BTS Visual Novel Work
Added 2023-01-12 18:46:19 +0000 UTCCurrently waiting on renders for the comic, but I thought I'd take the time to post some images from some of my tinkerings earlier in the week with the character system for the VN.
A while ago I made a test demo showing off the Paper Doll system that lets the characters change clothing. I've been going over the code for it, one to make sure it's still working in v8 of Ren'Py, and two to prepare it for support for different body types once breasts and butt expansion start happening.
I think I'm fairly ready on the code side now, and it's just a matter of figuring out my image overlay order for rendering and tweaking my render methods to make it easy to expand the wardrobes and poses.
The plan is to have 11 stages of TF's both on the top and bottom half of the characters and then to be able to mix and match those body sizes. The challenge is figuring out where exactly to overlay the 2 halves since the shirts drape over the hips in a lot of cases, and this is not even getting into things like long dresses or my plan to eventually add pregnant morphs to the characters.
I've included one of the SFW paper doll demos in the attachments for everyone to try, it has just one character (Rose) with a bunch of underwear options and a single outfit. It also has my code for blinking & breathing animations. I'm going to try and have a demo out later in the month with the new changes I've been making that will show off the different body sizes, and possibly show it working with more than one character at a time.
