June Update: Alpha Build 1.04

Announcing Alpha Build 1.04!

Thank you all SO much for supporting us. We totally appreciate your patience with us while we finished up this build. My fingers are pretty much destroyed now from so much coding, haha. They'll get better, I'm sure!

This version has some changes and bug fixes, and most importantly, it has the first alpha version of the Character Editor. Please note that the Editor is not complete. There are still things to put in, and I'm working hard to do that. It works, though, and it's pretty fun, so have at it. :)

DOWNLOAD LINK: I'm sending it out to all paid up supporters. Patrons who were charged at the beginning of June should have the email right now, and patrons who will be charged within the next few days will get it as soon as all charges have been processed by Patreon (they only charge once per month, on the 1st). - Watch your email!

MAKE SURE to also download the Add-on packages and install them (even if you have already) so you have all the extra stuff! Here are the links to them:

At some point in the future I'll consolidate them into one installer. Sorry about the multiple downloads at the moment.

---------

To use the Editor, when you start the game, on the bottom of the character select screen you'll see a button called "Create Character". Click that button and it will take you into the Editor.

At the top left of the editor screen are three buttons, "Body", "Head", and "Skin". Click any of those to open a drop down menu for section choices. The sliders below the buttons will update to your choice of section.

Play around with the sliders and see what you come up with!

Of particular importance in the Editor is the "Eye Fix" section under the "Head" menu. This section is for fixing the eyeballs after you shape the head.

Editor Camera Controls

----------------------

Right Mouse Button: Orbit

Left Mouse Button: Selecting, etc.

Middle Mouse Button: Pan (up and down)

Middle Mouse Wheel: Zoom

----------------------

SAVING a Character: To save your character just hit the SAVE button and then enter a name.

LOADING a Character: To load a custom character into the game, make sure you're on the character select screen, and hit the "Load Custom" button at the top of the character selection area.

Loading a character on the left side will determine which position the loaded character will be in when poses are chosen.

EDITING A CUSTOM CHARACTER: To edit a character you've already created, make sure you've loaded the character as outlined above, THEN make sure they're clicked, and then go into the Character Editor.

STARTING THE EDITOR WITH A FRESH CHARACTER: To start with a blank character, make sure Elise or one of the non-custom characters is picked on the left side BEFORE entering the Character Editor.

----------------------

Misc. in-game tips:

* Some people have had trouble with the orbit camera getting stuck. If this happens, just go into Options (the little gear icon near the poses bar) and click the "Fix Camera Errors" button. That should help.

* While you're in the game, click and hold on the middle mouse button to pan the camera. You can put it wherever you like. Once you hit right mouse button to orbit again, it will start to return back to the center point, but just click and hold middle mouse to move it again. - This is a cheapo way to do a "free" camera for now, but in upcoming builds I will definitely be working on cameras more.

* You can see the new Credits screen by hitting the "Show Credits" button on the lower right hand corner of the Character Selection screen.

* Jiggling boobs on custom characters sometimes aren't saved properly to the files. To get jiggling boobs on a custom character, open up their XML file in a text editor (the character files are in your "Documents\FLSM\Favorites\" directory) and look for the "jiggleBoobs" tag section. If there's a 0 between the tags, change it to a 1 and then save the file. Then reload the character into the game if you want to use it, and the boobs will now jiggle. I'll fix this in the next update.

----------------------

Etc:

Obviously, this is an alpha build, so some things will be kind of wonky. They're being worked on.

Yes, in this build you can put a penis on Character 1 (via the Character Editor). Animations have not yet been fully tweaked to take advantage of this, but it looks good enough so far to use your imagination, so there's that. :) I'll be adding the option to put strap-on dildos onto non-penis endowed characters later on.

Also, the Editor is far from finished. In the next build I'll start adding additional things. Eventually there will be hair, more genital morphs, clothing, fur, eye color, makeup, tattoos, props (like horns, tails, etc.), jewelery, skin types, skin maps, and more, plus possibly a skin editor so you can make your own designs.

I've been so busy finishing this build and haven't had a chance yet to fully set up the testing section on the forum, so I will do that within the next couple of days. In the mean time, play around with the build, see what you think, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it!
