Heat 0.3.3.2 Milestone - IRL toy integration, Riley/Atlas duo, new music
🕑 Added 2021-12-20 23:56:42 +0000 UTCThe long awaited IRL toy integration has arrived! The testers have reported that it's working, although Windows Defender or other antiviruses may interfere. Toys that can stroke kinda work but not quite ready yet, I gotta buy one to test properly with. We use buttplug io for the integration and it should support most devices. Check out iostindex.com for the full list!
To use it, simply have a connected device and insert any phallus into the penetrable toy. It'll vibrate harder the deeper it is, or the faster it goes, based on what mode you set it to in the options. It works well when attached to waist with the boy's thrusting poses, or with thrust enabled in the glory holes ;) It will also trigger when sticking toys into characters or in the duo poses. You can turn it off in the options, of course.
We've also added a Riley/Atlas duo pose where our twink is right where he belongs. This pose is our first duo pose to have a climax animation. Enjoy!
Additionally we've added a new up-beat music track to the gym by Anthemics! Let me know what you think about this track, I'm not sure if it's too distracting for a game like Heat.
I'll be taking the last couple weeks off for the holidays; a break I desperately need and the first time off I've had since last year's holidays. I'll still be around for support and such, of course. January will start off running with our new programmer joining the team!
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!
How to run Heat(Remember you need SteamVR to run the game in VR, and 7zip(recommended) or WinRAR to unpack it.)
New Patrons: Patreon is really slow at the beginning of the month and may take a few hours to acknowledge you're a patron for the authentication. Patreon is not updating a handful of user's pages and is failing to auth even after a long time. If you can't auth, try relogging into Patreon. If it still doesn't work, go into your Patreon profile and change any setting, such as your Patreon name or pledge privacy setting to force Patreon to update your profile. The auth should work after that. If it doesn't message me on Discord or Patreon.

Oculus/Index:
- B: Menu
- A: Radial Menu
- Thumbstick press: Kiss/Lick
- Left Joystick: Move
- Right Joystick: Rotate/Teleport
- Trigger whilst holding toy: Shoot

I've completely run out of buttons on this thing so you may need to customize the controls in the SteamVR overlay. If you have any suggestion on how best to bind everything, let me know on Discord please.
- That weird button close to the pad: Menu

- Bottom of touchpad: Kiss/Lick
- Left Touchpad: Move
- Sides of Right Touchpad: Rotate

WMR
WMR controls change depending on the model, and some actions may be unbound entirely. You can see/edit your bindings by going to the settings in the SteamVR overlay and adjust the bindings and add any missing actions there.
For 2D:
- ESC: Close/move menu
- WASD: Move
- Q/E or Ctrl/Space: Move up and Down
- TAB: Open Radial Menu

The 2D interactions are still experimental and limited, but hopefully still enjoyable :)
Changelog
Changelog 0.3.3.2 Milestone
- Add checkbox to radial menu toy selection to make it clearer that it's a button
- Fix Riley's pose 8 mouth radial
- Fix issue with toy integration not connecting to some toys
Changelog 0.3.3.1
- Add toy integration to character holes, so if you stick toys in them your irl toy will vibrate. Good for thrusting into them!
- Add toy integration to penetrative duo poses- they'll vibrate in time with the character's thrusts so when you posses a character's it a lot more immersive ;)
- fixed some things to improve Atlas/Riley anim
Changelog 0.3.3.0
- Atlas/Riley animated duo pose
- IRL toy integration with buttplug.io
- Allow teleporting onto Marina
- New gym music
- Make marina's jumbo eyes a touch smaller
- Update Unity
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)
- Your hand can crumple up if both hands go to touch the same thing for the first time. To fix this just move both hands away from the character for a bit and it should stop happening
- 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.
- Running the game as admin
- Re-downloading and re-extracting the game. The download getting corrupted is surprisingly common
- Make sure an antivirus isn't messing with Heat
- Adding the game as a non-steam game then running from within SteamVR (if not working in VR)
- Reinstall/validate SteamVR
- Update video drivers
- Clicking on the game window with your mouse when the game is open then putting on your VR headset (if the laser doesn't work)
- Make sure the game isn't installed within any folders that have winky faces or other unusual characters in them
- Restart the game

