After postponing the game\u2019s release date from spring to summer 2026 due to its crowdfunding campaign being \u201ctoo successful\u201d and amassing over 1,690% of the original goal<\/a>, publisher ILLUMINATION recently announced that Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns <\/strong>would be coming to Steam on August 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Super Real Mahjong is one of Japan\u2019s classic, if not the most well-known, \u201cstrip mahjong\u201d game franchises. Starting out in the 80s as an arcade title, the series later expanded to consoles and PC, and is finally going to see a big comeback with its first 3D VR-supported installment, Super Real Mahjong Venus Returns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a recent interview with Famitsu<\/a>, the game\u2019s producer Kentaro Matsui and director Yoshi-K talked about the level of detail that went into creating the game, and specifically, the development process behind the stripping animations of the four heroines. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

According to Yoshi-K, before being implemented into the game via motion capture, various stripping motions were tested out in real life by the development team members themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe put a lot of effort into making the stripping process enjoyable. This time we used motion capture for the undressing motions, but in order to test it, all of us game designers came together and actually tried taking off our own clothes. We\u2019d get serious critique on how us old guys strip clothes, like \u2018Mr Yoshi-K, you\u2019re unzipping that a little bit too fast\u2019 (laughs). That\u2019s the kind of process the motions were gradually built upon,\u201d Yoshi-K commented. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The animation process itself was very detailed, especially for the animations of the clothes being stripped. While motion tracking was mainly used for capturing the undressing movements themselves, everything else, including the stretching of the fabric, was done by hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTechnically speaking, our approach is quite similar to claymation. The designers put a lot of determination and effort into animating the 3D models for the clothes, making them move manually bit by bit,\u201d Yoshi-K said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
