Project Sugar Cake has officially released in BETA!

With the BETA launch I consider SCake properly usable, while it's not perfect and still needs a lot of work, the framework is in a state where people could easily use it in-game and it's in a state where animation support should be fairly straight forward. I've created a downloads page for SCake which automatically comes with its own thread. I'll try to continue updating this thread as long as people are interested, though I will be simplifying some things since I've stretched myself a bit thin trying to update information in too many places.

 

I plan to discontinue the SCake_BasicsAnimPak and instead create a new animation pack that will release on it's own with more polished animations that take advantage of the framework in a much better way. I'll leave the pak attached to this post to keep it around for those that want it, and until the other animation pack is released I'll continue to recommend it.

A lot of stuff is being considered, I recommend checking the SubscribeStar post as it feels a bit much to put here.

 

[ (_) ] Current Road Map [ (_) ]

1 ) Create Lust Module

2 ) Work on making some animations (seriously)

3 ) Research sockets system for dynamic attachments and furniture support

4 ) Investigate/prototype model replacer framework

 

On Hold ) Work on multiplayer support

On Hold ) Introduce a built-in SCake Notif-system for animations to trigger certain effects (like changing arousal meshes or changing eyes/mouth)

[ (_) ] Project Sugar Cake – Objective / Goal [ (_) ]

The goal of this project is to create a gameplay oriented Sex and Stat framework as well as create some gameplay style modules to integrate Sex, Reproduction, and Erotic concepts into the general gameplay loop of Palworld. This mod will include 2 elements, first is the base framework with all the features and stat tracking which mods can grab or hook into to use in their own mods, then the gameplay module portion which will add actions and features that integrate the framework into the game. Initially these 2 features will be developed as one (just easier to develop this way and avoids some issues) but hopefully in the future we can separate different gameplay elements into their own modules as optional additions. The general concept is to leave things as open and loose as possible so modders can integrate their own systems however they please without conflict.

 

Note : These are only planned features and may change through-out development.

 

Planned features

[ Framework ]

- [Included] Animation support

- [Included] Dynamic Gender/Sex Support

- Systematic AI Configurations (Presets mods can use for plug-and-play support)

- [Included] Pal Sexual Desire System (Pal Heat) (includes human characters)

- Sexual Overlays / Effects Support (cum decals, wet dripping, ect)

- Pregnancy System (dynamic breeding from animations, breeding pen support)

- Sex Object/Item Support (furniture, toys, items like sperm/milk)

- [Included] Additional Stats System (May add custom traits/passives)

- Preferences System (affecting heat and breeding traits systems)

- [Included] Dynamic and User Configurable Metadata/Tagging System

- [Included] User Configurable (and mod configurable) parameters for most, if not all, features

- Proper multiplayer support (private dedicated servers only)

[ Gameplay Module ]

- Pal Interact System (think pet, but like, much more sweaty?)

- Pal Lusting System (tied to dynamic AI and Heat system)

 

Being worked on by another modder

- Combat Submission System

 

Considered, but currently out-of-scope

(If any modders are looking in here, and would like to build these systems as modules, let me know!)

- Relationship / Love System

- Dynamic World Sex Events (NPCs in the world engaging in sex through special events, like caged pal events)

- Breeding Goals and Pal Market

- Brothel Module/Support

- Integrated Unique Models (If someone supplies these, I can add them, but I don’t think I’ll have time to add them myself)

- Attractiveness System (dynamic value similar to heat/cold)

- Unique ‘Sex’ Skills

- Dynamic Age System (May re-consider depending on how difficult it would be to implement)

- Family Tree System (May re-consider depending on how difficult it would be to implement)

- Direct Restraint/Bondage Implementation

- Bulging / Cumflation (would require specific model and animation support)

 

 

[ (_) ] Additional Notes [ (_) ]

 

Fetish Support

I’ve seen a lot of suggestions for various types of fetish content, so I want to make a note clear about this and my stance. I will not be personally blocking any fetish content if someone wishes to add it. If someone is making a mod and needs support for a specific fetish, please let me know what you would need of the framework and I can add it to the doc for support. I want to create an open framework that would allow users the most freedom possible, I’m not going to force morals.