The next character will be plantigrade
OuterSider
From their update pattern, it seems soon. If they don't celebrate lunar new year, which I do.
Alex
Do you know when we should expect the next update?
OuterSider
Sounds awesome, thank you very much for replying. I will definitely stick around, this game is quite spacial, as well I like the art style and surface material and texture on character models, made everything look so nice in quality. Look forward to the future updates.
Edef
Yeah plantigrade feet is something I've been wanting but hasn't worked out for various reason. We'll try to get future characters to have plantigrade feet
OuterSider
Just found this game today, and damn, a VR game where player can kiss, lick and suck and leave wet marks on character's body? As well head pet, face pet and nose tap then character gives reactions? And character's toes even curl up for certain reactions. I don't see those a lot out there for playing VR for so many years, very good works, very immersive. I am pretty sure it is a lot to ask (also may quite unpopular in furry community), but it would be awesome for me if there is an option to change characters' feet model to be more human-ish, like the style of their hands. Well, this just reminded me of khajiit, and now I wish for a feline girl character too..
Edef
You don't need intiface, it's already built in. Just have heat on and your toy on and it should work
I have an issue with my Intiface client not connecting to the game at all, I use intiface version 27.0.0 works with other games. or do i need a completely different client?
Perhaps they went on a holiday break and continued to work just now, or perhaps they are preparing to release something great
Caliburn 1995
15.01 and still no update? Is everything all right guys?
Pt Foxy
im still learning about vr myself, but that makes sense, what about a 2 player option? is that a possibility? i cant think of a better way to catch up with long distance friends, can you?
Edef
The characters will never move the player around because that a one way ticket to vomit-town in VR. Otherwise yes we obviously want to make them more dynamic, but it requires an insane amount of animation work
Edef
That's planned yes
Edef
no, but we might do something with the hand poses to make fingering and other stuff easier
Pt Foxy
Are there any plans to have the characters interact more? like grabbing at you pulling pushing you, maybe climbing on top of you etc?
Ms.Jacksonbrown
So having played it in VR. I have a few Qualms. The controlls are confusing. Like I had a hard time even selecting a character. Then some stuff I could not interact with. I will chalk most of it up to my being very new to vr.
rugarou
I would like to see multiple toys of the same type, and we really should be able to pull thier hair... cuz reasons ;) Are there any plans to make the bodies have morphs? I.E. be able to change hair colors, boobs n butt size etc?
rugarou
in addition, oculus is a software, it applies to several VR headsets that dont function the same. when seeking help it is beneficial to state which "oculus" device you are using. for example quest2 you need to use link cable or airlink, at which point you may be having an issue where a device needs to rebooted or in the case of airlink there may be a pin number you need to activate. heat doesnt play natively on the quest 1/2 it needs a PC to run.
Would it be possible to add an option/control to adjust how far your fingers are spread apart (abduction/adduction)?
Edef
Use the messaging system or preferably join the Discord for support
Hey, I'm on oculus and when i launch the game it just goes to a grey screen and it like shakes and stuff. idk what to do.
Edef
yes
Sean081
Is there a plan to release this on steam?
Edef
Link your discord with Patreon and you'll automatically be invited
Whatβs the discord link??
Pyromaster
I just bought one specifically for this so I hope so
Hell yeah !. thanks for the reply
Carl
Oh, I see. I wasn't able to find that spot, so I didn't think it was there. Base of tail just seemed more natural for me to grab, lol
Freddy Jay
My Kiiroo Keon works well with this. only issue is that the feedback in inverted so when you thrust in the game you pull out IRL.
Freddy Jay
the vibration will work fine, not sure about the inflation though.
Edef
Ah I see, maybe yeah. You can currently grab the side of their hips to move them around, but it can be a bit tricky to find the spot.
Carl
Sweet, glad to hear. Tails can be a little floppy, but easy enough to swing out of the way. I was more talking being able to adjust the position of the butt (using the base of the tail as a handle) to account for a height/position mismatch, since sometimes the character feels a little high for me.
Edef
Yes modding support will be added closer to full release
Edef
Yup that's planned, we know tails get in the way too much
Carl
Nice content so far. I'd like to make a suggestion to help with fluidity though, being able to grab the base of the character's tail when against the wall or over the bed, and be able to move their rear's position. It would help for height/position compensation (or being a little rougher).
Hey i was wondering if in the future you guys were planning to add a feature for people to add their own 3d models to the game with something like VRM or something similar
Justin cowdrey
Does anybody know how well the Lovense Max 2 would work for the toy integration
Edef
Hold right click to rotate
Is there a way to rotate the camera in 2d?
Edef
I'm glad you like it! but nope, we have a long list of things to work on already
Edef
You can teleport with the right stick on your controller
Edef
Can't promise it but it's something we're going to look at down the road
I just bought a quest 2 and would love if this had standalone support down the road!
Justin
The one small complaint I had especially in the gym was the slow walking pace!
namanish
Wow! This is my first experience with the game and its cool enough in 2D! I'm going to setup my VR headset to try the game as designed. I have a few suggestions for features in the game too, do you have a feedback box?
Edef
Yes we've heard the requests. It's a lot more complicated than just slapping a vagina on a model
So are we not getting it a toggle to switch naughty bits cause I'm a little annoyed there's only two characters with pussies and four of them with dicks. I'm just saying a switch would be nice for Marina. I just want a little more I don't know variety.
Michial astreal fosteral
Hay the game is real cool awesome work being done here. hope to see some new characters soon. If it keeps getting better ill up my tier level for more support for this. Works great on the quest 2 via steam link
Insanity CORP
That's work thank you nice uptade by the way
Edef
Try the solutions at the bottom of the post, redownloading being #1. Message me if they don't work
Insanity CORP
I dowload the new version and my game don't want to open
Effective_Detective
Did a test run with the missus, and we're really liking where this is going. We were kinda wishing there was a way a second HMD could be hooked up to the scene, her being on one character and I on another, vibing together. What'd also be neat is to hook up with someone over the net to have some fun encounters, driving each other's vibes. Pie in the sky dreams, but nice to think about.
Freddy Jay
100% agree
anonnymousspacething
*checks vibes for compatibility* WoAh
namanish
Yes, according to IoST (link in post) it is has Buttplug.io support so it should work.
namanish
Just wanted to leave a recommendation for any dick-havers looking to buy an interactive toy to use with HEAT, don't jump straight to the Kiiroo Onyx because it is well known, there is a newer product from Kiiroo named Keon that, for a similar price to the Onyx includes a removable fleshlite-style stroker a longer battery life and lighter body. Watch this comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHDFNXPWri8
Does this build have edge 2 support or no?
Edef
Yes
SpiritusKitsune
Does Lovense work with this?
