This is an out of cycle release, and is an unfortunate byproduct of a discovery I made recently. I will also make a public announcement, but I will include a copy of it here too:
A few days ago, it became clear that several 3D models I had originally sourced from Sketchfab had fraudulent licensing attached to them by third-party uploaders who did not have the rights to the respective works.
To protect the project and ensure development can continue smoothly, I am removing these specific characters and resources. I am also removing all other characters / resources based on models I cannot 100% verify. In some cases, several of these resources have already disappeared from Sketchfab, clearly indicating something was fishy about them. Moving forward, I will no longer assume a license is valid without direct verification, and will require some sort of proof of ownership from the uploader.
What this means for the game:
Character / body types removal: The affected characters and their resources have been removed from the game. Unfortunately this means that I am removing all anthro characters and body types. While this is disappointing, and a significant change, I want to make sure that the project is protected from the sort of issues that can arise from the use of unlicensed assets
Your saved characters: Any characters you may have created that are based on those assets will no longer display in-game. The data remains in your save files, but the visual models will be unavailable until verified or replacement assets are implemented. IMPORTANT: If you have a saved tournament containing character references based on any of the removed resources, you will have to manually delete the tournament_data.json file, using Options > File manager. Pressing the Tournament button will cause the game to crash otherwise
All previous versions of the game (v1.8 and older for the Patreon version, and v1.0.5 and older for the free version) are now deprecated. They are no longer supported and have been removed from Patreon and itch.io.
I know this will be disappointing to many, and some people will leave because of it. This is a necessary step to keep the game secure as it continues to grow, however.
I am currently looking to source and license new character models to replace those being removed. I will provide further updates regarding integrating new and verified assets as it happens. Just to set the right expectations: this might not be a quick process.
Changelog:
Body types:
This release is removing all character assets for which I have no definitive proof of authorship. As mentioned, I'm doing this in order to protect the game and make sure everything included is perfectly covered by appropriate licenses
Any characters you may have created that are based on these assets will no longer display in-game. The data remains in your save files, but the visual models will be unavailable until verified or replacement assets are implemented. You won't be able to select any of these characters (they will show up as disabled in the roster). If you wish to delete them, please use the File manager under Options. The saved files are under Characters/
IMPORTANT: If a saved tournament contains character references based on any of the removed resources, you will have to manually delete the tournament_data.json file, using Options > File manager. Pressing the Tournament button will likely cause the game to crash otherwise
Wearables and appearance:
Updated Bra compatibility with flatter chests (specifically the No breasts shape)
Gallery:
Added a Repeat check button. If the button is toggled off, the playback will stop on the last valid action, and not restart from the beginning
Empty action controls on the timeline are now skipped during playback
The Play button is disabled for timeline action controls that are empty (same as the Edit button)
Other:
An orgasm can be triggered on the same action up to and including the next to last variant (as opposed to being blacklisted from the next to last variant and all the way to the end)
Fixes:
Fix user defined stat values on the first action being ignored on the first play (i.e. on the initial play and on Restart)
Fix previous variant id based conditionals not evaluating correctly when playing a new variant in certain situations in the Gallery, as a result of the previous variant id missing
Fix defeat_missionary_ass_fuck leaving target in loser_in_prone instead of loser_lying_on_their_back
Fix Bra clipping
Fix conditions on variant of straddling_cowgirl
