As you might’ve noticed I’ve taken a break over the past month. I feel as though I’m in a bit of a slump. There are things I want accomplished for Beach Paradise that are either not feasible, or not within my skillset to accomplish that I’d really like to accomplish before simply padding out the mod with more content.First and foremost is of course the useability. If you have used Beach Paradise 2.0 or older you’d know that we’ve made massive strides to make Beach Paradise far easier to install and use. At the moment I am satisfied with the ease of installation, but the ease of use is still something I feel needs work.There are a lot of gravure animations now, and in the next update I plan for there to be 25+ more as you might have read. The process of navigating these in the past was unintuitive but useable, but with so many animations present in BP now it is rather headache inducing to try and find the one you’re looking for by just pressing one of three function keys and pressing numbers and buttons at random. I have never liked this system but it was the best we could do with our tools and skillset. Before I add more animations I desperately want to find a better solution for this. If there is anyone who feels equipped to program some sort of basic interface for navigating motions then please, contact me on Discord, which I will provide at the bottom of this post.I’ve expressed this previously, but I also desperately want to add multiple character functionality to gravures. If anyone has any leads or relevant skills to help make this a reality, again, please contact me.As for more swimsuits, this also poses a unique challenge because of the way we’ve chosen to implement them. The method we chose was to reduce filesize bloat, improve useability, and improve game stability that became a problem when overusing Autolink. This method however limits the capacity for costumes given the number of slots available to us, which we believe is related to the game’s executable file which we will not under any circumstances provide a modified version of for legal reasons. We are of course always looking for new more capable and convenient methods to deliver the content we want but it is a challenge. To the people who are concerned about bringing back sweat, I of course have heard you and plan to find some way to make it function in tandem with the new tanning system.Now to bring some actual good news to the table, Team Ninja has released some Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 swimsuits as DLC to DOA5. This is great news, and I strongly encourage everyone to please purchase the DLC if you can to encourage Koei Techmo/Team Ninja to release more DOAX3 swimwear to DOA5. Your continued support may also make them more receptive to the PC platform and even revive old concerns like Soft Engine 2.0. With the new swimwear there’s also a possibility that there are remnants of DOAX3 technology and rigging in the new DLC models. I am in the process of checking to see what new knowledge these models can bring us, and hopefully bring us closer to the real, PROPER butt jiggle that we want so badly, and perhaps we’ll see some better breast rigging.As for timelines, I cannot provide any. Note that I’m always thinking about Beach Paradise and ways to improve it, and please just remember that instead of stressing about the next release date. Thank you for reading. -- source link
