Hucow Simulator Demo 9 [VaM]
🕑 Added 2024-04-07 04:06:55 +0000 UTCThis version is outdated, see the latest update here!
[Updated file in Mega link, fixed bug with Injector placement. For anyone who managed to install v8 while it was still up, please update to v9]
Thank you guys for your patience. With major contributions from discord member CamelCase, many major systems were overhauled- giving a much cleaner and more intuitive code base. From the user perspective, it will just seem as if the menus are a little less 'quirky' - but on the back end, it means the workflow for adding features and new content is Dramatically reduced.
Case in point, I was originally going to launch this latest version with 3 new items, but had an idea for the 4th item (Virt-A-Cola) and added it in then and there, in less than 10 minutes. That would have been impossible on the last code base. Look forward to a larger variety of new features and items in the updates to come.. and if you have any ideas for something in particular, let me know!
With that major overhaul done, I can start actually tackling the dialogue system, which is going to be the main focus of next update, and is the bottleneck to a lot of upcoming feature interactions. To keep everyone entertained until then, please enjoy this update's new weight gain, ass expansion, muscle growth, belly stuffing capacity progression paths, and the 4 new items to explore them!
Please let me know via email or Discord if there's any bugs, or if you have any feedback or ideas!
Behind the player, on the floor, is an “Emergency Reload” button, which fixes if something gets hardlocked or broken. In case of uncaught bugs, please take advantage of it and let me know where you got stuck!
Item Descriptions
Outfits: Purchasing and wearing an outfit for the first time gives a boost to [Affection]

HerdSys Diagnostics: Coming Soon!
Scrap Injector: Tool to load and inject [Capsule]’s, small penalty to [Affection]
–Hormone Supplements–
Cal-Keep: Multiplier for bonus [Weight Gain] per calorie
reBovinate: Coming Soon!
Bull Boost: Coming Soon!

–Food–
(New!) Water: Zero calorie option to fill stomach
SteadyCal Plus: High calorie drink
(New!) Virt-a-Cola: Moderate calorie option, carbonated and takes more space in stomach
Brioche, Cupcake, Bagel: Variable calorie snacks that offer different bonuses to [Affection]
Progression
[Breast Expansion]: Maximum size is reached through maxing out Capacity with Megaflo, and growth through milking. Failing to milk will cause breasts to become [Irritated] - incurring a penalty to [Affection] the longer they stay unattended.
[Weight Gain]: Maximum size reached through consuming calories.
[Belly Stuffing]: The stomach can be stuffed and stretched out independent of Weight Gain- increasing the amount of food, or hormone supplements you can consume per day. Capacity is increased by filling the stomach to greater than >75%, up to maximum capacity each day.
[Muscle Growth]: Currently only attainable via Beef Boost.. More ways to ‘exercise’ this progression are coming soon! Reaching >50% Muscle Growth will start to partially decrement Weight Gain progression.
[Ass Expansion]: Currently only attainable via Heifer Helper.. More options, soon!
Mix and match breast and ass expansion, weight gain, stuffing, muscle growth.. All progression (except the last halves of Muscle Growth/Weight Gain) are compatible with each other, and mix! Experiment saving and loading progress to 3 different [Save Slot]s, to try them all out!
Changelog
---- V 0.5 (this version) ----
- 4 new items (Heifer Helper, Virt-a-Cola, Beef Boost, Water)
- WIP foundation for 3 new progressions (Belly Stuffing Capacity, Muscle Growth, Ass Expansion)
- Overhaul of menu/item logic; cleaner item menus, less lag and quirky bugs
- Dialogue options temporarily removed, rewrite in progress
- Animation compatibility with Large Sizes (Still have some instability, WIP)
---- V 0.4.5 ----
- Foundation for “Affect” system: Sweets, trying on new clothes and milking will increase happiness. Injections or leaving breasts full will cause unhappiness. Neglecting unmilked breasts will make the hucow increasingly unhappy, and cause breasts to get red and irritated.
- New Save Slot system: allows for saving, loading and resetting with 3 save ‘slots’.
- Option to enforce symmetry on breasts: hardlocks any future growth to be spread evenly, and uneven breasts to grow towards symmetry if enabled.
- Option to disable menu fade animation. This improves performance.
- Balance changes: Raised the amount of money gained from working, and lowered the threshold to sell contents of a milk container to 66% full. Later versions will have different sized containers to better accommodate different hucows production rates.
- Many bugfixes with the closet, milk container, and breast behavior.
---- V 0.4 ----
-New inventory system
-New automatic file save system
-Tentatively addressed bug where some users had preset.vap’s fail to install correctly
-2 new stores, in addition to previously existing clothes store
-14 new items (3 items are currently placeholders, to be fully implemented later), one new outfit
-New drinking, injection animations, placeholder eating animation
-Supplement feature: different supplements cause different effects, which decay over time at a rate inverse to the volume of their consumption
-Injectable feature: different injectables cause different effects on a per-breast basis, be sure to buy two of each, and use them on either breast for them to remain symmetrical
---- V 0.2, 0.3 hotfix ----
- Misc Bug Fixes, performance improvements, misc polish
- Milk can be collected in a bucket, stored in a container and sold once filled

