Got sick (but game update)

I caught a cold like 3 days ago, was feeling pretty crappy but feeling better, the cold is passing. It was hard for me to focus on animation while being sick... so instead I did work on the game (idk why but it was taking my mind off of being sick more than anything else). Here's a time lapse of me working on Rinzo's (the zebra guy) FMV model. I captured pretty much the entire process from drawing to finished sfw model. (except drawing the clothes which I forgot to have recording for)

Pretty happy with how he turned out! Also that time lapse was over the course of a few days, I'd work on animation stuff most of the day then do some working on his model. What kind of inspired me to finally make his fmv model was this donkey guy I was working on back in 2017, when I first dabbling in 3d character modeling (with intention for it to be lewd)

Honestly it's not terrible but it's clear I was still a newb at characters (I had only modeled mostly house-hold objects and environments, hard surface stuff basically up to that point). The topology is very... not good so I scrapped the body and ended up redoing most of the head (like it's basically not the same model but it was satisfying taking an old thing and giving it new life years and years later)

That was back in the Blender 2.79 days (maybe 2.8 was out by then? Can't remember but I stuck with 2.7x for a long time because it had the old "Blender Internal" renderer which I liked more than Cycles at the time).

I also try working some other old stuff into the model (such as hand I modeled and a flip-flop I made that still holds up really well today) you can see that more in the time lapse vid.

But here he is! I still need to do proper ears (and maybe add some texture to the hat but... I think the simple, no texture look kinda works??)

Here's the concept art I did for naked, underwear and clothed! I was thinking about a 4skin for him when he's soft buuuut might just have none... not sure yet.

I also finished the NSFW version of his model!

Another quick, kinda trash test pose (btw Fregus' still needs some work, it's a pain to pose his ears and the meat needs some work) but this what it might look like for them to be strokin' it together...

Rinzo's meat is WLK_MEAT Horse by the amazing Wolke. I modified it to attach to his body and blend the material with the body material. Looks pretty good on him. If you do 3d stuff I highly recommend checking out Wolke's stuff. Great base meshes for characters and their meat.

He also has hole! I'll probably change it around a bit though but it is there.

Btw I recorded the process of modeling the hole (and attaching the meat)! I'd like to do some narration over it explaining the process and stuff but my throat is still kind of messed up from the cold (I'm really hoping sunday I can do some talking over it).

Also this is from a bit ago and I'm pretty sure I didn't share it (maybe I did but either way I think it turned out good enough to share again if that's the case!), some concept art for Kiroth (leader of the bunch)

I also did quite a bit of stuff with the environments. Here's the exterior of Fregus' Mom's house, this one really helped me nail down the art style and vibe the game should of have!

*However I didn't model the house, it was from a pack of American style homes I found on cgtrader for cheap:

Same with the trees in most of these renders, I bought those on cgtrader (unfortunately some weren't native to blender or were intended for game engines so I had to redo the materials but it gave me a chance to customize the shading more to my liking)

Exterior of Kiroth's place (still kinda wip):

(this was started from another model from a long time ago I never finished!)

Exterior of the "fun" shack:

Interior of the shack:

Freak street (WIP!):

I've got a few others but they're still pretty placeholder-box-y. Honestly, the game feels pretty cool, walking around, going to places... idk if it's time for an updated playable thing yet though. Maybe when I finish most of the backgrounds so I can feed back on the vibes of the town (but right now it's not ready for a true vibes reading since some places are like this lol)

Here's some screen shots! It's kind of cool how it looks like an actual game now sometimes.

Here's a screenshot showing some various needs objects I've made too! (though a lot of these are repurposed models from my sfw game dev stuff, finding new life in my nsfw game dev stuff)

Looking at all these screenshots, out of all the games I've ever tried making in all the years of my meandering attempts at games (both sfw and nsfw), this is the best looking game I've ever made. I'm extremely happy with how the visual style looks.

One more thing, I'm working with a great 2d artist who draws a lot of beautiful babes to help me with visualizing Fregus' Mom! She won't appear in the demo but... well I want to model a hot rabbit milf babe, maybe she makes an appearance in a pic you can look at somewhere.

There's still some stuff that far-ish behind progress wise. Still need to implement some more menus for the main menu, lots of dialogue needs to be written (and conversations implemented), I need to actually make the animations for Rinzo interacting with needs objects, at least 1 lewd animated cutscene (and for that I still need to finish 3 other character models...)
