Hi all! Hope you had a nice weekend.
Gonna keep this short and sweet. As you may know, we're completely rewriting the backend for the interaction browsing in 0.6.1. We're doing this by migrating everything from Google Datastore to Google Cloud SQL and Google Cloud Storage. This will introduce significant improvements in terms of responsiveness of the browsing. While we're at it, we decided to re...

So this some of you have already seen on the stream, but now were making a post too. :)
It turned out that simply updating the skinning wasn't enough to achieve the amount of quality we wanted around the spine/belly area for extreme angles. So now we're adding a driver to it as well. No need to be dramatic about it, so let's get straight to it.

Hi everyone, we hope you're doing well!
Please excuse the lack of posts lately. We're in the process of migrating everything in our cloud service to a new system (Datastore -> Cloud SQL, Blobstore -> Cloud storage). This will bring immense improvements in terms of query times and eventually better search options for the pose browser as well. While this work is cool and all, it isn't perhap...

This release fixes a bunch of bugs introduced in 0.6.0, but also some older ones. In addition to bug fixes there are also several improvements. Check out the release notes for a full report.

0.6.0 was one of our biggest releases yet. It contained a lot of new features and content, but also changes to previous behavior. Several core systems were removed and replaced with new ones. Naturally, doing such a thing increases the risk for bugs. And sure enough, there's been several reported.
We're happy to announce we're just a day or two away from releasing a patch to many of these bugs. ...

This release is the biggest one we have ever made. Not only in terms of new features and improvements, but also in terms of new content and the lengths we’ve gone to fulfill our vision. Dragoness is without doubt the character we’ve poured the most time and effort into. Partly because she was a huge challenge for us, both artistically and technically, but also because we wanted to push ourselv...

We're in the final stages. We have a build and are running tests. Mostly just administrative tasks left (building all targets, compiling setups and zips, uploading, publishing, generate keys, promotional stuff etc).
Anyway, here's Dragoness and all her skins inside the playable build:

2016-07-31 23:59:00 +0000 UTC View PostSo Unity just released version 5.4 of their game engine (that we're using). Since this release brings a whole range of improvements, we decided to upgrade our project to it right away. One of the improvements is the potential support for Vive (Steam VR) devices. We say potential, because we can't promise Yiffalicous will actually work with this, since we don't have a V...

I’m having some more fun in Substance Painter and I believe I’ve found some nice simple alternatives to our purple base:

This is something we've been working on for a little while.

First of all, pardon the long silence. We know we've been very quiet lately. Part of that is because Dragoness has been far more challenging than we first anticipated. This is mostly because of the wings, that have introduced a lot of problems we haven't dealt with previously. Not only in designing the them, but also how to execute them from a technical standpoint. New obstacles would appear const...
2016-07-19 19:28:51 +0000 UTC View PostJust wondering if people still have issues with connecting to the cloud?
When we first launched the app about a year ago, several users were unable to connect. This usually had to do with a firewall blocking or a due to an issue with Unity and proxies. But we haven't heard anything about this for a while.
The reason we ask is because we were thinking of switching to a custom ne...

This is something we discovered a while ago, but with some minor tweaks to our fur shader, we can turn it into something that resembles feathers. While we don't have a character yet that feels suitable for this, perhaps we could use it for a future one. Perhaps an optional skin for a bird or raptor. :)
As we mentioned previously, charge upfront has now been activated on our account, which means new users will be charged right away as they pledge. You can read more about patreon charge upfront and what it means for you here:
