December 19, 2023 - Sapporo, Japan - SmileBoom Co.Ltd. today announces the release of update version 1.7 of RPG Developer Bakin (it is pronounced BAH-keen), which adds a toon shader and blend shape function to enhance the visual style of the games you create. In addition, we would also like to offer the "SmileBoom Winter Sale 2023" with 10% off RPG Developer Bakin and DLCs (until December 21, 2023 at 10:00 AM PST).
Ver. 1.7, which implements the toon shader, blend shapes, and consumption status additions, is now available.
The last major update of the year included the toon shader and blend shape function, as well as the ability to add consumption statuses. This allows 3D models to have cartoon style appearance and more finely customized facial animation. In addition, the ability to freely add "consumption statuses," which can have a maximum value and a current value, has been implemented to allow for more in-depth game design.

RPG Developer Bakin Ver. 1.7 Update Overview
Tone Shader to increase the options for visual style:
A cartoon style appearance can be achieved by assigning the "toon shader" to materials in the FBX model and setting the parameters. It is now possible to adjust various parameters as well as specify outlines.
Easily animate facial expressions on 3D models! Blend shape function:
Blend shapes (morphing) can now be used to create "clips" that combine keys in the model and call these clips from events. This function is mainly utilized to animate the facial expressions of 3D models. The conversation event-related functions have also been expanded, making it easier to use 3D models as standing pictures for conversations.
Additional Feature of Consumption Statuses:
It is now possible to freely create statuses that can have a maximum value and a current value, like "hit points (HP)". For example, "special moves can be used when Heat Points are full," "stamina consumption for battle commands can be set for each character," and so on. You can use them in various ways, depending on your ingenuity. 
Many other features have been added and improved.
Please take this opportunity to try your hand at creating games with "RPG Developer Bakin".
