's $15 a month is a massive difference over time.
Also, there's a LOT more stream watching options based on mobile and performance or latency. Wanted to test it out today

Edit: Wow that screen came out wonderfully glitchy
