Quick update on Woman Transformation Sequence

Added 2023-08-05 13:09:44 +0000 UTC

Hey guys,

I shared in the recent release post that one of the features we've been working on - an overhaul on the True Wish: Woman transformation sequences - was postponed by a few days as we couldn't get quite everything ready for the deadline.

Over the last few days I have been putting regular hours into this scene, but it has quite the complexity when it comes to having all the moving parts come together without visual glitches and in a responsive way. It is one of the most complex scenes we've put together in terms of number of assets - combining body type, body features, expressions, accessories, and more.

It is coming together and the transformations are pretty much done - for ONE of the possible body types. It's not difficult work, but it is finnicky and time intensive and requires lots of testing.

As I'm writing this on a Saturday afternoon I'm thinking of everything I'd like to include in the scene - from piercings (which alone present 27 variants - 3 types per 3 breasts per 3 bodies), to general polish to how the scene plays out and how the text is presented with the body changes.

I feel like rolling things partially would make for a more awkward scene than the base flat placeholder currently in place. For this reason, I've decided to move the feature to the next patch - 0.4.11 - so we can have the time to properly polish and test all variants and deliver the whole transformation overhaul in a finished state.

You can expect the patch to be frozen and DL versions rolled out shortly, but just wanted to give you a heads up that this won't be in and let you know why.

See you at the end of this month,

Vince
