Attention all Patreon supporters! It's time for an exciting update on our project progress!

Do you remember her? It's the mysterious woman that comes to see Martin and passes out.

After countless hours of hard work, I've finally completed the necessary code to handle the mysterious woman's interactions with Martin, and I'm now ready to draw her stunning cutscenes! But that's not all - I'm going above and beyond to bring this character to life in the most satisfying way possible.

I started by creating a 3D representation of her clothes using the body mesh we'd been working with since the beginning of the project. I've meticulously improved the rigging and sculpted her body to interact seamlessly with her clothes, pressing her curves against the fabric to make it feel more squishy and lifelike!

But I didn't stop there - I recreated all her accessories, including her necklace and flip-flops.

And let's not forget about her hair! I was lucky enough to find a beautiful downloadable mesh with the same hairstyle as hers, which saved us several days of work and allowed me to focus on perfecting other aspects of the project.

But the work isn't ending there. My most recent challenge has involved modeling and rigging Melissa's cell phone purse. Working on it has been a painstaking process, as I've had to ensure that the organic leather parts interact seamlessly with metallic elements like the buckle, lock, and lobster clasps. However, the effort will be worth it, as it will be easier to make cutscenes interacting with it.

Overall, I'm incredibly excited about the progress made on this project with your help, and I can't wait to share the final result with all of you. Your support on this Patreon page has been invaluable, and I'm grateful for each and every one of you. Stay tuned for more updates - there's so much more to come!
