Writing the consequences of the Kiro and Kally hookup has eating up must of my time thus far… well, that and the Overwatch holiday update. I unboxed a pile of old loot boxes and fifty of the new ones besides, then burped out a youtube video of it, if you’re interested.
I got some of the coding for those scenes in tonight. Tomorrow the goal is to clean them up and actually get some more fun written.
So here’s a question I’ve been meaning to ask for a while, what’s the deal with the character art in the game? Specifically, what’s with the cropping of the character art in the game?
I’ve noticed from the now defunct GitHub and from the few streams I’ve peaked in on that most of the artists seem to draw the characters from the knees up yet in game you’re lucky if you can see anything below the knees. Am I missing a button or something that will let me see the full image?
It may just be my 3D background but I’m a little confused as to why stuff’s getting made that the player can never see.
click them to configure which portrait to use and you can see the whole thing
I double checked to make sure I’m not losing my mind (I did know about the art selection screen) and nope, it’s still there. For instance, fly over to Myrellion and have a gander at Renvra. Now when you go for the sex scene you’ll notice that you can see her cock poking out from the bottom of the frame. In the art selection screen you can see more, but only a bit more. Now, have a look at the full image that was posted in the blog https://www.fenoxo.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/11/renvra_nude.png
There’s almost a full third more of a picture in there, and from memory most of the artwork is like that in game.
Those are called busts. A bust is a sculpture of a person’s head, shoulders, and chest. TiTS busts go down to the knees to show you the genitals of the characters because it is a huge factor in the game. That’s the best way I can explain it.
“TiTS busts go down to the knees to show you the genitals of the characters because it is a huge factor in the game.”
I agree, but that’s my point because the bust I linked above isn’t actually in the game, only a cropped version of it is. Which confuses me since there’s essentially artwork that’s getting tossed out. Kally might be a better example. I’m sure I saw Shou doing a whole bunch of different states for her bust but you can’t see any of it in the game because it’s below her navel.(Unless there’s an option to display the full image somewhere that I’m missing.)
And when one of the devs sees this, I swear I’m not trying to pick a fight. I’m just genuinely curious about the design/workload decision here.
They’re positioned as they are to give a reasonable view of the character. Part of the plan (and something we’ve tested on a small scale) is to eventually produce a much, much larger build that includes a bunch of additional art and higher res versions of the busts, and let you view them full-screen. I actually might try and make the test version available or something to demonstrate what we’re planning on doing.
We’re not doing it yet because it poses some hilarious issues with both the Flash compiler, to say nothing of the final output size. I have a plan to science things and make it viable, but it’s on the priority list below “smash through the content backlog”, “actually finish writing some stuff” and “implement spess combat”.
Thanks, I figured the reason had to be something like that. Have you guys considered adding the pictures into the test itself, kind of like a drop cap?
More and more Kiro and Kally, best xmas gift ever Fen 😀
Any chance for the “Fun” to be new virgin related characters or virgin related scenes? that isnt just the regular “virginity is taken” comment.
Consequences, the worst kind of sequences.
What kind of consequences do you have in mind Fen?
Wish we had more storage space for consumables. I’ve made it my calling to cellect all the transformation items xD
Expanded storage space will come with the spaceship expansion, but that won’t be released for quite some time, unfortunately.
I’ve always wondered this fen; How do you stay focused? What do you do to keep yourself from following distractions? As someone who wants to write, and is being plagued by the urge to “do something else” I’d just love to learn your technique.
So, quick question; when will Uveto’s story be finished enough in order to be able to get the Frost Wyrm/Dragon TF? Would very much love to be able to get it soon.
I’dd love to see that too, I have fought the wyrm several times, once getting it down to 3/5 of it’s health before defeat
A while.
Totally my fault things are going so slow with Uveto, but continued illness has limited my ability to work this year.
Ah, well.. Hope you get well soon then, Savin. Best of wishes to you, m8. 😉
Kiro & Kally are also apparently eating up the time you need to proofread your posts. “Has eating up must,” lol.
Opened 50 of the Christmas boxes and the only thing I’m missing is Mei’s legendary skin. I even unboxed Zarya’s legendary emote 4 times….RIP this month’s paycheck
An interesting consequence could be that if male or herm steele manages to make them both pregnant O_O ;P
Keep dreaming.
How about they both make the PC preggo. 😛 jk jk
Pretty sure Nonesuch’s taking Savin’s Fetishes(Yes’/No’s) into consideration.
The cartoonishly dicked furry futa are the product of Fen, not Savin. You can tell this because they are cartoonishly dicked furry futa. I don’t think Fen has strong feelings about pregnancy one way or another. But it still isn’t going to happen.
Hey fenoxo, what language do you code Trials in, just curious. And are you looking for any volunteer writing or coding?
it’s Flash so ActionScript, the fact that you don’t know that causes high concern about you codesman skills.
um, why is the EMP Grenade set as a “consumable” in the storage area? Shouldnt it be in weapons? I usually take consumable to mean transformatives. maybe you guys need to make an upgrade, when you do ship stuff, that separates the TFs with the battle items.
Consumable as in when you use it it depletes by 1 until there are 0 and then at which point you can’t use more. Its more of an rpg term for things that have a limited quantity of uses.
The suspense is literally killing me…
“Whaddya wanna do tonight?”
“The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Hit F5 and hope for a new backer build.”
If I could reach you, I would hurt you; Pinky. 😉
Other than that… You’d get a “Yeeeeeaaahss!”
Brain rocks all. :>
