Update - So that's how Shizu's tail is attached
🕑 Added 2021-05-30 22:00:00 +0000 UTCtl;dr - No conclusions yet on that bug fix from last week and I'm getting back to work on the Shizu ending now.
This week's images
I've shown you before that Shizu has a new kitty costume... well, the tail had to fit somewhere, didn't it? These poses are actually going to be quite important in the scene, because I'm going to be using them for other variations which I might show next week, because those are fun in their own right.
These poses are actually using some quite fancy visual tricks to make them work, which might not be obvious at first glance. Hopefully you can't even tell what I've done and it looks like a normal pose!
Also, these are upscaled, of course, so click on them if you want them to be less blurry and more detailed.
Still not sure about that bug
I've only got one reply about the new "now loading" bug fix so far and the news wasn't completely great; one crash was reported, which might suggest that the "fix" isn't a perfect one. However, I remain somewhat hopeful that it could do some good in making the game stable.
I'll put out the upcoming releases with this fix in place and see how it goes, since I think at a minimum it's not likely to hurt anything. I probably won't get any real sense of feedback about it from that, though, unless I just stop getting people mentioning the bug.
Getting back to work on the Shizu ending
My plan this week is to get a nice chunk of the Shizu ending made, but we'll see. I think I'm a bit behind schedule on that and there's a few extra elements I might need to make it work, so there's a small chance I might have to pivot to different, quicker-to-finish stuff for this month's release, but I'd rather not.
Are you interested in the Shizu ending? Can you guess what visual trickery I might have used to make the poses above work? Let me know in the comments!

Welp, I know which ending I'm looking forward to.. ;)
BBBen
Actually, it's themed on the kitty outfit I've been showing here and a couple of weeks ago, so there's not really room for another outfit.
Hank Rillek
Ah that makes sense. BTW, will the Shizu ending contain a certain plaid skirt outfit? Like the one from the Hirai pictures?
BBBen
It's basically because the shape of the hips, once bent, looks a lot better on a more modern model. Also, the genitals look way better on the newer model, so I prefer to use it for the close ups.
Hank Rillek
A, I thought the model couldn't take that pose. But it's mostly for the texture quality that you're using different models then.
BBBen
Close to right - or maybe correct and I'm not reading it right - she can naturally assume that pose, but basically she's lower half Genesis 8 model (for the close up) and upper half Aiko 4 model. I've even got a more surprising illusion like that later in this scene.
Hank Rillek
I guess that you've cloned the entire body and made them overlap to be able to get the head in that position. I'm very interested in the Shizu ending, she's my favourite in this game. :D
BBBen
It's actually not entirely two different models in two different shots; it's a little more complex than that, but I'll keep my secrets for now. :) And full feline insertion would probably be against Patreon rules, so I'm afraid not. ;)

Yes. We can tell it's two different models in each shot.... but only if we look really hard. Also... did you shove a whole cat in her like stuffing a turkey?
