Alright guys, I apologize a ton for the delays in the Patreon update. I won't lie: I
way underestimated the amount of work left to get done before this stuff was ready. The update will still be up before I go to bed tonight; I intend on putting it up in a couple of hours in the Creations section of the Patreon site. However, I wasn't able to fit in the dickwolf/catgirl sex animation, as it still has a lot of finishing up to do before I can get it into the game. So here's the plan: I'm going to let you guys see it now and get feedback on the WIP version, and then I'll hotfix it into the game at some point tomorrow or Saturday. As you can see we've been playing around with a new style of animation, and it has required a lot of trial and error, hence why its taken so long to make.
Again, this is a WIP: some of the parts still need to be cleaned up/edited and some things need to be smoothed out. I'd like to hear some feedback on the new animation style.
Also, as a consolation, here are the demon variations that S-Purple has been working on:
Also, a bit of updated Kala art:
Not to pick to hard, but the pinnacle animation change intended for this patch is going to have to be patched in later. This was DW and CG patch and there fucking isn't in it for another few days. That's weird. Not the biggest problem, but weird. I'm interested to know what else is making it in that took up such a large portion of your efforts these past 3 weeks.
ReplyDeleteI think the effort has been toward re-engineering the art and animation workflow so that S-purple can quickly translate art into content. This means that about 70% of effort is in getting the first animation to work properly, and 30% of the coding work is the tweaks needed to make sure the rest work as well. When you're really expanding the scope of a project like this, it's really hard to make predictions, and I know I almost always underestimate how long it will take. Over time I've gotten better, but if this is Hbomb's first project of this scale, I would have been shocked if it turned out any other way. Unless he cuts corners, in which case we'll all regret it later.
DeleteDefinitely preferred the previous Kala design.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for this new update. I've been following the game since September, and I have to say it has come a long way. I was hesitant at first about the new art style, but it has grown on me.
ReplyDeleteWith the new Kala art, are we to expect more adventures with her? Personally, I'm excited the most about the possibility to interact with Kala and the other barbarians
It would be nice if you put in a course, unfinished animation instead of just nothing. Hotfix it later with the polished version but people have been expecting that specific animation for a while and you'll get some mean backlash if you can't get it in until a few days after you said you would.
ReplyDeleteThat said, I'm really liking that animation. It is far above the quality of the previous ones and I'm sure it'll look even better once you're finished with it. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they're having vaginal sex, but I don't know if that's purposeful or if that's something that needs to get finished still. Either way, minor detraction. It's great to see facial expressions change (your previous catgirls can look...like they're missing part of their brain with some face combinations), the tail is awesome and I love the slight expansion of her stomach.
Finally, the demons look awesome. I'm really excited to see those someday.
"Unfortunately, it doesn't look like they're having vaginal sex"
DeleteI can agree to that. The angle of the original catgirl animation obscured it, but the wolf penis in this animation doesn't appear to be penetrating - especially at the apex of the thrust.
Perhaps reverting it to a position with the catgirl on her knees would be better.
Cannot un-see. She needs to be bodily lifted off the ground for him to be getting the right angle. I'd suggest having the DW suspend her. He can still be gripping her by the wrists if you want, but that animation would require more work and be finicky. The easiest solution would be to have her being gripped by the waist and lifted, maybe pinning her arms to the side while he's at it (His hands are clearly large enough).
DeleteS-Purple's art is so dramatic, a sharp but complimentary contrast to Hartista's 'wilder' style - if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteI really haven't much to say, as I am not contributing financially, but am impressed and pleased with things so far.
Um, keep banging out this awesome game, guys?
And thanks :)
Very cool, the facial animation is a great touch.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, i found this game 2 days ago, and now such a big update is coming up... nice, played it for couple of hours, and i must say i like this new style, looks like it has a lot more quality to it,also i think that, at this point there is no point going for ultra smooth animations that will please everyone (impossible) i would rather have 2 more animations than one better animation, in this case in this point in development i would rather choose quantity, you could update the game with tweaked versions of those animations increasing "oh something new" factor, still i have to agree with Benjamin with some aspects of animation... but If all following animations are gonna be in this style and quality... holy fuck im gonna be happy. Damn i would want to give you those 300 bucks....
