Vortex00 Again I will thank everyone for their donations. Some even donated to the bandcamp with “pay what you want” amount, so that is pretty cool ,thanks.
I am using that money to buy stuff that should help me improve the game for a sequel. I am on the fence about how much of the ideas I received should go into this game and how much should be simply used for a sequel or deluxe or v2 version.
I actually made a video about this lol. It is a series I do call Thoughts and Analysis. and in the video I explain how a person can never finish a game because they keep implementing new ideas and suggestion the receive for it. I do what to fix the bugs though and things people have trouble with.
But I wanted to get some feedback on whether or not I should simply add the ideas to the sequel?
I personally think I should add it the next, because I need to code the game better. I need to make coded like how I code now. That code was from 4 years ago! It would make things much easier for me to implement. Plus I thin having a blank slate to work from would be good. well not really blank. I would use the same area locations, I would just add in a few more areas.
anyways, here are some of the things I got:

There all kinds of breast sizes in here and face styles and arm positions all separated out. It is pretty much a better version of what I was trying to do in umcc. But instead of using these to make still images. I would have them animated in the same ways with clickable boobs and such.maybe only when the character is naked this time though to make it a bit easier for me. But basically from this I could redo the Nanako school attire. Even improve it.

I got this mostly for the hair. I think with this hair and the previous have and maybe a few tweaks, I can recreate each characters hair and more.

I got this one mostly for the current game. To possibly change the eyes and facial expressions.
I saw also some kind of build your own porn scene type kits on dlsite. pretty interesting lol. I would need to make hair for that angle and cut it up so I can animate it though.
feel free to post thoughts. Once I finish I might try to put it on the offbeatr marketplace and dlsite if I can. I don’t like the current risks involved with bandcamp.

This TJ_studio Pose Art Materials looks like a interesting tool to use. I see you plan on using TJ studio Pose Art in for a faster way of development.
Yeah It seems to be pretty legit, only like 5 bucks too.
Would make your life a lot easier since you do change and update the drawing models a lot. This software might make the quick changes you do quicker.
plus I plan to make the games a bit smaller in size anyways. I wanted to make a something for the summer that had something to do with the beach. maybe a summer job or something.
Well when you do UMCC chapter 2 which is Snowball Holiday you can also add in Spring into it. Than combine that into UMCC other half. In other words retro fit if you wanted to. Or do the way Mass Effect Trilogy did with the save status and relation of the group into the next chapter.
So a UM Summer type flash what do you have in mind?
@justjoe2k
as Long as I keep it small, it should be good.
for the summer games maybe have a continuation of the swim skill and some new things to level.
the jobs would be underwater diving stuff finding treasure or something.
basically something small similar to snowball holiday with only just a few characters.
A few people mentioned they wanted to know more about Lynn.
I was looking at these for ideas

Wow there both actually fun mini games to play with. ^_^ Going under water collecting treasure and fishing under water are fun. At the same time a plot must be told for this or why is it. Who is it or just playing fun for the hell of it.
probably one of kyles crazy ideas.
looking for some big treasure. or something to do with a mermaid photo
and then Lynn wants to experience actually working for a change so she is spending part of the summer with maiko, or they can be at lynn’s house or can go to it. that actually might be better.
When you guys mentioned Kyle i thought in some bikini fishing game, where the girls are on the beach and you use a fishing pole to get their bikini tops and they run to cover themselves.
With the mermaid story, i always think on him pairing with dizzy, be it looking for pic of the boob fairy or mermaids at the beach. She has the “knowledge” and he is crazy enough to look for naked girls everywhere.
With Maiko and Lynn, they could open a food store at the beach and sell stuff.
On this game i will link, you have to make the food and then deliver to the client. Its interesting http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/430027
Since its on the beach, the food would be more simple and they would use bikinis and as you passes lvls, you could unlock more reveling outfits so they can make more male costumers come. Maybe even do some “special service” for tips.
Another and the last i idea i had was to make Kyle organize a contest on the beach so he can get some nice pics and videos. Just watch the first minutes of this anime http://anilinkz.com/oretachi-ni-tsubasa-wa-nai-uncensored-episode-3
You had to endure till the end to win, maybe you can choose the team you want to play, the guys will hold the girl and you just have to use the arrows to move and click to try and catch the bikinis.
@Vortex00
@jccq89
those idea are pretty legit thanks. Not sure if i will have swimming. I don’t really want to make Maiko out of first person mode. but we’ll see. The bikini fishing games are probably a bit too common.
lol watched the first part of that anime and I think the best part was when the radio started bending and twirling around lol.
I wanted to make a “cooking” style minigame but never really found one that seems simple enough. If I can think of one i will try it. Calculating accuracy for the liquids seems like it would be fairly complex.
maybe i can have a memory style cooking game that would be close enough. where you have to just remember how the food is layered. like a hamburger would be bun,meat,cheese,lettuce,tomato,bun again. something like that.
you mentioned beach food is more simple what is “beach food”? like hotdogs and stuff ? lol
Hehe, thats anime is kinda crazy, thats just the beginning 😛
I played one where you just choose the ingredients and start selling the food, it had a variety of spices too and finding the correct combination of spices creates a secret ingrediend that makes people crazy for it. I tried to find it to show you, but i cant remember the name, that would be more simple than making the food like on that game, but i find it more fun XD
Ah, beach food is for me are sandwiches, barbecue, Popsicle, hotdogs, ice cream and such, hehe. In the game i shown there were salads and some fancy food, just keep it simple, lol.
hmm yeah things are coming together more now.
different kinds of sandwiches would work. and maybe you need to mix different sauces to make various kinds of bbq sauce or something.
I guess Popsicle would not apply much here.
I like this sets of images dude. I like the first set the most. But it doesnt have male bodies, right?
Its just like you said, making a folder with body parts, you can work on them and have animations. I like how this could help improving the game art and maybe solving the problem people have with it.
I like this set also. I will try to work with it for later. There is one male body in it.
I see, try making one sample of maiko. I can see her hair in the second set, but its green. Then show us how it turned out 🙂
So you noticed that Maiko hair in the second set too? lol. On the top row I assume? that was why I bought it, but if you look closer at the girl the straw hat on the bottom row, that is even better because it has the curls. I would need to do a bit of Photoshop work to combine hair to make different stuff from UMCC.
also for the uniforms on the girls, the boobs are all the same size so I will need to spend time reducing the sizes or increasing them depending on the relative starting size.
I see. Yeah, thats the one. That same hair, if you take one of the pigtails out, it becomes riley hair too. It will need some editing as you said, but i like this art for umcc.
Riley would probably be close to the cat girl next to her? photoshop the ears out and add a ponytail
True 😛
did you notice top right had a see-through shirt? lol
those details.
wow, i didnt O_o
