2024-10-16
Hey Everyone!

The next Major Content Update is here! Bringing our new Dynamic Sex System 2, Gameplay & UI improvements, world expansion, controller support, new quests, new lore and more!

At the end of this Content Update post, there's also a dev blog showing off what we've been working on with DSS2.

Opting in

Don't miss out, last time I checked only 50% of you opted in! Until there is content parity with the Unreal Engine 4 release, the UE5 Preview will be available via a Beta Branch on Steam, to access this latest update, right click on the game in your library -> properties -> betas -> click "ue5_beta". You're in!

Dynamic Sex System 2

The goal of DSS2 was to bring you greater control of the scenes, with dynamic interactions, a more streamlined process for us to make new scenes and freecam. Along the way we added physics, new cum, jiggly bits and more!

Major Features
Dynamic Physics Interactions
New UI
Freecam
POV Cam* (available in some scenes)
Clothing in DSS
New Cum (This is also now available in select existing DSS)

Because of all the above changes, DSS2 is not supported by all scenes, we've made new scenes that support this system.

NEW DSS Scenes:
Damaris Kiss
Damaris Facesit
Kneeling Doggy (Futa/Male on Male)
Chair Blowjob(Futa/Male on Female)
Table Bent over (Futa/Male on Female)

Romance

Romance is in the air! Damaris now has the next phase of her romance enabled, adding around new 200 lines of dialogue between herself and the player. Players will now be able to not only give Damaris that first kiss she so desires, but potentially go significantly further with the shy barmaid (should they play their cards right). As a bonus, there's now also a mini-romance with Mera, in pleasure villa. new Romance NPCs Available:
Damaris
Mera

Art Improvements/Cock Tints

As a part of DSS2, we had to remake all of the body system and skins, you hopefully won't notice much difference right now, but this will allow us to use the new cum system, upcoming sweat and wet changes to characters and the new "equipment" tints.

Dong Tints & Dong Skins

Dong tints are back in the game and they should match up much much better with all of the skin choices, this comes along with a new Dong Skin System, giving you more choices!

Clothing Improvements

A new clothing improvement comes in the form of new bulges in the clothes based on the current dong you have selected, show off your bulge in the Anubite Skirt, Inquisitor's Garb or Slaver's Finery.

Fishing Improvements/Rework

Fishing wasn't as fun as it could be, you could only fish in certain spots and the loot was limited, so we've given it a bit of a rework. After completing a short fishing tutorial with Moswen, our resident Fisherman, you can now fish anywhere with deep water.

If you fish in a Fishing Pool, you're guaranteed that fish as loot, but if you fish in open water, who knows what trash you'll find?!

p.s. You can now sail a boat into the middle of the Euphoris, stand on top and fish away!

Trouble in Pleasure Villa Mini-Quest

Pleasure Villa in Ikenni Village was introduced in the last update but the squabbles between Safiya and Tabu along with the pleasures of it's inhabitants were locked until this update. Complete this mini-quest to unlock new sex scenes with a handmaiden and unlock Mera's mini-romance.

Gilded Fold

The gilded fold will receive some updates and get more populated in the coming update, for now we've trimmed the hedges and added a couple of new interactions, more to come!

Graphical Improvements & Performance Improvements

We've noticed a performance improvement with moving to Unreal Engine 5.4 along with our own optimizations and changes as we always do, we hope you enjoy the extra frames!

UI Updates

The Form Unlock and Cosmetic screens needed some major updates and they've received a face-lift and a functionality update along with some bug fixes.

Controller Support

With this update we've added Controller Support to the game! This is a long overdue accessibility and playability change that we really pushed for this update. It's a little rough around the edges right now in the Sorcery Screen and some menus, you but can play the entire game now with just a controller!

Please make sure that you turn on Controller Mode on Steam, or you will default to a Keyboard + Mouse as Valve Still doesn't think the game has controller support until we make UE5 the main branch.

Settings Fixes & Keybindings Updates/Accessibility

We've worked hard this update to bring you three major settings updates:

The settings system should work much much better
Keybindings should now be available for almost every major action in the game
Glyphs are now dynamic for keybinds on the UI

Dialog Bug Fixes/Changes

The most common issues that kept occurring with our NPCs being un-cooperative and getting stuck on certain dialog has received a major update which should prevent this from happening in the future.

Lovense

We added a long-requested feature with the update in the form of "Toy" support with Lovense, sync up your toy with the Android/Ios/Windows app, enable Lovense in the settings and you'll have synced up fun with all of our existing DSS and DSS2 scenes.

We'll be improving this in coming updates but this should support all toys. We've especially focused on the Solace Pro and the Solace in DSS2, trying our best to match the movements up with the DSS2 animations.

Dev Blog - DSS2

We've had to do a huge amount of work behind the scenes to improve our characters and systems to support better and more dynamic sex scenes, including a new body system, physics and more, so we thought we'd share with you what we've been up to!

Expressions & Deformations

As things stood, our characters were too wooden for our liking. To remedy this we've given characters an additional set of morphs, widening the range of what's possible in terms of facial expressions and interactions. This also goes for "pole meets hole" interactions, where openings will now visibly deform to accommodate various sizes of insertion.

Jiggly Wiggly

In order to make the adult content itself more dynamic we've implemented various physics based elements on top of our animations, allowing things to bump and bounce more realistically. This also means that we'll be able to accommodate various interactions which weren't previously possible.

Total Camera Control

We've now implemented a new "freecam" system to allow you to view the interactions from whatever angle you choose. You'll now be able to click on whatever part of the scene they want to focus on and rotate/zoom/pan around this point. In some scenes, there's also a POV camera mode, so you can really get into the action.

Happy Endings

Finally, all this time after we lost the "messy finish" cosmetic, we've got dynamic "mess" working within the system. Now any external climax has the potential to make you (or your partner) messy. It's not a "smoke and mirrors" system, so where you finish is where the mess goes. With the physics interaction this means that each time will be slightly different.

[Please note that the above GIF is captured using an old animation, not one of the new DSS 2.0 animations]

Mess builds up with successive contacts, so you (or your partner) will eventually end up very sticky unless you bathe.

Open Wide
Those of you who keep an eye on the Discord will have already seen that we have created new mouth interiors including tongues. Characters are now able to extend tongues for... various purposes.
