New build is live — valmora (Patreon)

Hey everyone,

Big build this time. New areas, a full stealth system, a major pass on the Adult Animation Framework, plus a long list of fixes. Let's get into it.

Stealth is hereCrouch now works for your followers too, not just you. Sneaking reduces the noise you make, and if you get behind an enemy while crouched, you can pull off an instant stealth execution (bosses and elites are immune, for obvious reasons). We also added an experimental "nudge" so followers stop blocking you in doorways and corridors. Still tuning this one, let us know how it feels.

New places to exploreMain Bandit's Camp is on the map. We added roads through the forests so they're actually navigable, and shared storage chests are in.

Combat got some loveEnemies (goblins, wolves, bears, bandits) run better during fights thanks to new performance optimizations. Wolves move smoother when attacking, and there's a new enemy in town: the Archer Bandit.

Adult Animation Framework — big updateThis got a lot of attention this build:

Penis and testicles physics — took forever to tune, but we're happy with it

Undress/Dress commands now work correctly

Fixed animation alignment and post-scene rotation bugs

New UI with clearer icons

Free camera control during scenes (WASD/QE) plus free orbit (F)

Smoother drone camera, especially zoom

EXPERIMENTAL: scene interactions with objects, starting with the Table

Expanded the underlying prop/interaction system as a whole

Fixes & smaller stuffCrash on save fixed, NPCs no longer spawn without equipment after loading, horse interactions no longer trigger false dialogue bugs, Gwen's quest is fixed, doors got reworked with proper open/close sounds, and there's a new interactive tutorial replacing the old text planes in the cave. Also added character rotation in the Character Creator (RMB) and gave merchants some starting gold so they're actually useful.

There's more for Archduke supporters, a new special follower just dropped. Take a look: [LINK DLC POST]

And Shadow Lord and above already have the full new release waiting: [LINK PRIVATE POST]
