FULL NOTES:
•3 New Animations: Melany x Kryth/Artilor
•Melany climax + VFX: Melany now uses the same climax framework that male characters have. During animation scenes, players can trigger her climax through an interaction prompt.
•Melany Solo Shower (Level 2 Secret Animation): A hidden shower scene can now be discovered in Campaign Level 2.
•Collectables & Secrets System: A new collectables framework has been added. Secrets are the first collectable type and they are hidden across each level and reward players with higher level score. The scoring system will be expanded in upcoming updates.
•New Campaign Level 2: The second campaign level continues Act I’s desert theme, but expands it with tall rock formations, dried riverbeds, denser vegetation, and new environmental hazards
•New Recovery Level (Level 0): A new introductory level that explains how the player arrives at Level 1. This level includes key storytelling, early gameplay guidance and a few hints about the larger narrative. It introduces themes that will be expanded later in the campaign.
•Level 1 Intro Rework + Cinematic: Level 1 now begins with a cinematic and dialogues. The opening terrain has been updated with new cliff models.
•Eyebrow Color + Lipstick Customization: Players can now visit the Store > Customization section to modify Melany’s eyebrow color and lipstick.
•Naval and Nose piercing: New items in the store.
•New Emote: Sit on a chair with crossed legs.
•Organ Failure Notification: Organs now decay over time. Once an organ becomes damaged, it will begin to negatively affect the player. A new monitoring system alerts players when an organ reaches a decayed state.
•Hotbar Scale Customization: A new accessibility option under Settings > Accessibility allows players to scale the hotbar size.
•New Achievement: “Human Enough”: A new achievement tied to the new Recovery (Level 0) area. Completing key dialogue interactions in this level will unlock it.
•Leech mini-boss.
•Auto-Pickup Loot: Players can now enable automatic loot collection under Settings. This includes categories such as currencies, organs and more. When activated your character automatically picks up the selected item types upon proximity.
•Menu UI Redesign: Multiple sections of the main menu have been visually updated for consistency and readability.
•Recovery System for Lost Items Between Versions: A backend system that restores potentially missing items when loading old saves into newer game versions.
•Inventory Organ Slot Fix: Fixed an issue where organ items could not be properly equipped because the slot shapes were not loading in the correct order.
•Actor Name Display in Dialogues: Dialogue boxes now display character names using their assigned actor IDs. This includes new references in the Recovery level, such as Melany’s father.
•Level 2 Puzzle: A new environmental puzzle has been added to Level 2.
Blinking Control: Characters can blink at varying degrees, as seen in the new animation where Melany’s eyes are partially closed.
•New Desert Vegetation Models: Rocks, cactuses, trees and additional desert vegetation.
•Virtual GPU Compatibility: Improved support for users running Windows through virtual GPUs, such as Windows on Mac. This resolves several graphical issues reported by players using VM environments.
•GPU Error Display in Splash Screen: If the game detects an unsupported GPU, an error message now appears during the splash screen. The message includes troubleshooting tips to help users get the game running.
•Emote Localization Support: All emotes now support localization.
•Main Menu Weapon + Head IK Fix: Resolved a bug where Melany’s gun sometimes appeared in the main menu and her head IK failed to activate correctly.
