Greetings everyone,
It's time for our first development update of 2024! 👽👽👽
I intend to make more frequent dev updates throughout the year to keep everyone aware of the progress being made for Captain Hardcore.
With that said, PC version 0.18 is going very well. Many new features are in progress, and a new large environment will create many new scene possibilities!
Facial Expressions
I'm working on more than 30 character expressions. These will all be fine-tuneable with sliders, but I plan to automate some for dynamic character reactions.
Tongue posing/animations
There will be controls for the tongue and new dynamic animations. Characters will automatically lick each other when in the correct position. This should also mean Aheago expressions will be possible! 👅
The "look at system" has been re-built from scratch
- Fixed a gimbal lock issue that caused the head and eyes to glitch at certain angles.
- Head and eye rotation now work perfectly, regardless of character orientation. With the old system, they would not rotate correctly when the character was on their back, side, or upside down.
- Increased the head constraint limits so that it can rotate further backward.
Smart look at mode
When they notice the player, toys, or other characters' faces or genitals, the characters' gazes automatically follow them. Also, when a toy or other object is inserted into their mouth, they only track movement with their eyes. This prevents animations from being messed up!
New environment: Suburban Neighbourhood
An entire street consisting of 16 houses, which are all enterable! This large environment opens up so many scene creation possibilities in a more "realistic" setting, and I can't wait to see what everyone does with it! There's even a button to switch between day and night mode! New spawnable furniture objects are also being added so that you can decorate the house interiors however you like.
We have more screenshots on our Discord server!
Overall, this is shaping to be a great addition to the game. I'm working hard to complete everything and keep improving the game for Steam. I will have more news about releasing on Steam during the next Steam Next Festival. Meanwhile, if you want to get early builds, you can get them here.
Last but not least, our friends at Lovense are hosting an exclusive discount for toys that can increase immersion while playing Captain Hardcore! It's a limited-time sale!
Thank you all for the incredible support! 👽👽👽
