Heat 0.4.5.2 Milestone - 3 Chars, Backthrusts, Player naughty bit scale, Lovense API support, New poses, Holiday special!
Added 2022-12-16 18:09:55 +0000 UTCThis milestone is coming out a bit early, as we're taking some much needed time off during the last 2 weeks of December. However, we've still got lots of fun stuff this month that's been in the works for a while that we've finished up!
Firstly, we're allowed more chars in the scene at once, to 3. This may cause performance issues in VR though, so use at your own risk.
Next, much requested: Backthrusts! Characters will now thrust back onto dildos and dicks if they're in a pose they can do so. Just make sure hip thrusts are on in radial menu.
We've also added a slider to scale your player naughty bits. Self explanatory :)
We've added official Lovense API support- This can be toggled in the IRL toys menu, and will require the use of their bluetooth dongle or their mobile app. This adds pump support for things like the Max 2!
The new poses are masturbation anims. We've got one for Hera, Garret, and Aurora. They'll handle themselves in this one, you don't need to help ;)
And lastly, it's Heat's first holiday special! A candy cane toy mod has been included in the game, and all the socked characters have new socks to choose from :)
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!
How to run Heat(Remember you need SteamVR to run the game in VR, and 7zip(recommended) or WinRAR to unpack it.)

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 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)
Comments
I have an HTC Vive Cosmos and an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, and have reinstalled both SteamVR and graphic drivers, but I just get the Vive Loading screen basically on my headset, and Heat runs on my PC desktop instead. I've added it to Steam and tried starting it through SteamVR home, but it still won't start up properly. Anyone else having these kind of issues?

2023-01-13 23:04:43 +0000 UTCIs there any way to turn off toys shooting when you pull the triggers? They do it when putting them to auto a lot

2023-01-13 07:54:31 +0000 UTCI’m a little late to comment on this one so I’ll probably redo it on the next post but here it is! A neat idea for an addition to the masturbation anims would be to have the masturbation animation script of the characters be connected to the hands in such a way that would allow them to interact with their own parts automatically, rather than solidify the animation to a completely separate animation reel. I know, easier said then done but that’s my 2 cents. May it inspire ideas!

2023-01-09 03:15:53 +0000 UTCthere is no direct turn off button, but i just binded it to in the steamVR options. because you have to bind it to something, so choose something you dont press accidentally.

2022-12-25 18:50:16 +0000 UTCIntiface, which is the buttplug.io client for IRL toys has started triggering bitdefender for no reason lately. I haven't updated intiface for many months, so it's a false positive

2022-12-18 08:36:01 +0000 UTCI wish Garret could have a canine dick in the bathroom, like it is possible in the other rooms. Can you please add this setting? Thank you!

2022-12-17 09:44:57 +0000 UTCI had an idea for a new set if there is plans for one. Use a pool area just outside the gym area, which could bring its own unique poses, like maybe eating out someone who's floating in the pool or mounting them against a cabana/juice bar set item. It plays into the gym and shower sets too, and the bedroom, like the entire location is a resort or fitness club with rental rooms. I realize this would require a lot of work, but hopefully it gives some ideas for future expansions.

2022-12-17 05:45:00 +0000 UTCIts good. There does need to be a full body seated play mode with a button to kneel. There isn't really away to ride for example. At least, not that I can find.

2022-12-16 19:45:46 +0000 UTCJust one bug/safeguard I wanted to point out from the last time I went into Heat (no pun intended>w>) I somehow managed to clip myself through the floor and kept falling, couldn't even utilize the menus properly, and apparently kept falling forever, as evidenced by the hands slowly getting all wibbly-wobbly as space-time disintegrated in the face of floating-point errors, presumably. Not sure. Maybe it would be a good idea to have zones or planes outside or at the very least below the map that reset the player back in-bounds? Might even just be some sorta "y-position < -N" check, I'm guessing, no idea. :) PS: Happy holidays, Heat Team!
