Nose Piercing
Right now, the nose piercing is focused on the septum, but if there’s enough interest, I’d love to expand it to other areas of the nose in future updates. This actually turned out to be one of the easiest accessories I’ve ever implemented: once attached to the character’s head, it follows position and rotation perfectly.
Navel Piercing
This one required a lot more work.
Because the character has a pregnancy blendshape, the stomach can expand, so the piercing needed to dynamically follow those changes. To handle this I created precise position data for every 10 points on the blendshape (from 0 to 100), and the system automatically lerps the in-between values (e.g., 15, 27, 32) for a perfectly smooth transition.
There are currently two navel piercings available in the store, and they behave beautifully no matter the body state.
What’s next?
Those items will be available in the next build, which is planned to release this month. The patch notes are massive this time and will include the first part of a new level.
Meanwhile, If you have ideas for new piercing locations or want different styles for the nose or navel area, feel free to tell me!
