/fur/ - Furry

Looks interesting, can't wait to see more.

Looks super cool. Although I would make the girl a little more animated, make her move her head and such. Think Phoenix Wright where the expressions and pictures change depending on the attitude of the conversation. An idle animation while you're waiting to make a choice wouldn't hurt either.

If you could find a more natural sound for her to make when she talks, that'd help things out a bit better.

>>92875

If we're ripping off animal crossing then may as well just do a barky version of this. Could be kinda cute.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdxYWxryLhI

>>92802

so where's the vore

>>92875

Yeah, I wasn't entirely satisfied with this sound set, I just picked it out of a free sound library. It's some guy's girlfriend reading the alphabet.

I might try what >>92876 suggested if I can find something a bit more natural.

>>92885

I'm going to focus on core stuff first when it comes to the erotic aspects, vanilla sex scenes, etc. What fetish material goes in is probably going to come down to whether or not the demand for it is significant to justify the opportunity cost. I'm one guy! If I somehow acquire a budget to get assistance, catering to as many tastes as possible would be possible.

I have a question for you though: who would be getting vored, ideally?

>>92894

Shill nigga shill. There's a lot of people trying to fill that void that is the perfect yiff game. Once you demonstrate a sex scene you should get plenty of funding, just don't let the cash corrupt you. Also change up the dialogue box, don't wan Nintendo smiting you.

>>92802

This art style is really nice and I like it a lot but... Is there going to be gay content? If there is then I'd be *very* interested.

>>92903

Absolutely! I have no experience with it, but I intended to have male characters from the beginning, and not making some kind of smutty content for them would just be rude.

>>92906

The way I'm laying out the internal data representation should hypothetically allow me to present the game in different ways (graphically/textually), though I'm looking to keep it a healthy balance of text and models to accomodate my solo-developer status. You'd interact with it largely the same way you interact with something like Corruption of Champions, but there'd be much more polish in the UI.

When I say AC-styled, I mean to say that it would incorporate a lot of non-erotic lifesim elements like having villagers wander around from location to location where you can chat them up and see how they're doing. If you're familiar enough with them, you can hang out in their house and have more intimate conversations. They'd have some sort of schedule, individual likes, dislikes, (hopefully) different physical attributes and personalities/dialogues assigned from a pool of stock types.

If I can rig things really well and parameterize their model attributes cleanly, I could make them entirely RNG'd so that you could have completely unique villagers, but I can't know for sure just how well that'd end up looking. I may stick closer to AC and just hand-tweak them from a base model with different textures and bone proportions to give them different looks.

>being able to select gender and species and having the characters react to it would be great.

My loftiest goal is to make a male and female human player model that is modular enough to hybridize with other species and eventually become full anthro if the player chooses.

>>92899

Is that the biggest they can go?

Looking good, hope you don't abandon it 10% through development!

>>92923

But where is that certain point exactly? I need to know because reasons.

>>92927

Never too far.

>>92929

Her breasts have a larger mass than her entire body.

>>92929

I personally disagree but I guess that size is fine.

>>92931

How do you feel about... pregnancy?

>>92932

Good shit.

peet pics?

>>92934

Peets are not fully textured and I still gotta give them another pass soon.

>>92933

Well, I have something for you might like.

>>92935

Just how moddable are the bodies going to be?

>>92904

Amazing! Thanks!

>>92936

I'm going to start with what's most immediately useful for creating unique-looking variants of the same species. Height, maybe some thickness keys, interchangeable hair and fur tufts, and alternate iris textures/colors.

>>92938

Is the preg thing going to be in too or is that just a one off side thing?

ill give you shekels if you make a patreon

>>92941

https://www.patreon.com/gentledraws

I've had one functioning as a sort of tip jar, though I haven't updated it in a bit since I changed tacks on development. I was originally aiming to do a VR thing, but my understanding is the market for that is necessarily capped by the number of headset owners. It's something I'd like to revisit, and integrating basic VR is super easy, but the plans I had were a bit much. Trying to stick with something more accessible.

I'd feel much better about it if you waited until I push a proper demo out, but you're welcome to offer whatever support you can afford.

>>92944

couple of shekels sent

>>92945

Thank you kindly, anon. I'll put them to good use.

>>92946

np, don't give up!

>>92935

Eagerly awaiting whatever it is you have in store here.

Spent the day talking gamedev with a friend. No progress tonight, sadly. Gonna start working right now.

>>93055

Can we see an example of some m/m interaction sometime soon?

>>93062

Presently there is no player gender as there is little content, so all interactions are gender neutral and limited to dialogues. Today's goal is to implement non-dialogue interactions.

I can more or less guarantee that by the time I implement proper male/female specific interactions, male/male and female/female interactions will follow very shortly, though models for said interactions will obviously take a bit longer for me to turn around.

>>93063

ok but what about the preg thing you mentioned?

>>93070

Is there any chance it could be in the game? Or do you not intend for character interactions to go any further beyond "fuck and go"?

>>93072

Quite the opposite. My highest hope is that each villager will have a large variety of interactions and dialogues to discover as well as individual preferences and speeds for relationship development. There'd be a healthy mix of slutty characters that will put out easily and more conservative types that demand a little more investment to impress. I'd like to take it even further and allow for them to form relationships between each other and subscribe to relationship paradigms (strict monogamy, lax monogamy, polygamy, etc.), allowing you to facilitate relationships or destroy them through intervention.

That's all getting a bit ahead of myself, I'd like to focus on the simpler aspects of modeling the sim, but that's the long-term goal.

>>93073

I think the best way to go about this is to have a sort of checklist at the start where a player can choose what sort of things they do or don't want which ensures that everyone gets exactly what they want with nothing they don't. The randomized characters idea is really neat, but that leaves the possibility of a player not finding someone they like so being able to turn things off or having other things be more common ensures this won't happen. You could also do something similar with ranges for body shapes.

