I&#8217;m haven&#8217;t been posting literally anywhere. I have been really busy with a lot of things not related to working on games. But when I did have some time, it was committed to working on umcc mostly. I stopped monitoring other forums at the moment, I will check back later perhaps after this post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Site updates:<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I might have the old forums working decently for me know. I might post some TandA in text format there later. Also have some new MMD videos I need to post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project Updates:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I spent time redrawing the faces for umcc characters, but I don&#8217;t like them. When I got the the point where majority of people were liking the faces, I was not really felling it. Other regulars here were also not. the faces people want to see, is not something I want to do. So I&#8217;m going to leave it the way it is. Plus I would have to make unique faces for each character for the redraw to be truly successful. And I&#8217;m not really interested in doing that because it is too time consuming. And I don&#8217;t want to spend any more time and money hiring a artist them waiting months for the art to be completed or spending months doing it myself.&nbsp; Basically, only 6 characters looked decent. Which is not even 1\/3 of the <em>students<\/em>, much less every character in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Characters that looked okay with face updates:<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/spiralvortexplay.com\/svp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/umcc_new_previews_good_look.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/spiralvortexplay.com\/svp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/umcc_new_previews_good_look.jpg\" alt=\"umcc_new_previews_good_look\" class=\"wp-image-17586\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>This is was Maiko with the face<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/spiralvortexplay.com\/svp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Maiko_reference5.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/spiralvortexplay.com\/svp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/Maiko_reference5.jpg\" alt=\"Maiko_reference5\" class=\"wp-image-17571\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Yes still like the left aside from the nose, which I changed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So anyways, by not scrambling to redo the art, I got a few things done. but there is still some little details to get sorted out. I think I am done adding stuff though. at least for now because, now I can add stuff later without people loosing save data from running a newer file with more variables and stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/spiralvortexplay.com\/svp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/umcc_update_image1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/spiralvortexplay.com\/svp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/umcc_update_image1.jpg\" alt=\"umcc_update_image1\" class=\"wp-image-17585\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>1-2This is a animation unlocked by doing Mr. Natan&#8217; research quest. The characters are random. Basically Maiko will need to help him set up a camera network around the school with sentinels. Still need to make guy heads. In future updates, I want to have stuff like this play in the shower scenes if your relation is high enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3-5<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 Different room styles a player can have with Maiko. A fourth one is unlockable based on conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photo minigame stuff is merged into the game. I have just the same one from the video I did a while ago. I&#8217;ll add more later in possible updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each teacher has their own office and a research request. Only Natan and Tom will have quests thoguh for now. Also and Mika I might add in later unless I can think of something worth unlocking that doesn&#8217;t take a long time. They will just say stuff for now though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>interactive animation. There is a now a way to skip all the of the testing and class stuff completely. I realized I didn&#8217;t have a way to bypass it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9-10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>save data can now be saved and copy\/pasted to text file, and repasted into the game.This allows you to plays the game on different computers or browsers and still be able to use your same data.&nbsp;Also this allows to me update the game and add more stuff without worrying about people loosing data. The data can be easily manipulated but I don&#8217;t really care if people want to do that. Don&#8217;t expect me to tell you what number belongs to what stat thoguh. If\/when I update this i can just have have a max value the game reads in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>studying now has a little book that comes up and tells you your current learning stats for class.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>basically the only thing I changed in term of the art is the noses on students. The original ones are still on BG characters and store people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time for some updates. I&#8217;m haven&#8217;t been posting literally anywhere.
