Hey folks.  Unfortunately for the game development, it was another busy week at work.  I did manage to get some work on the hair done.  

Results from the poll showing a pretty strong preference for the simple hair shapes with blendshapes.  I think that'll be a good way to get s...

Hair System Poll.

Option 1 - The basic hair, pretty much as it is now.  Only color customization.

Usable on older graphics cards. (DX9)

Done now.

Hey folks.  Great feedback on the survey about surveys.  I'll be working on another one to get your feedback on possible implementations of the hair, since that versioning issue completely broke what we had before.

Getting the hair working is important for the way NPC's are created. &nbs...

Do you want more polls?

I dunno, maybe it's baby blues, (My 2nd daughter is 2 months old now) but I'm not feeling great overall.

This project has been in development for over two and half years now and has been my only "hobby" really.  I was hoping that with this last pubilc build the project might finall...

Heya folks.

This week I spent a fair amount of time hunting down feedback from last weeks public release.  I got some good stuff, including a brief review by Shades, which is linked on the main page.

Based on that feedback it was really helpful to know where to focus time on.  I've...

So excited for this upcoming public release.  I've been working through bug fixes and more quests this week. 

I'll be tracking more than just quests in the quest system.  Things like quest items are just added within that system as that makes it easier to implement and doesn't clutt...

Heya folks.  I got a little bit done for last weeks missing update and continued on with that work this last week.  My new personal situation is still in transition, so my focus is pretty scattered.  I expect that to remain the case for about a month.

What I've been focusing on is w...

New build for $5 Patrons here. 

This week I was very busy.  Last week I was set up getting into sexual interactions via the dialogue system, this week I set up getting out of them.

Working on integrating the sexy times into the dialogue.  Also, having different dialogue options depending on the stance you're in.  Normal Stance is Converse, Combat Stance is Taunt, Sexy stance is Seduce.

Each stance will have it's owned assignable dialogue tree. This week was spent s...

April 16, 2018

Mmmm, sexy sexy dialogue trees.  Oooh.  Aahhhmm.   Anyway. . .

This week was spent on quests, dialog tree and NPC personalities.

I've got the quest system working quite well.  I am very pleased with it.  I have a few types of triggers that are very easy to set u...

April 9, 2018

Holy shit, actual objectives!  This week was spent getting the quest tracking functional. It was not as clear as the dialogue system instructions made it seem, so I spent a bunch of time slogging through *really* old demo scenes and smashing my face against the keyboard trying to parse through ...

Hey folks, another preview build is out today for $5 Patrons.  Get that here.  Build notes are more or less here.

Personality Perceptions

Here are they ways that NPC's can perceive you in Vizier's Shame.  This is based on the Big 5 personality model with facets. 

Some terms have been altered or combined for simplicity.

March 19, 2018

I spent this week simplifying the NPC gear equipping and allowing for that gear to be looted after the NPC has been killed/knocked unconscious. 

Ultimately, I want armor to take damage and show it.  But that'll take some  more work.  The defense level doesn't do anything yet ei...

Vigilance Light

Vigilance Light is done.  Thanks to MowtenDoo for creating the tower.  

Fetish List

Alrighty friends, it's time to get kinky. I'm building a list of fetishes. What do you want to see in Vizier's Shame?

I don't necessarily have any idea how I'm going to implement some of this, but I'd like to have a solid list of things that people want.  Possibly I'll set up a poll for imple...

February 26, 2018

I bought a pretty complex inventory system this week. It allows for all kinds of neat stuff, from banks, looting, crafting, equipment management, stat management, etc, etc.  So far I am quite happy with it.  The documentation could be better.  It's taking a little bit of time looking ...

February 19, 2018

I've remodeled the Manor and my frame-rate doubled.  It's not furnished, but I think the real issue came down to how the walls and everything else was constructed, with a 3rd party addon.  I think that addon was blowing out my render queue.  Forcing the creation of new materials and n...

Let's go play outside.

Everything here is a work in progress.  

This week I bought "World Creator" an environment creation tool.  It's well worth the money for the time it saves and the things it creates pretty easily.  I've been working with it, trying to create "another dime...

Hey folks.  Worked pretty tirelessly this week trying to get the other two tiers of uniforms done.  Very happy to have these completed. They of course work for all the body types/ customizations. &nbs...

January 29, 2018

I'm pretty excited about the progress this week.  Clothing is working fantastically.  I was having a bunch of issues before with the base body clipping through clothes, but that's fixed!  I was able to sculpt and complete the Tier 3 Uniforms for the Vizier's Intelligence Service, as s...

Fair amount of new Patrons!  Welcome folks.  I look forward to hearing your thoughts about the progress of the game.

This week was spent on putting together a new intro scene for the game.  A section of that scene is complete and available for play by2018-01-22 16:31:24 +0000 UTC View Post

Hiring Composer/Audio Designer

To my Patrons: This is a post that I can link to from elsewhere or copy/paste from.  It also serves to let you know what I am looking for, and provide any feedback.

To interested artists: I'll start out by assuming that you know nothing about the game here. &...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year folks.  

The last two weeks have been fairly intense.  Outside of holiday stuff, I think I have the new procedural materials from Substance Designer fully integrated into the project.

Making changes to the color and textures on the character now requires the material...

December 11, 2017

Yea!  Spraypaint that skin wall. . .

Substance Designer is fricken awesome.  It took a bit to get figured out, but it was totally worth it.  

Good news is that it's going to be so much easier to make amazing textures going forward.

Bad new is that I'm probably going to h...

December 4, 2017

This week has been focused mostly on the . . .fluids.  The above image is painting onto the character.  This means that the . . .fluids can be added to the character and say there without having to create new objects and attach them to the character.  By painting on a texture . . .flu...

November 27, 2017

Lots of things going on this week. 

First - I'm introducing a new reward tier.  The $3 tier will give access to see a lot of the behind the scenes things that I'm getting from concept artists, environment test etc. It's usually rough and dirty.  I'm also going to start launching som...
