[p]Hi friends,

first of all, a big thank you to our beta testers for helping us improve our updates and catch the bugs we missed. We truly appreciate your support!

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]![/p][p][/p][p]Path Tracing (Experimental)
Push visuals to the next level with experimental path tracing support, available only on high-end PCs (≥ RTX 4070 in VR). For the best experience, we recommend enabling DLSS.

To activate path tracing, open the Main Menu and go to Settings > Performance. Use the drop down menu for Indirect Light and select one of the Path Tracing options.[/p][p][/p][p]HottieCards with Positional Data
HottieCards are now even more powerful: in addition to storing appearance, clothing, and biographical details, they also save a Hottie’s exact position in the scene and body posture.[/p][p][/p][p]New Animation System with additional Animations
We have switched to a new animation system to support future upgrades and improvements. Alongside this change, we’ve added a variety of new animations - particularly focused on intercourse - to enrich interactions and increase variety.[/p][p][/p][p]Stable Editing
Certain sliders previously caused Hotties to “jump” during changes. They will now remain perfectly still while you edit.[/p][p][/p][p]Refined Animations
We’ve begun reworking our animations to make them more fluid, elegant, and life-like. This update includes the first of these enhanced animations.[/p][p][/p][p]Wet Skin Look
Skin now reacts to wetness in a more natural and realistic way, moving away from the glossy “plastic” look of earlier versions.[/p][p][/p][p]Eye Contact
Eye contact behavior is more precise, consistent, and responsive to your settings.[/p][p][/p][p]As always, this update includes numerous bug fixes and A LOT more improvements, check out the full list of updates below![/p][p][/p][p]Take care
