Multiple reports regarding crash upon launch on AMD card machine have been received.
We did another round of compatibility test and replicated the problem on any project packed by UE 4.16 and no error log was generated. We have filed a bug report to Epic, hopefully they will get it fixed as soon as possible.

We noticed her dead fish expression in handcuff sets and have taken measures to improve it in the future.

Dresses. A lot of them.
With the hideous UE4 bug that delayed 1.12 for almost a month resolved, we can finally start implementing new apparels to provide a wider range of character customization. Pre-alpha tests are underway and the results are mostly positive. Although Nvidia Hairworks still posed problematic to AMD card users, we can at least get the cloth simulation up and running.
New interactions incoming based on previous polls:
Vaginal Cowgirl Sex
The tests took much longer than expected. We were kind of stuck on how to properly incorporate VR mode and after a few rounds of prototype testing the solutions were still far from satisfying. It's pointless to further postpone the release as the non-VR version is already polished so here it is.
I will be around replying messages and comments tomorrow. Polls will be held later today.
As compensation for the delay, cheat codes have been added back and listed below. 2017-07-10 20:19:27 +0000 UTC View Post
We are importing sex animations from previous builds into 1.14 and it may take a couple of days to conduct stability and compatibility test before release. Patrons of May and June will be updated with the download link of 1.14 via Email and Patreon messages after it is done!

Work on the handcuff animation set has started after vibrator animation for the chair set was implemented. Stay tuned!
2017-06-08 22:29:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe process is being conducted by a well-known mocap studio who has participated in quite a few triple A titles.
It surprised me that they do not capture fingers even for action games. The markers hamper hand gestures in optical mocap system, it seems. We will need to add hand animation manually afterwards, this could take about a week.

We are going to attend Anime Expo 2017 in LA! The overhaul of background scene is currently underway. We are going to use motion capture to make a long animation (approximately 60-90 seconds) for version 1.14 to be shown during the panel. It does not need to be safe for work, so we figured it would be a good idea to let you decide what the animation shall be.

Greetings friends! Most of your messages should have been answered by now. If not, shot me another one.
For months half of my time spent on replying was telling our supporters they are not charged at all till the beginning of the upcoming month and are free to edit or delete their subscription with no impact, and new build will be available next month if they don't opt out. This billing mechanism is apparently not very intuitive to new comers and troublesome to explain. Although our intention ...

A large portion of poll feedback demand boob fetish contents. We are currently on it and plan to implement a breast touching animation in 1.13.
The primary problem we are facing is to make the hand gesture fits in with various breast sizes as the boobs will have different steradians. A combination solution of IK system and animation layers is being under development.

Spent another day fighting with the typical blurry and wax like graphics UE4 generated.
Seems that the technique aspect didn't pique much interest so I'll spare you the details this time. We will move on to face the most tedious challenge of hair making after the adjustments are completed.

The blowjob and handjob animations are 80% done, combined with several sensitivity related interactions we will be able to finalize the chair category. A version with a full set of chair interactions is estimated to be finished in a couple of weeks and we can move on to handcuff category.
If Unreal Engine 4.16 is released and the new cloth solver is implemented as promised, we will add another update adding two or three new outfits.

The issue that has wasted us countless hours was finally pinpointed and verified by Epic as a bug of Unreal Engine 4.
It was rather frustrating to fight with the same glitch from 1.09, and it got worse after Unreal updated to 4.15. We filed bug reports twice, and the answer we have got was "you are not following the pipeline correctly" and "your plugin is out of date". After a quick chat with Steven and Vismund we decided to contact Epic staff in person and go silent for a wh...

Three things worth mentioning happened in the last two weeks:
1. The IDC service we used to establish version control system was banned by Chinese government. Most of the data was recovered by now; no permanent damage has been done. However Vismund is having a hard time working on the lost animations and hopefully he can finish them in the next a few days.
2. ZNZ contracted eczema. You don't want to know how his hands look like now.
The previous cumshot effect was not up to our standard thus was removed from framework. With some efforts we now finally achieved a believable cum effect; your favourite creampie is back.
2017-03-03 14:56:40 +0000 UTC View PostGuess that means more animation coming in. I'm bad at animating, as you can see. And I feel guilty about that.

Received some complaints regarding cutting contents of this release and we totally understand your disappointment. Most of the upcoming animations have already been made, the reason why we did not include them is simple: The transition.
Those suspended animations are deviated from the standard pose (for example, the anal pernetration animation in the image) and we found it not so subtle to let the actors shift into a different pose in a blink of an eye. We plan to make a series of t...

Patreon simply doesn't allow me to do so via the message system. I'm posting the link here and see if we should switch to pay upfront after the voting ends.
As of now it is still a framework lacking animation and apparel varieties, but we shall swiftly remake and add animations in 1.08 and keep you updated via free patches throughout March, so this is not the complete version of 1.11 yet due to time limit.
We will get voice acting work started...