 

External Mod Support

It’s inevitable that some mods will be incompatible and some creators will act maliciously to prevent other creators from working on compatibility. So, to ensure things go as smoothly as possible, I will be focusing on support on mods closest to the base game first and will only work on support for mods that are freely available to everyone without major restrictions. I will not work on support for mods that are paywalled, that’s on them to figure out, though I won’t block such efforts in any way. When the base game features are working then I can work on additional support features for mods that deviate from the base game.

 

Old Thread Info and Updates
I've uploaded a DevPost Archive odt file to the SCake GDrive folder under Archive for anyone curious about the thread's previous updates. Since I've updated the thread here to be much more simplified and easier to update later if need be, I figured it would be worth archiving that information for future reference.

will keep an eye on this. I do hope progress will go well. 

[Demonwise]

Wow, ok, good luck. I feel like your going to need it along with a hefty does of pragmatism, persistence and patience. Definitely wish you the best of luck with this.

[Lonewolf222]

Ambitious!  As I hope your in for the long term,  you should hope the developers of Palworld are too!(they seem pretty awesome,  so don't worry too much about it,  but we've all been wrong before)!  This mod will take a long long time to develop,  so be sure your invested and love the game enough to get through it.

 

Reading that though,  it sounds magnificent.

Hey there, I thought I recognized your name! Joined the discord, interested in seeing where this goes.

[gloryworm]

This is awesome! I hope the 'Sweaty' Interaction system would include different ways I can show affection to my Pals! Such as hugging, kissing, and cuddling and the like. That alone would make it mod of the year, for me.

[Spirit_Shard]

EDIT : Forgot to mention at the top here, I updated the main post. I know not everyone scrolls back after checking replies so I'll try and note when I do update it in my replies like this. ^-^

-- -- --

Ok, got a lot of stuff done in the last few days and tired of writing after my weekly update post, but here's the run-down. People were having trouble getting animations into the game properly and things were breaking in unexpected ways, I was able to finally figure out the issue (as well as a ton of other export/import issues) and finally got full custom animations in-game and functioning properly! This work allows us to both add new animations as well as replace existing ones!

(Arm Wave Test showing the start and stop functionality of the framework with a custom animation) 

I cover the issue with the why and how in my weekly update post - https://subscribestar.adult/posts/1160698
 

Too keep multiple sources of information going however, I'll give a very quick notes version. =^-^=

We can't export the full skeleton since they used UE5's compressed skeleton features, this means when we export a skeleton it's only those from individual meshes, which doesn't have all the bones and may not always interpret the correct bone index order. UE5 needs the correct bone index order for baking animations into the game and having them read/work properly. To fix this, you have to look at the accompanying skeleton file with FModel and look near the bottom for the full indexing names and their intended indexing order (the "FinalNameToIndexMap" section). Then add any bones you're missing and remove extra bones, you can re-add any of those removed bones you intend to use for testing your model/animation/ect at the end but it won't be used by the game (so we can't animate UE5 sockets this way, which sucks). Note, our export tools also interpret sockets as bones, so those need to be removed. If the hierarchy matches for the bones you're using, then you're golden and can import animations made with that skeleton! Just import that skeleton with your animation so it can use it as a target (or set your target to the appropriate skeleton you've already imported if doing multiple animations), move it to the correct place in the file structure, and booya! Working animation!

I may make a simple explainer guide within the next few days which will be a bit easier to understand and follow. If you're an animator and interested in trying to create some animations for the framework, please don't hesitate to contact me! Our Discord - The Broken Chatbox - https://discord.gg/h3vB7S4FEw - is the easiest way to reach me and communicate about projects.

For the sake of brevity I'll save other info for when I have more concrete things to share, this was just the biggest breakthrough over the last couple days I've had, but don't worry, I've been working on much more! I've also been working with the community to help reverse engineer the game and find various functions/methods which will make a lot of development easier.

