As discussed in the progress update, this release adds the visual equipment system, as well as improved compatibility for liquid FX if you already previewed it in the $10 release last week.
The visual equipment system sets the stage for new equipment visuals once we add new outfit models. There are features however that can be seen right away however, including persistently damaged/destroyed clothes after certain H scenes, the ability to repair damaged clothes at shops, and the ability to remove the player character's clothes on demand.
In addition, we've added a new Spider Cavern map that you can check out via a test mission on the world map, as well as an early version of FemCop's 3x Vioreaper scene along with greatly improved loop animations + physics for Onyx's 3x Vioreaper scene.
There are also new combat/animation fixes since last week's release, so please check the full changelog out below!
A warning regarding the visual equipment system: removing Onyx's shoes doesn't yet visually remove them. We first have to work through a rig upgrade for this in order to account for the difference in shoe vs bare foot height.
Changelog
(** indicates items added since the January 24 Inner Circle test release. The following is only a list of player-facing changes, unless otherwise noted):
- ** Added early version of FemCop w/ 3x Vioreaper H scene
- ** Added Spider Cavern map and associated test mission to the world map
- ** Added post H scene liquid FX compatibility to the visual equipment system
- ** Added more liquid FX meshes for compatibility with nude / jacket-less Onyx
- ** Turn animations no longer eat enemies' attack windup animations
- ** Enemy footwork code rewritten to play nicer with turning system; fixes most remaining visual issues.
- ** Enemies no longer slide along ground when turning to walk out of idle.
- ** Wraxe no longer skips his turning animation after some attacks.
- ** Turning no longer interrupts Wraxe's summon ability.
- ** Fixed issue where environment damage would enable turning system on actors that spawned with turning disabled
- ** Thug and Runt once again play their correct bystander animations
- Greatly improved + added physics to Onyx w/ 3x Vioreaper H scene loops
- Fixed issue with two of the Vioreapers swapping positions mid Onyx w/ 3x Vioreaper scene
- Added missing SFX to outro of Onyx and FemCop's 1x Vioreaper H scene outro.
- Added first iteration of visual equipment system; compatible with adult content filtering.
- Equipping/unequipping gear now adds/removes the model to/from Onyx.
- Clothing damage from H scenes is now persistent.
- Onyx can repair destroyed equipment at shops. Currently combat does not damage equipment -- only specific H scene events.
- Inventory is disabled during H scenes or when player is K.O. (this will be improved in the future).
- First Aid Kits can no longer be used when at full health.
- Fixed health calculation issue that caused Reatomizer to incorrectly heal all HP.
- Animation events that are skipped via the Skip Animation or Skip Scene functions may now still be calculated as if they were witnessed in real time. Currently only enabled for clothing damage events in H scenes.
Known Issues
Here are the newest/most relevant known issues.
- Charger not playing turn animation after most attacks
- Ugly environment collision interactions possible on the Spider Caverns map
- Wraxe will still perform his shorts pull animation during H scene even if Onyx has no shorts on.
- Onyx's visual equipment state isn't updated on the world map.
- Some visual glitches involving the new traps.
- Barrels are apparently still able to spawn inside each other.
- Player character downed animation post H scene is currently not playing in Gallery, nor are secondary idle animations.
- Some new occurrences of enemies walking in place.
- Charger may slide around if stunned at a very specific time.
- Sounds are improperly playing during loading currently.
- Destructible objects don't receive environment lighting or cast reflections yet.
- Vioreapers are extra buzzy at the moment (even while knocked down).
- It's possible to make Onyx invisible through some combination of opening console / enabling God Mode while Onyx is flashing due to respawning
- Blocky shading artifacts appear on both FemCop and Onyx if they are covered in liquid while lit by FemCop's forcefield. This is due to a shader conflict with the newly optimized liquid and the lighting technique used for the forcefield. We're working on a fix ^-^.
- Larva/Crawlers (and Vioreapers too) currently use humanoid bystander behaviors.
- Crawlers' spit attack has a splash AoE where the projectile lands, but FX graphics aren't in for it yet, so it can appear as if Onyx is hit by nothing if she's standing nearby a landing spitball.
- FemCop's force field doesn't emit light properly when the scene is mirrored.
- It's possible for FemCop's forcefield to spawn on top of bystander enemies.
- At minimum zoom, you can see the incoming/outgoing Ball Drone used in the Runt's section of the Chain Splicer H scene before it's meant to appear.
- Some of Wraxe's combat FX need to be updated to work with new animations. Some may display as being rotated improperly or slightly out of position.
- Charger's hitbox shifts slightly after he charges. If he charges repeatedly this shift can add up to be significant. It will soon correct itself however.
- Liquid won't show on Onyx during the Thug's solo H scene. This will be fixed soon.
- The liquid spurt FX on one of the Thug's H scene finishers sometimes doesn't play. We're aware of the cause and seeing if it pops up anywhere else before fixing it.
- Infinite jabs are way overpowered against bosses right now. Jab spam will be changed to a standing combo soon-ish (among other combat improvements).
- Street Lord Wraxe sometimes blocks the view of H scenes with his big fat wraxe when he's a bystander.
Console Commands
The game isn't balanced that great yet, so some people have asked if there are ways to bypass bosses or get some help. You can use console commands for this while the game is still rough around the edges. Press the ` (backtick/tilde) key to open the console. Type any of the commands below and press enter. Press ` again to close the console.
- godmode on/off - Makes Onyx indestructible and impervious to Exhaustion.
- onepunchmode on/off - Gives Onyx the ability to kill anything with one attack.
- setwave # - Sets the enemy wave to the number specified. Changes will not be reflected in enemies until the current wave is wiped out. If you want to fight Street Lord Wraxe, who spawns on Wave 20, then set the wave to 19 and wipe out the remaining enemies.
- setgamespeed # - Multiplies the game speed by the number specified.
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Currently only Windows 7/8/10 are supported. We plan on adding additional platforms if there is a demand. 8 GB of RAM and at least a 2GB graphics card are heavily recommended. If you get poor performance please let us know and post your system specs (or send to eromancergames@gmail.com ); we’re still in the early stages of gauging system requirements.
CONTROLS (UPDATED 9-24-22)
Keyboard:
- Walk = Arrow Keys
- Dash = Double tap + hold Left or Right, or Hold L Analog Stick
- Menu Controls: Confirm = Z, Cancel = X
- Interact / Pick Up = C
- Jab = Z

