Outdoor Plaps v022b
Welcome explorers! Yeah I know, dev times for this “micro patch” were f’n brutal. We sincerely apologize to those expecting a quicker turnaround. We had a lot happen during this patch, stuff like lead staff leaving and new staff coming in, moving houses, funerals, etc. Sometimes real life just kicks you in the gonads. However, the dev part of the patch also threw us into a loop, the proposed timeframe for updating the doll system to its final form was 2-3 weeks. In the end, that whole process, including the debugging and tweaking took 3 months.
Time Well Spent
So why did it take so long? The older doll system was pretty unique, for one sex pose - let's take doggy in this example - required a start/intro, a slow, medium, and fast core loop, a finisher, and post-finisher animations for each pose, for each participant. The game using its tracking and needs data for each NPC would then choose which animations to play based on their stamina, their lust, etc. It was stupidly complicated and created a lot of tech debt and jank. Mons would not be synced correctly, or they would not animate long enough for player discovery.
Instead, we ripped all that away (including the NPC needs), and built the sex system off the back of the Smart Object system. Now when a monster spawns, she is given 3 tasks, she seeks one out and does it. If someone enters a sex Smart Object, another mon is pushed to seek out and join, and voila, the sex magically works, jank-free. The removal of the old system required a lot of cleaning, and the new system needed a lot of tweaking. Some interesting examples we had to contend with during development include:
- Too many girls wanted to get some fuckywucky and it made the world very underpopulated.
- Too many girls are obsessed with coming over and over.
- The bees are too horny and ruining threesomes by overcrowding.
- Girls sliding around the world jerking off.
- Girls gain the power of flight after they cum.
17 unique sex animations are being added to the game which include Female x Female, Futa x Female/Futa, and Futa x Tiny (bee). It is worth pointing out that while we do support the removal of all Futa content from the game your play experience will be vastly different from the intended design. For the best results please use Medium or High Futa spawn rates.
It is also far from being completed as well, we made the unfortunate discovery that because our generic animation rig is too different from what the monster girls look like, every animation is off by like 10 centimeters, so penetrations are not what we intend for them to be. The solution for this is to redo all the animations with a monster girl-sized animation rig instead, so that will be pushed into the next patch.
New Features for v022b
After all the doll system overhaul, there is a lot more added to the game that is worth discussing. The first big addition is the new fluid cum system. Now when the ladies goo they actually goo! Naturally, we have a few different ways this can impact the performance of your computer as it is a fluid simulation that mathematically sticks to models - very difficult to build that - it will shoot from the right place, cover whatever it lands on, combine, and stick to models. If you turn off the fluids to save GPU power you will instead get a sprite spray which, won’t stick to much, but it still looks nice. Especially the Bee girl, she can get absolutely covered in batter.
We also fixed the floating hand jerk-off issue as well using an IK system which directs the tip of dongs into the right holes/hands. However, because model sizes are slightly different the actual execution will vary. We plan to normalize all the models going forward so these slight deviations won't be an issue.
Grass now dynamically flattens around sex acts in the game, we might need to come back to this as it can look a little wonky at times when you zoom in from a distance but the flattening is very useful for taking clearer shots when you’re on the same level as your subjects.
Sex now has sound! Plaps, slaps, penetrations, and ejaculations are now dynamically added to the audio soundscapes, you will be able to find sex happening around you just by keeping your ears open. We have also added a temp vocal track to the sex as well, which is mostly used to give us an idea of what exactly needs to be recorded via actresses as it is also a dynamic system.
Plus a bunch more smaller fixes!
- Jamie has a brand new locomotion which makes her far more feminine.
- Monster Girls will not be aware of the player's presence while they are asleep, they will wake up if you make noise or startle another girl.
- Upgraded the engine to Unreal v5.4.2.
- Corrected a boatload of shapekey errors for Monster Girl faces.
- Updated lighting models to improve nighttime visibility.
- Map light sources and props have been overhauled.
And that about sums up everything in this “micro patch”. Our next focus should include a lot more interesting gameplay mechanics as we will be turning our attention to the Predator AI system and how that flows into the current gameplay. Here is a short list of our next patch goals.
- Mating tab for Monpedia for all species.
- Predator AI system.
- Predator spawning system.
- Predator capture and animation system.
- Failure state for capture.
- Torn clothing system and dripping fluids.
- Temp action on wardrobe to replace torn clothing.
- Implement tentacle plant capture and penetration animations along with bee and activation AI.
I hope you all enjoy the patch! Be sure to send in feedback if ya got it!

"Girls gain the power of flight after they cum."
God, dev-test streams of this game would be epic to watch.
Haha, possibly. No where to stream it tbh.
I mean, there's discord. But I knew someone who was talking about a twitch clone that allowed NSFW stuff, barring IRL nudity. I'll have to ask em what the place was again.
Yeah I know of it, but it is so dull to watch people work, honestly. And half my stuff is like super spoiler heavy work, like scripts and working on upcoming stuff no one should know about.
found an interesting bug: I started a new game and after being dropped off at the beach and getting the movement tutorial I tried changing the sneak key to 'C', all buttons stopped working, I could look around with the mouse and the character turned to look but no button worked anymore. Movement, crouching, camera, map, even the menu key stopped working so I had to 'Alt-F4' and restart.
I will make a sacrifice to the dark gods and try again shortly, and this time I will not try to change key binds.
Update: changing key binds in the main menu works, so just don't change key binds mid game and it should be fine.
I think it's more caused by the menu system we had that same bug a few times in engine (aka our editor) but I've never seen it on live builds.
But thank you for the report!
Thank you for the continued updates on the game, along with improvements in frameworks and gameplay. Honestly, I thank y'all for existing and making this game a reality.
Hey you're welcome. Personally I like existing very much.
Super confused how to get the lust option, are sex scenes not available?
I don't follow you. The girls just have sex in the wild now. You don't "control" when and where and who, they just do. We removed the lust bomb as it was purely there for testing purposes.
Does it only happen once you fulfill all their levels, I've only seen solo masturbation. just turned on futa spawn think that solved it, other then I don't believe the animations are lining up.
Sorry to be that guy but did you read the news post?
Just read the part that said if turned off the gameplay will be significantly different, was trying to find the lust thing in game from the tutorial. I'll stop bugging you now lol.
Hopefully things go smoother in the future for you guys.
Look on the bright side even big multimillion dollar companies like Bethesda can't even fix most of their bugs after 10+ years of working on the same game (looking at you 5/6 separate releases of Skyrim all being as -if not more- buggy than the last.), meanwhile you guys knocked out some major bugs about 3,560 days sooner then that!(if the math is wrong that's because I'm awful at math)
I mean honestly who even uses math these days? Thanks for the words of support, we do everything we can to make our games the best we can make them.
Noice. Thanks for the update.
You're whalecum
I appreciate your commitment to improving the game despite so many setbacks and not giving up on development
Set backs happen. Timetables move and shift. We hoped to be on steam this year, maybe that won't happen. It's how dev goes. However giving up isn't something these things would do to us.
is the sex limited to npc only or can the player do it with the mons
sorry for asking if its said
In future patches specifically v022e that's when that functionality will come in.
ok thank you for letting me know
- Girls sliding around the world jerking off.
- Girls gain the power of flight after they cum.
Common issues in general really.
;D
Brosif you have no idea. We were stuck on finding the reason for sooooo long. And the kicker? It's possible that it might "randomly" still happen. We are 99% sure we have killed both of those bugs, but you can never know for sure.
Always the fun chance that the issue comes back after working on other content! Programming really is just casting magic spells as a computer wizard or something.
You're not wrong.