For my next step I'd like to work on getting the animation system in-place with a basic "female solo" animation for the player and actually release something for player to play with! Warning, it will be extremely basic and I'll probably leave in some debug stuffs for function, but it'll be something! (Since animations weren't really importing properly before I hadn't had anyone make animations yet, so I may make a simple solo animations myself to implement, just as a sampler of sorts. Experienced animators will certainly do much better than me >.<)

Honestly, I had seen your user name on that other discord and thought "do I know that person? Name seems familiar" lol. I'm always curious if people that know me elsewhere ever find me here, and what they think of it... >.<

I'd love to help implement better pet and hugging animations, not even in a sexual way, just a cute way! This type of functionality will really depend on what animators come up with and want, it does look like Project Sour Cake will also work as an animation framework as well. There would be support in the framework to tag and support these kinds of animations. ^-^

[platysalty]

Finally, someone crazy enough has decided to attempt this for Palworld. Gonna watch this closely. Mods like this always end up being interesting to mess around with

[likkyzero]

this will be interesting to toy around with when it comes out, though additional question is will this add stuff to the breeding pen when used normally? (don't care if it doesn't its just weird to see them do nothing not even look at each other occasionally or walk together) so pals don't just wander around doing nothing

[kitsune wizard]

You (r group?) are (is?) doing god's work.

[Icarus-]

had to double check this wasn't installed in my browser

[ramblingsurvivor]

I never post here but I signed in just to say awesome! Will happily monetarily support this if I can. I just wanna seggs some pals, lol

[MannDR]

Wish you good luck, love that idea

Updated main post for new progress and notes, also updated project name to Project Sugar Cake (SCake for short)

-- -- --

Slight switch up, I was going to release a really limited test release using just my test bp mod, kinda like a public 'proof of concept', but my test mod is a complete mess and I didn't think it would really have a lot of purpose. So instead, I'm working on a proper Alpha release for the mod with a similar goal, getting solo player animations functioning first but now also with full animation import systems operational. Depending on how things go I may have more features in this initial release but I'm not certain quite yet. >.< This does mean I won't have a release this week, but I'm aiming for soon!

I did release a doc covering how Project Sugar Cake works however, and thought I'd detail it here. The doc is linked in discord but may update over time and I didn't want to link directly here, but here's what it contains.

This doc covers how SCake animations work and what metadata/configuration is available directly on animations. This doc will be distributed with a template mod for people to make their own animations and integrate them into the framework. I'll also try working on a proper tutorial for getting custom animations into the game using different methods, including some new tools that didn't exist before. I'd really like to hear thoughts on the Metadata, specifically is there anything I missed or any concerns people have? Making the framework and metadata simple to use but also flexible has been quite the challenge and is taking a lot longer than I initially anticipated (and I knew it would be hard >.<).
 

Sugar Cake - Metadata.txt (Feb. 9th, 2024)
Note : All data contained here is subject to change. Formatting may look a bit weird, was originally written and formatted on Notepad++.

Spoiler

This document lists/explains configuration and metadata for Sugar Cake (SCake) animations. Not all parameters are required, but filling them in is recommended.

 

: DISCLAIMER :
    Project Sugar Cake is incomplete, these are just the currently PLANNED systems and are not all currently in and functional. Please have patience as systems are integrated over time.

 

    This document makes the system 'look' really complex, but really to get an animation going you just need a single animation montage within UE5 and you can set up an animation event, however for the optimal experience you'll want at least 1 preclimax animation, 1 climax, and 1 postclimax animation. (If you lack any of these, you can just set the same animation for each stage)

 

[> Systems Explainer <]

    Project Sugar Cake features a highly customizable animation system for both animators and users with the goal of allowing animators to take advantage of the full animation montage system in UE5 while still integrating with the game and allowing users to customize and create their own animation events. To better understand the systems let's go over how SCake works. SCake uses what I call "Animation Events", these events consist of various individual animations stringed together in 'stages' with metadata both specific to each animation as well as the animation event as a whole. Each individual animation is registered into SCake, then Animation Events can be configured to use any animation. Animators are encouraged to create their own Animation Events that act as a full scene, but this is not required since users will be able to configure those animations into their own events as they desire. Players can also choose to manually play through Animation Events and select animations they like.

 

    'Paths' are critical to the dynamic systems of Animation Events. Erotic animations play through on 3 paths that are configured dynamically. The first path is the 'normal' path, this is the main animation's playtime without any climax. Non-Erotic animations will always use this first path exclusively and assume no climax. The second path is the climax path, this consists of animations both for climax animations with a limited number of climaxing actors as well as in-sync climax animations when all actors are at climax. If not all actors have climaxed after the animations on the second path has finished then it transitions back to the first path, but if all actors have climaxed then it transitions to the final path. This third path is a short post-climax animation use as a 'finishing touches' style animation. (Additionally what triggers this post-climax animation can be configured by the framework, such as entering only after all actors climax, or only after all included males climax, ect.)