>>93075

There seems to be two distinct design philosophies in these kinds of games.

The first is to allow players to set content preferences to their tastes, the second is to make all content available all the time and let the player make the decision on the fly.

I think there's a smart way to do the latter without putting people off. As someone who is as straight as they come, I liked the presence of gay content in these kinds of games for the simple fact that it gives your heterosexuality some kind of consequence. The second you start letting people tick off items on a menu to excise content, it contributes to an overall feeling of artificiality that I think makes the sexual component cheap.

For example, let's say pregnancy puts you off (how dare you) and you want to indiscriminately rawdog every encounter. Instead of making it a menu option, just provide a magical contraceptive pill with 100% efficacy that you only need to take once. Maybe associate an interesting sort of quest to go with it, or have a sort of ordinance system that lets you declare procreation illegal so villagers stop breeding. Any of these options creates a story and frames your character in a certain light that might even be kind of memorable and humorous when you think about how insane it would be to ban some specific activity purely because you dislike it.

To take it further, let's say you like pregnancy but birth is just too far (even the clean and expedient hentai-interpretation of it). Instead of removing birth scenes systematically, just give your player the option to be present or to avoid it as it comes up. You can still engage with the system of breeding and pregnancy without having to witness the inevitable consequence of it first-hand.

If it became a highly requested feature, I might cave in and implement it, but I'd much rather stick to doing it the way I'm describing. Hopefully people will be happy with that.

>>93078

I understand that you want to have some depth in the game world to flesh it out as a game, and I can respect having that kind of integrity. But there's one thing you seem to be glossing over here:

People aren't going to be playing this for the gameplay. They're not going to care about the writing, even if it's really high quality. They're not in for world building either. They're in it to jerk off, plain and simple.

I know this sounds harsh and it sucks to hear, but you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot with that logic. You seem to be trying to make some sort of passion project here (art, form) but you're adding in pornographic content (product, function). People are going to want nothing more than to get to the content or scenes they want, to jerk off to said scene and likely close the game afterward. Having something like unwanted pregnancies just obfuscates the function with the form for anyone who's not into that. It's like when you're reading a doujin and the fat ntr guy shows up out of nowhere.

You need to focus on what it is you actually want this game to be, porn or an actual game? If you go with what I suggested, you can very easily maintain both form and function. With this people can get exactly what they want with nothing else, and you can still express your creativity in the details. Some people won't care about or want these details, and forcing them to see them won't make them appreciate them more.

any chance on getting preg sizes that match the titty sizes from earlier, or is that too far out of your comfort range?

>>93079

>They're in it to jerk off, plain and simple.

I used to think this before I started doing serious research and committing time to developing this idea, but after looking at the data, it's simply not true.

Fundamentally, there is a desire to be aroused that drives the market for erogames, yes, but how people engage with their arousal and sexual desire takes many forms, and the sheer diversity of successful erogames reflect that reality in a demonstrable way.

Popular erogames run the gamut of difficulty, presentation, explicitness, and genre. For me, there are a lot of these games that don't appeal to me, and nonetheless collectively generate revenue in excess of millions because not everyone is like me.

The only conventional wisdom I follow in this regard is to simply know who my target audience is and try to build as strong a product for them as I can manage. If I feel there is really a lack of focus, I can always make adjustments along the way (the code I'm writing is thankfully highly re-usable.)

Hope this assuages any concerns you might have. At the very least I can assure you that it's not going to take hours for you to get to the good stuff when it's out.

>>93084

Well if you've done actual research into this I guess I'll take your word for it, as I'm going off mostly theories. Though I still think being able to turn things off would make for a more enjoyable experience in general, especially since it lets you get away with putting in content that some might find less agreeable.

>>93085

>especially since it lets you get away with putting in content that some might find less agreeable.

I feel you on this front. One of my few gripes with CoC is that there's a ton unavoidable encounters with herm characters boasting gigantic horsecocks on full display.

I'm not grossed out or particularly offended by anything, but to me this kind of hypersexualization baked into the atmosphere and worldbuilding that demands everyone be sexually available and presenting at all times is comical in to a degree that is almost un-erotic for me.

The thing is, I intend to allow the player to choose when and and how they engage with the adult content. Characters aren't going to be presenting themselves out in the open unless that's something you want, and if that's something you want, there will be some steps you can take to achieve that.

>>92899

>>92898

>Female smug wolf

Now you got my attention as long as we play a human I'm all for it

>>93086

I'm less concerned about casual horsecocks flopping around out in the open and more with a player getting invested into a character only for said character to whip out some boner killing fetish. Having it simply say what content is in store can prevent this, but at the same time being able to keep it a surprise but being able to ensure that nothing you don't want comes up could be fun.

>>93088

Human is going to be the default, yeah.

>>93089

I had an idea that you could perhaps surreptitiously look at your fellow villagers browsing history and assess their interests and potential fetishes like a total creeper, or just talk to them and get subtle-not-so-subtle cues on what they're into.

Hypothetically, say, if there was someone into vore (not guaranteeing I'm going to implement it, again), they might drop completely innocuous variations on "oh you're so cute I could just eat you" now and again.

>>93090

>look at your fellow villagers browsing history

I don't know if I can abide by this.

>(not guaranteeing I'm going to implement it, again)

You totally should though.

>>93091

>I don't know if I can abide by this.

Hey, it's role-play. If you don't wanna be that guy, don't be that guy.

>You totally should though.

It wouldn't be so much a question of technical implementation as it is fitting it into the game world in a compelling way. Pregnancy/birth is easy for me because it would allow you to create new villagers. Body modification/growth is also easy since it lets you tailor a particular character to your preferences.

...

Maybe you could... eat villagers you really REALLY don't like?

I'll have to think on this.

>>93093

It's a fantasy world designed to appeal to fetishes, you aint gotta explain shit.

