Mio and the Maid Cafe

Your Mio for the day. Never quite got the heart thing, but whatever, its cute.

_____

Finally got the main text in otherworld to work the way that I rather like. Had to set up 3 seprate functions. A put the text up NOW function, a question function, and finally a long group of text funtion. Which compared to my original idea of throwing all text into one array, gives a lot more flexibility. Also got the first job to work, rest.

Your Mio for the day, a bit different clean left the white border around her in place, not sure if I like it or not.

Rewriting how events are handled in Otherworld till I get a way that I like. More and more I am impressed with just how good Cmacleod42 was at event handling in flash.

Pushing towards an actual working version now that the UI is in place. Really hope to get a Proof of Concept up and running in the next couple weeks.

Last a request anyone got good pics of anime drawn style of fantasy rooms. I'm sure there are some good CGs out there I just don't know them. Specifically need an empty room, a milk parlor, a stable, a bed room (many different variations) and the pics need to be high rez as they will be full screen.

Thanks in advance,

Daisy

Mio and the Maid Cafe

Your Mio for the day, starting to think that I have enough Mio's for the Maid cafe, maybe 1 or 2 more cat girl maids and will move on to another dress.

_____

Now that I have a graphical interface for the character stats been working on linking the items to the girls stat changes. Had to pat myself on the back a bit created a function with 6 variables 3 int, 3 objects that handles all the little bars moving around the character screen. Two weeks ago I don't think I would have even tried. Definitely a level up.

Mio and the Maid Cafe

Your Mio for today, a pain in the rear to the clean, light background in mulitple colors. But I think it turned out fine, though I did hack off a large portion of Mio's hair from the original.

Working more on the auction screen and character screen for Otherworld. I keep changing my mind if the system should be 2 skills and a sex skill, or just 2 skills. Basically should the girl be maid + ponygirl + futanari slave or if she can only be warrior + artist but a sex skills just being the most basic. Don't think I like that idea but running out of space on the character screen. Will propbably have a working mock up tomorrow.

Mio and the Maid Cafe part I lost count

Today's Mio, using a different method to clean this one, shown to be by someone1001. Selecting all the background and then deleating it as one step. This pic took me about 10 minutes when it would have taken me about an hour. Can you guys tell the difference in the quality of the clean?

Mio and the Maid Cafe; Nana to Kaoru; Otherworld, Background Story

Today's Mio, another maid cafe image with tray. This image was a little bleached out which made it a bit tougher to clean.

_______

Chapter 11 of the second series of Nana to Kaoru came out. If you don't think Tachi looks sexy like this, your reading the wrong blog.

Otherworld Background story, "The Green"

If the green was always part of Otherworld, or something that fell into the pit no one is quite sure. What everyone knows is that it is a constant battle to keep the city from being over run by the jungle. The green is everywhere though and it is easy to tell what part of the city you are in by the amount of green, only the highest of nobles can employ enough slaves to stop the green and push it back altogether. A lot of the slums are just this side of the jungle.

Many other rumors surround the deep green, many monsters have escaped the pit and the watchful eyes of the guard into this deep jungle as well as many slaves. It is a lawless area that surrounds the town and the pit. While not as dangerous as the deep areas of the pit, it is still to be feared. Rumors also abound of a slave kingdom, an elf kingdom, and a fairy kingdom all hidden in the green, though most people discount such rumors.

Finally there is the dreaded Green surge, a sudden wave of growth that can devour an entire block of the city in the night. No one knows what can trigger a surge, but you can go to sleep and the next morning wake up in the middle of the jungle.

Mio Maid Cafe; Otherworld Title Screen

Your Mio for the day, shy with just a hint of love.

_____________

Thought I would show you guys the current title screen for Otherworld. A graphics designer I am not. Standard click page goes to character creation page. Will probably add a credits button sometime to it.

_____________

More on the sigularity point henceforth refered to as "The Pit", many possible versions of people wander out of the pit, but the most sought after are "Primes" or the perfect or orriginal version of a person. Sought after by collectors and religious fanatics these primes are said to be the closest to perfection. They are also the rarest of girls, being able to find and properly identify a girl as a prime is the difference between a good trainer and a great trainer.

Mio and the Maid Cafe 3, Image Editing, Menace Bad End News

Your Mio for today, have I mentioned how much I like the Neko-Mimi?

I got a question in my e-mail on how I clean images. Why waste something I have already written? This is how I clean an image, I think there are better ways but I dont't know them.

I personally use fireworks as my tool of choice. Its free for 30 days from adobe https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=fireworks&loc=en_us

This is just a personal preference any image editing software will most likely do.

Step 1 I resize the image usually about 2x, for slave maker thats 896 x 672, so it can be blown up but the key is not to try to clean an image greater then about 1000pix x 1000pix or you will be doing it for days. I learned this lesson cleaning Menace's cat suit image... 2 days later of cleaning, I resize every pic now.

- Some notes on image sizing for Slave Maker or my mistakes.

Note 1: going 448x336 the screen size in SM while good for file size, just looks bad if someone is playing in full screen. -- Learned from Menace

Note 2: not resizing all your images makes your slave much bigger then she needs to be. -- Learned from Orihime

Step 2 save the file as a .png file this is a file format that has transparency. Big warning Jpgs don't and you will be just wasting your time, and then you will have to clean it again. Not like I have ever had to do that. <.< >.>

Step 3 blow the image up to about 1600x and using the eraser tool start cleaning it pixel by pixel. I usually clean everything i can with a big brush and then using about a 3 pixel brush clean the edges.

An hour or 2 later and you have a cleaned image. Its time consuming and boring. Good luck.

Ichibukai sent me in the new bad ends for Menace, they are very good. I really like the one for the Sphinx, he captured my favorite original character perfectly. Should have an updated version of Menace out on Wednesday or Thursday.