    

    These examples assume automatic (or at least linearly played) animations with a fixed end time, however users can change how events play out or choose to play individual animations with switching to climax animations automatically or by the user's input.

 

    All this sounds great, however not all animation packs will feature the full set of animations available, so some 'orgasm effects' may be applied instead depending on how each Animation Event is configured. Some strangeness can also occur if climax animations are not in sync with the animation it is transitioning from, such as switching from doggy style to missionary style, some care should be taken when configuring animations. Also, certain fetishes may not fit into this mold. In these cases where the system doesn't fit your needs you can create custom events using UE5 Anim Montages with SCake Module integration for the desired effect.

 

[> Physical Gender/Sex Assignment <]

    For the sake of simplicity, 'Gender/Sex' definitions are entirely determined by the lower portion of the body and have nothing to do with identity. Currently (at the time of writing) the base game only supports Male and Female, however SCake defines bodies as having certain physical sex organs, such as vagina, penis, breasts, penis+vagina, anus. Users will be able to configure what each Pal Type has so it can match their customized game properly.

 

[> Additional Notes <]

    - Proper initial configuration is important, if you're an animator and struggling to configure your animations please contact me or post over on our Discord for help and we can get things rolling! ^-^
    - Although the framework will support automatic sound configurations, custom sounds can be played through the Anim Montage system itself. (Call the SCake Event to play built-in animation sounds)
    - External objects (furniture) can be defined, but are not required.
    - 'Equips' (like toys) will be supported by the framework but can also be applied through Anim Montages and Modules

 

[> Limitations <]

    - Gender assignment is limited to male / female within the game, an additional framework would be required to change this and support more. Manual option to allow one to act as the other will be available.
    - If an Anim Montage has invalid metadata then it can't be used in the framework. Most options will have defaults to fall back on but requirements must be filled.
    - If an Animation Event features an invalid animation it won't be usable, all animations must have valid data and align with the other animations in the event. (For example, a penis/penis animation can't transition to a vagina/penis animation by default)

IMPORTANT NOTE :
    It is important to configure animations and these parameters correctly to provide users the best experience. It's worth learning some of UE5's animation montage features before you begin animating to better understand how these systems can be used.

User Configuration :
    Users will be able to change all animation configurations or even blend stages from different animations together to create their own animation events. This means if something isn't working correctly, this can be adjusted by the user.

[> Key-Terms <]
    SCake_
        Prefix applied to callable Sugar Cake functions, makes them easier to find in the BP system.
    Animation Event
        Animation Event refers to all Stages of a partiular event
    Stage
        Animations are divided into 'stages' where each stage has its own designated animation. Animators can define how each stage behaves and how long each stage is expected to last. By default stages progress linearly and automatically but users can choose to manually progress stages.

[> Parameters <]

 

    Note : Currently there is no sound implementation for the framework, so sounds must be done manually through the Animation Montages themselves. In the future custom sound events and options may be added.

                    - Automatically calculated based on included animations, only includes sets that match in all animations
Req        Stages : SCake Stage Struct|Array [Check Stage Parameters]
                    [Required] Reference Animations by Name for each stage in order (Array slot 0 is the first stage) and optional configurations, the final stage is used as the post-climax animation by default
        HasPostClimax : Boolean
                    While true, enables the post-climax animation, otherwise the animation event ends after all actors have had a climax, skipping the post-climax animation
        PostClimaxStage : Integer
                    [Optional] While IncludePostClimax is True, sets which stage is the Post-Climax Animation, if invalid then the last stage is used
        StageOrder : Integer|Array [Stage Parameters]
                    [Optional] The order to play stages in, will play linearly if left empty
                    - Will play linearly if left unfilled, invalid stage numbers are ignored
        UseUniqueDuration : Float
                    [Optional] When set above 1.0, the Animation Event will ignore the framework's time duration settings and use this instead
            - Duration can still be forced globally by the framework settings, this is just so users can configure individual animations

