Announcement: Upgrading Free Mode to 3D!
Hi everyone!
I will be changing Free Mode sex scenes from animated lineart to 3D! Only Free Mode will be affected (and existing bugs will be patched too). The pixel art and 2D art will not be changed.
One of the biggest reasons I decided to release Memoirs into Early Access was to get player feedback as development continues. One thing I’ve seen consistently was a demand for sex scenes beyond just pixel animations. I’ve been experimenting with animated black and white line art, but I wasn’t entirely pleased with that approach, and players weren’t either.
So my animator and I went back to the drawing board and we decided to tackle 3D animation. The results blew us away, and we hope that our players will be equally pleased. This upgrade will put the adult content in this game on par with much bigger projects. It goes without saying that it involves a monumental investment in time, effort and probably finances as well.
But I did set out to make the best adult RPG I could, and this brings Memoirs one step closer to that goal.
The challenge in converting characters from their 2D anime-esque art to lifelike 3D is more than just staying faithful to appearances, but also capturing the personality of the characters. I think my animator TORii has done a great job in that regard. I will also be putting out a new, revised roadmap soon, as I expect working on 3D to take some time.
[Update: images have been removed as they no longer represent the current state of the 3D gameplay. Will post new stuff soon.]
