Santa's Helper (is not really helping me)

I'm actually a bit distracted while working. :)

Just a quick update. 1.4 Release is coming along fairly well. I still plan on a "Mid"-December release. That might mean as late as the 20th, but I really hope for sooner.

This screenshot shows off:

-new skin texture set (Mei Lin from DAZ library) 

-new heels

-new clothing customization

-new hair (although a bit hard to see here)

-new Santa hat :)

-new Sumiko face morph. A bit of Asian flair for you.

-1 of the new body morphs

-some of the new chest/areola morphs

All clothing has been completely redone in this release to wrap a bit better and improve materials, and nearly every clothing item now has customization. Clothing has probably become the biggest update in 1.4. Shown here are the existing stockings item with materials adjusted in-game to make a nice candy stripe glossy red divided with fishnet. Some clothing items have multiple materials to allow unique effects like this. Hair is receiving a similar treatment. This should open up a lot of creative possibilities!

On the downside, I still have not had much time on audio and it is a monumental task, so I'm not sure any part of the audio work done so far will make the release. I will see how it goes over the next few days as I dive back into it now that clothing is nearly complete. I do not want to delay the release any further.

What do you want Santa to bring you?

Excellent job and dedication Meshed VR. Seriously proud of you and your progress. This type of behavior gets you paid the big bucks. You are amazing sir!

Meshed VR I just started what looks to be an all-nighter. It will be late on the 20th. 12H ago

DON'T forget to set process to high priority on this release, please.

KC · December 20, 2017

From a purely entertainment perspective, I think the work you have done with the eyes and lips are amazing. I could literally sit there and get a bit lost looking at them in close proximity. I think it should be noted that the details in facial expressions goes a long way to upping the sexiness level. Probably more so than some bodily functions. Maybe that can be a focus for 1.5 or 1.6?

A
AlesCZX · December 20, 2017

I agree. I think sounds are very important. For now, at least the sounds of the environment would suffice.

Sorry to be the guy to ask but is it a possibility that it’s done within a couple of Hours? Or more like afternoon/evening of the 20th?

Can't give an exact time just yet. All I can say is the 20th.

(typo on my part). Give it another release or two. 4000 will come soon enough. You're doing great work. Thanks again!

S
Spacepal · December 19, 2017

4000 patreons now? [well deserved btw]...Seems that you're making enough chocolate coins to hire some coding elves to speed up toy production? {hint hint}

M
MeshedVR · December 19, 2017

Well not quite to 4000 yet, but wow that would be amazing! I'm looking at ways to accept help now. It requires some restructuring of my project to set up mini-projects that others can do and this takes some time and thought to do correctly. I have had many people reach out to offer help and I would like to be able to accept as much help as possible.

Brandon · December 18, 2017

So can we expect it sooner. ie tonight or tomorrow ^_^

M
MeshedVR · December 19, 2017

20th is most likely.

Joshua R Dodson · December 18, 2017

I don't see why this personality/ expression system needs to be way down the line. There are tools that can speed the process up. Opsive's behavior tree designer would be a perfect remedy. If one or two devs were brought on to focus specifically on developing a framework, this could be added in a lot sooner. Behavior trees could be developed for every body part/ erogenous zone. This could be set up so that all meshedVR would need do is connect the character up to the framework, and assign whatever animations are appropriate. Hell the community could add their own animations and drop them in so they play when a specific body part is touched. Anyway I do believe that it would take a dedicated few to focus on it primarily while meshedVR tackles the rest. Just a thought.

Joshua R Dodson · December 18, 2017

I know this is a completely separate phase to development, but I hope there are plans to add a pleasure/ personality system to the characters. Would be more interesting if the woman and men could be teased to climax.

A
Agamnon Solarion · December 18, 2017

There's a research tab in Trello, and a personality/expression system is the top suggestion. Still, waaaaay down the line <a href="https://trello.com/c/Oo1l38uS/27-personality-expression-system" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://trello.com/c/Oo1l38uS/27-personality-expression-system</a>

Do you support Windows Mixed Reality?