DADDY

DAAAAAAADDY

I WANT TO FUCK THAT DOG

>>93094

There's a difference between the means by which fetish is realized (explanation) and the purpose it serves in the overall framework of the game (justification).

I definitely favor not having to explain too much. If there is fast pregnancy, bloodless and uncomplicated birthing, vore, body modification, etc, it simply IS because it's videogames. If some explanation is rendered, it will be unobtrusive and just there as a little interesting something you can read at your leisure.

My concern is more "how can I make it both arousing and simultaneously interesting as a mechanic on its own?" I think that it's a missed opportunity when your game has all this sexual content and players are going to skip a lot of it not because they find it offensive but because it's simply not that interesting to them.

I'm not into vore at all. But one thing I can tell you is removing a villager in AC is a pain. It'd be fucking kind of sadistically pleasing if I could just eat them and make them disappear instead of pressuring them into moving away by roundabout means or hoping they want to leave on their own.

>>93097

ok but what about the question I asked in spoilers that you didn't answer?

>>93099

The breasts and belly work a little differently.

The breasts are shape keyed for different sizes, but also have bones for jiggling that can be resized to further expand them. It's just kind of a happy accident that the breast bones (lol) work well this way.

The belly, on the other hand... well. I could add a hyper-preg shapekey but there is a limited amount of vertices to work with, at a certain point it'll just look blocky and terrible. Let me get back to you on that.

>>93101

Yeah, seeing what you mean by it looking terrible. Which is a shame because it's not big enough for my specific interest.

>>93103

Not quite.

>>93121

Please elaborate. I need to know, now.

>>93124

Well these are just my personal tastes on things, but sizes that that can be fun for a no context but I also like the subject to have some sort of dignity to them. With the context of it being something like in your game, I'd like her to be not too big that she can't move, but big enough that she could easily pin me under her massive tits/belly and bully me into feeding her and rubbing her belly except I would be doing it regardless because I'm taking responsibility and also that shit is hot as fuck. I'd imagine that size would be big enough to almost reach the ground, so around 2-3x her body weight which is still well within hyper preg territory but still nowhere near room sized like what you posted. But as I said, this is just the personal tastes of one random asshole on the internet and you shouldn't go out of your way to cater to me or anything since it's not necessarily reflective of what other people would want.

>>93125

Well, regardless, if you can find me a picture of your ideal size I can see if I can get the shapekey close-ish to that for shits and giggles.

>>93126

I'm actually kind of busy myself at the moment so I don't really have time to search for something, and the other things I'm doing kinda take priority atm. All I can really say is a diameter of 1/2 to 3/4 her height or so? If you can't do it based on that then don't worry about it, you're not obligated to do something for some random asshole on the internet, even if you are viewing it as a thanks for input or something

>>92802

If I may suggest, I havent seen any ear movements in any of the things so far, But I would suggest to include them if you havent planned to already, a few mapped movements can make a huge effect on expressions since anthros have the longer ears to show emotions that are more subtle on human faces

>>92899

Gimmy an option to remove 'em, and I'd be happy.

>>93143

This, ear twitches are a nice touch.

>>93178

Other mannerisms like panting and leg twitches during belly rubs are also great.

Lots of progress being made, but it's mostly technical stuff.

Implementing rooms, actors, items, and unique ids for them that will (hopefully) allow me to configure and set up the world from the game editor I'm writing.

My goal is for the content-creation process to be as painless as possible for both myself and anyone I might have assisting me in the future. If I want to make a new npc, I'd like to be able to snap them together from existing components and drop them into the world without having to touch any code, and any code that I do write is isolated from the game and won't mess anything else up.

>>93268

How close are you from being able to generate other characters?

>>93272

It's hard to say.

Right now the system only accommodates associating a prefabricated character with a given actor. The second I finish the actor/room/item system I'm going to try to generate some content that's mostly text, light on the visuals.

Once I'm confident that the content creation workflow is solid to where I can create an interaction, a room, or a character easily, then I'll be ready to start making more models for them.

On that note, this is a very difficult process for me, mostly because I've never built anything quite like this before, and I tend to get racked with indecision on how a feature should look because I'm afraid it's going to be super ugly trying to go back and fix it later down the line.

>>93287

>racked with indecision on how a feature should look because I'm afraid it's going to be super ugly trying to go back and fix it later down the line

You can always post it here and run it by us faggots for what its worth.

>>93287

Also I found a good size ref if you still want to do that thing.

>>93304

Yes please.

>>93291

It's mostly tool stuff that will never be seen by the end-user. I'm making a sort of entity ID system similar to what bethesda RPGs use so I can easily create new actors, items, rooms, with unique IDs and reference them accordingly.

>>93316

Bit awkward but the image in question was on e621 and I didn't bother to save it at the time, and e621 seems to be down as of literally 10 minutes ago.

>>93318

Good man. I will keep this in my references folder for the future.

Damn, son. This actually looks like a project that I wouldn't mind backing if I wasn't broke. I really dig the cel shading.

>>93327

Hey, no worries. I don't even have a demo yet, so I'm not expecting anything.

Best way anyone can support me right now is to just follow me on Twitter.

How would you feel about something like all content in the base game being basic and vanilla, but having some extra mod packs that can be downloaded to add other stuff (feet, vore etc) while leaving it open so other people could make their own stuff? The idea of being able to easily modify this game to my exact preferences is kinda the big driving appeal to me here.

>>93340

given the way I'm structuring all the code, I'm fairly certain I've created a good foundation for modding in content similar to how you can make avatars for vrchat in unity.

So yes, I do believe that can be arranged.

>>93346

Awesome.

wens the hyper preg model tho?

>>93360

Well at least you're making progress.

Good news! Thanks to careful planning, the game entity system I created appears to both saves and loads perfectly excepting a few minor properties that I'll have to override.

