What's New on TVS Beta 42
🕑 Added 2024-11-10 12:55:33 +0000 UTCHey! Hope you’re enjoying Beta 42 so far! Just a heads-up, we’ve identified a few minor issues, and we’ll be pushing a hotfix soon. In the meantime, here’s a quick overview of the major features added in this version!
The Auto-Dematerializer
This device is available on the Armchair and, for now, also through the cheat options. It’s perfect for removing any piece of clothing on demand, especially handy in those sexy dance scenes where costumes might get in the way.
New Costumes
We’ve added some new items! You’ll find new outfits for the automata, along with a pair of wings and an advanced tail. We also added a few additional DNA Sliders as well as a full Undo Feature for the Character Creator.
Serum and Tank Saving Freezer

You can now store your precious serums and any milking tank with valuable ingredients you plan to use later. Take a look and let us know what you think!
Dalphine's Laughting VO by Auris Valara
We have finally added Dalphine's laughting loops performed by the talented Auris Valara.
Hero POV Camera

We’ve added a new Hero perspective camera to the secondary display cameras. Now, you can see everything from the Hero’s point of view!
While this secondary camera is still a cheat option in development, we plan to make it part of the main game soon.
Plus a tons of bug fixes and improvements, we always say each version is the most stable, but after our Steam Demo release, we’ve spent a lot of time fixing bugs. Without a doubt, Beta 42 is our best version yet!

I just miss knowing what each serum did... that was my favorite part of the game, kinda killed it for me. My favorite thing is to have a full cabinet of serums and run them through the gauntlet.... now I gotta go make each one by one and write down what color corresponds to what serum. Why?!?!

What happened to the upcoming Steam version's page? did valve take down the page for some reason? :(
CaseyAEC
Great update. Issue: I don't see labels for the vials, or figure out how to use hero mode. Help!

What is the new cheat code?
Hello There

Will there be a feature to prioritize dialogue during gameplay? I noticed when using the machine to overstimulate a hero on the denial serum, there are a lot of subtitles for the reactions, but they never get to use the voice lines, since the other SFX seems to override the voice line. Thanks for this fantastic game by the way, this is one hell of an experience in VR.
ZnelArts Game Dev
thanks, we will investigate
ZnelArts Game Dev
Hi, thanks for the nice words. More vanilla content will eventually added, however there wont be different environments. About Tiffany, we are actually removing that character for the reasons you mention, Beta 42 is the last version where she will be available.
ZnelArts Game Dev
Hello, The whole game is set in the lab.
ZnelArts Game Dev
We will investigate, thanks

Would you be able to join me on Discord and report this on the bugs channel, I would like to investigate this

New here, sorry if this is already mentioned, but.. There's a wonky interaction if you grab the paddle off the automation machine then swap machines. Every time a machine is swapped the paddle gets "returned" to it's original position and drops to the ground, even after hitting it with the dematerializer.

In my case i have to slide the steam vr controller layout to custom. Then rebuild the entire control scheme to be exactly the same as the default layout. Then it will load
Scraggles
I think I'm having the same issue. I get black screened saying there's an issue with the bindings.
Scraggles
Playing quest 3 PCVR via Steam. I have the .IO key, that version works fine. When I downloaded this new version It tells me there's something wrong with the key bindings and I am unable to fix.

so sillyu question, i am stuck at mission 1 task 1. it's supposed to give me a minute to test all interactions but it's less then 10 seconds and then it kills me for failing to discover interactions.. is this a bug?
Zackarie Adkins
Yup still not working properly. Did a clean sweep and a fresh install. Was able to atleast start the tutorial but once i select the test subject for the first time nothing but issues. Frame rate drops to 0 constantly loading bugged avatars. And once this happens its permanant. Cannot go back and skip tutorial
Mirrazone
Hi, I can only seem to find the lab, but reading some of this there's an actual game? How do you get to it?
ZnelArts Game Dev
Try that because those errors can cascade and cause w hole bunch of problems. Delete the folder in Users//AppData/LocalLow/ZnelArts/TheVillainSimulator note that the AppData folder may be hidden so you need to set windows to show hidden folders
Zackarie Adkins
One thing i did notice is that it keeps trying to import a custom character from way back that it says is incompatable. Maybe i can try and delete that but i cant find the folder for it
Zackarie Adkins
I did do that. I have done everything up to factory reseting my computer which i am not willing to do
ZnelArts Game Dev
It is compatible with Quest 3, I use it myself. There must be something with your setup. Try uninstalling SteamVR completely and restarting your computer
Zackarie Adkins
at this point, i am concluding that this is just not compatible with quest 3. after the last 4 hours of making sure everything is updated, downloading deleting and redownloading, even the demo on steam does not work with quest 3. and yes i went through the trouble shooting wiki 7 times
ZnelArts Game Dev
This is normal, game always starts in the desktop and then you can start VR Mode from the main menu
ZnelArts Game Dev
Should work fine, check if any of this helps https://the-villain-sim.fandom.com/wiki/VR_Help#Check_the_official_SteamVR_Bindings_are_being_used
Jean Cul
Same problem here. Impossible to start this game properly. It goes the same with the steam demo too: Steam VR tries to start it like a regular game, and it just start on my computer screen, not on the quest 3
Zackarie Adkins
can some one tell me if this works with quest 3? i have been trying for days now to get this to work and it just doesn't seem to be happening, i checked the control bindings and everything is correct but the game won't load at all unless i use the custom bindings tab in steam vr. then when it does finally load, the frame rate is so low i can't do anything except stand there, on the rare chances i don't get slow frame rates the MC's body parts are flying everywhere as if he were trying to be Luffy from one piece

Joined the Patreon after playing the demo on steam, really amazing framework here. Would honestly like some more “vanilla” features as well. Maybe a difficulty slider of some sort when starting the game? Or just a sandbox mode where everything is unlocked all the time. The dance feature is really nice but a bit buggy, would be nice to have different environments like bedrooms/living rooms and instead of the different machines just have the women pose like lay on the bed etc. Also just wanted to say I love the Tiffany character and other gaming outfits, just be very careful with copyright and what not. Getting the game on steam might be trickier if you are using things like the nier automata outfit and what not, would hate to see any legal trouble over a fun nsfw game
Mirrazone
Is there a way of making the serums look physical? For example, if you inject the "orgasm intensifier" she becomes more violent, eyes dilate if injected with "instant arousal" or her nipples and boobs start swelling and leaking when you inject the "lactation serum"? More options on clothes would be nice too along with moving the breasts apart as on some of the larger settings as they squash together. But absolutely love the game so far
Mirrazone
If you use the dematerialiser from the chair on exiting, originally clothed parts of the body, vanish
Midnighttoker412
You should make it co-op that would be interesting 😏
Hahsh Majk
can we have some more longer hairstyles pls
guiding killik
Costum toys and tools would be fun
Airbourn Heaux
This is really dope. A lot of great additions.
Allen Harris
Is the "Hero" perspective cam a perspective you can take in 1st person on VR? Like...how does that work? Someone would have to work the villain at the same time. (lol guess I know what I'm doing tonight)
Dreadly
Freezer QoL addition.... *Chefs Kiss*
Dark Urge
