Poll for Commission #115 - Part 2
Julie wins!
Moreso than anyone else, Julie is nearing a point where she doesn't need much new imagery for the complete game.
This means her options are largely going to be revamps for old scenes, or new imagery that gets injected into an old scene to spruce it up a bit. These options are the things that probably bother me the most. I usually refrain from spamming imagery into the descriptions but fuck it, I'm just going to show you exactly what I'd be re-doing.
You may vote for more than one option.
Option #1: In Chapter 2, Flin helps Julie with the dishes.
These images have been in the game since the very beginning, and I just think they'd be sexier if I remade them. I'm not looking to get creative here, I just think Julie's new model would look sexier, and I could make the "Flin reaching past her to put away a plate" image a little more clear, maybe? I'd also like to have her blushing in that image, though I would retain the innocent smile because it's supposed to be an innocuous moment.
Option #2: For some time now I've considered adding shower sex to Julie's jogging scene. I already have a decent little smattering of shower sex imagery now, but I think a scene to wrap it up could look really hot. Sure, I could instead make a preamble image where they're taking off clothes, but that shit is so difficult and takes too much time so instead let's just focus on something easier.
Option #3: After helping Julie with the dishes, if you're caught up on homework and band practice, then you spend the night. The following morning, Julie slips into bed beside you, forgetting that you'd be there.
As with option 1, I'm not looking to do anything crazy here, just...new models means it'll look better, and probably sexier. I'm not planning to revamp her nightgown, however I might consider seeing how she looks in a sports bra instead (this depends on how well I can convey a sports bra versus a normal bra in this simple art style).
Option #4:
DISCLAIMER: I MIGHT FAIL AT THIS OPTION. If I do, I'll just...make a static sexy close-up of her in her wedding gown.
If you don't know what Live 2D means, it's basically a sort of dynamically animated 2D image you put a lot of extra work into. Like a Vtuber, but with a 2D image instead of a 3D model. In this case, I dunno man, she might look around at the mouse cursor and blink or something, maybe her boobs jiggle a bit if you swipe your cursor over them, that's probably it and I can't even promise that much. She might just have an idle animation and that's it.
This is the random wildcard option where I'm just experimenting. I'll be frank, I've never made an L2D sprite before. When Ren'Py gained support for L2D around 5 years ago, I looked into it and was curious, but never got around to doing any of the work involved. I downloaded some software and did some research, but that was it.
That means this option is more of a "fuck around and find out what I can do" kind of thing rather than a targeted result. I almost made this poll just 3 options, but fuck it, if you really want me to force myself to try to figure out L2D technology then...that could be fun. Headache-inducing, but fun. Maybe I'd use them more in my next game.
L2D is NOT a normal animated image. As such, I wouldn't be able to truly properly share it here, instead I'd just have to record an interaction with it and share that video.
It's fine if this option doesn't win btw. Please just vote for your favorite.

I don't mind at all that L2D is losing but it occurs to me that I should maybe clarify one thing for anyone reading this who has a strong opinion about this: L2D has absolutely NOTHING to do with generative AI or LLM's. In fact, it's sort of the opposite: L2D sprites are kind of out-of-reach for AI devs for the time being, because there's too much custom work involved that those tools are ill-suited for (at least as far as I understand it). You need to be a human artist who knows what they're doing to make an L2D sprite.
