Heat 0.4.8.2 Milestone - Astera!

EDIT: Hotfixed character menu in other locations

Say hello to Astera! She's our Synth girl.

We've been having lots of fun making things unique for her, since she's a robot and all. Play around with her and see what kind of unique things you can find! We'll make a male synth as well soon, making their parts interchangeable.

Astera was modeled by our artist Wiah, and voiced by Cottontail!

We've also included an easter egg mod for this months release. Stay on the Discord for an announcement about that soon!

This build also includes a new duo pose and a bunch of fixes. Check out the full changelog below!

The tools for modding are found in the mods channel on Discord.

Check out the full changes below and please provide feedback in Discord! Thank you everyone for your continued support of Heat! Your support allows this game to exist!

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
• Restart the game and your computer

Auth issues:

• 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)
• 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
• 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)
