Version 0.9 (AKA Alpha V9) has released! The ULTIMATE gameplay progress milestone is here! It is another game changer!

Props

Want to decorate your scene with some objects? You can do that now with props, available in the Animator toolkit!

Lights

Want to host a party at your home? Trying to build a home from scratch using props? You can now add lights to your scene! They are available in the Animator toolkit.

Vehicle Support for Navigation Router

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6gDvAAzck0s Earlie, the Navigation Router from the Interactive toolkit only supported navigation for PMs. This is no longer the case. Now it also supports vehicles. If you wanted to make a traffic system with vehicles or just a loop around the Home map, this is now possible.

Director Camera Roll

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCOk7MyVF_Y We have unfortunately removed the Track feature from earlier builds. We tried numerous times to make it work for this game, all to no avail. A lot of our features have changed so much that they rendered the entire feature useless. To make up for this, you can now adjust the roll rotation of your view pawn. Want to make some rolling camera fly-bys? Turn on screenshot mode and start rollin'!

Loving Your Spouse

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iuMvQaoHsE The Neutral setting feature now has a true purpose - you can make out with your lovely spouse. Just turn on the settings via the game console in your home.

New Underwear Options

Headwear, Eyewear, Boxers, and Bloomers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WR_8sKydJQw&t=54s You can now apply headwear and eyewear to your mannequins! There are also new underwear options: Boxer Briefs and Boxers (AKA Bloomers). You can even rotate your mannequin to properly see all of your changes by using the rotation controls. Left button rotates clockwise; right button rotates anti-clockwise; top button resets the rotation.

Underwear Prints

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKLnZRIvZbg You can also now apply printing textures to your underwear in the Customizer menu! We already have a slew of options available!

Almost Done

From this point onward, the next update will be the first Beta Version update (Version 1.0/Beta Version 1, or BV1). For this update, we will focus exclusively on trying to introduce mod support for the game. We will be honest with you. This is the first time we have ever tried such a feat in UE4. Few game devs have already achieve this but in practically every moddable UE4 game, they all required a modified Unreal Editor. Unreal Editor builds are generally heavy and weigh at least 20+ GB. We don't even think it will fit on this page even when using Butler to upload it, there seems to not be a way to upload a new file separate from the project's name. This is assuming we can even successfully create a customer editor-bundled mod kit. All things considered, we cannot guarantee mod tools may ever arrive for this game. Worse case scenario, we will just try to polish the game the best we can, then call it a wrap after launch...

Known Bugs:

• Older saved sets have been partially botched as a result of this update. You can correct some of them by loading and re-saving the sets.
• Due to the new file organization system for movie sets, you will have to manually rearrange your set files to accommodate, otherwise they will be considered universal and you will have to toggle the filter to universal to access them. You can resave them while using the level-specific filter to save them to that level's respective folder. You can also manually rearrange the files via the AppData directory on your Windows OS (or wherever your save data is saved if using a Linux OS).
• Customizer preset data files have been partially botched due to this update. The fix is relatively easy: just load your character set and update the underwear option to what your mannequin is wearing mesh-wise (or just change the underwear if you wish to do so anyway, such as to try out the new boxer briefs or bloomers). If any of your mannequins is using the Man 4 (Chris) template, you will have to take a screenshot of your character first for reference, than create a new one, rename it the same as your previous iteration, then apply the customization changes to that new template.
