Lucid Lust v0.4.42M (Windows 64-bit)

Lucid Lust v0.4.42M Update is here!

SUPPORTER DOWNLOAD POST

Lucid Lust now requires a 64-bit operating system. This shift is essential for keeping the game on the cutting edge and unlocking future possibilities.

Additionally, I won’t be updating the Linux and Mac versions until v0.6 or v0.7. This will allow me to focus on faster development and refine features without having to simultaneously support multiple platforms. I deeply appreciate your patience and understanding, Mac and Linux users—thank you!

This decision marks a significant step toward achieving my vision for Lucid Lust, particularly in the area of simulations (including liquid and clothing), where 64 bits will be crucial.

Following your votes: Male Character Creator Focus!

This version focuses solely on the Male Character Creator, and so will the next release. Once it's done and perfected, I’ll overhaul the Lucid Girl Creator to match the new male system, incorporating all the latest features and improvements.

Now for the Good News!

Haircut 2.0 – Fully Physical Hair!

⦁ Haircuts are now more realistic than ever and are fully strand-based, with 500k+ individual strands rendered in real-time.

⦁ Haircuts can automatically adjust to the head shape (with the option to toggle this on or off per character).

⦁ Customize the style of haircuts with 4 sliders—two for front/back size and two for left/right size.

⦁ Some haircuts will now be shared across character types, meaning you’ll find the same styles available for males, females, and future futas. This feature is perfect for those interested in creating transformation scenarios!

Since hair physics is haircut-dependent, I can tweak individual haircuts based on feedback. If a haircut doesn’t feel right, let me know, and I’ll look into improving it.

Visual Menus Are Coming!

Now introducing visual menus, starting with the Hair and Makeup windows!

These menus are not only more visually appealing but also much easier to navigate than previous sliders. Plus, you can now organize your haircuts by length and find them easily with a new tag system!

If you notice a missing tag—say, you’re searching for Vincent Vega’s iconic look and "Travolta" doesn’t work—let me know, and I’ll add the tag! I’m confident this new search system will shine as we add more options, especially when we hit 100+ haircuts.

Mod Support Begins!

Mod support is now available—starting with male makeup! This is the first step in integrating mods into Lucid Lust, with plans to expand it further in future versions.

Here’s how it works: Simply place your .png texture in the designated directory inside Lucid Lust_Data/mods, and it will show up in the character creator, couldn't make it easier!

Want a custom button for your mod in the new visual menu? Add a .jpg with the same name as your texture in the same directory, and it’ll appear in the interface. If no .jpg is provided, a default icon will appear, but your texture will still be usable.

For this version, I’ve manually added a few basic mods into the new mods folder. These mods were created quickly and aren't very polished, they’re just meant to give you a simple demonstration of how the modding system works (they are in no way a good practice guide since I had the nerves to make an eyeshadow named "8K heavy clouds" that is an 8000x8000 2.3Mo texture hahaha).

There’s no strict limit to the texture size you can use. While it’s best to stick with power-of-2 textures (e.g., 64x64, 128x128, 256x256, etc.) for optimal performance, the system automatically stretches any texture into a square. So even if you upload something like a 10x80px, it’ll still work just fine!

Saving and Loading Modded Characters

Modded characters can be saved and loaded like other characters. These characters will be marked with a "[mods in use]" tag, and the "Copy Code" button will be replaced with an "[M]" logo to indicate that you can’t generate a code for them (yet). However, modded characters will be fully usable in Lucid Lust, including in sharable Scenarios.

Handling Missing Mods

If you attempt to load a modded character without the required mod, the game will substitute the missing texture with the last successfully loaded one.

If the mod is heavy or your computer is slow, the mod loading can take up to several seconds (but it's done in the background, meaning you will not get any freeze from it). In the future, there will be an error message telling you what mod is missing, while still being able to go through with the current workaround if you ever desire. However, missing mods will prevent players from playing a Scenario, and the game will give them a list of the files they need to acquire to be able to play the Scenario; this is to make sure Scenarios are played with the proper files installed.

Creating Mods

I plan to create a Mod Creator Kit once most of the mod categories are in place. This kit will include UV-mapped character pieces, a Unity asset (aka development kit), templates, and more. For now, Daz Male Genesis 8 face textures should work with male characters, but know that the UV has been modified so that the full face without the ears is the makeup texture layer.

Other Updates and Quality of Life Improvements

⦁ Added a Full Face makeup layer, bringing the total to 5 makeup layers.

⦁ Introduced a unified color picker across all new visual menus.

⦁ Added easy custom color preset creation with tabs showing the currently selected color.

⦁ A ton of things, including new body shapes and the currently worked-on procedural penis

Known issues

Haircut Compatibility: Some haircuts may not behave correctly with certain head shapes. This is expected and can be fixed using the "Follow Head Shape" toggle at the bottom of the haircut window. With this toggle and the 3D sliders, you should be able to adjust any haircut to fit any head!

Dick Functionality: The dick system still isn’t fully working—saving and loading issues persist. Improvements are in progress, but it’s not quite ready yet.

UI Bugs: You may encounter some UI glitches (hair color and tan amount don't sync on load among other things for now). This is normal as I'm currently revamping the system to support the new visual menus. I’ll also be overhauling the camera system soon to better integrate with these menus.

Other Bugs: A lot has been reworked from the ground up since the last update, so there might be a few new bugs I'm not aware of. If you run into any issues, please don’t hesitate to report them!

THANK YOU!

This update represents a major leap forward, and I’m excited to share it with you all!

As always, thanks a lot for your support. The project wouldn't be where it is today if it were not for your amazing support and feedback! I hope that you like where the project is heading, and I can't wait for Lucid Lust to be where I want it to be!

Thank you again for everything ♥
