Plans for v2.19 (22 Feb)
Added 2020-02-17 15:43:14 +0000 UTCFirst of all, thank you so much for everyone’s amazing support over the past couple of days! We’re already getting quite close to the $500 milestone so hopefully, with some more support, the upcoming v2.19 could even turn out to be the final v2.x update before our highly anticipated 5-update v3.0 AI and Interaction Overhaul.
But first thing’s first, V2.19 will be an important update in its own right. It will address a common complaint about sex scenes: the characters all look like emotionless robots (or underpaid unmotivated pornstars!) going at it. It will also enhance the user friendliness of the sex scene UI. Here are the plans:
- Add dynamic animated facial expressions for all characters during sex scenes, especially focusing on movements of the eyes, brows, forehead and mouth.
- The facial expressions will increase in intensity as the characters get closer to cum, finally resulting in their ‘orgasm faces’ (eyes rolled back etc)
- Mouth movements will sync with the sex moans.
- Improve the sex action menu and reduce scrolling by adding new quick access buttons for the major categories of sex positions. Also, split the undressing and bondage options (a major cause of the endless scrolling) into a side menu and make these options more visual.
- Add auto scaling for the Mod Manager and Select City menus, so that thing no longer get cut out of the screen for less common screen dimensions like 4:3 and 16:10.
- Fix some problems with the textured maps added in v2.18 (most importantly, the unneccessary and time-consuming map regeneration after every scene that includes sex). Also, add a checkbox in the Select City menu for “Classic Map Graphics” for people who prefer performance / more accurate building sizes.
- Bug fixes, modders’ requests ((ClearGetList) and other improvements
Estimated Release Date: Sat, 22 Feb (a release candidate for public beta testing to be released at least 48 hours in advance)

Looking forward to that release. And happy that the short pause after sex scene will hopefully be much short. :)
