True Facials v0.5 - Technical Test release!
🕑 Added 2024-06-16 21:52:14 +0000 UTCHello everyone,
True Facials v0.5 is coming together. As it's a big update, and this Technical Test are meant to help us identify and fix major problems before the full release. Please help us to report cases of crashes, bugs and performance issues.
Please note that this test:
Contains only one scene and 3 characters.
Half of the first story chapter (ever).
Several premade poses.
While all features should be working, they are not fully dialed in. There are some designs like UI and controls in particular that are bound to change to improve the experience. Your feedback is most appreciated.
On the first boot, the game will start in the Tutorial chapter of the story. In subsequent boots, you will start in Free Mode.
Version 0.5 comes with many new features and redesigns. I'm very excited for you to experience them, as there are some that has never been done before, in any game!
Free-Posing
Facial expressions are fully posable, including jaw, lips, eyelids, brows and more.
Character's eyes are posable to look at any part of another character. Or you can right click to focus on the viewer.
Fingers are also posable with a simple drag to create many gestures.
You can hold Alt to highlight posable body part, and hover over them for tooltips.
Hips rotation is posable, and very sexy.
You can now control hands and elbows much more naturally, and place them onto any surfaces.
Dynamic handjob by simply dragging a hand onto a penis, yes characters can also jerk themselves off.
Feet are fully posable with natural knee controls. Can be placed on any surface, with proper toe bending and even in high heels.
Reworked penis control to support multiple characters. Drag and hold a penis onto a surface and right click to ejaculate, or simply left click on it.
Some controls have a secondary mode by holding Ctrl, such as face controls.
Completely rewritten system, which should allow us to add any kind of interactions if we can understand how it work and how to control it.
Character Selection
No limit of how many characters you can have in your scene, as long as your PC can handle it.
Any character can be swapped with a new character in the library at any time and keeping any interactions.
Any character can wear any others' outfit in the library at any time. The effective number of combinations are ridiculous.
Any two charaters in the scene can swap places instantly.
Characters can be removed from the scene, if they're not interacting with anyone.
Saving Poses/Scenes
Scenes can be saved at any time, and can be loaded as a pose for current characters or fully.
By default, you only load the pose from a saved scene, enable “Load Entire Scene” mode to load the entire scene instead.
The save consists of a text file and a screenshot in the "Captures" folder. You can share these very easily, and use them with the Story system below.
Story system
True Facials now always run with a story script, including Free Mode.
Each story has its own folder in the “/Mods/Scripts” folder.
Scenes can be saved directly into the "Poses" subfolder of the current story, and then loaded by the script.
The game auto-generate an empty sound file for each character’s lines into the "Voice" folder. You only need to replace it with the real voice file.
The voice file has the same as the line and can be sorted by Creation Date.
We also auto-generate a text file that contain the lines in the story, to be recorded or generated by AI.
Characters will lipsync any of their voiced lines automatically with any expressions.
The markup language is custom built to TF's needs while referencing other visual novel systems like Ren'py and Ink. That means Lua logic can be fully used along with our own syntax to direct what happens.
We support nested and branching dialogues and logic. Notably, reactions to events is one of the core features, and they are very easy to write.
For this test release, we don't yet have a comprehensive guide on it. Our own Story Mode’s script files are available for references, and we can provide support on Patreon and Discord if needed.
NOTE: This is a huge undertaking and not yet in a matured state. We expect the ease of use to improve over time as more work is put in.
Others
Complete rendering overhaul.
All female characters can have a penis, toggle it in Character Settings tab.
Fluid simulation is fully adapted to work with the new rendering system.
Improved jiggling physics for breasts and ass.
Improved penis model, with interactive foreskin and better physics.
Many, many more...
Hotkeys
Number 1 to 5: Toggle menu tabs.
[~] - Toggle last selected menu.
[F5] - Save current scene.
[F9] - Start recording gameplay, hit F9 again to stop.
[F11] - Capture screenshot.
[H] - Pause game, except the camera.
Known issues
The game is pretty heavy on the GPU, especially if you're playing in high resolution. If you're on a laptop, there might be throttling issues.
CPU load increases the more characters are in a scene.
While some part of the UI and controls are working great, some can be clunky or confusing.
Collision issues can make some animation jerky or clip through.
We have not had enough time dedicated to female genital customizations, a real pain point.
Male characters are not present right now.
Some visual problems on characters' bodies are expected.
Due to the massive amount of changes it's not really possible to present them well here. We'll try to highlight them individually in the future so you can get the most out of them.
Ideally, you should not have to know any of this to enjoy True Facials. We try our best to provide an intuitive experience, but UI design is a huge challenge on its own. Over time and with your feedback, they will become better.
Thank you for reading, I hope you'll enjoy this and the full release!
Henry.

