Version 0.64.X
🕑 Added 2023-06-30 21:42:45 +0000 UTCI really wanted this to be a fun update dedicated to pride month, but certain things regarding player experiences online caught me off-guard and threw a monkey wrench in the moral gear box. Let's just say that certain people should NOT be playing this game, let alone going into online mode and ruining the experience for the rest of players with their BS. The response to these events (which I will not get into detail here...) was a revisit of the game's server code in order to allow player-made report tickets, blocking and permanent banning of any problematic or undesirable player from either another client or server-wide.
Given the nature of this game and it's online feature, it is extremely important for me to provide players with a sense of security while playing out on the stage this game establishes.
- Players can now block and unblock any other players online. This will affect every character they roll, as to prevent incognito comebacks or encounters. Blocked players simply won't be visible, will not see you, nor will they be notified about your block.
- Reports regarding inappropriate player behavior can be sent to the server, which admins can review and execute accordingly, should any server-side ban needs to be applied.
- gm_plist command UI received some temporary visual enhancements in order to accomodate all of the above. It is also a permanent UI for online mode now, which can be minimized. Player names appear on the top-right corner of your screen, which you may click on to expand and see more options pertaining that player.
- Items can now have tattoos applied as custom overlays. Speak to Kult as you normally would, have him import your tattoo, then you may apply it to items using their coloring panel; the character doesn't need to display the tattoo on their skin, meaning you may disable it on your inventory and instead use it on a specific item. These also work online, though mind the bandwidth use and avoid making your character a bit too heavy on those.
- Added two new pairs of greek style sandals.
- Improved connection speed for all incoming players.
- More changes to custom tattoo streaming.
- Fixed shader error spam for even more hairstyles that used an outdated shader.
- Smoothed body hair effect around the buttcheeks.
Patch 0.64.1
- Fixed a DC+freezing during online mode.
- Added repainted eyebrow textures.
Patch 0.64.2
- Fixed memory leak issue during online data transfer of custom asset data.
- Implemented a quick hack for users having issues with camera rotation speed while using the mouse. Enable the temporary feature by writing halincam in the console.
Patch 0.64.3
- Fixed jumpy behavior on computer-controlled NPCs while they walk.
- Networked object placement and update processes and synchronization optimized.
This one might require a patch or two, as usual. Get it here.

That's great news! I hope it doesn't cost too much dev time to get running.

I am gearing up for that and reading through the documentation of the new VR implementation in Unity.

How's the reimplementation of VR coming along? If I really want to see the beefy bois in VR can I just download 0.55 again?

I never play those online games... so, I hardly can even imagine what those people can do so abusive in an adult game, that it makes everyone so mad.

The general goal is to continue the story, add more interactive poses, new apparel items and wrapping up the combat system that will turn the console and scroll commands into an incentive, similar to how buffs were turned into exploration rewards. There is also a building mode that can't be released until streaming of custom data is more solid online. Improving existing character visuals and location assets is also a thing I will be tending to.

You know I haven't actually read the little of these updates for the last year or two. Is there a production document or anything I can reference for the state of the project and future plans?

Dealing with online community problems like this sucks. I'm glad you're taking the steps to be a good steward.