 

    [> Stage Parameters <]

Req        AnimByName : String
                    [Required] Gets animation to play by name
                    - Only required if AnimByPath is not entered manually
Auto    AnimByPath : String

                    [Optional] Alters the animation playback speed
        DurationWeight : Float
                    [Optional] How much of the total time this animation should attempt to take up before the final climax animations, adjusts based on a percentage, non-looping animations ignore this setting
                    - By default this expects a percentage, so 1.0 = 100% and 0.6 = 60%, however it calculates based on average and non-looping durations
                    - Non-looping animations ignore this setting and just play through once, but may end early if not enough time is allowed
        StartTime : Float
                    [Optional] Start time for the animations when it begins playing
                    - Default is set to the selected animation value

                    - Default is set to the selected animation value
                    - Use this setting to either end non-looping animations early or make looping animations into non-looping animations

If you have any thought or questions, don't be afraid to ask! =^-^=

...will this add stuff to the breeding pen when used normally? (don't care if it doesn't its just weird to see them do nothing not even look at each other occasionally or walk together) so pals don't just wander around doing nothing

I do plan to alter the breeding pen, but I haven't investigated it yet. There is an AIAction_BreedingPen in the game (don't remember if that's the exact name or not, but I know how to find it >.<) so I should be able to look into that and figure out how to tell what's in the pen, then just have them lust after each other!~ ^.-

The main question is what to do when I start implementing proper breeding/pregnancy systems. (Those systems are still not fully mapped out)

I'm in the discord, but I need to post more on LL so I can actually do stuff on my account.
So, I will state here as well that I look forward to further progress (=w=)b

Can't wait for this to release. So far, it seems the most promising.

Now if only we could get decent pal models that aren't just slapping boobs and human dicks onto everything.

We definitely need models with more.... "animalistic properties" to their anatomy, for sure

no guarantees that it'll be made into a mod, given that I have no experience in 3D modelling or modding Palworld, but I am working on concept art for a lewd Loupmoon that largely stays true to the original design

atm, i only have a basic concept for the dick, but i will be working on a full version for both male and female sometime soon

how can i follow the project live? i checked the discord and there was nothing related to the palworld mod that i was aware of tbh

Yeah, as nice as some of the models I've seen are, a lot just are too far off the base. I've not fully against boobs or anything, but, like, the trend is either torpedo tits or gigahonkers on everything, and human dicks everywhere. And some are almost full redesigns. It just feels like there's an extreme lack of creativity and inspiration, and they're defaulting to the most basic concepts without thinking about the context. 

Can't they just add the fun bits without going so over the top? I want pals with fun parts, not pals that are borderline unrecognizable. Pals are already super cool as they are, they just need the parts.

This is what I like to see. Creative, but sticking to the concept the pal embodies. All Loupmoon(my literal favorite) needs is a pussy/dick that fits their design. Maybe well shaped boobs poking out from under the fluff if done well, but not the seemingly standard torpedos or gigaboobs. And even then, no tits would be perfectly fine sine their fluff leaves a lot to the imagination, and imagination is far more powerful than actual visuals.

It sounds like you'd like PaulitoZ's mods. He usually just adds parts to creatures. He's just one guy but he covered a few. including Cattiva, Depresso, Lamball, Daedream, Flopie and Chillet. he doesn't add breasts. he just slaps genitals on.

Recently he's started upgrading the jiggle physics for the male parts.

Just for funsies, here's an update to the peen, drew it from a different angle so you can see the ribbed underside better

I've got other stuff I need to work on, but I'm probably gonna work on the fullbodies, or at least the female genitalia sometime within the next few days

Some of their stuff is great, but they do the human dick thing on a lot of them Chillet though? I'm down for that one.

Man, that is magnificent. If you designed and made models like that I would use them and exclusively them. Don't go too crazy with loupmoon though, save some fun design features for other pals!

tyvm (=w=)b
i am planning on doing other pals as well, just starting with Loupmoon bc they're my favorite
i have no experience in modelling or modding Palworld, so unfortunately, i cannot make these myself, though i was thinking about making a thread here once i have at least the Loupmoon finished, so i can post all the concept art i make for any wayward 3D modelers to use. totally free, but with reasonable credit, obviously :v
