Progress Report - November 15, 2022
🕑 Added 2022-11-16 11:33:58 +0000 UTCHello, everyone! Pretend this post was made on Monday, November 14.
As per last week's Progress Report, I am taking a short break from my films pipeline to shore up other ideas that have fallen to the wayside over the past few months.
There's three main projects I am focusing my attention on: Batcat, DOAFACU, and the hitherto-unspoken project that I've only teased once so far.
Batcat took up the vast majority of last week. What started out as a 15-minute job to upgrade Selina's nipples to the new, better shapes, ended up becoming, like, a 5-day job of completely rebuilding her and her Catsuit.
All because I was a dumb-dumb when I built her, and never saved the morphs for her bodyshapes (something I always do normally; but Selina had a troubled development from the very beginning, so I am not surprised this got lost in the chaos). Which mean I had to rebuild her from scratch, and all the work that entails.
Then there were further complications from the way her suit is built. Since her suit is all a single contiguous piece, I can't split it between upper and lower - there would be a visible seam where the two pieces connect, which is ugly. So, I had to make a unique suit mesh for every single variant. In total, there are 12 unique uppers, and 9 unique lowers. 12 x 9 = 108 unique suit meshes. In total, her working file is now over 3.5GB in filesize.
And then I had to custom-tune the bodymorphs for all 108 suit meshes, because Batcat requires her to have some bodymorphs tuning her shape off from non-canon. Specifically, making her more voluptuous than canon, so she contrasts better from Babs.
Speaking of Babs, I had to do a fair bit of work on Babs. Though, compared to Selina's 5-day saga, Babs barely took 2. Her bookkeeping was better, allowing for a quick and painless update of her nipple mesh, and her suit - while also one piece, and so needing all of its variants - has much less complexity. She still has 9 lowers, but she only has 3 uppers, because she doesn't have a zipper, and so the upper can only be torn, and there's only one real way to tear it (and one way to cut it, hence the 3 uppers). So rather than 12 x 9, Babs only has 3 x 9 = 27 suit variants, which is much more manageable. She also needed bodymorph on her suit, so I can make her breasts slightly smaller to better fit her petite frame, and make the contrast to Selina more pronounced.
If you've been counting days, then you'll realize that Babs and Selina took 7 days between them. And the particularly astute among you might have realized that there are 7 days in a week. Which means that I was working on Selina and Babs all the way from last Monday's Progress Report, up to this Monday.
And if you're especially intuitive and prone to deduction, dear reader, you may have postulated that this is the reason why there was no Monday Patreon post. And you would be correct.
I wanted to make some headway on the Batcat Storyboard, before posting it here. I managed to make a little bit of progress on it Monday, but not enough that I'm comfortable sharing it - I want to at least get to the point where they start getting hot and bothered, and right now I'm only now getting out of the inciting incident between them (Selina teasing Babs by claiming she mistook Batgirl for a stripper, "given the cheap latex and the stripper boots").
After a week of solid burn on Batcat, I decided to detour and instead return my attention to DOAFACU, which is another of the three projects I wanted to explore during my break.
Before I get into it, I want to clarify some terminology.
DOAFantasy : Dead Or Alive Fantasy. The body-standard convention that all of the ladies here have, with wide hips, big butts, and absolutely massive bigger-than-their-heads tits. So named because the original idea came from how many hentai artists draw the DOA ladies with massively large breasts, far larger than their already-appreciable canon sizes. They are fantastical. Hence, the name.
DOAFACU : Dead Or Alive Fantasy Aardvarkian Cinematic Universe. The massive, overlying project I have been writing starring the 14 DOAFantasy ladies above, all with their own unique personalities, stories, quirks, and character arcs, as well as a massive interweaving story that binds them all together into a single cohesion plot.
DOAFHeist : DOAFantasy Heist. The culmination of the DOAFACU. Once all of the individual character arcs are resolved, and all of the characters are together, they all come together to pull off one massive Ocean's Eleven-style heist. Their goal: stealing an ancient artifact that was used to capture the fertility-demon Nyotengu's fertility, and restore her ability to have children - with her thirteen sexy big-tiddy wives. Yes, this high-level story is very similar to Overbreed. Yes, this was written first. Yes, it was recycled into Overbreed because Overbreed is much more approachable. No, this won't stop me from aspiring to make the DOAFHeist as well.
With all of that out of the way, this leads us here, to today's image. The DOAFACU Outfit Matrix. I am going to eschew the details, and instead just say this: DOAFACU is a very large project that I have been slowly putting together over the past few years. You may have noticed the mass quantity of outfits I've been putting together for the unreleased DOAFantasy Prototype 4 body, 32 outfits made and teased thus far. This is why.
And as you can tell, I need more. Obviously, not all of the outfits I've made fit into this matrix. Indeed, not all of them are made for DOAFACU. In fact, none of them are made for DOAFACU. I've been picking and building outfits under the explicit mindset of "could people come up with stories for characters in this outfit?" It just so happens that some of those stories coincidence with the DOAFACU. The majority of them, however, do not. Except maybe for Tina, whose into cosplay, and as such could technically wear any of the outfits and it'd be canon to the DOAFACU.
I've also made some progress on that third project. But nothing to share yet.
Going to be taking the rest of the week off to continue focus on these things. Maaaaybe next week, too. I expected Batcat to take 3 days tops, storyboarding included. Not 7 days just to be able to start storyboarding. So, that mucks all my plans up.
That's all for now. Until next time, everyone. I've attached the full-resolution Outfit Matrix to the bottom of this post. Not sure if anyone wants these question-mark-riddled images, but they're there if you do.

I appreciate every bit of the details of your hardwork and dedication. Cannot wait to hear more about BatCat and I am literally on edge for more updates for your third project... Keep up the goodwork
