Big'ol Update: v0.2.8.a Release, Dev Status, PSD Files!

I could not find a non-lewd image for this post...

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

Hopefully you saw the art post on my twitter! Maybe I can finally make content for that character this year DX.

Anyway, as I said before for a little while there will be a lul in major updates until we get the gameplay stuff sorted out. From here on let's dub this the "Trainer Update" which may or may not include proper story content. 

So as such I wanted to get a little hot fix out for some problems reported:

• Apparently, arousal increments aren't large enough at the moment, this could be for several reasons. But likely case is lack of gropes. Or maybe some odd issue with "Likes" this will be investigated more later but for now the arousal increments have been doubled. 
• Some performance issues were reported likely as a result of some new graphical features when we moved to Unity 2021.2. Namely point light shadows. So, because of this I've added an "Extra Shadows" option, which will turn off shadows for anything but the sun. This can add 20-30FPS in some cases (Yes seriously). As such it's also off by default now. 
• Additionally, an FPS Limit setting is now available which is useful for keeping GPU usage in check or do things like save battery life. 
• And while a mobile build isn't available yet, "Never Sleep" is now a toggle, allowing the phone screen to turn off normally while playing the game. This may have impact on PC, I don't know.
• Music has been adjusted, and reimplemented properly. Now Title Screen, Daily, and Sex Sim play different music with more to come in due time. I don't think some of you have heard the main daily music before, so that might be nice. 
• A bug with color selection has been fix for the player avatar. 

Known Issues

• There's some oddities where buttons don't work sometimes, not sure what's causing this. Some people have reported entering player customization doesn't work, this isn't true you just might need to click the button multiple times before it will work. It's extremely weird. 
• Graphics settings, particularly ones affecting post processes may not change while the game is running, and thus requires a reload of the game. This is an odd access issue of some kind. 

Expect more updates like this occasionally, but mainly focus is on the gameplay functions especially this month as we're trying to rapidly prototype the new stuff. 

I don't want to talk about what's planned too much cause things are subject to change but we do have a gameplan at the moment. I'll be vague. Where before activities were focused entirely on dialogue, now some activities will just play a shot animation and affect a stat.

Current plan is both the player and Naomi have stat levels, and those stat levels affect things like sex sim. Like for example a stat may affect how many times you can cum, or your maximum speed. Activities you can do and unlock. We're not sure how much it will affect story progress but that might be driven by one or two main stats.

Saving is also being implemented at the same time including outfit saving. At this point saving is the most requested function, so it's practically top priority.

In some side news the robot Naomi concept outfit posted a while ago is roughly finished modeling and still needs texturing and rigging. I meant to finish it last month, but december was quite a lot of down time lol. I aim to get it done this month after the prototyping is complete. 

Some Art

Now days I rarely have time to make paintings and sketches, but when I do I'll try to remember to post PSDs. These are posted for $5 supporters and higher. Don't expect this to be a common occurrence, painting is something I do when I wanna relax.

Check the previous post for this!

Conclusion

Thanks for your support after all this time, I know last year was slow going due to all the refactoring and such. But this year is looking to be huge for the games development. We gotta gain some momentum after decembers downtime, but we should be running faster than before soon as there's much more clarity now.

Thanks for your support!
