The Villain Simulator Beta 44.1

BimBamBoom

Running on Quest 3 via airgpu, virtual desktop and steamvr. The desktop homescreen turns up fine, excellent FPS, looks great. Difficult to find a way to click VR Mode but sometimes with some virtual desktop gamepad trickery, I managed it. Other times it just refused to do that for reasons I don't understand ... But even then I get a screen saying "if there are any steamvr issues, click the button below for help", and a big button reading "Binding Help". When I cick that button it opens a wiki page that says the wiki for this has been closed. I did sometimes get a screen saying "take the headset off", which I did and then put it back on. And saw a button saying to click the trigger ... but then no amount of trigger clicking or putting the headset off or on helped. So ... frustrating because really airgpu is a great way to do pcvr in general. And I I wonder what that wiki page used to say?

Heyo! I'm having a lot of issues getting the game to run in VR. In desktop mode it works perfectly at max settings, but in VR it lags to single FPS while throwing Null errors, until eventually it crashes or freezes. I've tried downgrading to previous versions all the way to v41 with the same results. I'm using a Meta Quest 3s and SteamVR, cable link. I have an i7-10700KF and RTX 3070Ti, 32GB of RAM and the game is on an NVME SSD.

How can i "update" version on itch.io? I have only v41 avalible to download

Ethan Frye

The Download wont work :/

TheWachowski

I love beta 44. Bare hand healing is the highlight for me. I actually only have one wish left: that my entire progress (including wounds) is saved when I quit the game, so I can continue at exactly the same point next time.

TheWachowski

This is a PC game. You can't play it just with your Quest. Beta 44 isn't available for MacOS yet, but if you scroll down you can download beta 41 for MacOS.

Miguel

Hi how do i download directly onto my quest, i thought there was mac support..

ZnelArts Game Dev

Tifa has never been in the game

Derek Shook

Was Tifa removed from the game? Can't find an option to select her.

Erect Gummy

#Feature_Request Can we have a bit of a storyline on like hunt down the subject before keeping them in the vault for our experiments

Astro

Will this game support fbt for vr?

Gabriel St-Pierre

nvm just saw where to download them

Gabriel St-Pierre

there is only 4 characters ？

ZnelArts Game Dev

Thank you!! Yeah I like heels, will look into it!

ZnelArts Game Dev

Hello, we dont have more story missions for now, there are some bonus missions you can do on the Wheel Machine an Foxy's Intro. You can also complete objectives that you can check in the objectives console

Leonne Rose

Hi I'm a bit confused how to continue the tutorial? After finishing the two missions for glados there was a dialogue about that being all that's available in this version of the game, I tried unlocking everything with cheats, that works still, am I missing something obvious or is this an error? I just found this game the other day, but it looked from the videos like there should be missions/quests/more than the tutorial to unlock things?

Brute Force

Hi! Excellent job! I'm a fan since BETA 27. None the less I'd like to ask for a wider variety of heels for the heroines - the Bunny Shoes and Boots Like Heels are ok but there's a craving for more :)

Hi

I played a pirated copy of your game that I obtained from another source. I found the quality to be excellent, so I came here specifically to purchase the legitimate version. I hope you continue to do great work. I would also appreciate it if you considered introducing characters designed with Asian beauty standards in mind.

Hi

我从其他地方玩到了您的盗版传播。 发现质量非常优秀，特地前来购买正版。 希望您继续加油，同时也希望您可以尝试推出亚洲面孔审美的角色。

Not Sure

Check the description. What you suggest wouldn't be allowed on any platform.

Daniel Norman

Load her in Character editor and save her as a custom and you can get her back

CrazyLurker

I downloaded it fine from dropbox. File download started immediately, no external websites. Sounds like you are technologically challenged and wanna blame the dev.

yahsoo

Were the options relocated? I'm looking at the gameplay menu right now and it's not there. I just took screenshots from both 44 and 43 if it helps you troubleshoot if this is an unintended removal, but the invert options are definitely not there in 44.

ZnelArts Game Dev

Hi, 44 also has those options, we did not remove them.

yahsoo

Is there a reason you removed numerous options under gameplay? 43 finally had the option to invert mouse Y axis, 44 now doesn't have that option any more.

ZnelArts Game Dev

The engine we use is not fully compatible with the new m chips, it only works well with the intel based macs. We do not have an estimate on when we will build for mac again.

anonymouse63

Why did you stop supporting the Mac version? Do you have an estimate of when / for which version you will go back to supporting Mac?

Paul Mav

This hasn't been working for me for some time and no change with new version, I have oculus 2 and an i9 with 32gb ram and a RX2070 and it loads fine on the laptop but the VR is just unresponsive when it connects to it

t3h0th3r

yeah wondered about this as well

Shawn

Znel has fixed it. If you download from the MEGA link again, you'll get the fixed version. From there, go to the settings, gameplay, activate CnC Mode.

Shawn

Thank you

Harlock123

Is Tifa/Tifany supossed to be gone from the character selection?

beretta2024

What does dehydration serum do？

ZnelArts Game Dev

Sorry about that, Patreon posts is a terrible place to track issues and often it hides comments. Please join us on Discord where we provide better support. CnC Mode is still there, just pushed a fix on the Mega download link. Normal map import has been fixed in beta 44 Cheers

Shawn

What you're recognizing is CnC mode. It used to be the default in older betas but eventually they changed to this aroused default and turned the old default into a mode in the settings that could be activated. For some reason, in this beta, CnC isn't there, and I don't know why because Znel hasn't answered me either.

