Heat 0.5.7.1 Milestone (hotfixed) - Riley dialogue, Suckable Atlas, Atlas Reindeer skin, optimizations
🕑 Added 2023-12-16 00:15:53 +0000 UTCEDIT: Hotfixed grab issue, atlas posing, and vertex performance
Say hello to a festive Atlas reindeer skin. He's got a big present for you~ We've set it to default for the holidays!
Our bratty fox is getting dialogue! He's been a bad boy, so make sure to put him in his place~. He's voiced by Lance Hall!
We've also, finally, made Atlas suckable by other characters. We can add the hours this took to the ~40+ hour tally that we've specifically had to spend on Atlas' cock over the years, cuz he's just so damn big.
We've also significantly reduced the game's filesize (and VRAM usage) by reducing the size of some textures that didn't need to be so large. The visual quality loss should be imperceptible.
For those who don't know, we take the last 2 weeks of December off every year for some much needed rest and recuperation. As a result the milestone is earlier this month!
I hope everyone has great holidays! We'll see you next year!
Thank you all patrons for your support. Anthro Heat couldn't exist without you!

Known Issues
Laser might not register with UI sometimes, possible fixes are: Game restart, by setting the game window to focus by clicking on it, or by alt-tabbing (let me know if this still happens, I may have fixed it)
Browser doesn't launch when hitting authenticate, or refuses to connect: Try running in admin mode or setting a different browser to default temporarily
Common Solutions to Game Issues
These are common solutions to many problems, ranging from the tongue not spawning to the game not launching in VR, or the game not authenticating. Try these out first if you're having issues, they work surprisingly often. If they don't work, message me and I'll be glad to help.
All issues (try these first):
Right click on verifyintegrity.ps1 and select 'Run with PowerShell' to validate your files. If this fails, redownload the game. The download got corrupted.
Make sure the game isn't installed within any folders that have winky faces or other unusual characters in them at any part in the path. This includes characters from other languages.
Webroot, and rarely other antiviruses falsely flag the game and will delete its files without telling you anything. Make sure they don't do that
Restart the game and your computer
Auth issues:
If you have a localhost error in your browser, press the auth trouble button below the authenticate button and follow the directions exactly.
Check "use alternate port" below the authenticate button
Run the game as admin
Make sure an antivirus isn't messing with Heat
Make sure game is let through firewall
Set a different browser to default temporarily
Disable adblocker temporarily
Disable any security that could prevent your computer from opening a socket and accepting a connection temporarily
VR issues:
Adding the game as a non-steam game then running from within SteamVR (if not working in VR)
Press P to switch to 2D mode and L to switch to VR mode on your keyboard
If your hands don't work, reset SteamVR bindings for the game. If you can't do this, launch the game from the .exe, not from the Steam shortcut
If you're using Oculus and the game doesn't launch in VR, launch SteamVR and sit in it for about 30 seconds then run the game from within SteamVR
Reinstall/validate SteamVR and Oculus software
Update video drivers
Clicking on the game window with your mouse when the game is open then putting on your VR headset (if the UI laser doesn't work)
Make sure the game isn't installed within any folders that have winky faces or other unusual characters in them at any part in the path. This includes characters from other languages.

You half to grab it and use X/R to control yaw and R/F for pitch I think. It's a bit difficult and I wish it would work full body
only just manage to sub about an hour ago, anyway i can actually download it without having to use MEGA?, its giving me hundreds of reasons why it wont download even though ive got enough space to download it about 10 times
Edef
That's one of the things the 2d version can't do very well I'm afraid
My Feet
Dose anyone know how to use the spanking tools in the 2d version
Langsterj
The glory hole door knob doesn't work, I can grab onto it but it doesn't open
Edef
Try the mirror link instead
Scracher_LP

Fluxthewolfaroo
I know you can go into the pc security and go to block/ allow files, and then go to quarantine and hit restore the heat one in webroot.

DAT REINDEER SKIN THO <3

Riley is probably my favorite character now haha, looking forward to more voices for other characters in the future, specifically garret
Nicky Delgado
Lance Hall? I don't think I am familiar with that VA yet. Who are they?
Edef
You can already change the size of the characters
Sir Julius Blackwood
Will there ever be more macro stuff coming ?Like changing character size or macro interactions?
Avian
Oof, that's unfortunate. I've had the program for years and it never messed with the game until recently. Hopefully they'll fix that up soon.
Jonas Lotze
if you release on steam, please still reease the download link here ^^" in germany we cant have any nsfw steam games
SillyFeline
any eta on when you can be a character with a knot? or is that possible through modding?

Hey, minor thing with Reindeer Atlas for the future. When you kiss him, you can see the top of his eyes through his eyelids in certain angles.
Edef
I tested on my end and it works, fine, unless it's character or pose or location specific in which case again I need way more info. If they all don't work, try redownloading
Edef
yup
Valan
When you are using keyboard you usually hit 'tab' to pull up the menu for things to do with your selected partner depending on the pose they are in. Well, this time when I picked the dildo (horse), it would just snap back to where it was at the start of the game instead of doing anything, like I'd hit 'reset toys' when I never hit that.
Edef
You'll have to be more specific cause I have no idea what you mean
Avian
I can confirm that it is. Hit that nail on the head right there. I’m guessing that’s been a consistent issue with them for a while?
Valan
Hey, the toys for anal fun when using keyboard aren't acting on their own anymore when I select them. It just returns them back to where they are at the start of the game.
Joseph Goldthorp
Ah, i'm figuring out the Free-Posing. I'd shut it off because it was being hilarious when i hit it by accident. Thanks!!
Joseph Goldthorp
How do we do that?
Ivan Opal
hehe funny reindeer :3 Also can you pleeassee add dialogue for garret, he would be 200% sexier if he could speak :D
Edef
Yes, webroot falsely flags the game, and no we can't fix it unless webroot gets it's shit together. If you can confirm for me that it's webroot I'll try submitting it to them so they can stop flagging the game.
Avian
Hey, my security software is reading files in the game as malware. Has this been happening to anyone else, and will there be a fix for this anytime soon?
Spring Trap
Reindeer Atlas is HOT! Also so glad the optimizations came in! Been having a little trouble with some characters and the new cabin location slowing the game to a stutter sometimes.
K4RN4GE911
You guys just never miss! Have a holly jolly one and see you in the new year!
Lurkybot3k
We can finally have the others blow Atlas!? This truly is the greatest gift!
Edef
Nope

Thank you so much! Have a fantastic break!
Pyromaster
Do you guys have a time window plan for the steam release? Just curious
Edef
Yep he'll stay available

God I hope so, he looks so good!

That reindeer model is amazing! Do we get to keep it, even if it isn't Christmas?
Mozaic
Nice. Good job. Hope to see this game continue into the future.
Sevenmolt
Well alright, this will be fun. And of course you guys should take break, that just makes sense. Enjoy your holidays guys and good job so far in the game too
