Dear friends!
It\u2019s time for another progress report.<\/p>

I don\u2019t have any new teasers today, because I haven\u2019t been creating new images or animations \u2013 I\u2019ve been busy with other things these weeks.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

A huge thank-you to Peach Enthusiast<\/strong> \u2013 thanks to his efforts, Beauty and the Thug<\/em> is now listed in GOG\u2019s Dreamlist<\/strong>.<\/p>

I have one big request: please vote for my game<\/strong> \u2013 it\u2019s very important to me and won\u2019t take much time.

I\u2019ve talked about Amy\u2019s rules before, so I won\u2019t repeat the details today. To implement them in the game, I had to create a large number of variations for existing renders. For example, cases where Amy isn\u2019t allowed to wear any clothes at home, or walk around with a butt plug in her butt.<\/p>

Hundreds of renders were added, and as of today, this part of the work is fully completed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Implementing the Rules in Animations<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Here\u2019s what I didn\u2019t account for right away: how to apply these rules to animations.<\/p>

The problem is that they massively inflate the game\u2019s size. For example, let\u2019s say one long animation takes 8 MB. To support just two options \u2013 pubes (shaved\/unshaved) and armpits (shaved\/unshaved) \u2013 you need 4 versions (shaved+shaved, shaved+unshaved, unshaved+shaved, unshaved+unshaved), which totals 32 MB. Already unpleasant, but manageable.<\/p>

But if you add just two more parameters, the total size of all possible variations becomes 128 MB for that single animation. And if you have dozens of such animations, it becomes a serious issue.<\/p>

The most obvious solution was to dump it all on Aqwaa and see what happens \u2013 unfortunately, that didn\u2019t work out. I had to think through a solution myself. To be fair, I had the general idea from the beginning, but the implementation turned out to be less straightforward than expected. Still, in the end I developed a workflow and wrote a script that automates most of the process.<\/p>

In short: I add a transparency mask to animations, which allows one animation to be overlaid on top of another and played in sync, and I crop the video down to the smallest possible rectangle to reduce file size. On top of that, I slightly increased the compression of the video files.<\/p>

In my test, an 18-second animation took 4.32 MB. To support all options the \u201ctraditional\u201d way, I would have needed 16 animations, totaling about 70 MB. With my method, I managed to get away with just 5 animations instead of 16 \u2013 and the final total size was 18 MB. In my opinion, that\u2019s a pretty good result.<\/p>

After that, I recorded a 45-minute video tutorial for Aqwaa explaining all the steps.<\/p>

But here\u2019s the catch: Aqwaa has a new 50xx-series graphics card, and it turned out that with it, some steps of my workflow wouldn\u2019t work for some reason. He spent hours trying to find workarounds, but no luck.<\/p>

Today he finally got hold of an older computer with a 30xx-series GPU \u2013 and everything worked there. Right now he has already started processing the animations, and we\u2019re already seeing the first successes. There\u2019s reason to believe that within a few days all animations will be ready. Fingers crossed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In the middle of all this animation drama, I started working on the game\u2019s code. Well \u2014 \u201cstarted\u201d isn\u2019t quite accurate: a significant chunk of the code is already finished.<\/p>

I defined all images and all animations (except the ones that aren\u2019t ready yet), and I wrote code for all the new events except Bed Play with Amy<\/strong> and Check on Amy<\/strong>. Along the way I had to render more than 20 missing images and insert them where they belong.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

So as of today: Aqwaa is working on the animations, and I\u2019m working on the game\u2019s code.<\/p>

I still need to implement code for two events, then add the promised stat-cards (at least for Lisa and Amy), and fix that pile of bugs that you, my friends, have discovered.<\/p>

After that: testing, translation, and finally release.<\/p>

There\u2019s only a little left \u2013 and I\u2019m doing everything I can to publish the game as quickly as possible.<\/p>

That\u2019s all for now, friends. Back to work on the game. Wishing you all the best \u2013 and stay tuned for good news (at least from me).<\/p>
