Regolo Engine S 1.75

A new release is here!
This is a minor build that does a great job in many respects.
Let's check why it's still special and deserves its number (1.75 wtf??).

Some important notices before going on

1. This is a beta version that uses external software and (optionally) connects to Microsoft cloud platform where you could be billed for services used. Please consider to check Azure cognitive services free/billing services terms and conditions before using Regolo Engine S with it.

Regolo Engine software and developer are not accountable for any billing issue or unexpected payment arose as consequence of its usage.

This is an unfinished product and a beta version and doesn't contain any mechanism that can prevent Microsoft from charging you with any amount of money.

All the details I know and can deliver to support are in the 1.40 and 1.50 release posts..

2. Also, Regolo Engine S doesn't contain all the legacy stuff published before Simulation mode. If you want to try them you can download Regolo Engine 1.30. It's the last release that supports them.

3. There is an official doc that was updated till Regolo Engine S release. So it doesn't contain newest information as the Regolo Talking Machine or connection to the Azure platform. A lot of information are valid though, as the plugin installation ones.

fixes

• hands were not going towards the boy during exploration with 0 disposition
• hands were interrupting movements too often while doing handjobs because of too strict spatial constraints
• too strict constraints on handjob movements as well, now reworked to avoid losing the grab
• also hands were also lagging when coming back into walking, this has been improved
• ejaculation management had became a mess after many releases and stances, now it's a lot better for head and body position in general
• footjob was broken, now works fine
• girl avoid boy again while walking

current known bugs

• still mix of old and new sentences, now even during sex stuff
• this mix above leads to conflicts that sometimes block the talking machine or silence the speech
• handjob and blowjob don't work flawlessly if boy lies down during exploration
• hands still travel far away sometimes for unknown reasons -> investigating

As always, if you notice something that is not working fine please let me know and I will try to fix it asap.

Just one paragraph

So I used these past 20 days to fix a lot of nasty stuff, improve nicely some old feature and introduce a couple of new functions.

Among the novelties smart camera stands out for sure. It's a feature that takes control of VaM camera and tries to focus on the action dynamically. It gives a cool cinematic effect and frees your hands a bit more.

It can be enabled in the girlUI options panel or directly pressing the smart camera key ("j" the default). Such key can be changed in the plugin config file.

Then we have a new set of dynamic sentences mainly for the romantic anima. I mean, you can have those sentences if you pump romance stat, but other traits help as well so I suggest to set "Romantic" animaSim in case.

The girl will then comments the phases of her "session" with you, expressing her will to be together with you and all the other observations she makes in the video. The interesting thing here is that with the standard voice ("SaraNeural") The Regolo Talking Machine can change the tone of the speech.
This means that it's possible to express more clearly emotions like anger or happiness though the speech. For now I just experimented with an intimate tone. So you will hear a lot of whispered sentences, since they are triggered by the romantic status the girl is in.
Other US voices can reproduce this tone switch, like ARia and Jenny (and no others from my list for now).

Anyway, there is still this ugly and messy mix of old and new sentences that bugs me. This creates even functional issues since the new sentence builder sometimes is blocked by the old one and sounds are silenced (this affects the talking machine as well). Anyway it's frequent but still tolerable at the moment.

At least I decided to change color of the status change message ("exploring", "Hanging around"...) so that at least them are easily distinguishable (they are yellow now).

Another little but extremely cool feature is the girl ability to use the boy's name in the speeches. She pronounces it as well while using the talking machine, giving a very intimate tone to the experience. It's in the video as well (I used "Regolo" for me, you can use yours).
If you want to change name you need to set it in the config file AND change the boy's person atom name in VaM as well.

There are useful fixes in this release as well. Hands for example don't stay still now when the girl is near the boy, but as expected move forward him to explore him, even more if her disposition is high enough. Hands were giving trouble in a lot of situations, like when coming back into walking from other stances.

More importantly, hands now manages better handjob and has less strict spatial constraints that were blocking theirs movement too much in the last latest releases.

Feet were also annoying me on some aspects, like the exagerated movements after an obstacle collision and the steps management, so I worked on both of them to make them more reliable. I fixed footjob as well since it was totally broken since 1.40.

Some old feature needed a full check up, like the ejaculation animations. They were completely off since they were developed some releases ago, and a lot has been added since then. So this led to head trembling or wrongly positioned, or even to the body totally screwed.
These things don't happen anymore and girl is now a bit smarter in finding the position for the ejaculation.

I tried to show a lot of the above stuff in the usual video, but I didn't have enough time to edit it as I normally do so was forced to leave a long and a bit slow "uncut" version. It's fun if you approach it with zen spirit 😂  .

Please note that in the video there will be old voices on some occasions. If you already used Regolo Engine you will recognize them immediately, otherwise consider that if text doesn't appear in the dialog box as well they are old ones not generated through Azure cognitive service.

In the end

I'm happy I managed to publish a good minor build waiting for the next major one.

Also, as I said in the beginning, it deserves its number. As for why it's 1.75 you will find it at the end of July, if in the meanwhile I don't discover I'm trying the impossible 😅 .

Unfortunately, even if there will undoubtedly be a July release, I'm thinking about interrupting the project. I know, it's a bolt from the blue and I'm still pondering, but life goes on and time is not infinite.

I love working at the Engine and I would have loved to do that for the months and years to come, but it has become a time sink and I can't dedicate my life to it, since it clearly can't be a decent source of income for me and my family.

So that's it, I wanted to inform you about these thoughts as soon as possible. I will not write more now since it's late night and probably I would write nonsense but I'm sure we will discuss again about it.

Let me just thank you for your great support so far once more. Thanks!

In the meanwhile, have fun and see you in a few weeks 😎 !
