Player's Hscene. Rigging complete, and a bit more on Nova's scene.

Hey everyone! This week I finished the baseline animations for Nova's scene, and got started on the Player's Hscene. I haven't shown this one yet, but this Hscene will be a bit unique compared to most.

Before I get in to the progress report, I want to say that SpunkStock has been submitted, and accepted to appear in Hentai Expo 2023 in April. For those who weren't here last year, Hentai Expo is a live stream that showcases a bunch of new and upcoming Hgames. It was a ton of fun to hang out in chat while our game, and so many others were showcased. I highly recommend checking it out this year if it interests you! Here is a link to their Twitter. You can find the information you need there.

With that, let's get in to what's been going on this week. First off, I added a climax animation to Nova's scene.

and I made sure to cause the state to animate with the loops.

This animation has been taking a bit longer than usual because I've been using it to experiment with new ways of approaching certain things. There are still a few more loops, and animations I want to do with this scene, but with the base animations done, swapped to the next animation, and will likely come back to it.

This leads to the Player Character scene. This scene will be the main source where I will be playing with the idea of the Player Character being able to choose their form (as I mentioned fairly early on).

Unlike other scenes, this scene will take place in the hub. It will also likely be where you go to access the game's "Gallery Mode" when it's implemented. You can either choose to view scenes, or do things in this chair.

This will be where I am going to be testing the extent of potential character customization, and in the future we will also likely try testing the idea of "inviting other characters" to join you in the chair. There are still several things to flesh out with this scene, but that's kind of the point of it. We can add to it, and make it more interesting as time goes on.

Out the gate you will likely be able to tinker with the idea of having male, female, and androgynous features.

There may be more options like a more feminine hair style. The idea is that the character is a race that can change their state depending on situations. I have many ideas on how to flesh it out, but know that your customization here may or may not carry over to the other scenes in the game. How far we take the customization is still pending, as we don't want it to have a bad effect on the scope of the game.

As of right now, this is meshed, and rigged up. In this upcoming week I will be doing the base animations for it. It will be quite simple at first, but ideally this will be a scene that grows over time. 

With that, I will get back to it! Thanks for the continued support everyone! There is plenty to sort out, but we'll get there! I'll catch you all next week with some motion on this scene, and perhaps some more news on the direction/layout for the game.
