Hi, thanks for the reply! Yeah, the textures definitely need touching up - that was a case of texturing before animating, and once the arms were moved it became apparent that the textures had a gap. Still touching up to do for things like that, thanks for mentioning it. It took about a week to do the model, but work was on-and-off so it's hard to time.
For raising affection, there will be other interactions such as patting her head, or rubbing her shoulders. The higher her affection is, her body language will change to indicate how close you are to handholding.
We planned on having interactable items on the table so you could do things like feed her cake or give her a drink but we weren't able to do that with the time constraints we have, so for now it's cut down to just various touch interactions. If we keep developing after the jam then expanding the interactions is going to be the first thing we look at so you can do all manner of cute/fun stuff.
