What's Up?

So it's been awhile since I've posted any real updates here, but that isn't for a lack of work on my AIF projects. In fact, I've been really quite busy when it comes to AIF matters. I have two quick updates about some projects.

Simpler AIF

Right now I'm working on an extension for the AIF Toolkit that will introduce arousal mechanics. It is essentially an expansion on the Orgasm Control plug-in and can handle things like erections and simultaneous orgasms. I expect it to be out next week and, while this particular feature isn't backwards compatible requires some work to update to existing Simpler AIF projects, it is entirely optional.

This release will be 0.6.0. The next major release after that will be 1.0.0. The only other major feature I want to add to the AIF Toolkit is some sort of penetration and joining system that can be seen in School Dreams 2. I have an idea for a positions system similar to the one in that game but, since that's something I'd never consider using personally, I might save it for later.

Another thing I'd like to see in Simpler AIF is a bunch of templates that basically can be copy-pasted into a project, so that all you really need to do is fill out the descriptions and *poof* a fully featured AIF scene. That's going to be pretty labor intensive but, because I'm likely to use it myself, it might get done sooner rather than later.

If you have any requests, I'd like to hear them.

Soccer Story

I haven't written about this in a while. I became extremely dissatisfied with the gameplay and I basically discarded it and have restarted from scratch. Disappointing, since I sunk a lot of time into it, but I am a perfectionist so, for me, it's sometimes better to delete everything than put out something mediocre. What I'm going for now is gameplay that feel less "simulationist" and more "arcade-like" with special moves and simplified, RPG-like mechanics.

I am also thinking about reworking the interface to make it easier on myself. I'm looking at the menu-based interface of Corruption of Champions (but without any of the rather odd fetishes) as a model. I7 can actually handle these sorts of interfaces, but I'll need to delve into Glimmr which is something I find quite difficult to understand right now.