This means I can update my checklist

Tools:

[(medium) 80%] Actor/Item/Room creator

[(easy) 0%] Script template generator

[(medium)0%] map-maker (something that can easily allow me to just build rooms without having to input a bunch of data manually)

Persistence/Data:

[DONE] Load main game module on New Game. (It works!!!)

[(hard) 80% ] Save and load ALL game data (There's just a couple things that aren't saving correctly, but technically it saves and loads!)

[(medium) 0%] Connecting room exits when instancing rooms (this part shouldn't be too hard, just trying to wrap my head around a potential bug that will come out of careless implementation)

[(easy) 0%] Add starting room to main scenario (this is where it all really starts. once I make a proper starting room, I can build out from there)

Actual Porn:

[ wolf% ] I swear I'll get back to this soon

>>93387

Keep up the good work, this is going pretty quickely actually compared tto the dev paces I'm used to

>>93420

If he'd asked for money, this would be going waaaayyyy slower.

>>92894

I actually really like the sound you have, makes her sound weird in a cool way. Very unique would be in support of keeping it, or at least not changing it too much.

>>93422

I agree. I don't want to profit on something that doesn't exist. I know some people have a track record that gives them the confidence to accept thousands of dollars in patron pledges before they even have a game, but I simply cannot abide by that. I'd very likely become stressed out by the prospect of releasing a half-baked game to a disappointed crowd.

That said, when the first build comes out, please do throw money at me if you're satisfied with it and want to support its continued development.

>>93459

>dabbing

Please do not actually have this in the finished game.

>>93462

*implements dedicated dab button*

Big boy updates:

[DONE 100%] Actor/Item/Room creator

[(easy) 0%] Script template generator

[IN PROGRESS ~50%] map-maker (something that can easily allow me to just build rooms without having to input a bunch of data manually)

Persistence/Data:

[DONE 100%] Load main game module on New Game. (It works!!!)

[DONE 100% ] Save and load ALL game data. Pretty much done. There will be little bits I'll have to add when new features are added, but I can load and save perfectly now.

[DONE 100%] Add starting room to main scenario (this is where it all really starts. once I make a proper starting room, I can build out from there)

[IN PROGRESS 0%] Connecting room exits when instancing rooms (this part shouldn't be too hard, just trying to wrap my head around a potential bug that will come out of careless implementation)

k but whens vore tho

>>94564

>who would be getting vored, ideally?

Don't care as long as the hot wolfgirl is the pred.

>>94566

I have another question.

I don't look at a lot of vore, but I do feel like I've noticed a pattern where the only time you actually see the act happen is when the predator is macro. When it's same-size pred/prey, almost every depiction is sort of the aftermath- a distended belly, maybe a foot in the mouth.

My thinking is that there probably aren't that many people who want to see the kind of degree of jaw-unhinging that would be required to actually devour someone your own size.

Now that's all fine and dandy, I'm not judging, but it presents a bit of a conundrum, seeing as if you want to represent vore visually, you kind of also need to bring macro along with it- and if you don't want macro, then doing the visuals of same-size pred/prey would be really tricky to do without looking really weird and unrealistic. Would a vore-liker such as yourself want to see it happen matter-of-fact, or would something like a first-person prey perspective convey it well enough? Doing it that way would allow having vore without worrying about size/plausibility.

>>94573

Macro shit is boring and lame.

>My thinking is that there probably aren't that many people who want to see the kind of degree of jaw-unhinging that would be required to actually devour someone your own size.

If done properly this shit can actually be really good, but it would require a lot of 3d model fuckery to look passable, way too much for a minor thing like this.

>I'm not judging

I would be. This fetish is dumb and autistic and I hate it.

>Would a vore-liker such as yourself want to see it happen matter-of-fact, or would something like a first-person prey perspective convey it well enough?

Due to the amount of effort that would be required otherwise, just having it happen offscreen and coming back to her teasing her still struggling prey would be some good shit.

>>95878

Where's the boob slider though?

>>96406

those noses look real funny tbh.

>>93090

Since playing as a human will be default, will we

still be able to choose to play as a anthro?

And how will we move around in the game? Like in CoC or something else?

And will you add omorashi or watersports? Scat?

>>97103

how about some other poses? Ass shots, maybe?

gimmie anus

>>92802

this character is exactly as social as you'd expect someone to be from this site

>>93431

Never change.

After you have a finished product, I'm sure you'll have plenty of interest to make more. Everything looks good so far, and everyone with a fetish will want you to include it.

K but where's the giant titty wolfgirls at?

>>98452

Finally a male! Looking forward to the demo!

YES! It's time to gay it UP! Can't wait for a playable build xoxo

>>98532

And you threw a bone to faggots so the game is already dead. Good job.

>>98534

You're both faggots, this is why nobody posts here anymore

If you're this afraid of catching the gay you should probably stop watching porn altogether, man.

There's dicks everywhere.

How bold of you to assume.

>>98452

What type of rice do you eat? White rice, brown Rice, or Basmati rice? I eat the third type.

>>98563

Brown rice, for practical reasons. More fiber-rich, keeps you full longer. I've grown accustomed to the taste of it and even sort of prefer it to regular whites and basmati, but nothing beats that Japanese glutinous sticky rice.

Hello Gentle,

This is a very good project and we are very happy to have you here. We decided to pin your thread so that information on your new releases can be seen right away and to foster good creative endeavors in our community. Thank you for bringing this here and I hope this game is as successful as it deserves.

>>98588

Oh dang, thanks for that. I hope I don't disappoint.

>>98600

That's not how pinned threads work. When you post in the Meta thread it will bump above this one. The posts here are newer so this is on top.

Are there dickgirls and cuntboys or only dickboys and cuntgirls...!

>>98588

>>98600

>>98601

You need to both Pin and Bumplock the thread.

See the >>>/tech/ general support and consumer advice threads.

>>98621

I'm satisfying the base of male/female straight/gay first, everything beyond that really depends on the shape the game is taking once I've gotten there and how easy it will be for me to implement.

