Progress Report for The Muscle Mommy Update 💪

Hello everyone! I hope you’re doing well!

This week I’ve been working on something that has been on my list for a while: improving Andrea.

The biggest change is her face. I was never completely satisfied with the old version, so I went back and changed it until I got something I liked much more. I think she looks considerably better now while still feeling like Andrea.

But her face wasn’t the only thing that got an upgrade.

Since I started working on Not a Failure to Launch, I’ve bought quite a few new products from the Daz store specifically for making muscular characters look better, and I’ve also simply gotten much better at making them myself. So I took the opportunity to give Andrea’s body another pass as well.

She was always supposed to be BIG and I think her new version sells that idea much better. Her muscles have more definition and generally look much more natural than they did when I originally made her.

I also made some changes to her lady bits. Testers will get to see a few sexier shots of the new Andrea, including her wearing a very tiny bikini and proudly showing off what she’s working with. 😏

So, why did I suddenly decide to give Andrea all this attention?

Well, because I’ve decided that the Gym will be the first new location added to the game!

One of my patrons suggested starting with the Gym, and after thinking about it, it really does make the most sense. There are already several characters and storylines that can naturally connect to it, so it gives me a lot to work with right from the beginning.

And Andrea is obviously one of them.

At some point Andrea is going to try her luck with Sarah. Whether that happens in this update or a later one, I’m still deciding.

And when she does, it will be up to Alex to decide whether he wants to do something about it...

Or not.

There are also two other new characters I’m considering introducing through the Gym, both of whom fall very comfortably into the muscle mommy category, but I’ll save them for another post.

(Andrea and Mauve in heated exchange, I wonder why they are fighting.)


And speaking of muscular women...
Maeve won the character vote!

After accounting for Backers having additional voting power, the final results were:

• Maeve — 9 votes

• Evelyn — 7 votes

• Olivia — 6 votes

• Molly — 6 votes

Which makes the Gym even more convenient, because Maeve already goes there.

So this update will include a long Maeve scene, and my current goal is to have at least three animations for it. I’m also planning a scene with Andrea; right now I’m leaning toward a BJ scene.

On the coding side, things are going very well. The navigation system itself is finished, which was by far the biggest thing I needed to get working for the new sandbox sections.

There are still a few UI systems I need to code, most notably Alex’s phone, but the bulk of the programming work for this part of the game is now behind me.

That means I’m going to be shifting most of my attention back toward art and actual scene production from here.

I should have plenty more to show you soon!

Thank you all for the support, and especially for all the suggestions and feedback. ❤️
