Big 'Ol Update: Content plans for this month, v0.2.7, Random Outfit Disable, Ui Improvements, Bug fixes, Performance Improvements!
🕑 Added 2021-12-07 01:41:06 +0000 UTCSorry for being so late with this release, it was supposed to come out nearly 2 weeks ago but there was an issue with an asset I couldn't fix myself, so I decided to wait for a fix a bit and well it never came out. Then I got sick at the start of the month lol. After that I worked on a workaround to the issue and did some final bug fixes to get this out.
Ok so we're gonna go over a couple things: Content plans for this month, and what's in v0.2.7. Lets get the update out of the way first.
v0.2.7
This release is a small increment because not a whole lot has been added. Mostly it's UI fixes and optimizations for the android release. Of which this should be more stable than previous android releases.
WARNING THOUGH, because of the way outfit items are loaded, the game may freeze for a moment while an "Outfit Preset" loads and other items may not immediately appear when selected. There're no loading indicators yet, this will be improved in the future. Selecting outfit items too fast or rapidly rapping while an outfit loads may crash the game.
- Random Outfit Toggle! You can now disable Naomi automatic swapping outfits in the settings. Want Naomi to live like a wolf girl? Now you can! While this is a QoL feature it may change a bit to avoid conflicts with story stuff in the future, but this should always be an option from now on.
- UI Tool Tips! Among some other UI issues fixed, I heard this quite a bit from people, so now when you hover over some UI items, you'll get a tool tip on what the button is. It might be a bit iffy sometimes though, usually after selecting a button.
- SSAO Improvements! I finally was able to figure out why the better SSAO settings didn't work and now that's added. Resulting in a much nicer effect that was seen right before changing to URP a while ago.
- Many UI Improvements! The first implementation of the UI had much lacking, and a lot of things have been improved! For example, UI scale is no longer enabled at default. And some instances where the UI would not change on highlight has been improved. More work is still needed ofcourse.
- Ultrawide screen is fixed! This went under the radar for a while and I have no idea how long this has been busted, but given how it was related to an Android issue probably for a long time. I can't fix these things if people don't tell me about them!
- TONS OF BUG FIXES! A lot was broken last build despite the many improvements. This release seems to be very functional fixing some core issues. Thanks to everyone on the discord testing and helping me find problems! It's impossible for me to look through everything.
There's a few issues still, some lighting is busted, and certain outfit items may not be rendered correctly.
Content Plans
So, as I said before the current general state of this current release will be releases for a good while with probably a bug fix here or there. Cause we need to be able to work on the story and gameplay content release without worrying about the game being functional intermittently. This should let us work faster and better, but it will still be a few months before this is ready.
But in the meantime, new content will be made, shown and sometimes released. But if release it will be part of the current build state not the future one. So you can expect outfits, maybe new sex sim content, maybe new poses, maybe some graphical experiments. Just depends on what gets done and when and monthly releases aren't guaranteed to help keep focus.
All that said here's the plan for this month.
My main objectives besides some environment work needed is to get some outfits done. Thanks to the addition of cloth sim the options for outfit items has opened greatly! Also, I really wanted to do something robotic cause I'm horrible at hard surface modeling. So, I've been trying to get a commission for a robotic themed outfit, and it turned out @Echanis_Enicha was open!
I asked them to go all out with a dog theme for Naomi and they did wonderfully! I should be streaming work more this month since it's not just boring busy work like before. So be sure to follow me on picarto!
Other outfits will also be worked on, not sure exactly when I'll work on which.
Besides that, Animations and other stuff is being worked on by other people. I have some new people I'm bringing on to help, but I'm also considering updating my pipeline again with the new Blender 3.0 and asset library stuff. Not 100% on that yet...
This month should be pretty fun!
Conclusion
Thanks for your patience especially the people waiting on other platforms besides windows. I hope you enjoy this update.

Hi! Paid $7 for Our Apartment for OSX, but it has permanently 8 lines of text in the left bottom corner and a table in the upper right corner with graphs avg, fps, ram, audio... Can it be fixed, please? Otherwise its 7 bucks thrown away (oh yes, and the figure is permanently x-ray version, not very sexy...).