Too early to make promises, but I hope the planned content stands well enough on its own that anything beyond that would just be icing on the cake and not feel like something that's missing.

>>98630

If it’s another game that makes me sad by making it literally impossible to be who I am, yeah, it’ll feel like something’s missing

>>98703

So you don't have problems identifying with an anthropomorphic creature that looks, sounds, and acts nothing like you, but you'll arbitrarily draw the line at genitals?

Thinking that every piece of media has to represent every demographic is how creativity dies. Maybe you should follow suit.

>>98709

For genitals not defining gender, anon seems pretty upset

>>98710

You should literally hang yourself.

>>98703

I understand. I wish I could discuss my rationale and plans further than what was stated, but I'm wise enough to know that personal opinions and apology are potent fuel for drama fires. That isn't to say I won't at least try to answer similar questions in the future, just know that you may get a vague non-answer.

For now, the best I can offer is that when it's out you'll be able to try the game for yourself and at no cost. Make an informed decision at that point and (hopefully) you won't be disappointed!

So what will sex look like? I'm very curious how the animations will work in conjunction with text.

>>98811

The plan is to have generic scenes (sex between you and the randomly generated villagers) and unique scenes with characters who are pre-written.

All scenes would be narration + talking character bust as a placeholder, and at a minimum I would aim to have multiple animated positions/scenes for opposite and same-sex pairings.

Among other things, part of what I have planned are ways to surreptitiously get a peek at them in their private moments and potentially get scenes this way, as well. I'd also like for the option to do a little coercion/grey area stuff but I have to be careful about that since it's against patreon policy.

Indeed, the latest picture is more indicative of the kinds of colors I'd prefer. If course not every palette will be found in nature, but I'm not going to have neon sparkledogs like you see in the generator.

>>99493

Randomly generated data needs processing to make it appear less like random noise and more like something natural (or artificial), dumbass. It's not a huge issue to restrict the palette or at least to mute the colors.

Do you need a writer?

Had a planned delay in development. Currently hosting a guest for the last couple of weeks and I didn't want to make them uncomfortable by working on this while they're in my house. I'll be free by next Monday when I reasons development in earnest.

Do you have something like Artificial Academy in mind? Like, procedural dating sim? That would be awesome, there isnt enough of that kind of games out there.

I can't wait to poison a Furry Cowgirl's waterhole

Just spent a day wrestling with a very annoying problem.

Without getting into the gory technical details, Unity's editor and C# both handle saving data differently, which is to say C# is better at it and Unity's editor isn't nearly as robust and I had to spend some time working around it.

The end result has two implications:

1) I can now (finally) store any arbitrary property I want on an actor/item/room much the same way you can in a language like JavaScript. This way an actor only has the variables it needs rather than deriving from some monolithic base "actor" class packed with variables that will only be used by some actors.

2) I can now reference said properties in the dialogue easily with some tags, thus tying together a ton of work I've put into this monstrosity. This means I can create dialogues that permanently affect the state of actors and objects AND will be fully saved when you save your game. Hurray.

I also moved dialogue into a convenient xml file so if for SOME reason someone finds this worth translating, you could hypothetically implement a translation without too much fuss.

>>102728

That's awesome news, with the way that started I was expecting bad news of the sort like:

"I have to start from scratch"

Keep up the good work, even if /fur/ is dead, you dont have to be

Man, impressive stuff so far with you being a solo dev and all.

Not sure if this has been discussed about before. With how versetile the actor setup is so far, what is the plan for characters? Are a majority of them going to be very unqiue, with their own personalities, quirks, etc. Or are they going to be more procedural with pre-set personalities, a pool of different possible names, and stuff like that?

How smutty will things get?

Great, another soon-to-be Rack 2 clone. Good job OP, in three years you'll be trying to explain how that new Ferrari you bought instead of the animation/gamedev/Unity/rigging/modelling/anatomy/literallyanythingelse courses and/or a dev team helps development of the game.

>>103757

Also I don't understand how is this pinned, we didn't see anything yet and it's barely a game at this point in time. It could end up being total shit. I guess the admins got really hooked on that wolf girl

Oh, shut the fuck up, I heard this excuse so many times it's insane how you apologists keep clinging on to it. It's a scam, and he's laughing at you, counting his Benjamins while you keep being blind to his utter failure of meeting the bare minimum requirements in the commitment and QC departments. Jesus fuck, he even says so himself and you still turn a blind eye to it. It's not like he needs to hold a normal day job, now does he? He's not starving either, so "muh time" is literally not an excuse.

>>103873

>>103871

>you haven't communicated anything other than your disdain for another developer and another project I have absolutely no connection to.

I have drawn parallels between you and him because his is the most blatant and shameless case of an ongoing furry scam project as of today, which, among other things, also originated on imageboards as an "innocent" project.

I thought it would've been pretty obvious, so I just threw it out there, but apparently people needed me to spell it out for them, and it degenerated. Now we're here.

And yeah, I'm also pretty fucking pissed off about someone throwing away the opportunity to make something beneficial for everyone because of greed and incompetence and furry stupidity AND then profiting from it, so since I see you're dangerously close to going pretty much exactly the same route, don't be so surprised. Feel free to prove me wrong and then rub it in my face, it would benefit literally fucking everyone, including me.

You wanted some grievances?

How about dropping the hideous cartoon shading? What's the point of having something 3D in the first place when you don't even show the forms at all because they all look little more than silhouettes filled with a solid color? Or, at least some color variation and/or some lighting baked in the textures just so it literally isn't just a single color bucket fill? Also avoiding VGA colors and pure white/black? You haven't really shown much else.

>>103892

>Drop the Cartoon shading

What? I fucking like that shit, What's currently being shown reminds me a bit of Sindoll's work, honestly the only suggestion I would have is to doubledown on that shit and polish it up, I know there's a few Unity tools or lighting Techniques to give it that "Anime" look, something akin to GGXrd. Maybe make it a little brighter and the contours a little more bordered If you're gonna go full Kemono.

