🕑 Added 2025-04-29 23:47:08 +0000 UTCThis month we're giving Astera a voice! We had to redo all of her audio because we lost the unfiltered audio, but it's still the same VA: CottonTail!
We're all still on the grind fixing various things and making the game a smoother and more fun experience, please provide feedback in the discord in the issue reports and feedback sections! Make sure Show All Channels is checked when you right click the server icon if you don't see the feedback and bug report channels.

Known Issues
Laser might not register with UI sometimes, possible fixes are: Game restart, by setting the game window to focus by clicking on it, or by alt-tabbing (let me know if this still happens, I may have fixed it)
Browser doesn't launch when hitting authenticate, or refuses to connect: Try running in admin mode or setting a different browser to default temporarily
Common Solutions to Game Issues
These are common solutions to many problems, ranging from the tongue not spawning to the game not launching in VR, or the game not authenticating. Try these out first if you're having issues, they work surprisingly often. If they don't work, message me and I'll be glad to help.
All issues (try these first):
Right click on verifyintegrity.ps1 and select 'Run with PowerShell' to validate your files. If this fails, redownload the game. The download got corrupted.
Make sure the game isn't installed within any folders that have winky faces or other unusual characters in them at any part in the path. This includes characters from other languages.
Webroot, and rarely other antiviruses falsely flag the game and will delete its files without telling you anything. Make sure they don't do that
Restart the game and your computer
Auth issues:
If you're using a VPN it must be a system-wide VPN, not just a browser VPN
If you have a localhost error in your browser, press the auth trouble button below the authenticate button and follow the directions exactly.
Check "use alternate port" below the authenticate button
Run the game as admin
Make sure an antivirus isn't messing with Heat
Make sure game is let through firewall
Set a different browser to default temporarily
Disable adblocker temporarily
Disable any security that could prevent your computer from opening a socket and accepting a connection temporarily
VR issues:
Adding the game as a non-steam game then running from within SteamVR (if not working in VR)
Press P to switch to 2D mode and L to switch to VR mode on your keyboard
If your hands don't work, reset SteamVR bindings for the game. If you can't do this, launch the game from the .exe, not from the Steam shortcut
If you're using Oculus and the game doesn't launch in VR, launch SteamVR and sit in it for about 30 seconds then run the game from within SteamVR
Reinstall/validate SteamVR and Oculus software
Update video drivers
VR Framerate issues: Try changing VR pre-rendered frames & VR variable rate shading in Nvidia Control Panel
Clicking on the game window with your mouse when the game is open then putting on your VR headset (if the UI laser doesn't work)
Make sure the game isn't installed within any folders that have winky faces or other unusual characters in them at any part in the path. This includes characters from other languages.

Whenever I try to open the game it is in repsonive and just a white screen

she should have that dialogue, it may not be triggering correctly. We'll take a look at those issues. Thanks!

i figured it out on my own, depending on how much ram you have you might need to go to ram -> advanced settings -> performance options -> advanced -> virtual memory -> click change -> then uncheck the option that says automatically manage paging filing size for all drives -> then click on your main drive where your windows is installed / and your anthro game . select the custom size . Now for example if you have 8 gigs of ram installed put 16000 for the minimum and 24000 for the maximum / Or if it's more than 8 just do (your ram) x 1000 + 2500 then for the maximum do double of it , restart your pc and open up the advanced tab to see if it changed to the number you set then run steam , click steamvr connect your vr and then just double click your anthro game let me know if your confused

Having the same issues as the BloxyCola person, let me know if there's a fix!

The new voice lines are quite good! She sounds a bit different now, but I appreciate how many lines there are for her to react to various things. Out of curiosity, are there any vore-related lines? I know Atlas has a few, but all the other characters with voices since only seem to react to shrinking/scale changes. Is there a specific trigger for them, or is that dialogue planned for later? Just curious, as it would be nice if a female character also had a line or two. Also, an option to control the frequency of dialogue would be good to see later on, like a slider. The on/off setting in the main menu is appreciated, but doesn't help if you want them to talk more and isn't the simplest to change mid-gameplay. Just a thought. Lastly, I ran into 2 issues during my testing: 1. 2D playerbody seems to not have collision with the bed, especially when small scale. It also seems a bit glitchy when trying to exit the vore map. 2. Exiting the vore scene through the other end with the 2d playerbody loaded the base map, but prevented me from opening the menu. Everything else seemed to work, but I was stuck at 5% scale on the floor and had to force-close the game.

Can confirm this version runs on Steam Deck. You need to use Proton Hotfix compatibility mode.
Edef
yes of course, that means it's completely busted

Should I be worried about the checksum errors when unpacking? Looks like it's all sharedassets.assets