ReplyDeleteIdk the Demon doesn't look very demon like in my opinion, but just me. Like, not as ferocious.
ReplyDeletei would disagree, personally! some of those facial options are pretty spooky. i love the look.
DeleteLooking great so far, big fan of stomach bulge!
ReplyDeleteThe demons look a lot better compared to the old ones.
It really doesn't look like Vaginal. Is that how it's supposed to look? Because it looks like he's ripping through her intestines. And I don't mean that harsh. It's just what came through my mind when I was watching the Animation. With the way her body shifts it looks very much like Anal, and the way her stomach looks in the thrusting I get this image of shredding intestines, not really all that sexually appealing it looks agonizingly painful.
ReplyDeleteBeyond that however it looks great, the tail is a little awkward when you look directly at it, but when you aren't the brain translates it well.
RIP feral Dickwolf. I'm still of the camp that thinks as cool as the new Dickwolves are, they are basically the same as the demons. We've lost some serious variety here. As a consolation, I think the planned "feral" option should turn all of the dickwolves feral, not just add in a trait. Does anyone else agree?
ReplyDeleteAnimation wise, I absolutely love it. The tail is the best part. What other people have said is right though, it looks like anal as opposed to virginal. You can even see her lips down there and they _don't_ look like they are being parted to shove something huge in. Maybe move her up a bit, and redraw the hips at a different angle? The vagina is directly at the bottom of the pelvis. The current animation is perfect for anal though!
The pussy is getting suddenly bigger when he's thrusting in, i don't know why. i'll wait for the edits to be done to really analyse the animation :p
ReplyDeleteThere's no stomach bulge! NO STOMACH BULGE! You've seen his penis? Pussy and stomach are deforming, but there's no stomach bulge!
ReplyDeletePlease tell me that there will be stomach bulges from massive penetrations!
Aside from that, after smoothing and cleaning it a bit, I think it's nice.

"it looks like anal"
...You say like it's a bad thing XD EVERYTHING should be anal, mwahaha!
Tell that to the butt stalions. Also, magic.
Deletedeformation pls ;)
Deletefirst off, ow. I just wanted to post randomly that everything looks cool and I like the direction things are going with the variations in general. I hope that in the future there are body type variations too, not just variations in their heads and colors but chubby, thin, huge boobs, no boobs, giant ass, concave ass, etc. I wouldn't expect this to be anything tackled soon because there is plenty of other work for you guys to do but I just wanted to throw that out there.
ReplyDeleteI find the way that chest of the dickwolf changes a bit weird.
ReplyDeleteThe art looks much better than before, cleaner and smoother. The animation is better too, just that the wolf's legs, chest, and tail could be done more smoothly I suppose, to prevent a weird look of the animation jumping around. Other than that, great job.
ReplyDelete- Gman
This right here, is literally the ONLY problems most of us have with the animations. S-purple and Harista, I call your attention to this post. right there.
DeleteThe catgirl has it going on in the abdomen region as well.
Deletedoesn't look any more like a strap-on than it did with the old feral dickwolf IMO. i think that's just what the design makes it seem like, with all those straps on the waist. i don't know if it's a bad thing, though. the only way to really rectify it potentially would be to add a lot more detail to the penises (veins and such) and i'm not sure a hyper-detailed wolf dick would suit S-Purple's style he's got going on here.
ReplyDeleteHer left leg (the right one from our view) should probably be flipped. Her legs give the impression that her upper body should be facing us, with it like it is, it looks like she's twisted around at the waist.
ReplyDeleteBeing bent over and facing to the right, we should not be able to see the outside curve of her hip, only the front of the thigh. The inside should be thicker than the outside.
New Kala looks great!
ReplyDeleteWas hoping for large insertions when I saw the dickwolf art for the first time. Will there be stomach deformation/large insertions this time around, and if so, how much are we looking at?
ReplyDeleteDo we get any anal outside of butt stallions?
Really good Question*push*
ReplyDeleteI liked more the old Kala art, or at least her butt and legs. She is my favorite character model.
ReplyDeleteSound effect from UrielmanX7's game?
ReplyDeleteBring back the four-legged dickwolf...miss the doggystyle catgirl
