Hi friends, happy new year! We're excited to announce that our Beta release is now available for you to explore... For those who aren't familiar with our Beta procedure, please read the following explanations. For everyone else, feel free to jump to the next column. [i]We started rolling out BETA versions of our game first, followed by the regular update 1-2 weeks later. If you're interested in participating as a beta user, simply head over to your Steam library, click the cog wheel, select "Properties" > "Betas" and choose "public-beta" from the drop-down menu. If you prefer to wait for the regular update, there's no need to do anything but sit tight, as it will be coming soon.[/i] What’s new? We were already proud of our self-programmed [b]cloth system[/b], but it had its flaws. The clipping issues, in particular, were something we couldn’t completely eliminate with the existing system. However, we've rebuilt the cloth system from scratch, and we believe it’s a significant leap forward. With „Auto-fit“ you'll experience almost no clipping, and the clothes will load faster. We've also applied different thickness to the pieces - e.g. knitted garments will be thicker than a pantyhose. Additionally, undress commands for individual clothing pieces have been implemented, addressing a feature many of you have requested. Disclaimer: Erected Nipples will stay a problem! Moving on to another intricate body feature – hair. For our female characters, we've implemented a [b]Body Hair simulation[/b], covering pubic hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, and vellus hair – the barely visible, tiny, fluffy stuff. The Hottie now better understands the distinction between [b]commands and conversation[/b], thanks to a fuzzy matching system we've integrated to minimize misunderstandings. For the [b]toy users[/b]: VR HOT now works seamlessly with Intiface from buttplug.io But that's not all! We've added a pantyhose for the fans, introduced seven additional hairstyles, included four more skins, and implemented new sliders for skin specular effects, genitals, glutes, legs, along with improvements to the softbody sim, hair shader, wrinkle system, skin rendering, and facial expressions. Phew. Oh, and nearly forgot – bug fixes! Check them out in the full list below.
