[Release] Neonate+ 0.12 and Public 0.11!
Added 2020-06-28 23:32:53 +0000 UTC
Hello everyone!
Corintio here, today we want to bring you the public release of version 0.11 and also the starting release of the new area for version 0.12. We are still working on content for this new area of the game and also on a new set of armour for you to find there, but for now, what we have there are new enemies and a new style of vegetation. The questline will be worked on the next month =)
Kalyskah version 0.12 - Neonate+ Tier

Fixes
- Moved checkpoint close to Merishya backwards so the player won't load on top the trigger box that starts her dialogue.
- Made that the dialogue only triggers if the player doesn’t have her quest yet. Which will prevent the dialogue to start every time the player tries to load the game.
Enhancements
- Improved Attribute descriptions so now you know what sorcery, charisma, etc will do.
- Improved broom location on the sweeping ground working stations
- New looping animations for the prostitutes
Features
- Kalyskah can now swim on the rivers and reach the other side of the forest. This area is under construction so although it has a nice environment and effects, it might still feel a little empty because we don’t have a questline there yet, but we are already working on it for the next month.
- New enemies on the new area of the map, but their animations, move set and audio will be improved during the next month.
Known issues
- The loading screen says “Version 0.11”, although the main menu says “Version 0.12”. I’ll fix this as soon as I can patch the game on my own PC.
- Some errors related to the health bar and camera perspective after a dialogue is finished have been reported on version 0.11, also a problem on the attributes being displayed on the items. We did not have time to fix it yet because of the many problems we had during the week related to the shaders, but it’s another thing I want to patch as soon as possible.
Version 0.11
We updated the game to Unreal 4.25, and it has been reported that with this update, it will no longer run in windows 7. Try it at your own risk.
Fixes
- Fixed crosshair being displayed on photo mode
- Temporary workaround: Disabled physics on the hairstyles that were causing glitches on the gallery
- Fixed invisible cursor when you pause the game
- Increased skin pore resolution on Merishya
- Fixing spots on pause menu that weren't turning black
- Fixed some holes on the level
- Fixed a function that sometimes were making Kalyskah emits a weird moaning sound when you arrived at Thulgata Oo’
- Improved the way the game sets the map you currently are when saving it, so this will probably end once and for all that annoying bug that always came back: The one that you would load back at the dungeon sometimes, even though you had already reached the open world.
Enhancements

- Improved some animations on the scene between Kalysakh and Henrysson
- Texture and material updates on level design
- Better rocks and cliffs on Thulgatha
- Improved rivers and lakes, eventually we might add a swimming system =)
- Improvements on the cliffs of the game and opened the view a lot more at the graveyard.
- Roof and indoor light fixes
- Improved facial expressions some of the erotic animations
- Better friendly combat AI: Merishya will now attack the characters that are attacking or targeting Kalyskah, not only the ones Kalyskah is targeting.
- Many improvements on the level design: Rivers, trees, rocks, grass, an herbalist hut that is under development, lights, etc. We are getting close to the day where we will enable the other side of the river to be playable.
- Days now lasts 96 minutes. But don’t worry, we are adding a way to fast forward in time: beds.
- Distance Fields on the level, which means better shadows when things are far away.
Features

- Added missionary animations with an interaction, kissing
- A new event will be happening in front of a house outside Milhaven. Kalyskah can intervene but the consequences for that scene will be released on a later patch this month.
- Merishya will now follow Kalysakh again. We are working on improving her behaviour and she wasn’t properly tested at the dungeon level, so she might be not working properly there. We ask for patience because the next patch will be focused on tying questlines together and once this is done, Merishya will finally behave when you reach the open world.
- New event on the world: Kalyskah can help a group of people that is being attacked by bandits on her way to Milhaven. It will trigger the Safe Haven quest, part of the main storyline. Notice that you need to do this quest before entering the actual city.
- New Questline: A City of Thieves. This is the main storyline and you’ll learn what happened with Kalysakh’s Blood Gem. Notice that the lipsync is a little out of place for some characters and that not every dialogue line had enough attention on the animations, we’ll improve them in time.
- We did several new dialogue animations, so now on some of those scenes, you’ll see that not everyone will be idle staring at you.
- Kalyskah can now sleep on a bed at Kelhold (I’ll learn where it is on the new questline) and also at Bouchard’s Tavern and Inn.
- Vulkan support: You can open the launcher on the game’s folder to switch between DirectX 11, 12 or Vulkan.
- Ilya Bouchard will greet you when you enter the tavern… Wait for her lines to be done before talking with Madame Bouchard otherwise, the subtitles will be overlapping. This will be fixed in the future. You’ll probably see a floating broom there… don’t mind it, it’s a work in progress!
For both versions:
- There is a launcher inside the game folder now, if you have a problem with directx12, you can use it to change the game to Directx11 =)
