Hi friends, thanks for your patience. We know it took a bit longer this time, but if you look at the long list of new features, improvements and bug fixes you will understand… This is probably the biggest update we have ever released. And it includes a couple of things many of you have been asking and voting for in our polls. 1. [b]Conversational AI[/b] (experimental) You could already give voice commands and listen to the Hottie talking, but now you can have a real conversation. In the Hottie’s settings you can enter a name, age, hometown and a couple of interests. And you can choose personality traits. You have to activate the AI in the settings (Main Menu > Settings > AI). [i]Disclaimer[/i]: This AI will be a free extra feature running on our own server for now. This can mean poor performance if multiple users use the AI at the same time. What about privacy? Theoretically we could read the conversations in the live logs, but we can’t assign them to individual users and they aren’t even stored. As long as you don’t have GPUs with at least 24GBs of RAM it’s unfortunately impossible to run this locally. If a lot of people like this feature, we will move this to a professional service provider and charge a monthly fee, similar to other AI speech services. 2. [b]New female „Voice C“[/b] We included a brand new female voice. We hope you like her! So far this is the exclusive voice for the AI, but it also works without AI and we are working on more voice options (male and female) for the next couple of updates! 3. [b]New Default Hotties[/b] HottieCards didn’t exist yet when we started back in 2021. Now we have nearly 10,000 users on [url=https://discord.gg/jKEUSYPkKW]our Discord server[/url] sharing their HottieCards and finding new ones. All new default Hotties are user-created! Thanks again for your amazing HottieCards on our Discord server and in the competition! 4. [b]Guidance System[/b] Sexual interaction can be awkward and difficult - and even more so in VR. Many of you guys asked for help to get into positions. The first step is a Guidance System for Missionary and Doggy. The Hottie’s pelvis will tilt automatically in order to make insertion easier. These are the biggest news, but please check out the [b]full list at the end[/b] of this posting. And there are three more things we would like to talk about. [b]a)[/b] In the Main Menu > Hottie > Shape > Torso you will find a slider called „[b]Hip Spandex[/b]“. It’s not new, but it does different things now. It’s hard to explain, but let’s try. Maybe you noticed some unnatural behavior around the hips, genitals and butt crack when the Hottie bends her legs. You can adjust and improve this now with the slider. Just give it a try and you will see what we mean ;) [b]b)[/b] You don’t need the Windows [b]speech recognition[/b] (Azure) anymore. We implemented our own one. This means more reliability and no censorship anymore. [b]c)[/b] The last thing we’d like to mention is the improvement of the [b]Player Body control[/b]. The connection of your virtual body to the controllers is now more rigid. You will notice less drag and the transitions between positions are more fluid. Phew, that’s a lot. And there’s more. Take your time and let us know what you think - in the Steam forums or [url=https://discord.gg/jKEUSYPkKW]on Discord[/url]. Have fun! Take care VR HOT [url=https://www.vr-hot.com]Our Website (incl.
