Hi friends,
for those who aren't familiar with our Beta procedure, please read the following explanations. For everyone else, feel free to jump to the next column.
We started rolling out BETA versions of our game first, followed by the regular update 1-2 weeks later. If you're interested in participating as a beta user, simply head over to your Steam library, click the cog wheel, select "Properties" > "Betas" and choose "public-beta" from the drop-down menu.
If you prefer to wait for the regular update, there's no need to do anything but sit tight, as it will be coming soon.
For those interested in exploring the world of VR HOT beyond Steam (General News, our Patreon page with the Quest version and AI features, etc.), make sure to join our Discord server [HERE] or check out our Patreon [HERE]!
As you might know, there are two versions of VR HOT: the PCVR version available here on Steam and the MR-only standalone version VR HOT for Quest, available on our Patreon page.
We finally managed to bring both versions together into a unified development platform, which will significantly speed up future updates and improve game performance!
This update brings a number of exciting new features and gameplay improvements, many of which have been requested by you.
First of all, we manually overhauled and reworked basically ALL sexual animations. Face animations and transitions between animations have also been improved.
We also built a new asset management system for hairstyles, clothing, and skins, resulting in lower memory usage and faster loading times without stuttering.
Similar to the Quest version, there is now a Hands Only mode in VR, minimizing unwanted collisions between your player body, the Hottie, and furniture. Especially in our experimental mixed reality „Greenscreen AR“ room this is a really helpful option.
The "Walk There" command is now much easier to use - simply turn your head towards the point where you want the Hottie to go and trigger the command.
Hottie navigation has been improved, resulting in smoother and more reliable movement.
More improvements: The spreader bar physics, lip sync, eye contact and more. This update also introduces four new skins for even more customization options.
Finally, we added the AgX tone mapping color profile, which you might already know from other high end games.
As always, this update includes many additional bug fixes and improvements. Check out the full list of changes below!
Take care