- Saving/loading the scene outside of the Primary Menu may break something. The scene auto saves your progress; no need to hit save, ever!
- Double-click any button quickly at your own risk; nothing extra should happen, but it will probably break something
- Largest Sizes cause clipping issues/distortion with most Outfits. Solution WIP.

I would love actual sound

Some time this month! I've got the succubus update coming in a few days that took much longer than expected from some surprise rewrites I had to make; but the hucow one should be a lot quicker though since the upcoming changes are a lot simpler; mostly just new content on existing systems/code
Jenna Andrews
when update
reepie
Having tons of issues loading this scene. The first ass expansion one you did was just fine but this one refuses to load. I understand the things you have to click "allow always" for when loading, but its error messages at the very bottom middle of the screen that the issue is.
Blaubar
nice! and they indeed do stack, in a few minutes I got her to be able do drink about 100 coke bottles in one sitting
Bury She
If you dont wait for the animation, probably not. I can't recall off the top of my head, but I think I have the actual variable update fired off as a trigger at the end of the animation sequence Menu X-Ray occurs in VR and desktop, is not a bug; but just how VaM renders opacity and render queues. It can be reliably leveraged to make cool X-ray style effects if that's your intention Demo 10 and "Another Unannounced Thing" are both coming along nicely. Finally making some progress on the speech code that's been haunting me the past.. 5 updates? yeesh
Blaubar
Do drinks and pills stack, even if you dont wait for the animation? if you spam them via choose-consume-choose-consume and minor but welcome bug, if you view in desktop mode from behind de menu buttons, the become like Xray glasses and lastly, and please dont take it pushy I'm just interested, how is demo 10 coming along?
Bury She
Please send me a video of the fade issue on discord or to buryshe@gmail.com, it may be a quest issue, but it also may be a bug, since the plugin controlling that fade effect is very finnicky Thanks for bringing the sleep button to my attention, that is definitely unintended, I'll be fixing that for next update Outfits are getting attention later, and there is no current method to introduce your own custom outfits unless you really dig into the code. I wont be outlining that here, since I'm intending to make an 'add your own custom outfit' solution, as well Each drink causes 'growth over time' effects that you'll only see the effects of after each day's night cycle. Its strength decays per day, but also stacks with itself; so drinking a whole bunch all at once means you are going to see more dramatic changes each day, and for more days as it tapers off sound very wip, low priority, maybe I'll be able to throw some placeholder stuff in with the dialogue stuff I'm working on. Foley work and sound design is a whole ballgame unto itself
Jenna Andrews
When do we get sound? Also, had a lot of bugs when playing, such as the fade being about a foot above me (maybe a quest tracking issue), pressing sleep several times passing several days at once instead of one day, though you mentioned that. More outfits would also be nice, I'm not familiar enough with VaM to add custom outfits. And a question for you, does drinking several "potions" in one day have an extra effect? Are they over time or immediate?
Bury She
Good luck, from what I hear the quest is a big finnicky with VirtAMate- but there's documentation for how to iron it out on their discord! I envy the latest quest3 hand tracking..
Tatonka
Yep that did it, took about 7 launches but got there. Now to figure out how to get it to go in VR mode using Virtual Desktop on Quest 2 lol. (turns out oculus air link, not virtual desktop, is the way to go)
Tatonka
OK I'll just keep launching and hope to get through them all, lotta freezes so far but maybe I just need to be more patient. TY!
Bury She
Any time any new plugin is loaded, from any scene, you'll be prompted to 'allow' it or not (dont allow plugins you dont recognize, may be malware, etc). You'll have to click through them all at least once. You may run into a bug where confirming the last one doesn't dismiss the prompt window, relaunching fixes that.
Tatonka
lotta warnings about plugins? first time using VaM. Are there a bunch of plugins I'm supposed to download somewhere and add to VaM in addition to this one? Can launch the scene but it basically freezes w/ all the update warnings.
