Sorry for being a few hours late :).

Howdy! Here's a short bi-weekly status report for the DomJOI Witch Project. These bi-weekly reports will be part of more regular updates for higher-level supporters (with development game releases). For now, they are public for everyone.

I was working on the animation system and poses used in the game.

TLDR

• A lot of animations were added the game has about 30 animations/poses with different camera angles.

• The whole scene director with animations is ready for deployment, there are only minor tweaks before the final version

• Changes to the model and its characteristics like jiggle/breast physics, genitals

• Scene components like fadeout/fade-in are ready.

• There are a few things left for the game to be ready for alpha release.

Animations are a hard part for someone like me - a programmer at heart. I have to say that new additions to the Unreal Engine, especially since UE 5.4 made the whole work much easier, so I could finish the entire milestone that I was really afraid of missing timeline!

A Trello card does not reflect the huuuuge amount of work that I did in the last two weeks, as some of them are like "3 animations", and to be honest since making one could be quite time-consuming, I was able to make 3-4 in a day. There were also some bugs during the first runs, that are fixed now. Generally speaking, if you do not mind the lack of sounds and no face animations, the game is playable and I like it a lot :).

I also worked on the model a little bit to make it better, I added more jiggle to the breast and butt. There are no dynamic scenes yet (the previous version also didn't have them - I have a few ideas for them, but it will be in 1.1 or 1.2). I'm more concerned with finishing the first version and releasing it ASAP.

Genitals "closed" looking in my opinion much better than IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO PATREON RULES.


Genitals "closed" looking in my opinion much better than IMAGE REMOVED DUE TO PATREON RULES. Then genitals open :). Fixes, and setting the character/model to look decent were my main goals. It is a little problematic as this is not a custom-made model, but quite good game-ready assets made by Xandra (great girl, but genitals models could be a little bit better ;) !).

Plan for the next two weeks

• Work on music

• Work with VA

• Work on UI with the artist.

• Fixes for first alpha release

Milestones before the game is shippable

• [SMALL] Final touches to UI

• [SMALL] Work with VA - WORK IN PROGRESS - I found VA, we met, but we didn't have time to work on the game yet

I really appreciate your support! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I'm working hard to make this as fast as possible, but life is life, and sometimes I have to focus on other things.
