taking a bit longer than expected but I got a working implementation of character switching working. it will be in v17
today I need to add in some of the other sex scenes then it will be ready.
click smiley face to swtich to a certain character. in this case it is one of four random female nameless students.
when you see Maiko you will be able to switch back to Maiko.
cafe minigame for her has been updated a bit. text to help understand what number to guess next. and front view sex.
This looks so good man!
Its good you keep adding stuff to make the sex mini easier to understand too.
This front view is so awesome! Can’t wait to check it out myself 🙂
thanks actually meant to record working on the animation but it slipped my mind. but tits took forever anyways. would have been a video of mostly just tweaking that part of it.
A time very well spent.
thanks
This looks great are the four different character are they going have the same chest size?and is there a front view for the main staff of the cafe as well?
Sorry thought I replied earlier sometimes i forget to press post comment.
yes character will have same chest size and body, only thing that can change is the head. I just want to try small changes for now because having a lot of customization is nice but it can easy multiply workload by a lot and take a long time to do. it is not ideal for just trying something out.
yes front view for main stuff will be added later. the art for them is done. but i need to prepare the art for animation, animated it and get it into the game. but they are drawn at least for now. previews will be in patreon art tier.
You think that will be possible like in the future with a better time dilemma on a update for umch with the extra characters that it is? and nah you good awesome work you doing great better to take your time and make sure your work is thoroughly completed and appreciate you letting us know something and not keeping all of us in the dark and nice so your pretty much all set up just animations needs to be done cool beans
Thanks, however I don’t quite understand the question you asked.
if you are asking if i will make more customization options for the random playable girl later, yeah it is possible. but customization can easily double, triple, quadruple the work. And I already work on multiple projects also. adding in multipliers is something i want to avoid at the moment. at least until i can safely get animation help.
also it tends to snowball out of control with requests and becomes impossible to do. the amount of options people can ask me to include is literally endless and i would spend all my time making custom stuff. this something I really want to avoid here in UMCH. the custom girl will be more prominent in a online UMCH game similar to agent trainer.
okay my bad i really just seeing if there is different variations of random playable girls like by 100% of your choice and judgment like add like different chest sizes and like body types etc i dont won’t you to work to hard as well just trying see if you were to in the future maybe try to possibly add minor changes to the girls give the extra characters a little variety and its still your game sorry for being confusing and or demanding like so in the end its like a question not so much a suggestion
You don’t need to apologize for anything, feel free to ask questions. The main purpose of the extra girl is not to create your own character the way you want. The main purpose is to try to allow possibilities for things Maiko, or other named characters, would be out of character to do themselves.
Also when you say give the extra characters a little variety, please note that it’s not little bit of work to add little bit of variety. I’m trying to explain that is is lot of work for just a little variety. and for a little bit more like 1 more hair option, or 2 different breast sizes options, the work is easily quadrupled or more. It is much more than you may realize. it is more than some developer may realize, and why it takes them forever between game updates. I did lot of that in UMCC. but in UMCC it is easier because the animation parts are swappable, and the angle of the animation is optimal for it. Atm suddenly trying to send a lot of time so a custom character is fatter or skinnier,etc takes a lot of time away from everything else about the game and other things I have planed to do. The easiest compromise for now was to have different heads/faces.
also note that the more customization you have the less involved the dialogue would be without adding several extra lines of dialogue to account for all the different character variations you might have. For example Jeni calls maiko cow-tits. Kyle likes Maiko’s big tits, Amber, Luma, and many other characters talk about maiko’s breast size, but what if the player can chose to make her boobs smaller? Then I have to back and edit all of those lines for that possibility. Or I can not have anyone say anything specific about maiko’s body. which results in a loss of personality and story. it is not really the way I want to present characters in UMCH. either way it is lot more more when what you may realize to do something that may seem like small change. that is the point I am trying to explain.
okay wow my bad I understand now but you maybe think in the future like simpler request focusing solely on a bigger chest size (same size as makio so like the pov mechanics could be the same and maybe some animations too so all you have to do with like the other girls is change face and hair maybe?) only for like maybe 2 of the 4 random girls or add like 2 girls whatever is easier and at your own comfort but just asking if that is possible? And also seeing if that might be easier or still to hard of a suggestion like you said before
that way is easier yes. and yes it possible, just time consuming. Also I don’t want too share animations with these and named characters atm. I think you might be looking at it terms of just what is currently here, the sex scene and walking around. I am looking at all the stuff I plan to add later, other mingames etc. I’d likely think twice about adding more stuff with the random character because work and time it takes to make would be irreversibly multiplied. Am I just cautious about it because I don’t want to put myself in a position where it would take me a long time to finish and I am not able to deliver updates within a reasonable amount of time because I am busy making different options for the same thing. It is something I can think about again later. Things like this are easier when you have a larger team.
Use cafe minigame for a Transfer station.IT’s a good change.
yeah if this works ok I can have certain swaps in a few places.
I’d ask what the lips icon means but I guess we’ll find out when its released.
lip icon is flirt with customers. the character can’t do the matching minigame. but she unlock after the cafe is lvl 4 so you don’t need to do that matching minigame anymore at that point. unless you just want to get money that way.
What does the mouth symbol mean?
mouth is flirt. similar to sending friends to flirt during cafe matching minigame

Hey Vortex, long time supporter here. Love the new character design. As a guy who prefers more average size tits it is great to have. Wanted to ask if you are gonna work on ARIA at all anymore? Is your partnership with pinoytoons over?
Many thanks for the support, I talked to pinoytoons earlier about adding stuff to do for ARIA but I haven’t sent him the necessary e-mail outlining the work yet. But yes I am just about at the end of what I wanted to do with ARIA and updates. He was inspired to make his own game but stayed and fully committed to finishing all the animations I needed for ARIA first. And I didn’t want to bind him to ARIA forever with just sex updates. I wanted to allow him time to peruse making his own game. We had been working on and adding updates to ARIA for over three years. But yes we still have a partnership to do more stuff as needed. I just want to try polish the game up though. Not really interested in jamming more sex into it to be totally honest. Mainly I wanted to explain the combat system better. make idle animations, for standing on the menu and possibly the sleeping poses also. and possibly make a few more side scrolling areas for raiding.
I like solid gameplay about as much as I like sex scenes. Any new updates are welcomed. Would be nice to see a few new sex scenes if possible though 😀 I was the guy that asked for a sex animation for the shop girl in ARIA. Any chance to see a unique one for that? Keep it up.
I can keep it in mind if the opportunity presents itself.
