Sneak Peek # 7 - Dungeon Fixer-Upper [DKH Alpha 0.18]

Hey there Keepers!

It was time I shifted back focus into DKH, and I really like how it's going! Here are some of the upcoming features:

Dungeon Court

The basic interaction room where you previously talked and played around with your followers has now been replaced by the "Dungeon Court" system!

The Court is a fully customizable player "home" separate from the main Dungeon, where you can walk around in third person, much like DRH, directly interacting with your followers or watching them interact with each other!

You can customize the area with "Props": items you can collect and place around the Court! These structures can vary a lot on their uses and available interactions.

Here are some lighting Props, allowing for many different ways to light up your scenes!

There's also interactable devices with their own custom animations, like in DRH!

Props can feature custom settings to be toggled on/off, or forbid servants from using them, for example.

A lot more of these are coming to Alpha 0.18, from furniture props your servants can use to relax, to more devious structures like milking-machines and tentacles!

There's no limit to what Props we can have in game, and more will sure be added over time!

Camera Modes

Camera modes have been reworked to fit into the new Dungeon Court system! They can be toggled at any time.

The POV camera emphasizes immersion. It allows for some free movement but it'll slowly track back to where your character's head is currently focusing on, be it an interactable prop, a conversation partner or someone's butt!

You can use the POV camera at any time: during scenes, dialogue or even when just roaming around.

A free camera mode has also been added to this new system, allowing for a more cinematic approach to your scenes. This is what should feel the closest to the current way interactions work in DKH.

More settings will later be added to the Free Camera mode, like filters, quality settings, a save photo functionality and more!

The auto camera mode, with changing angles and focus points, is inherited from DRH but it's still being worked on!

Big Performance Improvements

Working on DRH allowed me to notice some really bad issues related to performance, mainly regarding unnecessary GPU usage and memory leaks. Those issues have been fixed, and DKH should now run smoother than ever!

And this is it for this Sneak-Peek! A lot more is coming to Alpha 0.18 and I'll be sharing it with you all soon! However, here's a little sneak-peek-ception:

-Reworked trap system (traps will be props)

-Reworked Lewd Tome system (character in control of the move can use any of their learned interactions)

-More props! More character genes!
-More/Reworked clothing and lewd animations!

Let me know what you think, and see you next time!
