LoveMachine 3.11

Added 2023-06-20 22:11:40 +0000 UTC

This release focuses on Koikatsu/KKS.

Studio

The Studio plugin has been fine-tuned to make full use of complex animation tracking. While still not perfect, it responds much better than it used to.

(Scene is from here, if anyone knows who the author is, please tell me so I can credit them.)

⚠ Devices won't do anything until you run the whole Timeline animation at least once. (By the way, this is true for any animation in any other game too, only those animations are very short, so you probably didn't notice.)

Main game

The plugin for the main game now accounts for animation blending by keeping track of two blend states (as opposed to previous versions, which simply removed animation blending, as an optional feature). This means you can now enjoy the original animations without sacrificing immersion. It also means LoveMachine will no longer interfere with any of the games supported by it. It is 100% only an observer.

After testing it on a few positions, this new feature seems pretty solid. However, if the motion feels off to you, you can try disabling Track Animation Blending in Plugin Settings (also please tell me so I can look into it).

You may notice your device skipping a stroke around the start of the animation. That is the expected behavior when Track Animation Blending is turned on, and it can't be helped. It will only happen once, at the beginning, so I hope it doesn't detract that much from the experience.