M
MeshedVR · December 16, 2017

Not natively yet, but you can use the MR support via SteamVR. Others have reported success with that. Unity is stil`l fine tuning MR support.

Actual potato · December 16, 2017

just wanna give a shout out to how much fun this has been. Like aside from the obvious adult aspects, ive been having a blast building rooms and apartments and simulating outdoor scenery and outerspace areas and animating movements and stuff. I literally spent an entire day off creating a space station with a sexy female astronaut and then making an alien bang her

M

lol. Love stories like this! Thank you!

Tick tock. Tick tock. That is all I hear. Trying to avoid looking at clock or date. Many fine details left to wrap up. Eek!

KC · December 14, 2017

Omg. I've spent so many hours that I didn't have just putting girls in different poses and I'm just in the teaser tier. Can't imagine how many hours you higher tier guys are spending on this game. Esp after this massive v1.4. The game is excellent. Everything is top notch but does all the environment have to be so dark?

M
MeshedVR · December 14, 2017

Thank you! The darker environments tend to look a bit better which is why that is how most of them are now. I'll be adding more global illumination options in future release and have some ideas for brighter scenes. At creator level you can adjust the lighting more to your liking and make brighter scenes if preferred.

Joshua R Dodson · December 13, 2017

Hi there. I'm interested in working on this project. I've sent a friend request on Discord. Let me know when you have the time please.

HTC vive guy · December 13, 2017

Bit disappointed about the audio, but I expected that considering it's a complex task and you aim to do quality work. :) I wish we get the New hair options in 1.4, as that will unleash a lot of additional user creativity and scenes / models. ;) Thank you.

M
MeshedVR · December 13, 2017

Hair texture/coloring is also coming in 1.4.

M
Martin S · December 13, 2017

a setting for hair in the intimate area would be nice

Can't wait to play around with 1.4! Looks awesome! My wish for Christmas: Facial expressions for these babes!

M
MeshedVR · December 12, 2017

Once I add animation of morphs I will unleash expression morphs!

A
Anon Coward · December 12, 2017

Looks great. Two things I wish for: 1) more room for nipple settings (like way smaller areolas, etc?), and 2) the ability to switch between different looks of the face or body more easily, like maybe randomize morph settings or have a bunch of various presets. Now, tweaking 1 little feature at a time, I always seem to end up with one look, and can't make different good-looking ones.

M
MeshedVR · December 12, 2017

My suggestion for making good looks: don't put any one morph to full. You subtle mixes of several near mid strength. But your suggestion is good. I would like to include more presets and a better browser for them.

I cannot wait for this release! I love the look of that new hair, although its hidden it looks a little more flowy and full! Combined with the new customisation, options are about to go thru the roof!

I keep asking that fat bastard for hookers and blow but it never materializes :( So screw Santa. I'll just hold out for the 1.4 release instead :) Looks great, btw!

David Sarif · December 11, 2017

If I really could, I'd ask Santa to give you some help to make it come quicker :-D Or maybe, a pale skin and a few more hair options !

Jan Willi · December 11, 2017

Your work is awesome! When I look on the 1.4 completed section @ trello, there is enough to make me happy. Regarding audio I would recommend to dedicate a complete release. Take your time.

Emocrat · December 11, 2017

Look great! I cant wait for the 1.4 update ! I don't mind waiting for sound for another patch because rest of the update looks more interesting than sound for me.

Darren Machisi · December 11, 2017

Oh wow- this update looks glorious! Those nips... here's hoping the skin set has some pubic hair. Please don't hold off on a release just for the audio- the Halloween themed one had all of those assets that were kind of a missed opportunity due to the timing of the release and these Christmas ones could be really great if we are not playing with them on December 26th ;) Thanks for all of your hard work.

Bob Bob Bob · December 11, 2017

You're work here is awesome, but I will say audio is probably the single most important feature not yet in the product.
