[Rough] v0.5.2: Dress up Only Build, New Outfit Items, Icons, Conditional Outfitpools, Various Fixes, Pose Mode Improvements

Hey peeps sorry this build is so late in the month! I originally wanted to release this build by Valentine's day. I wanted this release to have more than just outfit items but I didn't really succeed on that front. I got concerned about breaking things and then just struggled to find a way to move forward for a while...

So sadly I couldn't do any major animation or sex sim updates.

What's new

• Nearly 60 new outfit items, including a new valentines set!
• Lots of Cloth Physics! This is probably a bad idea; I look forward to screenshots of the physics fucking up...
• UI improvements to dress up, and new icons (the icons suck i'll redo them later)
• Naomi now has a different set of items depending on Act, and also a different set based on conditions. In Act 4 if Naomi's horniness is high enough she'll wear different clothing each day. More will be added to this but I'm a bit limited due to a lack of panties options for now.
• You can now hit [Tab] to hide the UI
• You can now hit [P] to take a screenshot
• Pose mode also has a button for taking screenshots at 2x size, among some other fixes for pose mode. 

Fixes

• Act 0 soft lock should be fixed but there may be other issues
• Audio for sex sim is now fixed, along with fixes for animation specific triggers
• SSAO can no longer be toggled in-game due to potential crash
• Other fixes I probably forgot

Dress Up Only Releases

One thing I did this month was make a tool for devs helping me to see current outfit items easily. Be it for preview purposes or story reasons. I decided to expand the setup a bit, and now I think this might be good to release in general. 

Perhaps this will be the free release for a while, so people can at least see what's being added. What do you think? At minimum I want to release this so people can see new content sooner. So even if I can't get a proper release ready, people can at least preview new items.

This will be in a separate post for all supporters.

What's the deal with Linux and OSX?

As you might have noticed I haven't released a Linux and OSX version for a while. This is for a few reasons.

Recent builds have been built with IL2CPP which helps improve the performance of the build. I can't do this with OSX without getting a mac computer. I

I can make Linux builds but... I have no idea why but the performance just isn't good. 

There's also a bunch of other issues, shader issues, graphical issues just a whole mess of stuff. I recently made a build for linux and tested it against a windows build on my Steamdeck. 

THE WINDOWS BUILD PERFORMED TWICE AS GOOD, and looked better. HDR worked, everything was just peachy. Proton (experimental) has just gotten that good.

So, for me I could spend all this time trying to fix the Linux build and make it work properly, or just ask people to use proton like they use for every other game coming out now. 

OSX also has inherant performance issues by currently being forced to use mono, plus I can't really test the build myself. So, besides performance issues there's visual or other bugs I might not know about. And getting a mac that can run the game would cost at least $1000?

Which is money I don't have while I need to pay for all these assets and animations, especially considering the relative market size is tiny. It's not like android which represents at least 1/3 of my users.

Any feedback on this problem would be appreciated. I will include an OSX and Linux build in the post with this release so you can see for yourself. 

What's Next?

Next release will focus on a slew of new animations for cinematics and activities! I won't specify what specific activities at this time but they should be lewd...

New outfit items will come too, I had to refamiliarize myself with implementing outfit items but now I should be doing the process monthly now. Now that we have what we need for general story gameplay, the focus from now is things like panties and lewd items. But there's a severe lack of panties first and foremost...

I also want to add more gropes to sex sim and more buffs and debuffs.

Next month SHOULD have a release. 

Conclusion

I'm sorry this release is smaller than intended, but next month should have a ton of new content to chew on!
