Next milestone reached!

Over the past few weeks, I've been working on the game as much as possible. I finally removed all traces of the old Hannah model and replaced her completely with her improved successor. To do this, I had to recreate some last animations with the new model and rework the remaining parts of the existing story chapters involving Hannah. I did improve a few details and fix some minor bugs, which improved the overall quality of the chapters, but despite all the work I couldn't show you anything new.

But now I can show you something new! As I mentioned in the past, removing the old concept for the girls I chose at the beginning of the project will open up new possibilities and is necessary in order to integrate more advanced elements into the game. And all of this is now beginning to pay off.

Now that I've brought the game this far, I've kept my promise and started developing a character editor for the girls, reaching another milestone on the roadmap! So today, I can finally show you the first screenshots. Exclusively for you, I have also recorded a 3-minute video in which I play around with the first editor parameters. And I find it amazing how much the girls' appearance can already be changed with just the few parameters I have implemented so far.

Developing an entire character editor from scratch is no easy task, and it's impossible to do it solo in just a few weeks. But I managed to get the first prototype up and running! I've already developed all the concepts needed to create a neat and powerful tool that lets you customize your own girls.

I decided to start with the eyes and some basic hair features. Soon, many more settings will be added, such as lips, eyelashes, brows, makeup - everything you can imagine to change the girls' appearance as you wish. Later, you will of course also be able to edit the girls' clothing in the editor.

From a technical perspective, I learned a lot while creating a color picker and I also familiarized myself with programming my own shaders (which I did for the eyes).

I hope you like the progress so far and agree with me that this editor will add a whole new dimension to the game. As you can see from the user interface, there is plenty of space that is just waiting to be filled with even more features!

I'm incredibly happy that the game has reached this point. And I can only thank you once again for your support! Because without you, the game would never have come this far. You are simply amazing!

The next step for me now is to develop a mechanism for saving all currently customizable parameters and all future ones. And then I need to find a nice way to integrate the new editor into the game world. I already have a good idea, which I will present to you as soon as I'm done with it!
