This version is mainly dedicated to paying tech debt and bugfixing, since holiday obligations restrict how many big features I can really sink my teeth into. Targets for next update are to rework the dialogue system and get some semblance of a story progression down, flesh out some more items, and get some more dynamic animations going. Maybe the foundations of a ‘desktop mode’ optimized for desktop use, since I’m discovering many users are interested in playing this outside of VR- and the interactive milking & injectable elements are really clunky if used as is with a mouse.
---- V 0.4.5 (this version) ----
- Foundation for “Affect” system: Sweet foods, trying on new clothes and milking will increase happiness. Injections or leaving breasts full will cause unhappiness. Neglecting unmilked breasts will make the hucow increasingly unhappy, and cause breasts to get red and irritated. Currently, affect effects nothing, but it's still being recorded in your save file, and will come in to play later...
- New Save Slot system: allows for saving, loading and resetting with 3 save ‘slots’.
- Option to enforce symmetry on breasts: hardlocks any future growth to be spread evenly, and uneven breasts to grow towards symmetry if enabled.
- Option to disable the fading in/out animation on menu transitions. This improves performance.
- Balance changes: Raised the amount of money gained from working, and lowered the threshold to sell contents of a milk container to 66% full. Later versions will have different sized containers to better accommodate different hucows production rates.
- Many bugfixes with the closet, milk container, and breast behavior.
