Changelist r5.24: * NEW Kess will finally give female players a reward for rumor hunting! * NEW Cabin Paw, the first actual crew member (wholl come with you on the ship and to other islands, but youll get to pick between male and female Juin in later builds, default to female for now). Will potentially be sexable in the long term, but not for now! * NEW Minor NPCs: ~20k words across 9 characters that expand the world and lore, but do not have a full act associated with them (well eventually vote and see who should be sexable :3). Minor NPCs are identifiable by darker name text. * NEW Reworked new game system - You can now start a new game with the same character, and load different save states and autosaves through the Continue game button, and the system streamlines creation and starting of a game with a brand new character. * NEW Save states system - You can talk to Cabin Paw to create new saves or load old ones. Do note that prey is not saved until weve added proper prey processing and inventory system. * NEW Kirhaal has been reworked and is a lot more city -like now. * NEW The Cotton Ball and Sterlings shop are replaced with prettier custom houses. * NEW Graphical overhaul to make things prettier in general. Namely new water shader with reflections and prettier waves, and updated and prettier day/night cycle. * NEW 14 new acts to spice up the selection on island. Largely pawing and pawjobs and a little bit of anal. * Added bunch of different kind of act locators around Kirhaal. * Added texture streaming to optimize GPU memory usage. * Added an unlockable quick travel path between Kirhaal and other side of the mountain. * Fixed acts in Showroom and on island having issues assigning characters to right slots. * Fixed shadow cascades being wrong between different quality settings. * Fixed advance time used in some conversations advancing minutes instead of hours. * Fixed missing Davh tongues (dunno how this made in originally). * Fixed alignment of random acts, theyre now a bit more interestingly aligned and better positioned. * Fixed conversation variables defaulting to NULL instead of 0 and false which was causing some odd behavior with some conversations. * Fixed Spirit being there after act. * Fixed time progression taking you out of Spirit conversation. * Changed and optimize Kess tit lamps because they were a bit too unoptimized and performance heavy. * Changed all conversation animations to have some crossfade when played to remove occasional snapping. * Changed city lamps to be a bit more optimized. * Changed day night cycle to be faster (day 120mins/night 90mins) * Changed unenterable houses to have some light glow in the closed windows so it looks a bit more lived in. * Changed Main menu to match the new Kirhaal. * Changed Sterling to be a bit easier to bang. Changelist r5.24.1: * Fixed dock and some other static meshes not being blend with the terrain. * Fixed misaligned act appearing in the fountain (moved outside of the fountain, and aligned properly). * Fixed hat not being abandonable in some cases. * Fixed some new acts having characters in off positions. * Fixed Sterling not agreeing to talk without promising to bang her, and turning her down first. * Fixed Showroom genitalia checker not checking genitalia properly. * Fixed characters getting assigned to wrong slots in some acts. * Fixed filtering in character picker. * Fixed Tasting not having animated doggy tongue. * Added missing sound surface information. * Added necessary colliders to support splashing and sfx for ocean, river, and pools near statues. * Changed animation handling of Showroom to match Islands animation handling (which also fixes tongues on Showroom). * Changed Showroom to return to default animation when characters are changed to prevent mismatching animations from occurring. * Changed act position indicators to have emissive material so that theyre easier to spot at night. * Changed eye <-> head weights of random NPCs so that they use more eyes and less head to look at player. Enjoy! <3 Ruffleneck