>>103894

>muh anime look

Hopeless.

>>103892

>How about dropping the hideous cartoon shading?

Cartoon shading is fine.

>>103898

This game clearly isn't to your tastes then.

>>103892

>I have drawn parallels between you and him because his is the most blatant and shameless case of an ongoing furry scam project as of today

Drawing parallels doesn't make you a prophet if the attributes you're using as a point of comparison aren't relevant or provable for both parties.

>bad art

I can grant you that my art may not be up to your standards. Fair enough. But bad art has no bearing on whether the software works, and if you can see my art now, then you know what to expect as a baseline. There's nothing deceptive or scummy about that.

>bad code, bugs, etc

You have no actual way of knowing or verifying this.

>distaste for my written 'personality'

Not even relevant.

>yes men

>>103901

I wish I had a polished, finished, high production value, quality furry game to compare you to, but I DON'T, because THERE ISN'T ONE.

We're basically gambling on whether you won't decide to go down the same path everyone else before you did or not. Pessimism is not just expected, it's required.

>But bad art has no bearing on whether the software works

No, but it has bearing on whether a game is worth one's time (and money) or not. This isn't some obscure vending machine script or whatever where shit just needs to work in order to be passable. No point in using a visual medium when you intend to half-ass the visual part because "muh software still works", right? Could've just made a text CYOA if that's the case.

>>10389

Want to go BoTW-style? It's way harder to pull off than more "traditional" shading and since OP already said he's struggling a bit art-wise, it sounds like a really poor decision. But by all means, be my fucking guest, but that is a long ass way from being anywhere near BoTW and it's flatter than a witch's tits.

But of course, keep deluding yourself that it's "just a matter of taste", so you can feel better about yourself showing that big bad meanie anon on 8chan who's boss.

>>103892

The dev hasn't made money from it at all. He vowed not to take money as this is a hobbyist project.

>How about dropping the hideous cartoon shading?

Have you done 3d stuff before? PBR texturing takes longer, occupies more hard drive space, and ram. It also tanks the performance of mobile ports. Cellshading has it's place as it's performance friendly.

I get that you're aiming to be AAA, but it's not a smart idea to limit your potential consumers for a niche indie game.

>>103938

>The dev hasn't made money from it at all.

We were talking about different devs then. I assumed the remark about the time needed wasn't about OP, since he's been at it for only 5 months.

>Have you done 3d stuff before?

>PBR texturing takes longer

I R O N I C

Yeah, PBR texturing takes longer.

Let's talk about "lookdev", instead.

>>103934

>>103939

You work in VFX, right? Your workflows are completely different.

Vidya really about the design and performance, art is just a bonus. If your game is unplayable from bad design or performance, then the art won't save it at all. You don't need to have good art the first time you start deving, that would be a waste of time. You need to have a rough before you replace it.

Try making simple stuff like pong or asteroids in Godot, Unity, or Unreal by looking at the documentation. I think it's kind of smart that the dev went for cellshading as he could go for a mobile port that could run on all devices. GLES2 runs well on most hardware, but it doesn't support materials which suuuucks.

>>103940

>You don't need to have good art the first time you start deving, that would be a waste of time. You need to have a rough before you replace it.

You know what is an even bigger waste of time? Half-assing the art, justify it by claiming it's a rough and then planning to redo it from scratch at some unspecified point down the line when it would be an even bigger PITA to do.

You don't do facial rigging on "roughs", you dingus.

>art is just a bonus

lmfao m8.

Cartoon style isn't just "slap random full sat color on character and call it a day". The meme that it's easier to make than realistic needs to die already, it's been going on way too long and it's never been funny. Of course, it's much faster to half-ass than realistic, but we're assuming we're striving for some standards at least, aren't we?

I think this game is a great idea!

I hope there will be an option to play as either a male or female character preferably not just one or the other.

I also hppe the choices of partner include multiple genders as well, that way it could cater to basically everyone's tastes.

You used CoC as a great example and your game's graphics are already way more advanced than that (last time I played CoC, it has been a few years).

Anyway your art is great, it would be cool if people can choose from a variety of species like canine, equine, feline, and maybe a few other cool ones like tigers, hyenas, wolves. Animal crossing sets a good standard for variety there.

Maybe have the option to establish relationship levels with different NPCs and if they like you they will stick around and if not somebody else shows up?

Wondering about the intimate scenes like what sex acts will be included and what are the player's optipns?

>>105535

It's actually a reference to the main character John Furie Zacharias, aka "Gentle" in Clive Barker's Imajica.

Good smutty book.

>>98703

What the actual fuck.

I thought transgender people were doing it because they feel, truly, like a male or female (opposite of their birth sex) and that was why they did the hormones, the surgeries, the dramatic social drama that usually accompanies changing sex.

So if it was worth all of that in real life, why in the world would you want to be a hermaphrodite in the game?

Don't transmen wish they had average-sized and naturally erectile penises that could ejaculate semen and transwomen wish they at least had the option to menstruate or give birth...or choose not to.

Even in their fantasies, do transgender people desire having substances administered and body parts removed? Decoratory sex organs and atypical secondary sex characteristics of the face and body?

Most people who aren't masochostic would probably want to decrease all of that. But what you are suggesting implies that transgender people do not think of themselves as either men or women - that they identify as a third and fourth sex and at some level they specifically desire the above 'obstacles' to their 'real selves'.>>987

Sorry for the long absence, I know people are getting antsy about me having a sticky here with sparse progress. (to be fair... I never asked for it, but I also didn't object either!)

I'll keep it brief: I got a job, then I quit the job, and now I have a lot of free time between doing odd gigs to stay afloat. I'm not asking for money or anything, just filling you in on where the time has gone.

