New/Updated:

Technical

• Updated UI for interacting with Raven (again). Will probably stick with this system in the future with coded buttons
• First iteration of interaction system, will be improving in future builds with added functionality
• First iteration of full clothing system. All clothes are unlocked in this build (still needs a bit of work in a future build)
• Combined rigs for both hub scene and interaction scenes. Future updates will stick to the rigs for each scene with adjustments (based on character)
• Gift system overhaul
• Over 50+ new animations
• Added footstep sounds for Raven
• Separated intro from the hub scene
• Blocked off unfinished options
• Audio options save to file, will load upon continuing game

Gameplay

• Two interaction options in this build: Makeout and Handjob
• Full clothes and makeup options unlocked for use. (Clothes/Accessories/Makeup/Hairstyle)
• Reduced some dialogue (for now)

Changes:

• Changed UI for interacting with Raven in most ways, now the UI is more streamlined for options currently. Will experiment later on
• Giving gifts has a separate UI instead of just a dialogue tree
• Sound saves to file, closing settings will save the sound options for continued scenes and loading the game.
• Disabled unfinished options, will be completed according to update polls (next two updates already confirmed)

Known Bugs:

• Clipping is a known issue for this build. This will be fixed in the next build

Note:

• Another super large technical update, both user facing and in the backend. I’ll be doing smaller updates to get features out quicker, doing mass updates like this one take several months and it still isn’t where I want it to be, but can’t keep you guys waiting for another month(s)
• Clipping was bugging me for this update, mainly reworking clothes and trying to have it be performant without using an actual clothing sim (definitely would make the game processing intensive). I have a fix for this in the next update though!
• Writing took a huge hit with this update, I just didn’t have the time to go through all the branches and create a decent story with all the other additions to make to the game. The next update is story-focused so I’ll get to work a lot more on storyboarding in general
• As usual let us know if you find any major bugs or game breaking content!

Next Update:

• The next updates (0.1.5.1 and 0.1.5.2) has been determined by my patrons! I’m not jumping to 0.6 just yet as I don’t believe the smaller updates reflect a full update. I’m hoping to knock these out much quicker than this last update
• The intro cutscenes and Raven introduction will be the main focus for the next update. Sounds super backwards that I didn’t get the intro done first, but when you’re creating a simulator game certain things will fall to the backlog for completion. Sorry about that! Hopefully the little sandbox I created can give you a good direction of where I’m heading.