Hello again Henry I have been following you for a very long time and have been supporting your project for just as long But have you thought about improving the previous version? for example, add characters, mods, add new physics I really like the previous version of true facials, and it would be great to see updates in it, think about it, a lot of people speak well about this part, saying that there are no analogues to it, and if you continue to develop this version, it will undoubtedly become the best game in this industry

Yes, mod characters from v0.42 and previous versions are no longer supported in v0.5TT and future releases. Rest assured, we are working on migrating all the old casts with new versions. They will be gradually added in the next update.

Will any of the gumroad mod characters work with the new version, or are they no longer supported?

強大的功能 期望持續更新腳色

Just some thoughts, praise, and constructive criticism/wishes. Graphics and lighting are GENERALLY great!! A menu for controlling it would be phenomenal however. I ran into an issue where slightly zooming away would cause the entire room's lighting to change. Menus are a mixed bag. I can't seem to hide the 4 icons on the left? Having to see icons you're not even using is a bit disappointing, having no way to just toggle the whole thing. (If there is, please tell me!) I like the look overall, but some more options are desperately needed. I really love the save scene feature!! Something that the last version needed bad if you ask me. Lack of characters is a shame. Especially no males. I know they're coming though, just a bummer for now. That said... The succubus is hot! On the topic of characters: I would like to see ball size be it's own slider, instead of only being determined by the penis size. Pubes don't seem to really work properly most of the time. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong or not there. Handjobs can be really glitchy sometimes, especially with hands/arms clipping through breasts. I know positioning can alleviate this, but it can be really challenging to get scenes set up from an angle you want due to that. Kinda major issue as well, when trying to start a handjob, characters often do it at angles that either clip heavily or cause violent shaking at insane speeds, resulting in hands getting stuck in lower torsos/hip areas, being REALLY tricky to get out! I had to scrap a character that was set up the way I wanted already because of that. I've noticed that based on where the camera is, it will influence the direction of the handjob. A more 'gentle' way of changing it without accidentally grabbing legs or whatever would be great. A 'control' mode or something? Not sure. Would love that to be looked at! Otherwise, really great addition! Looks phenomenal with the new foreskins, pretty next level if you ask me. Aiming the penis can be really awkward. And again, need a control for changing aspects with that. Circum/uncirm, ect.... Really wish the cum controls were as good as the previous version. Looking forward to that functionality, mostly the "force" option! The current value is pretty realistic I guess, but this is a game so whatever! I really liked that slider in the previous version. Map is pretty nice. Not too hard to get character's unstuck if that happens. Excited to see what is made as far as the environment goes. Sound is pretty good overall, I'm excited for (hopefully) more dialogue, as well as options and controls for it. Would really really be interested in character customization, such as hair color, eye color, nails color, skin color, makeup.... Not sure how well this game could do those things, but I'd like to see em! It's great to see you back, tried your demo way back and have had a ton of fun with it. Good enough for me to wanna support you on the project. I'm really looking forward to what you do next. Keep it up!!!!

Agreed. I'm super excited!! I'm bummed there's a vastly smaller amount of characters ATM, the lack of males too.

Welcome back buddy, I already thought that the game was abandoned, glad to see you and your work again
NuclearPenguin
There aren't many things that will bring me back to patreon, you are one of them. Welcome back man, you always bring quality and this drop is no different.
SupMyDude
It's not currently in this version. He said it's coming in future patches. Hopefully they come soon!
SupMyDude
I get it @cyberdildonics.. But hear me out... No one else is making anything like this. Maybe encouragement would be the better way to keep him around working on this for us. It's niche, so I assume the people here are also niche people. There isn't anything else that comes close. (giggidy) Hopefully he's back to stay and we're going to see some real creativity and exciting new features. I just subbed. Been on the fence since I saw that the game appeared abandoned, but now that he's back, I will support further development. I totally understand people being raw about 2 years with no news and still charging. I'm hopeful he's going to get his grind on to make it right for us. I've been doing the same with VAM. V1 hasn't been updated in a long ass time. V2 is a ways off, and we haven't had a demo of V2 in almost a year I believe. So I get it. However, this is a really niche industry. These devs aren't getting AAA money to make it fast and mediocre. As a result, you either get overpriced asset flip garbage, or you get expensive but very interested and good content. I'm hoping for the latter, and I'm voting with my money. Let's gooooo!!! Welcome back, and I look forward to further development. I will likely up my sub if I see a lot of updates and feel more confident.
Cyberdildonics
So let me get this straight. You disappear for two years, without stopping Patreon payments, and return with this expecting people to just be OK with the fact that you vanished and kept charging your patrons since March of 2022? You should be ashamed of yourself.
