How to update Mirage?
To update the game close Steam app completely by right-clicking on small Steam icon at the bottom right corner of the screen (you may need to click on "Arrow" symbol first to reveal a full list of running apps) and select "Exit". Then launch Steam again and Mirage should start updating.

Why it took you so long to release Mirage 0.3.5?
During all this time (from initial Mirage release) I worked every day on Mirage. On three tasks:
1) My custom C++ physics engine. It's extremely complex to develop but it's awesome and this is the main part of Mirage I am most excited about. I will share more details about it when I'm ready.
2) Importers of custom characters and 3D objects
3) Mirage 0.3.5
As a result of such time sharing I have written more than 12,000 lines of C++ source code for the physics engine. It's a lot and every line of code is created specifically for Mirage taking human body physics into account.

What's next?
Next is Mirage 0.4 - Importer of Daz content (characters, clothes, hair styles).
Working on it.
Then I plan to release:
- Unity scenes importer
- Animation recording systems (mocap and keyframe based)
- Realistic physics for cloth, hair, human body, liquids, rigid bodies
- Online multiplayer
Thank you all, guys!