Shawn

Are you ignoring me for a reason? 43 released with a bug where custom normal maps wouldn't apply correctly, a bug that's been present in several other betas too, and I've asked about this in several of those versions and never got any answer or support, and now you've seemingly removed an entire feature without mentioning it and once again you're not answering me. In fact, other than the most recent post in here, the only 2 posts you haven't reacted to at all are mine and someone else that seems to be noticing the same thing. This is an actual support question about your game that we're helping to finance for you on here. I'm not getting support. Did you remove this feature entirely? All I want is to not be ignored like I don't matter, like we don't matter.

RichLeeHam

the metallic and gloss settings on the hero plastic catsuit never save when making a character

Glen

Love this game, man. The graphics are so good, I wish more people would develop VR games with NPCs and characters this detailed.

Glen

I don't know what you are smoking. I do NOT pay for Mega and was able to download Beta 44 no problem.

Gipsy5

Well, I'll try again later.

ZnelArts Game Dev

Steam PCVR has been working fine since beta 1

BimBamBoom

A shame, but I guess I can warm up an emulator or virtual pc. Any progress on the steam pcvr version?

ZnelArts Game Dev

Maybe you can try downloading using a different network?

ZnelArts Game Dev

Mega is also working fine and is one of the hosting with best speed, if you are experiencing slow speed then is an indication that is something weird with your network settings. Also I have tested and it is not asking to open a membership since I am paying for 46TB of network traffic which only 29 had been used. Again, try reseting your cache.

ZnelArts Game Dev

Double verified, both dropbox links are working well. Try reseting your browser cache, a different browser or your network settings

Gipsy5

Mega can be used, but the download speed is too slow and there is a limit. You have to open a membership to do it. I don't want to use it.

Gipsy5

But when I downloaded v43 at that time, I could download it with dropbox. This time, the dropbox link clicked in and it showed an error.

ZnelArts Game Dev

Maybe your ISP is acting up, I asked other Patrons to help me test it and I tested myself with different VPN locations and they seem to be good. It has to be something on your end.

Gipsy5

i tried，it didn't work

Gipsy5

idk too，i used Chrome

ZnelArts Game Dev

Is out of the scope for now

ZnelArts Game Dev

You can create it with the Fabrikator

ZnelArts Game Dev

To avoid anybody stumbling upon the link to have access to it

Colton Stith

do you know what browser people are using?

ZnelArts Game Dev

They to be working fine, try a different browser, check your network settings.

ZnelArts Game Dev

Checked it and it seems to be working fine, try a different browser

ZnelArts Game Dev

I already pay 5 services for traffic so you should be able to download it from those links. Try different browser

ZnelArts Game Dev

Thats not quite right, I already pay 5 services for traffic so you should be able to download it from those links. Try different browser

Colton Stith

cool so we got scammed?

Gipsy5

all three links cant be used only mega and pcloud can be used but you need a monthly fee to download them

Gipsy5

now that you sponsor the game,you still have to pay money to open your network disk to download it, right?

Gipsy5

sync didnt work too

Colton Stith

yeah idk how to install the game it doesnt work

Gipsy5

dropbox link didnt work

wintermute

Arousal is at 0 but all characters are playing aroused voicelines, is that intentional? If fear gets high they'll stop. I remember it not being like that before and they were neutral/afraid when you first load in

Andrey39ro

Why are there passwords?

TheVeganKiller

wheres the feather duster ?

Derpy

Would it be possible to make a quest standalone version? I know I said this before, but I'm guessing that wasn't seen because it was on an earlier post.

ZnelArts Game Dev

Hello. Unfortunately we will drop support for MacOS for some time, probably until we are closer to a final version we will be bringing it back to Mac.

BimBamBoom

Looking forward to the MacOS version.

Shawn

Is CnC mode supposed to be gone?

Gravemind29

Since there's a lot of superheroine themed elements in the game i just enjoy a little bit of a battle damage look. So that's why I've noticed that the whip seems very inconsistent and that the bruising was missing altogether (from the last update at least)

Wilson

Maybe I'm way too nice a guy for this kind of game, but bruising? And whipping? Didn't even know it was broken. Mind you, that's not to say I don't see any appeal in having my way, whether she likes it or not (bless video games for letting us live out our fantasies, and I wouldn't even be here...), but _deliberately_ hurting them just rubs me wrong. Like keying your own car, to paraphrase Jimmy Carr. edit: To each their own though. I don't judge as long as no one gets hurt (more than they want to)

Gravemind29

I swear I tried that haha but alright I'll see what's up. But hey no shade or anything the work is phenomenal man keep it up

ZnelArts Game Dev

Hello, all works as intended, you just need to hold click to hit harder. Cheers

Gravemind29

I won't be able to download and try until later but out of curiosity, is bruising back? And has whipping marks been fixed? I only ask because its been very inconsistent these past few updates. Like I have to stand at an angle for them to appear and sometimes they seem faded
