Heat 0.4.9.2 Milestone - Better Posing, Character Posession
🕑 Added 2023-04-28 17:31:55 +0000 UTCThis month we've improving a feature that has needed some work. Custom posing should now be more intuitive and much more powerful. We've added some much requested features like finger posing, and now you can freely pose any fixed pose!
We've also added the ability to possess any character at any time! This works similar to the old duo possess system, except now you can control their hands. This is particularly useful if you want to pose a character topping the player. Now make the pose, get the action started, and possess the bottom!
To highlight these new features, we've added a new Emmy/Garret duo meant specifically for possession, animated by someone you may know, Twitchy! This is a long animation with multiple stages that can be advanced separately, that should look pretty good from their perspective when possessing them :3c.
We've significantly updated the mod tools. The tools can found in the mods channel on Discord.
Check out the full changes below and please provide feedback in Discord! Thank you everyone for your continued support of Heat! Your support allows this game to exist!

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
- 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)

finally, an update for the bottoms!! there were only one or two positions that would kind of work previously, definitely gonna try this out :3

Kissing with a muzzle is a very difficult thing to animate, and would probably require a special animation for every character pair. We might attempt it in the future, but it's just a huge amount of animation.

No way y’all got twitchyanimations to do poses for you? That’s awesome
KozakDerg
I wonder, will there be a feature in the future where you can make 2 characters make out with each other? Like it works the same way as a character sucking off another one. Being a 2D voyeur myself, it would be a nice feature. uwu
