An extremely large and rather radical update to Unleashed, changing many of its core functions to focus more on player agenda. As mentioned before, Its kind of back to the roots with this one. New areas, better core functions like significantly improved sex motions, new Interactions, smooth Transitions, less applied morphs and sounds aswell as tons of smaller fixes and improvements. This version is also alot more suited for tinkerers - as it auto-controls way less than before.
All screenshots and videos have been taken without any image enhancing effects like e.g. Reshade.
Ritual expansion: New Area & Area variations: Righteous/Occult, 20 new Poses at release (+20 during 2.1.X updates)
A new, very large area with a Cathedral, a creepy hut and a BDSM area with a cage and a cross. Mostly built with the occult theme in mind, but if you dislike the dark/red theme you can switch to the righteous cathedral - which flips the crosses and brightens up the area!
New: Thrusters (Hip) 3.0 and physics control
The new thrusters barely look like thrusters anymore. Paired with a very specific physics+compliance+personphysics setup, Unleashed's thrusters almost look like medium quality mocaps. Thrust motions now affect the whole body and motions reach down to the wrists and ankles - which is an intentional limit so the player can freely interact and place the hands and feet to add your own touch to every pose.
To visualize its progression Id like to show you a comparison from Unleashed v2.1 (new), Unleashed v2 (former) and Unleashed v1 (old), respectively. This is a "historically" very problematic pose since it likes to misalign with the auto thrusters. I chose this one because it highlights the differences.
v2.1 (New)
The thrustmotion moves through and interacts with her whole body, additional force-motion rotations add a slight left/right thrust offset - but without misaligning anything. The new physics setup almost lets you forget that this is a thruster.
v2.0.X (former)
The old motions from Unleashed v2 were already affecting her body, but were prone to hip-angle offsets due to Unleashed having nearly 1000 poses and me not being able to manually finetune everything. The new physics setup now kind of does that job for me for nearly all poses.
v1.X
V1.X thrusters were stiff and robotic - how you'd imagine your typical thruster. The upper body isnt affected by her motions at all. The lighting is also kind of hilarious. Unleashed has come a long way! Thank you for making this possible
In case youre familiar with the DiviningRod plugin - Im currently working on building something like a DiviningVagina which will be another significant upgrade. This will entirely prevent distortions or thrust-offsets, which retroactively smoothens out the nearly 1000 sexposes Unleashed packs currently. It will be ready with 2.2 at the latest and will conclude work on thrusters and insertion for Unleashed. In the current VaM1 plugin landscape, I wont be able to push auto-thrusts any further.
New: BDSM things.
Added various BDSM interactions aswell as a whip that triggers voiced reactions when colliding with your female. Further interactions and interactive toys are coming with 2.1.X updates.
The whip can be found in the Lobby and can be picked up and carried to other maps.
Grand Morph and Sound purge&replacements.
Hundreds to thousands of applied pose-morphs have been removed. Some morph-controlling plugins like E-Motion have also been removed. Many interaction sounds have been replaced and improved. Unleashed 2.0's girl had too many morphs auto-applied that somewhat interfered with either the girls overall appearance or facial expression or the players interaction with the girl. E.g. posemorphs affecting fingers -> affecting handjob trigger consistency. Blowjobs could get fiddly to start because of the girls auto head rotation and view angle, interfering with the blowjob-trigger. Smiles and eye-affecting morphs could somewhat alter the appearance of your custom appearances.
Morph autocontrolling plugins have been and will be further replaced by some other plugins that allow me to set something more modest and deliberate, allowing me to create personality profiles for the girl in the upcoming 2.1.X updates.
Note: This reduces the natural and lively feeling of the girl and makes her more doll-like. Its a trade though, and the positives outshine it by miles. It makes Unleashed significantly more consistent, it doesnt affect the overall appearance of your custom looks and it doesnt result in distorted face expressions or unnatural bends.
New: Smooth transitions
Entering and leaving maps felt somewhat raw and clunky - it triggers a screen fade now, which makes it feel way smoother.
Flawless bends and genital interactions:
These have gotten a few iterations over the last few updates and feel really good now. Bends are natural and the labia drags in/out with the schlong. Done!
Fixes & Improvements:
-Fixed the gesture controls for cumshots - the trigger got misplaced in one of the 2.0.X updates that edited the player avatar. Its now working as intented. Thank you for the feedback!
-Removed various old and unused voicelines that remained in the scene, freeing up space and reducing loading times.
-Reorganized some plugins and triggers for smoother gameplay.
-Significantly improved performance and loading times by removing hundreds to thousands of pose-morphs and unused sfx.
-Many more smaller fixes&improvements. Too many to all list here.
