We´ve got something exciting to share! Projekt Melody, yes the Waifu our game is named after, has been nominated for the Nutaku Waifu Gala Steam Festival!
Upcoming Steam Fest aside - do check it out for nice discounts and discovering new games - here´s how the event will play out:
Waifu Gala is a fan-voted awards event where players and fans alike can cast their votes for their favorite game character across a range of categories. And this year you will be able to vote for Melody in the "Best Girl" Category!
Starting the 15th you will be able to visit the event website and we´ll send you a reminder again when the voting begins so you can vote for our best girl!
Heyhey Scientists! Just updating all of you with some additional information related to the currently running PLAYTEST!
Quickplay Caches Texture Previews the first time you load it up.
There is a order of operation issue at the moment that can lead to massive load times on the FIRST loadup. If you let this run once, the second time is mega fast.
We currently do not pre-cache shaders so first time seeing any new character or texture ingame you will have a shader compilation hitch.
This only occurs once per GPU driver update.
Animations can only be imported in CREATOR MODE after creating a SCENE!
Importing a File ALWAYS doesnt set the animation active on the first try
You have to select the file after importing it
If a character is not available, the only way to make a file work is to change the "originalSandboxCharacter" value in the copy paste (use notepad) to 0-2 (which references Player, Melody, Jellody in order from 0,1,2).
This allows import of the scene.
Example Video: (Ignore the Ending, I was just playing around at the end)

Today I´m testing a new format for those monthly summaries, something less text heavy. Tell me if you likey ;)
For our Combat we have been working on the "Skill Tree" that allows you to unlock new weapon modes and invest the viral matter you harvest by nerfing enemies back to their zero state into cuwl upgrades. First a noice looking render of the final look and after that you can see a gif of how the system works on the backend.
[/img]
Taco our UI and Sandbox Programmer said something about the backend having its own 2D Physics Engine just to make this work. It IS very complicated but its a ton of fun to play around with already :3
[/img]
No explainer needed.

Character Outfit for a "Special Scene" with our Witch (The scene is side content we still have to add) below, we even did real world research with a friend to ensure this was somewhat "realistic" to pull off :3
[/img][/img][/img][/carousel]Just a bunch of cool pics of prop passes for final environments and level blockout passes for WIP ones <3
[/img][/img][/img][/img][/carousel][/img][/img][/img][/carousel]Just some cute stuff you´ll later find in the game. Sometimes I also get confused what the fuck its actually for, I´m sure its something funny our writer came up with :D
[/img][/img][/img][/img][/img][/img][/img]
And some tasty map preview one of our level artists made. Its def not final but should give you some ideas on what Hell is gonna look like when you can finally traverse it. (Its one of our many "world biomes // worlds" we´re creating for the main story line.)
[/img]
For the past YEAR we have been working towards one of our most crazy immersive features for ANBW ever! Lovense Toys as CONTROL INPUT for the game!
The DEMO for this feature is ready to go and if you have any of these Toys: Nora, Max 2 or Solace Pro, you can test out the new input feature right now!
