Vortex00 Site Related
I want to start of by mentioning the most recent thing from my memory in relation to this site. Which is the fact that I actually realized another sites that uses MyBB forums, Affect3D. They have no integration to my knowledge. forum users are forum users, and site users are site users. One scenario I can have is back where I had it with being able to see MyBB forum new posts here just how you can currently see new posts on the new forum. And just forget the rest of it. I can eventually work out the issues.
Another thing I noticed on the site was the store with Zombaio merchant.I have been thinking about getting them but I was under the impression you needed to have a membership site even to use the cart system.
I really don’t want a membership site as I don’t have time to update it weekly or whatever is required. Plus updating the site with seemly random stuff that people pay monthly for is a bit whack imo. It makes a lot more sense if the memeber base votes sites on what content will be coming in the next few site updates, or some similar method. What they are doing with 3D is what I want to do with hentai games and hentai in general.
Project Related
I worked on a small flash game with Veins as my part to help further promote the MoGi Origins project. It is based on a heavily modified version of the “slap” mechanic I planned to use in UMCC which was based on UMSlap.
the game can be found here

I’m still working on the preview video that I will ultimately use to explain UMCC where needed. I have been just working on it off and on tbh.
I have been doing some MMD stuff trying to finish male UMCC models. It is almost done minus the facial hair.Aside from music videos, I want to recreate some scenes (and gameplay) from Umichan games such as some scenes from v2, adial, etc. even the hentai stuff. And also wip stuff that I have not released such as the story scenes I planned to add into UMDeluxe. There are also some story scripts Joe types somewhere in the old forums I should be able to easily create in MMD.
On the same note, I downloaded a lot of special effects. I’m thinking I have what special effects I need to make a video with sixxe vs. all the aria girls. I big fight scene. Tasha and Annie appear at the start but don’t fight for reasons that will be shown.
Interesting Stuff
I watched a few gameplay videos of I guess recent RPG sim date games.
I haven’t looked at any sim-date games in recent memory but I noticed a few interesting things as well as a few of the same old some old.
One interesting thing was the success/failure chances of doing a particular task. This doesn’t really apply in UMCC because most of what you do is based on player skill. But initially from level 1-3 Maiko does train without the player. It would be. interesting to make Maiko possibly fail some of these scenarios. Then I can have a general mood based on this and have a better use for talking to people on top of what is there already.So if her mood is bad that possibly introduce same things Revan had mentioned where Maiko can do different activities with Pattie for example or nay close friend and get in a better mood. I can also have Maiko just randomly wake up in a not so good mood. And getting into fights, losing arcade games, sent battles, etc, can lower her mood also. This is very similar to the ‘stress’ idea B__ introduced a while back. But would be more simplistic. Not sure how I would display this stat. But i’m thinking at least for morning currently Maiko always say the same thing about tired she is. I can use that to describe her starting mood for that day. I would think that having various text describe her mood would be a bit too much additional text.
There are mood bracelets that exist irl. It is bullshit irl, but in UMCC could be interesting since Maiko already has wrist accessories. You could but a mood bracelet from a shop that would tell the player Maiko’s mood based on color everytime they bring up the hand device.

Well that is a interesting idea Maiko’s mood. Kinda reminds me of Pac-man 2 The New Adventure or super princess peach. 2 games that have to do with the moods that change what the character can do.
As for the UM Deluxe plot I believe you are looking for this chat that me and JJ had on the old forum.

Those are really good ideas, the mood bracelet and the mood itself.
If you go as Joe is suggesting, we can have 4 moods: joy, gloom, rage and calm.
With Joy she would be happy and maybe receive bonus for actions she does.
Gloom would be the oposite, making things harder to do, like not accepting to exercise and such.
Rage would be like your description of picking fights during the day and maybe not being possible to walk with a partner during its effect.
Calm can be the neutral mood.
About the dating sims, the are very tradicional, almost never try to change, and when they do and succeed its a breath of fresh air man, i really enjoy those with little additions or little of humor to them.
@justjoe2k
Thanks for finding this. So I just need MMD Kyle then really. I actually worked on him before Greel but did not like the hair and how it was looking.
@jccq89
the mood ideas are great ideas, I like Maiko not wanting to travel with anyone, that will make players address Maiko’s mood issues.
Well Vortex00 if you was looking for other stuff to do with the spa well here is one. It is called Nami’s spa day. It look like the user was planning to have different location of the area than just a spa.

Thanks. I remember play this but had forgotten about it. So people like the whole floating hands and floating penis thing ?
Could be that the user was making short cuts out of the animation. Since drawing a hand with a body would and his face would take a lot of work, in which he already done a lot of animation. As a matter of fact the flash looks to be somewhere at what you have done in your early flash. You know JLCK flash. It may look some what basic animation. I bet it took him time to make.
What I see is that in a world map you can only select the spa. I think he was planning to do other things with the flash never came up to do it. I wonder what he was trying to really do with this flash?
yeah it looks like multiple areas on the ship was planned. It sorta kinda reminds me of Hentai Tail Hall but just with this one girl.
Actually, this floating hands and penis is really common on japan, a lot of flashes i play use that style. There are floating hands, penis, a ball with a tongue or mouth to simulate a head, stuff like that.
Yes however I would not immediately associate something that is common with something that is good. I say this in reference to hentai date sims having many common elements that could use a breath of fresh air, and even now a lot of hentai platformers have a lot common themes that could branch out also. However it doesn’t happen often, if at all.
Kasumi rebirth had the floating penis and is overall very popular. Aside from the fact of Japanese law that she has to be fucked by a minecraft penis, I wonder if it could be improved by simply having even a little more focus on this dude (the player) who is doing the deed. Floating hands I can understand, but the penis… not so much. Meet n Fuck games adopted the style of floating hands with the whole ‘rubbing’ section of the game, because it’s history was based on ripping stuff right out of Japanese games including the art. But the sex actually shows the guy. Even the rare gangbang in the MnF games, or multiple guys doing the girls, the guys have more times than not, a body.
However in those games, the angle changes usually to support the guys body being present. In many Japanese games the angle would not change when the sex starts. So similar to the hands, the penis is also floating so you can actually see what is going on.
Is this lazy on the developers part? I can certainly understand, being someone who also makes the most economic use of stuff. But it would not mean the is the best of doing it.
But in some instances, Kasumi rebirth included, the guys body can be present still. It should at least be optional.
So say Kasumi Rebirth adopted the MnF method. All of it’s present clothing removal ass left as it is, but the sex part is a different angle to show the guy but still with whatever state of dress the girl was in. Would it be better or worse? why not both options? I can recall in my Umichan Maiko games many people wanted to view the action from different angles.
