[Vampire+ Release] Version 0.22.0

Hello everyone, Corintio here!

This month we've been working behind the curtains on a lot of content that is not ready to show yet. But some of them are the new town next to Kalysakh's temple, optimisations on the character's skin and the addition of tattoos and scars. We'll come back to talk about that once everything is ready.

The highlights of today's patch are improvements in the quality of life in the game, the new body shape and a new branch in one of our cutscenes. So here it is:

Version 0.22.0

Fixes

• Fixed Kalyskah's breasts popping out of her chest in the main menu;
• Controls will now be properly saved\loaded when you customise them.

• Fixed the line in the speech Kalyskah gives to her acolytes that was causing an infinite loop on the quest;

Enhancements

• General improvements on the level design, lights and performance;

• Change male and female body shapes. Not every character has been converted yet, and once everything is done, we'll add a slider in the character customisation window for you to change Kalyskah's muscle volume and intensity;

This change made Kalyskah's eyes behave a bit awkward sometimes but we'll fix it on the next patch, together with other texture improvements.

• New Acolyte clothes for both male and female characters;
• Dialogue options that were already chosen will be grey or not be displayed at all;

• Improvements on Natasha's eyebrows;
• Changed Laver's default clothes;
• Updated the leather armour giving it fewer variations on chest pieces so the detail she wears on her shoulder is on another inventory slot. This change can't be seen in the game yet, since the bandits won't drop all the pieces for now.
• Some clothes will now have a Push-Up effect on top of the cleavage effect for large breasts;
• Tweaks on the level to make doors of the temple open on the new areas that players should be able to go;

Features

• New room on the temple: Kalyskah's playroom. It will function similarly to how the puppeteers used to work after you unlocked their quest. NPCs will tie themselves to devices and be interactable, or Kaly can tie herself in and be intractable. Later we'll add some more features and dialogues there.

• A new character, Kaida, and Kalyskah has the option to use her as a subject for a friendly demonstration to her acolytes *wink* *wink*

New options on the settings for you to better customise how to play the game:

• Added Setting for FOV (Field of View)
• Added Setting for Motion Blur
• Toggle for camera smoothing
• Added an option to activate Nvidia DLSS

The Deep Learning Super Sampling feature might give some players a boost in performance. But make sure your video card drivers are up to date so it works correctly. Also, it might create some visual artifacts on the skybox depending on your settings, we are investigating why this can happen sometimes.