I've also been taking a look at what I've built so far and realized I was over-scoping the project for very little gain. I'm not trying to build a rack-2 style everything-you-can-imagine fuck-sim. I've determined that going the dynamic model route is going to diminish the overall quality of the model versus actually hand-making models for different morph types, and the gains don't seem worth it.

To bring the scope back, I think I'm going to focus on making unique characters. I'm not going to completely can the idea of generics, but in the interest in getting something playable and interesting out further, I feel like most players would prefer characters over blank-slate sim-like vessels.

>>110529

POST PROGRESS YOU FUCKIN NERD

>>110529

I don't blame you. Game dev takes tremendously long to do. Still working on the isometric shooter stuff

>>110529

> I'm not asking for money or anything

Don't worry, because even if you were, rack 2 has proven that even when given at least one order of magnitude more funding than 100% of all indie games that have ever existed (excluding those few which were sold to other big studios or became their own studio like Star Citizen which can hardly be called "indie" anymore), furries still manage to fuck it all up, miss deadlines, not deliver on promises, have less complexity and worse visuals than other indie games born, developed and released by solo devs on a hundredth of the budget, entirely within its time in development hell, and effectively turn it into a husk of a vaporware which only purpose is to serve as a retirement fund, to the implicit admittance of the "author' themselves and the explicit admittance of their own mismanagement and incompetence, ALL the while furries defending them with regurgitated excuses like game dev taking a long time or not having an AAA budget.

>>111365

I don't blame them for being lazy since game dev is pretty tough. A lot of indies collaborate for that reason. If they can get over six figures a year from a prototype while playing DND like Notch did, then more power to them.

Try making your own to understand. One that's released mind you.

>>111443

By your own admission, I literally don't have to, since it's okay to just make vaporware to be entitled to payment.

>>111479

>retribution

I think you meant restitution, if they expected retribution then they probably wouldn't scam people.

>>111479

>What the fuck is wrong with you

I should ask you, why do you invest so much time into things that you can't control? For the record, I'm not the one complaining about fek for 4+ years on 8ch and u18. You could have created several completed games with the time that you use to whine about people making six figures. Envy is a complete waste of time.

Knowing you, you're going to defend your useless activity only to fail like you always do. Go ahead and don't learn anything new if that's what you want.

>By your own admission, I literally don't have to, since it's okay to just make vaporware to be entitled to payment.

That's a long winded way of saying that you're a nodev. You're telling me that you haven't even worked on pong?

>>111543

Furries tend to form these cults around artists and devs that made their pee pees hard a few times to the point where they suddenly become infallible in their eyes.

That and the artists/devs themselves tend to browse various communities just to defend themselves and screech at people who complain, even on communities as tiny as this one.

I mean, what else are they gonna do? Work on the stuff they were getting paid to make :^)?

I'm not even exaggerating the cult part, look up how cults operate and you'll see some pretty striking parallels with some artists and their fans

>>111582

People respect content creators in general because content takes more effort than passive aggressively whining in kiwifarms or imageboards.

No one would ever form a mass following for contrarian anti-social failures like you. Your retort will be, "I'm successful and better than everyone!", which begs the question as to why such a successful person like yourself would obsessively rant about a person making six figures from a porn game.

>>111543

>Sounds more like you're lumping together a whole bunch of people into a single one just because they all share a perfectly reasonable complaint which you disagree with, and pretending it's all the same person makes it easier to dismiss it.

Forgive me for believing that there could be more than one person with zero clue with what they're talking about.

>I still don't get it though, why is that merely mentioning having a beef with people not delivering products they are getting paid six figures to do because they sit on their asses all day instead is so outrageous while people not delivering products they are getting paid six figures to do because they sit on their asses all day instead are not and are a perfectly tolerable and justified notion?

It's fully justified because their consumers gave them money to do exactly that. This isn't just exclusive to the fandom either. Welcome to the free market.

Also: They delivered a product and they're working on it. Pretty normal thing in software development. Nothing is ever finished as it's continuously developed.

>>111648

You're still lumping together multiple people into one.

>muh free murkit

Consumers being stupid, uninformed and deluded isn't a valid excuse.

Jasonafex isn't an animator just because he and his circlejerk say so and throw money at him. And also, he's an anti-social narcissist with a cult following, to boot.

He's not an animator just like drawing mspaint-tier crap doesn't make you an artist, just like coding hello world doesn't make you a programmer, just like pulling some vertices around doesn't make you a 3d artist and just like mashing together a bunch of free assets and a few subpar custom ones in Unity doesn't make you a game developer.

I think that much was clear, unless you're part of the stupid, uninformed and deluded crowd yourself.

Not much of a surprise there, since not even their multiple public admissions of their own insolvency and incompetence were enough to convince you. I just hoped I wasn't talking to yet another npc.

And isn't it queer how such a great product doesn't get talked about more often?

Oh, but of course your psychotic excuse is that there would be haters, or rather, that one hater you're obsessed with.

I don't know, really. I work full-time and hadn't had a chance to catch up.

>>111698

>fag (possibly the artist himself) sucks artists dick despite the fact artist hasn't put anything out or done any work even though he's gotten hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so

>other fags (me included) have their blood pressure increase for a bit until we get over the fact cultists exist and move on

It's all meaningless anyway, retards will continue to paypig for zero return on their investment while defending the person who is scamming them to the death.

The only thing that matters is nobody who isn't a retard is losing any money.

>>111708

There is little value in criticizing people who have made it abundantly clear that they're not receptive to the opinions of others. It might be entertaining to make a show of dragging the Tim Buckleys of the world through the mud, but at the end of the day all you've demonstrated is that you can identify obvious problems. You could spend all that time and energy creating something so great, its mere existence would be its own scathing indictment of poor craftsmanship and work ethic.

>>111687

>You're still lumping together multiple people into one.

Nah. I even stated that's plenty of people like you.

