Sorry for the long time without any updates, but it has taken time to get to a conclusion and it is hard to write this. We have been struggling to find ways to get forward, but all have ended at a brick wall. This has finally killed our motivation and we have taken some time off to find some renewed inspiration. This has been our pet project for 5 years and we have achieved quite a bit, but so many things need to be solved before we will be able to get to what we want. We have tried to rethink some of the key features and started from ground up and tried different approaches, but every effort to make something new has ended up being too difficult to implement or just failed. We have to realize that we're simply not clever enough to come up with any good solutions. The project will lie dormant until we hopefully some day come up with some new ideas on to how to solve some of the challenges.

Update
We have been working and studying a lot, but without a lot of success so far.

We have been exploring machine learning for animation, based on the many scientific papers on the subject like: https://xbpeng.github.io/projects/DeepMimic/index.html and others. We have spent a lot of time trying to repeat some of the results to make a physical rag doll imitate an animation sequence while keeping balance, but the results so far have been discouraging. The video shows the beginning of training, then after a few hours and after a day. It is very time consuming to tweak parameters and waiting days to see the results. So far we haven't achieved much more than some drunken zombies. This technology will probably be available for everybody in the future, but for now we're on our own. We will keep on trying for a while, but we may have to give up at some point and find a different approach.

We have also been working on a system to automatically scale clothes to fit any girl at runtime, so we don't need to fit every dress and store it for each girl. We have hoped to be able to make this into a release with a variety of new clothes and it has been working to some extent, but not good enough to make a release. The video shows some of the problems, but it is more obvious in VR. We will have to get back to this some other time.

While waiting for the machine leaning to progress, we have started to work on some soft body physics.

Announcement
We have reached a point, where it has become increasingly difficult to create new features on a monthly basis. Our code base have become cluttered and the fundamental technologies insufficient for the things we want to do. We think that we have achieved at lot with our unplanned and exploitative approach, but several features we have been working on, have been given up, because it turned out to be impossible to get it to work. It is time to take a step back and reconsider the fundamentals and to refactor things from ground up. We're struggling with clunky animations, unstable and wobbly physics, a code base built on top of inefficient assets and a lack of planning.
We want to take some time to work on clothing, soft body physics, fluids, facial expressions, body features, animation, control and more.
We need to upgrade the graphics engine and again look at DOTS and the Havoc physics engine, if it is stable enough or maybe even make our own physics. We are in the realm of cutting edge technology and we need time to explore new possibilities. This is a hobby project, and we still have our day time jobs, but we will spend all the time we can to reach for our dreams.
We will no longer make monthly releases, but only occasionally if we have achieved something significant. A very big thank you to all our subscribers for the support you have been giving us over the years, we would never have come this far without you. We hope you will continue your support through the next stage of the project, but if you don't have the patience, please just unsubscribe and drop in later to check on our progress.

We have found a trashy street girl for you with the name Tracy. Please welcome her and treat her in a nice deviant way.
The girls can now sit down on a chair. When the girl is standing in front of a chair, just give her a push back to make her sit.

Release 2022_08_19
Dr. Deviant invites you in his own private apartment. Choose the old hospital environment by unchecking the "Go to apartment" option in the start menu. We have also made it so, that it is no longer possible to walk right through the walls.
