Hey folks. This week I've been playing with an indicator system for when you're doing well in . . .generating arousal, vs when you're inducing pain. The facial animations are pretty good, but I didn't feel like it was enough of an indicator, really.
I didn't really want just a bar that...

I've wanted console commands for a long time. It's silly, but having access to such a system in other games always makes me feel teh 1337 H4XX0R. I enjoy it more when cheats are entered through console commands vs any other system. I'd had no idea how to even approac...

When I went back to the higher quality character meshes, I lost the facial expressions. So, that's what I spent this week on, getting those back in and looking appropriate.
The higher poly count mesh really let met get good wrinkles into the forehead which is pretty nice.

The interaction controller is made up of about a dozen scripts that are part of a package I purchased quite a while ago. It's awesome. However when the hand is holding the penis, it creates a cyclical dependency. That is, the angle of the hand is dependent on the angle of the penis...

A little more refinement on the textures to get a variable "wetness" going on. Good for rain, oil or whatever. The clothing aspect isn't finished yet, but I'm pleased with the skin.
Other than that, most of the week was spent on refining and simplifying the current sexual interactions....

Finally, I've figured out why the models were looking very dated. There's a Unity option for lighting mode that made a world of difference in how the shaders are processed as visible in the above. Skin doesn't look all plastic-y anymore. I am quite pleased with that.

I've got the basic emotion buttons implemented. These won't be the only expressions in the game, but they're a good mix to see how the face looks.
Also, now with expressions you can see the teeth and edit them.

Steganography. That's what I've spent this week on. Steganography is the hiding of a secret message within an ordinary message and the extraction of it at its destination.

So after finally getting the complex hair system to work (more of less), I've decided not to use it. It's a bit too complicated and a bit too performance intensive. Add to that, it broke the 3rd party hair system. I've submitted the issue to that dev, but apparently it'll take a wh...
