WEEKLY POST - March 2nd 2025 - Elena's new animated sprite

Hey everybody! I feel like this Weekly post deserves to be seen by everybody in case you're a silent follower who hasn't joined the gremz, hobz or gobz, wondering "is this guy actually working on his fucking game or is he just jerking off?!"

The official answer is : "I can do both, it's called multi-tasking."

In any case, this week in the above video, I'm showcasing to everybody the (pretty much) finished animated sprite for Chapter 1 Elena clothed.

Some key differences:

• Overall, the new AI model I used for this new sprite looks (in my humble opinion) better. It has more details, it's better proportioned, and it's in a better angle relative to the viewer.

• Her whole body (including her head) is now properly heaving when she breathes, whereas the old sprite has her head completely static.

• I was able to squeeze a couple of more extreme / expressive mouth shapes, while the old sprite had all its mouth shapes animated by twisting the smile, which was quite limiting.
I still have some learning/experimenting to do on that front for future sprites, as it's difficult to nail down.

• Although this sprite no-longer has the animations to show the magazine or the serum-injector-gun (because they're no longer needed), I was able to properly use a feature which allows me to turn on/off various hand poses to complement some facial expressions.

• I don't show it in the video, but I could turn on/off the clothes of the old sprite. For the new one, I decided that I would make a dedicated sprite for Chapter 1 Elena nude, one where she would look like she's uncomfortable and would hide her privates, before the FMG scene begins.

Ultimately, I think you will all agree that it's an improvement over the old sprite.

In the next weeks, I will show my cool followers more animated sprites. When I get to it, they will get sneak peeks at some NSFW stuff.
Although, next, I will probably focus my attention on a male character called Johan.

If you're still on the fence about joining the Gremz, Hobz and Gobz, know that every little bit helps. The closer I get to being able to make a living out of this, the better I can focus on developping cool games for everybody!
