December!

Hello, hello.

I'll write fewer words and show more pictures instead in this status update.

But I will say, 0.57.1.1, the latest Patreon version, has a shitload of fixes. I played through literally everything, *except the specials, and fixed a ton of stuff. It was time-consuming, but worth it.

For 0.57.2:
As mentioned before , it's time to spice up the town and add more events and interactions with the Townspeople! I think first out will be more post-mission interviews with the Guild/Town Hall Girl/Mission Madame, which might or might not get out of hand. Many titles for that one. And perhaps I'll remake the Prologue animation for Gobihime (previously Goblinette) using my new blender skills. It's kinda low-quality (you can see the polygons on her buttocks) and first impressions are important.

As mentioned before nr2, switching to Blender for animation/modelling meant I had to remake (and improve) the models for the Townspeople. I'm maybe 85% done, so here are some sneak peaks for you!

Please note that a a bunch of the hairs/eyelashes, and some other small parts, are just temporary placeholders. So if you spot something strange, you know why.

If you are somehow interested in what the hair-making process is like, here's an hour long tutorial for the tool that I'm using: Youtube:

Also, there are certain limitations to what can be posted in a Public Patreon post :-)
You'll find additional previews on the Discord Preview channel.

(So if you miss some characters, you know why)

The Bar Maid
And uhhh, ignore the feet. I think need to fix the normal map or the uvs or something.

GG. You preferred purveyor of high quality goods and lockpicks. In her finest outfit.
Ignore the lines, I forgot to hide the light markers.

 
The armor/outfit of the owner of the armor/outfit shop.
Blonde, glasses, strange behaviour, maybe you remember her.
As you can see I went for a very practical and realistic type of armor.
Especially the heeled 'sabatons'.


The 'Mission Madame'
An all together very wholesome and pleasant person.


Check out those seams!

 The Smith
Perhaps a bit too shiny at the moment, I'm testing some things with the skin shader.
Notice the 'lil hammer.


Everyone's favorite Sorceress, along with her pipe. (It's even got animated smoke)
Purple.
Make sure to admire the feather cape, it was annoying to make it.

Anyway, Merry Christmas or whatever it you're up to during this time of the year.
See you with the next update, hopefully soon!
