Hey everyone!
I’d like to share some of the things I’ve been working on this month. This update focuses on new animations, enemies and quality of life features, I hope you enjoy!
Highlights
Pleu-G – New Character with Grab & AI
Melany x Pleu-G (Toxic Plant) Romance
Tattoo & Body Writing System
Summer Event (Wakeboarder Skin Available)
Manual Saving
Environmental Update on Level 3
Romance
Added a new romance scene featuring Melany and Pleu-G, the Toxic Plant.
Character Creator
Added a new Tattoo & Body Writing System.
Added a new worm nipple piercing.
Gameplay
Added Pleu-G (Toxic Plant). This new enemy has idle, grab, attack and romance states.
Added The Witness Eye. This new side character replaces an upcoming character “The Witness” in most instances and it is primarily used for save interactions to prevent The Witness from appearing multiple times throughout each level.
Updated Level 2's opening area with new terrain, environmental changes and The Witness encounter.
Expanded the first combat area of Level 3 with additional props and environmental details.
Updated quest helper markers to guide players toward a wider search area, instead of being directed straight to interaction objects.
Added new ceiling collider blockers to prevent unintended movement and traversal in Level 3.
Added manual saving and removed auto saving feature. This removes the stuttering during saving.
Updated checkpoint behavior near the beginning of levels. Restarting now returns the player to the beginning of the level instead of having a ‘fake’ checkpoint.
Equipped weapons are no longer saved as part of the player's saved state.
Updated save handling for scene objects to preserve their active states instead of relying on quest task activation checks when objects are enabled.
Added additional protection against unintended interactions during cinematic sequences that can break the scene.
Updated FBL-Ø encounters to prevent the player from being pulled into a struggle during the Level 1 cave interaction sequence.
Wasps are now returned to their intended position if they fall from their designated area.
Limited the number of baby enemies to 6 and deactivated babies now recover their health.
Miscellaneous
Added the Summer Event featuring the Wakeboarder Skin.
Added new emotes, including the Fashion set.
Added platform manager to turn on / off things like in-game links depending on if the game build is for the specific platform.
Separated NSFW and SFW content systems in preparation for future Steam DLC distribution.
Audio
Added additional missing sounds across levels, interactions and gameplay events:
Music – main menu, pause menu, loading scene.
SFX – acid, valve metal creak, fall on sand, quest success, button click, button hover, slime explode, pump movement, player death, rain, pump steam, alert.
UI
Updated the Emote’s Locker UI in the main menu to support unlocking emotes through currency or in-game rewards. This makes it possible to preview locked emotes before purchasing.
Added a system to be able to take screenshots of animations and use them for emotes or romance scenes.
Added quest complete UI.
Updated Level 2 quest headers to group related objectives together instead of displaying a separate header for every task.
Updated the shop menu UI to support the new Tattoo & Body Writing system.
Updated enemy health bars. They now appear when enemies take damage and automatically disappear after 3 seconds without further damage.
Removed the crosshair while using emotes.
Fixes
Fixed an issue where the Leech Boss spawn trigger sound could play again when loading Slot 6 after the Leech Boss encounter had already been completed.
Fixed an issue where FBL-Ø could initiate a struggle during the Level 1 cave interaction sequence.
Fixed an issue where Wasps could fall from their intended area and remain inaccessible.
Fixed unintended player interactions during cinematic sequences by making the player untargetable where required.
