[Vampire+ Release] Version 0.24a

Added 2023-11-30 22:44:13 +0000 UTC

Hello everyone, Corintio here!

Today I want to bring to our patrons the initial push on the new content we are adding for you to explore in the world. We also have finished the improvements to the library. So here's the changelog!

Edit: I just released a small fix to the college's collision

Fixes

Set some of the levels on the right streaming distance and layer. This was supposed to improve the performance but something is happening with the AI that is making this not very noticeable;
Fixed NPCs that were wrongly being tracked by quests (Like some on Kalyskah's playroom that were being tracked as if they were Alvina);
After you finish talking with the most important characters from Kalyskah's legion, including Usula, the new NPC, the Slice of Unlife quest will go to the next step, which isn't implemented yet but at least now this will be written in the description;
Fixed posts that weren't turning on next to the arena;
Fixed an error that was making players unable to skip cutscenes that didn't have a dialogue;
Fixed Amara's door sometimes not being properly interactable during slice unlife quest;

Enhancements

Foliage detail around the college.
Redone Michael's library and the whole area around it;

Improved translucent glass material for the windows;
Improved underwater shader with water distortion;
Improved the Docks

Added a throne on Kalyskah's temple, later we'll add interactions on it;
General improvements in Materials and the way they work with our weather system;
Made Seekers more OP than they were in the Legacy version, so they can be a challenge to prologue Kalyskah;
Gerrard, the student that Brooke shouts at and that Kalyskah can engage in an NSFW scene during her speech, will now have a unique look;
Raptor now glow on hit;

Features

Added a new NPC: Ursula, created by our patron Jaken. She comes with a new activity where depending on your replies (and luck) vampire hunters can spawn at Kalyskah's temple;
New Activity: Kalyskah finds a woman being robbed in the woods;
New Activity: Brooke tells Kalyskah that one of her students is missing. The missing student will change depending on whether or not you make the NSFW path on Brooke's speech from this patch forward;
Kalyskah will now speak when she approaches Gremmnoch;
Added some prisoners to Kalyskah's temple. They are randomly generated when you load your save and the lower her Compassion level, the higher the chance of her having prisoners;
New Seekers spell Holy Teleport. The vampire hunter teleports to where Kalyskah is;
Added a new animation to play when Kalyskah bites an enemy from behind. Preparing the ground for later we add some sexy ones!
Checkpoints/Fast Travel are back! For now, we added three, one at the Arena, one at the Cloister and another on the farm far from the temple. We'll add more later;

Known issues:

I was having issues compiling the project to Vulkan and I had to disable it on this patch.
The game size increased slightly, but hopefully, the time it takes to load sublevels will decrease slightly too;
The FPS is extremely low at the temple, I suspect that it could be related to the NPC AI and you might notice that their animations will flicker in the distance. This is because I'm trying a bolder approach to mitigate the FPS issue until we make a more permanent solution.
