Cleanse thyselves with news from the creators. This week we summoneth Dala.

Behold, what labours we have wrought!

ALT | pmperfect:

Hello there, lovely gamers!
We continued working on polishing the last two areas.
The cutscene for the first one is done, and the final one is close. While working on it, we ran into a small challenge: how to force the camera to rotate without pulling it away from the player, but in the end, we found an elegant, simple solution.

4th altar area before and after cleansing:

Same for the final area:

Along with a screenshot of the blueprint that will force the camera to track the falling Orb, which works solely inside Sequence Director and just works; just wanted to share :)

It is so satisfying to see it all working as intended. Now, to liven it all up by a mile: SFX incoming. Our composer, Avu, has some amazing work that will elevate the experience even more!
Can't wait to share it with all you guys!

That's all from me for this update; cya in the next one, gamers!
And wish y'all a lovely weekend <3

Less:

Less started working on some combat animations for Alda. This is the heavy block:

The heavy block with a slide:

And the heavy block with poise break:

Now a dodge slash back:

Some parry animations:

A dash animation:

Now a normal perfect dodge to the left:

But he noticed the left and back dodges looked too similar, so he'll fix them later. But for now, this is the right-side perfect dodge:

JuggerDown:

In the last report, we showed you that Jugger was working on a storyboard for Alda. This is how it will play out:

• Ambushed by goblins in the cave;

• Getting headaches from Dala while the fight goes on;

• The shaman has a magic shield and can't be defeated by Alda alone;

• Survive long enough until Alda passes out;

• Losing also progresses.

This is the WIP:

Vils gave some feedback and asked that instead of them having sex with Alda, it be the goblins about to have sex with Alda, but then Dala comes out. Jugger explained that it's just 3 scenes with Alda, and while Alda is riding the goblin, Dala comes out. This is the first step of the transformation: Alda's eyes turning red - Dala's eye color:

• From shots 12-13: Alda's breasts begin to grow, and her skin becomes whiter;

• Shots 14-15: Her skin becomes even whiter, and Dala's hair appears;

• Shots 16-18: A smooth transition from her breasts to her face. At first, her face is relaxed, slightly uneasy about the transformation, but when Dala fully takes control, she smiles sharply. This should create a stunning effect. (Alda never smiled once during the entire sex scene and didn't look like she was in control, but Dala begins to fully control the situation and smiles at the prospect of sex.)

Loud_Luna:

This week, Luna COOKED. After a meeting with Vils, when an enemy is hit with Dala's magic, you inflict a status called "Charm", represented by the pink bar overlaying the HP bar. When you fill up the pink bar by dealing damage with Dala's magic, the enemy gets stunned:

Once stunned, you can use Dala or Alda to finish the enemy off. The idea is to have a quick animation to take them out of combat. For now, it's only a prototype, so Luna used a quick animation. Dala and Alda have different styles of finalization:

His idea is to be able to build on this base to whatever we want/need. Like, make a big sword swing or a kiss from Dala. For the big boss? Make a whole sequence to finish them or seduce them into submission:

Thank you for attending the vigil, it would not be the same without thy presence.
