I had someone ask about playlist mode in the comments section of a previous devlog, so I figured I'd spend some time finishing up work in that area. I've just spent the majority of my Labor Day weekend getting a YouTube playlist system in place which is now available in the most recent update. After spending hours browsing through the Asset Store to try and find a music package that worked well with the dance routine, I finally decided to just make use of YouTube's API since it already contains just about every popular song that exists. Once I had that in place, I went to work building a custom playlist interface to allow players to create and manage their own playlists alongside the included default one. Editing the default playlist is disabled so that you'll always have it available in its original form, but once you create your own you will have free reign to modify as many playlists as you want. All playlists are stored locally using JSON and all you need to do is copy and paste video links to get going. There's a toggle for hiding the list of songs as well as the video if you prefer to keep the UI as unobstructed as possible.

The first time you run the updated playlist mode, you may want to just watch; you'll likely be able to see that the dance routine I put together - which has existed in this mode since it was first released - was created to sync up with the first song on the default playlist, "Selfish" by Britney Spears. As stated in previous devlogs, I plan to add new dance routines in the future, but at the moment they are far from being a priority. Note that when recording these videos, the timing of animations tend to desync a bit, but fingers-crossed that everything syncs up properly when you run it.

I have one more update planned before I take the dive in swapping everything over to the new shader, and that will be the point at which I swap out dressing room mode for a photo shoot mode. This updated mode will work much like the current dressing room does with the addition of several new features including new animations and a camera for taking photos of the waifu. All options that currently exist in the current dressing room mode will be included in the new photo shoot setup, and I plan to use the photo shoot mechanics in both sandbox mode and story mode in the future.

Lastly, I've included the new eye contact mechanics into the current dressing room mode. These updates were discussed in the previous devlog, but this is the first version of the game that includes them for players. I also added a small improvement so that when she looks down her eyelids close slightly, which is a bit more lifelike since previously she would look wide-eyed anytime she was taking a peek at the player's crotch.

I've decided to hold off on sharing any updates to sandbox mode until after I've swapped in the new shader, which is currently planned for the third week of September. It will certainly take me some time to get every material in the game updated and tweaked, but I have been looking forward to taking time off work to get this implemented for a while now and it's about time I get it done. Once the new shader is in place, it shouldn't be but another few weeks until the first release of sandbox mode is ready, the majority of that time going towards the final work on controlling ecchi animations with the mouse and ensuring that it is as bug-free as possible.