>Consumers being stupid, uninformed and deluded isn't a valid excuse. Jasonafex isn't an animator just because he and his circlejerk say so and throw money at him. And also, he's an anti-social narcissist with a cult following, to boot. He's not an animator just like drawing mspaint-tier crap doesn't make you an artist, just like coding hello world doesn't make you a programmer, just like pulling some vertices around doesn't make you a 3d artist and just like mashing together a bunch of free assets and a few subpar custom ones in Unity doesn't make you a game developer.

Jasonafex doesn't have anything to do with fek, but that's besides the point. The issue doesn't lie with creators at all. As a creator who has followed your advice faithfully for years, I can tell you that it doesn't work. I have no regrets drawing requests, offering demos, or rejecting auctions/YCHs. However, people still don't respect you as this "based honorable ethical businessman". Instead, the majority of them will try to exploit you and insult you as much as possible while leaving you in complete obscurity. And I don't blame the consumers for it, how can you give value to people who don't value themselves at all?

Ridicule Jasonafex or fek all you want, you remember and mention their names more over those who don't do what you're complaining about.

I do agree that the fandom should strive to become better and benevolent, but most people don't reward those at all. I don't blame anyone for being exploitative if people treat you like complete shit regardless of what you do. At least you get cash, exposure, and free time out of one option.

>>111712

I could, but I'd rather beat off to mediocre drawings of wolf girls while fantasizing about sniffing their armpits and then coming to this thread to argue with cultists afterward.

>>111719

to each his own, i guess!

>>111733

She looks like she has no fur, because she's so shiny.

>>111718

>As a creator who has followed your advice faithfully for years

you fucking wot, china

>And I don't blame the consumers for it, how can you give value to people who don't value themselves at all?

If I'm understanding correctly, being honest with your self-evaluation isn't rewarded at all, unlike tooting your own horn?

Still,

>Claiming to have value =/= being valuable

So the easiest course of action is to just become objectively more valuable than those tooting their own horn and do the same. At that point, nobody could neither argue you aren't valuing yourself nor that you're just tooting your own horn.

But at that point, you're also probably qualified to have a real art job.

>>111712

>creating something so great, its mere existence would be its own scathing indictment of poor craftsmanship and work ethic.

This is why I said this concerns you as well.

You better be making that fucking something here.

>>111782

Yeah, I'm aware. I'm trying to implement anisotropic highlights so that her fur actually shines like fur is supposed to. Once I figure it out I'm gonna be so happy.

>>111831

Most animals don't actually have shiny fur. Some do, but many don't. So I feel even a matte texture would be better.

>>111935

The darker and shorter the coat, the more noticeable it's going to be. There's also hair, which up until this point lacked their characteristic highlights.

>>111976

God, I wish those milkers were on my head. RIGHT NOW

so, whats up with that?

Believe it or not I'm still alive.

>>112214

I'm glad you're still around

Did someone PM you to let you know the site was back or were you keeping tabs yourself?

>>112215

I was keeping tabs. I knew this place would come back eventually.

>>112216

Any new progress on the game since the shutdown?

>>112557

>>112557

yiffalicious still exists. i stopped caring about it because they decided to not allow cubs in their stupid game.

>>112557

>So now 5-6 years later the OP whom doesn't seem to be promising more than he can deliver or selling anything and seems willing to share updates about his project here is getting caught up in old drama he has nothing to do with.

Now you see why most devs go for the money despite having nothing more than a character controller. You have two choices behind doing a project:

>less drama+money

<no money+ more drama.

Being transparent, cool, competent, and benevolent doesn't earn you extra respect or popularity. If anything, people repeatedly treat you like shit because you don't grant value to yourself regardless of what effort you put in. They also feel that they can mold you into what they personally want. It's easy to please one person, but it's going to be hard to do it with several that have contradictory interests. That's why creators go for mass appeal despite it being cliche and predictable.

Ironically, I see less drama with paid unfinished projects that nickel and dime people than free/completed ones that listen to their consumers. It shouldn't be that way, but that's how it unfortunately is. If you listen to talks (like vid related at 27:35), then you'll hear plenty of devs imply that consumers have poor convictions when it comes to taking a stand. Just do your own thing and do whatever it takes to do it well.

thread unsticky pls

>>112704

Sure, the board is slow enough now. Plus the kobold project is a thing too

>>113079

Thanks. :D

>>113747

>deletes his own side of the conversation

>tells a story entirely in greentext calling other person insane

ok

>>113747

>impotent dolphin cuck schizo

>calling anyone else insane

lmao

>>113747

If your first instinct was to leak and smear him publicly, then I can see why he banned you.

Whether he overreacted or not, you don't impulsively act maliciously when there's a misunderstanding. You either shrug it off or try to resolve things. Instead, you omit your logs and username so that everyone can take your side.

If you have to hide your own logs to paint yourself as a saint, then you know that you aren't a good person.

>>113767

>>113753

So in your own words,.he deletes everything on the reg because he is not a good person and he knows this

>>113767

You joked about breaking into his house while using an alias and joking about needing more info to fully dox him, so that's probably why he found you hostile.

If a long time friend joked about killing you, you would shrug it off and laugh with them. If a complete stranger did while knowing your identity and using an alias after stating that he needs more information to fully dox you, then you'd think it's suspicious.

is this thread locked?

Wanted to request that this thread be deleted (or archived) so I can re-launch it when I release a demo/first version. Stuff here isn't really indicative of what the final product will have in it.

>>113786

deleting it seems autistic. but you could request an anchor i guess?

>>113786

I can anchor or lock it now if you want. But feel free to make the new thread when you're ready and I'll do something about this one, whether that be locking or deleting. I'll take an archive beforehand.

>>113786

>or archived

Anchor/archived makes most sense. Bumplocked thread will go away on its own soon enough.

:3

>>113793

Anchor sounds good, then. Thanks much.

i want to plant flowers and trees and beautify the landscape inbetween fucking

So is this project dead or is development just going extremely slowly?
