May 11th Update

More from dsp3000 on his upcoming game, Tara Part 2…

 

For this blog update I’m pleased to finally announce a release date for
Tara Part 2. The aim is to release the game on Friday May 29th; just over two weeks
from today.

There are still a few things to finish, but the image count is now over 1300 and
I’m really pleased with the way the game has developed. Exploring all the
possible outcomes within the game should provide several hours of fun.
I’ve included five more sample images from the game which should hint at a few
of the possible scenarios to discover. The last image will also give you a clue as
to the identity of the fifth female character in the game.

More on that, plus another surprise next week…

May 4th Update

The next batch of information from dsp3000 concerning his next game, Tara Part 2.

This week I’d like to introduce another character and another location
from the forthcoming game.

Zayna works the hotel bar and is the fourth of five female characters you can
interact with. After her shift finishes she likes nothing more than stripping off and relaxing in
the hotel steam room.

If she lets you go with her you can find out just how steamy things can get…

April 27th Update

More from dsp300 this week…

This week I’ve been finishing off one of the end scenes with both Tara and
Natalia.

With this done I’m pleased to announce that the whole game is nearly finished.
So far the image count is up to nearly 1250 with just one significant scene to
complete with one of the other characters. This could well add another 50 to 100
images as well.

I’m hoping to get all the rest of the images created next week. I’ll then
spend a week or so checking all the files and coding to make sure everything works
properly. No doubt there will be a few image remakes and perhaps a few modifications
and additions too.

So, pretty much on target to release the game mid to end of May.

Here are a few images from this week to tease you all with.

April 20th Update

More from dsp3000 regarding his forthcoming game, Tara Part 2 :

“This week I thought I’d introduce you all to Maria. She works at the hotel you are staying at along with Tara, Natalia and a few other guests. She has a quite sizeable role to play in the game, depending on how you play it.

You may have already met Maria at the end of part one. She comes across as very
professional and maybe a little shy, but she is keen to make sure you have a very
pleasurable stay.

If you play your cards right there are more than just few pleasurable things that
she may be willing to show you.

Still on target for a May release date. More next time…”

April 13th Update

From dsp3000 regarding his next game, Tara Part 2…

“At the end of the last game, Tara’s friend Natalia suggested that she’d like

to have some fun with you. In the forthcoming game, if you keep her happy there is
certainly lots of fun to be had.

Before you get to the real fun stuff, there are plenty of different options and
outcomes within the story lines with these two girls. There are also few bonuses
and achievements to discover along the way. Tara and Natalia are of course very
good friends so it’s perhaps wise to consider that they do like a good threesome.

Steady progress on the game over the past few days, mostly working on those fairly
extensive end scenes with Tara and Natalia. Each end scene is contributing around
100 – 150 images to the overall image count.

Aiming to have everything ready for release some time in May.

More next week but in the meantime here are some images from the game involving
Tara and Natalia.”

April 6th Update

The week’s blog update comes courtesy of dsp3000, the creator of Tara : The hitchhiker. This will probably be the first in a series of blog posts from him talking about what to expect from his next game.

After several months development the next part of the Tara game is now nearing
completion.

 

Titled Tara: The Hotel, the story picks up where part one left off.
You've just arrived at your overnight stop with Tara and met her friend Natalia.
What happens next will depend on whichever path you choose to take.

 

For those of you who enjoyed the first Tara game, you will be pleased to hear that
there are many different storylines to follow and much more detail, especially in
those all important bonus scenarios. 

I've tried to develop a fairly complex plot, with multiple endings and a few
twists and surprises too.

The game will be a big one. There are still a few scenes to complete but it's
currently at more than 1100 images with over 200 of these being animated.

 

Along with Tara and Natalia there are five girls to interact with, multiple
storyline options and plenty of sex scenes to aim for.
More details and images of the other characters in the next post.

March 13th update – Experiments with Unity

A couple of months ago I made a blog post describing my interest in doing a 3D date game with Unity. While I’m still not 100% convinced I’ll actually finish making one, I have still continued to experiment with what I can do.

Adapting the various locations from the 2D version for use with Unity has (surprisingly) not been that difficult.

I’ve also been lucky in that many of the main locations I use are ones which come with an ‘extended licence’, which means I’m allowed to use them in a 3D game. The main obvious scene which doesn’t is the players apartment, which means the player would need a new home. I finally decided on a mini mansion model, then combined it with two others to create a pool and suburban surrounding.

This is easily my favorite location so far. The lighting and the shadows in particular really make it come alive. As you can see however, it still isn’t quite finished. The house needs more windows, and I’m not keen on all of the textures. Just from these three images though, you can probably get a good impression of how it would look.

One thing I’ve been very aware of when considering a unity game is the gameplay. Yes, the idea of a full 3D environment sounds appealing, but the whole thing would be rather pointless if the gameplay is exactly the same as the 2D version. With this in mind, one thing I’m set on doing is having a decent sized city hub the player can freely explore.

I still don’t have a full list of things for the player to do in the city, but certain location will be accessible from it, such as stores, the pool, and the the strip club.

I’m sure many of you have enjoyed visiting strip clubs in mainstream games such as grand theft auto, and I’m sure many of you will also have been disappointed in the lack of nudity there. For once, you could have a strip club where the ladies showed everything.

Despite these ( and a few other) scenes looking as they are, I’m still a long way away from a game however. At minimum, I would still need to make menus and a dialog engine before I even started making the game content.

Finally, I’m also finding it frustrating finding women I’m allowed to use in unity. As I mentioned earlier, there are some models I’m allowed to use in unity, and some I’m not. Most of my ladies aren’t permitted.

So far, only Maddison, Jennifer, Rachel and Daisy (after I remade her. She has different tattoos now) are clear for use. Lisette could be too, but I would have to give her a new hairstyle.

So, at this point VDGunity is still very much an experiment, but it’s still edging closer to reality.

27th February Update

Just another quick update this week.

For those of you who haven’t noticed, there is now a version 1.3 available for download in the members section which should have all the main issues now fully solved.

There is also a patch of just the html files if you don’t want to download the entire game again. Just merge everything in the patch with ‘files’ folder of your game.
