Hey,

I want to open this month with a bad news regarding the In Heat pack, so we can focus on the good news after this.

Story time(This is not an excuse, but an explanation)I often browse SFMLab, hunting for models. A few months ago the In Heat pack appeared, and since it was suggested on discord, I downloaded the pack and added it to the character bucket. I also made some tests with one character to make sure it works.Althought the pack was not declared winner initially, I decided to declare 4 runner ups as winners too - among them was the In Heat pack.Since I knew animating a pack will take longer, and I had very little time to work on animations at that time, I animated the other winners first. After that, I took a look on the pack again, but the source files were deleted accidentally. No worries, time to visit SFMLab.And I just could not find the pack anywhere."That's weird. But I guess I remembered the pack's name wrong. Oh well, there are many animations to make anyway." The issue crossed my mind occasionally, but every time when i tried to find the model pack, I failed.I took a look on the pack again today. Could not find anything. Again.Until I saw that the model pack is available for purchase on MonsterBox's site. So I bought the pack. Finally, I have the models again. But then I read the readme file. And oh no...

Well, shit.

So it look's like there is no way to add them to the game currently. And because of me delaying the issue, I like to apologise for making a promise I can't keep.Of course, if they lift this restriction(Or I get permission somehow), they can be added eventually. Until then, I hope the new contents in the near future will make up for this fuckup I made.

NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS

Christmas is coming, so this months release will be available on 22th the latest.Deathclaw and Meowscarada will be animated, alongside with 2 surprise release, and potentially some mini releases.Christmas themed main menu will be included in patch 1.9.1.No new feature can be expected, but some small extension for existing ones and bugfixes.New scenes will be released, and a few voice packs, since I overdue with them again.

That's all for now, stay tuned for some WIP posts in a week or two!

This might be a blessing in disguise, as much as I like the InHeat characters apparently they are notoriously hard to animate with. Dont stress about it!

It is unfortunate for the In Heat Pack, but I wouldn't blame you for it, nothing to do with you, it's them. Hopefully the restrictions will disappear but don't blame yourself. :)

I think it's probably because MonsterBox doesn't have the rights to the models in the first place. Aren't the ones in that game made by someone else? Should they even be able to sell the models?

I can ask kekitopu, the creator,but he puts all available models on his gumroad page.

Buying the models legitimately should be treated as a license for use in any project. If you don't want people to profit off your models do not offer them up for sale. Simple as.

I would suggest messaging Smugs on the MonsterBox discord. They seem like a nice person.

is a bit bad if you cant use the models. :/ but i have look by my self and finde another Renamon Model with no hint on the read me file to not use it for Profit on SFMLab. if it is possible i would love to see this in one of your updates :D https://sfmlab.com/project/32956/

This model is already in the game, and just received 2 new animations

in heat used 2 batches of models, yes they used cryptia's models but switched quite awhile back, so, its really about finding out which models are in fact being used. if the models in question were cryptia's then they "should" be usable by anyone, if they are the new ones then it would be on smugs and his ppl.

rugarou

thats completely not true. this would be the exact difference between a personal use, commercial, and distribution license.

SabitaUsagi ~ Ø'Harë Communications

Still that's pretty shitty then. Unless the price for the models is real low, to say personal use only and be selling rather than giving away freely. Under those terms that would mean a creator couldn't have a Patreon and make an animation with the model even if the animation is shared freely.

SabitaUsagi ~ Ø'Harë Communications

Well if it were Cryptia's models then the In Heat team wouldn't have the right to sell share them anyhow. And it would make the most sense to just buy them from Cryptia.
