• Standardized and finalized combat moves, damage dealt, and energy requirements for them
• “DoesNotFightBack” state now disallows the player to enter or exit combat mode
• NPCs no longer fidget when they are holding an item (prevents clipping)
• NPCs no longer play conversation animations when certain interactive items (that are marked internally) are being held (prevents clipping)
• Fixed a navigation issue where Patrick could get permanently stuck on the couch (until warped)
• Recalibrated the “drunk effect”. I.E. The player is no longer a lightweight
• Fixed some issues with the speakers syncing up with each other.
• Changed the way all voice acting is loaded. Should be faster and require less loading up front.
• Fixed an issue where you could quick-save on game over
• The Property, Personality, Roaming, State, and Value commands will not be flagged as ‘Cheated’ (i.e. will not disable Achievements) if they are used with the “list” subcommand. SEND US YOUR DEBUG INFO WITH PEACE OF MIND!
• The CharInfo command will no longer flag the Player as ‘Cheated’ (i.e. will not disable Achievements). GIVE US YOUR DATAZ
• You can now Add float values (as opposed to just integers) to a Character Value in the CSC, and the ModifyValue – Add event option will take floats into account
• The GameMsg console command will no flag the Player as “Cheating” (i.e. will no longer disable Achievements)
• Tweaks to Keychain itemfunctions to improve look of Keychain on Patrick’s manhood
• When using the Values command with the “list” subcommand, the output of values will now be sorted alphabetically
• The Charinfo console command will now also show what other characters can be seen by the specified/target character
• Added male and player “talking on phone” animation
• Fixed an issue where the speakers would sometimes lose sync with each other
• Fixed an issue where objects would not regain their textures after being lost in the grass and being illuminated
• Fixed an issue where warp-locations to move targets could get corrupted on a reload or loaded saved game
• The stairs no longer use one very tall collider that blocks obvious line of sight for the first 8 steps or so. The angle of the stair railings and geometry is now followed…be careful there!
• Added new Vision Blockers around downstairs curtains to prevent obnoxious NPC sight checks when trying to hide
• Added a Vision Blocker to part of the kitchen sink window to prevent sight checks passing from around the Outside Move Target in through the front hallway(!)
• Added Vision Blocker that loosely follows the OUTER/firepit-side edge of the bushes outside the living room. This (and the curtain Blockers) will prevent NPCs looking in through the densest portions of the bushes AND through the window blinds to be unable to see other Characters, but will leave gaps on the widest viewing angles into the living room. It will also allow creepers to more effectively hide in the bushes away from Characters at the fire pit, etc.
• NPCs can now also see out the laundry room and art room windows if another Character is on the roof
• Standardized all height checks in the codebase to 1.8 units
• The TriggerBGC command will now close the console so that the user can see the specified NPC more clearly as well as any chatter text that might come up
• Added a global AddSmallForwardMomentum ItemFunction that can be used to throw many different items
• Made more small items “extra” visible if dropped outside in the grass
• Added a new event, WarpItemTo, that will allow CSC users to warp items (not chairs, beds, etc., just regular interactive items) to a movetarget or character. This will not work cleanly with all interactive items due to certain object or prefab structures, and is therefore a work in progress
• Added WarpItemTo subcommand for the Item console command
• Added a couple more sound effects that can be used with the InvisAudioPlayer via ItemFunction
• Re-added a sex spot to Compubrah VR bed that could cause issues when Characters tried to use it

• Added a GlobalizationManager (for future extension) and modified handling of certain time localization code to avoid exceptions being thrown for specific regions
• Fixed a hardcoded typo in SearchEditor that could prevent “Anybody”-targeted searches from functioning correctly in the CSC
• Fixed DisplayGameMessage events showing two “Delay” texts when configuring the event in the CSC
• Started adding some “auto cleanup” functionality within the CSC that will clear out event data that is not needed by a given event. For example, DisplayGameMessages do not need an e.Key (event Key), and leaving it populated can lead to confusing search functionality and bloat, or even user errors when making heavy use of the CSC’s copy-paste feature
• CSC users can now rearrange the order of Event Triggers within Character Stories
• CSC users will now get specific Interaction and Use With information when CSC Search results are found within the Main Story file
• CSC users will now be told when CSC Search results found within a Dialogue are tied to a Start Event, Close Event, or Response Event
• The pink dildo now has a collision sound. TOP PATCH NOTE RIGHT HERE
• Added collision sounds to a few more interactive items that matter way less than the dildo
• Fixed the way certain console commands (WarpTo, WalkTo, LookAt, and more) interpret DialogueOnly characters like Compubrah and PhoneCall. These will now be ignored in commands or as parameters for subcommands that should not or cannot make use of them

