Lucid Lust v0.5.6 for Supporters (Windows, Mac, and Linux) (Patreon)

Hello everyone, and happy anniversary to the project! 2 years of full-time work already!

LUCID LUST NOW HAS AN OFFICIAL WEBSITE!

YES! LUCIDLUST.NET is now live for all Lucid Lust enjoyers!

I've been working on the website on the side for the past two months. It still needs some work, but all major features should work perfectly now. You can share and download character cards, and in the future, all kinds of cards (clothes, outfits, etc.)! You can create an account, take a look around, and start sharing. Just keep in mind that only cards made with v0.5.6 or newer are supported, due to the big haircuts revamp.

Please join the party! I can’t wait to see what characters you’re all cooking. I’ll also be posting my own characters from time to time whenever I take a short break between hours of hard work on the project haha!

Now for the new version!

Supporter Versions (Windows, Mac, Linux) SUPPORTER ONLY POST

As promised...

LUCID MALES ARE NOW SPAWNABLE! As for the girl, I've now added a character spawn button for the male without any limit to the Scenario Creator sidebar. Thanks to the new animation system introduced previously, males now fully support the same animations, IK, and FK components as girls.

NEW ANIMATIONS! To celebrate instantiable males, I've added new animations, including sexual ones with two distinct role types. This way, you can see your characters going at it haha!

HAIRCUT OVERALL! The haircut system has been reworked in a lot of ways, but mainly to allow the haircuts to be shared across character types! To accompany this new system, I've fixed some previous haircuts and added 30 new ones for a total of 60 haircuts! All compatible with girls, males, and any future character style!

UPGRADED MAC VERSION SUPPORT! All new macOS versions should now fully work (finally!), and the .dmg should also be smaller haha!

And a lot of other things, but that's what a changelog is for. You can also consult this changelog and all past changelogs on the website!

v0.5.6 CHANGELOG
