Escort Simulator Initial release candidate ver. 1.0
We're very excited to finally offer Escort Simulator to the Steam audience! We feel very good about the overall quality of the release and we hope that players will feel the same way. While this version of the game is in no way complete or final, it remains a excellent example of what our team is capable of and where we would like to take virtual sex in the near future.
There are several items that we had hoped to get into the initial release, some more important than others. We were able to complete an incredible amount of line items in the final week of pre-release and they improve the overall experience of the game tremendously.
Among these items are :
A single saved state for escort customization. While this appears basic enough, with the number of customization items, this was a bit of a task to complete successfully. We can leverage this in the future so that you can save and load several different escort customization settings.
Saved customization allows us to carry your escort settings to the climax scene. It's really incredible to be able to see your own custom virtual escort get loads of cream all over her body in real time using the fluid dynamic simulator.
We were able to complete a rudimentary loading screen progress bar, so that it's clear that your system isn't dying between scene loads. We know, not a big deal, but it does make for a better user experience.
We're eager to hear about various players performance on the CPU during the climax scene. As we've stated before, the fluid dynamic solver is very computationally expensive and can easily bog down systems which do not have dedicated video acceleration hardware (we recommend NVidia Series 10 or higher). With this in mind, we've set the initial build to a mid-level fluid detail and we'll see what feedback with get from you guys on those settings.
We also managed to get a quick dance scene in that exists as an option at the start of the game. We needed to get an additional outfit option into the game, and a strip tease seemed the perfect place to add it. While the dance is nothing fancy yet, we can elaborate on what options are offer in the dance in the future to make it a little more engaging.
The Next Week Road Map :
Our first order of business is to add a custom pubic hair modifier to the customization menu. We realized that we had a system to implement this in less time than we had originally scoped. With this new discovery, we should be able to front load this addition as currently all the escort skins crotches are completely bare and will gladly welcome a little grass on the playing field.
Additionally, we will need to go back for another pass on the first batch of animations. We did not have an excessive amount of time to bug test before launch, and now that we have done more rigorous testing we have already identified some clipping points and minor glitches in the animations. We would love if we also got some early feedback from players about other animations that they would like to see during this phase as we can more easily add more animations while we are performing clean up.