• Fixed an issue with NPCs not being able to open the closet doors in the art room
• Added combat movement animations to the player
• Tweaked the combat UI
• The IKReach game event and IKReach Console Command can now be used to direct a character’s hands, hips, or feet towards a movetarget or character, in addition to interactive items
• When a character IKReach-es for another character, they will target the secondary character’s chest
• TriggerBGCs that are initiated while an NPC is ALREADY knocked out will now play as long as that NPCs “pass out” sound effect is not currently playing
• The Player character now has its own KnockBack Character Function(edited)
• When using the Player : Inventory : Remove game event, the item that is removed/drops will now use the Continuous Dynamic collision detection mode, similar to other events on the backend like throwing, etc. This more aggressive collision detection mode should help some with certain items being kicked through floors, etc.
• Refactored a number of items’ collision detection modes and code to prevent kinematic rigidbody and collision detection mode error spam and small number of standalone warnings
• Added another Phone item to the game
• The vibrator now has a very-relevant-and-not-at-all-made-at-home-with-things-the-developers-touch sound effect available
• InteractiveItems can now have their Audio playback stopped via the StopAllAudio ItemFunction
• Pretty sure you all wanted this: added the PokedByVibrator Event Trigger. Right? Hello? AM I ALONE IN THIS HIVE OF BEES?
• Enabled the vibrator’s “Clitpocalypse” setting…
• Made male player’s shoes and sleeves higher-poly and improved rig
• Updated interactive items and grabbable body parts with new player rig hand(s)

• Player.Sit and Player.Laydown events will now have the target bed/chair shown in the logs and in the CSC
• Added Throw Punch SendEvent option to the CSC
• Tweaked the dropdowns in the CSC for State Events and State Criteria to be alphabetically sorted, and the order of the dropdowns within the GUI element to be more in-line with the game event and criteria naming structure
• Gave Leah an Earpiece she can reach for. For security reasons
• Added the “PhoneBlindedMe” reaction event for CSC users. This will trigger when a Phone Light is visibly on and a Character enters a roughly character-sized capsule that extends outward from the Phone Light

• DialogueOnly characters (Phone Call, Compubrah) can no longer be selected for an IKReach event
• Further standardization of Game Event naming and logging conventions with CSC dropdowns
• WalkToTargetOption “Cancel” will no longer show up in various places in the CSC where having a “Cancel” option was inappropriate
• Further standardization of Criteria naming and CSC dropdowns (against Game Events where appropriate), with exceptions for criteria such as “Distance”, “Vision” and “Is In Front Of”, etc. which are more readable with slightly different formatting.

• Added missing dropdowns for the Criteria/CompareType when selecting IsCurrentlyUsing or IsCurrentlyBeingUsed

• If the “None” criteria is selected in the CSC, the user will be able to select another criteria from the dropdown, instead of having to remove that criteria and choose a new one
• CSC users can now directly compare two values, whether they are “owned” by the same character, or two different characters

• Important/TriggerBGC will now be shown even if an NPC is not within direct line of sight of the Player, or is a full floor above the Player
• DialogueOnly Characters like PhoneCall and Compubrah can no longer be set to receive GetsHitByProjectile event triggers in the CSC
• In the CSC, an Event Trigger can now call itself via a PerformEvent game event IF its Delay is greater than zero. Previously, this was restricted due to the possibility of recursively firing an infinite number of events with a delay of zero, which could freeze the game
• Various accuracy and reliability improvements to the GetsHitByProjectile event functionality
• Fixed an issue that was causing beer pong to be unplayable, especially if the Player grabbed the “starter” ball first and then tried to Practice

• Adjusted the NoLoitering system so it will no longer try to fire whenever any and/or all of a character’s ragdoll colliders enter a NoLoiter/Redirect area; firing once per “character entry” now results in a more reliable NoLoitering changelocation
• All phone-type items now have access to default item functions as well as the new EnablePhoneLight and DisablePhoneLight itemfunctions, with cellphone-style “flash lights” aligned to their rear camera flashes
• All phone-type items now have a text message sound available as either their Sound Effect 1 or Sound Effect 2 sound, for more flexible usage in custom stories

• All phone-type items now use the same interaction distance value
