[Vampire+ Release] Version 0.30.2
Hello everyone!
This patch turned out simpler than it could have been because we didn't have time to finish all the systems we intended to complete before people went on recess, so we had to disable much of what we did. We'll come back to it next month and wrap up the work!
What remained were minor bug fixes, and with Shift + ', you can see the cheat screen. However, the cheat functions aren't implemented yet, as we've been setting up the C++ side. But next patch, they will!
Kalyskah 0.30.2 Patch Notes
Fixes
• Fixed Telekinesis sometimes leaving Kalyskah stuck with her hand held forward after using the power.
• Fixed the negotiation pop-up so it always stays interactable when guards confront Kalyskah.
• Fixed Mist Form input so the power now has a proper release trigger and no longer sticks.
• Fixed the main game UI blocking mouse clicks in other widgets.
• Fixed the weapon state hint so the on-screen text now correctly matches whether the weapon is sheathed or unsheathed.
• Fixed Kalyskah and NPCs not correctly updating their standing and relaxed postures during dialogues (This bug was introduced on the last patch, but we fixed it now)
• Fixed guards being treated as essential NPCs so they can now be killed as intended.
• Fixed clothing tags that were incorrectly all set to “pet collar” so outfits now use the correct tags again.
• Fixed multiple dungeon cutscenes so they now play correctly with Kalyskah properly displaying on them (Another bug introduced on the latest patch that we fixed)
Cheats and testing tools
All of the following things are on the backend for now. You can open the cheat menu but we disabled it since it's not ready for release yet. Still, tto gie you an idea of what cheats will be available on the next release, here it goes!
• Added the interface for enabling God Mode and Infinite Stamina cheats, plus direct health and stamina change cheats. But right now they don't work yet.
• Added stamina cheats for both infinite stamina and setting specific stamina values.
• Added the ability to initialise blood points from the Cheat Manager.
• Added cheats to freeze the sky and to freeze time for testing.
• Added a single activation function and an Apply button so cheat changes only take effect after you confirm them.
• Added a new delegate that broadcasts when cheats are activated or deactivated so blueprints can react to specific cheats. (toggled off for now)
Gameplay and systems
• Improved the Hands Tied state again and resolved remaining edge cases, so the restraint state now behaves consistently in play.
• Tweaked the way the game detects which dice system is active so guard negotiations and related rolls should now work more reliably.
• Fixed an issue where threesome animations could try to start with only two characters.
• Renamed the “Purity” tendency attribute to “Modesty” to better match what the value represents.
• Updated clothing roleplay tags in the journal so they refresh as you change Kalyskah’s outfit and clearly show how each outfit affects the dice system.
• In safe-for-work builds, Kalyskah now remains dressed during toysystem scenes.
• Bounty and Notoriety will now be saved, so it remains consistent if you reload the game.
World, levels and performance
• Added the Village Castle Sewers level to the Prologue area, but it is not available to the public yet. Later, we'll make it so that when Kalyskah is in jail, she can escape through the sewers.
• Refactored Default Scalability settings for clearer tiers, a better Lumen baseline and hopefully better performance.
• Updated Prologue open world level assets again to reflect the new scalability and level structure.
• Slightly rearranged a few world assets to better suit the new layouts and performance targets.
Other Enhancements
• Improved Kalyskah’s glowing eye effect during dialogue so it reads more clearly and she stays with them glowing for longer.
• Added lipsync and additional body language to Kalyskah’s guard negotiation scenes to make the conversations feel more alive.