Currently Supported Controllers: Xbox 360, Xbox One, Dual Shock 4. PS5 DualSense
**Note** The popular community made DS4 Windows drivers cause Unity to recognize a DualShock controller as an Xbox gamepad, and we can't tell them apart in code. This means that you'll be gifted with the untold joy of having your controller mapped by default with the wrong controls. You can fix it by rebinding the PS4 controller map, or removing the DS4 Windows drivers. (The latter is HARD, a simple uninstall isn't going to be enough)

If you find a bug we haven’t listed in our known issues, please post the following with your description of the bug.
- Operating System (if Windows, tell us 7/8/10, etc.)

Thanks you
I've heard reports that it works on Steam Deck using Proton :D
0123456789
My next question is. Does it work a program called proton? It is a program steam made so games on Windows can work with Linux
0123456789
I have a steam deck and runs on linux.
Currently we only have a Windows build, but we are looking at Mac/Linux builds in the future.

Does it work with Linux?

I really enjoy the game. Do you intend to bring in some voice actors, to give the characters a voice?
Hey :D, can you give some additional details and send your log files to eromancergames@gmail.com? They are located at: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Eromancer\pure-onyx At what point / in what way does it fail to load?
In September we had to reset the gallery, so if you had played previously that would be why it's reset. You don't actually have to keep the old versions -- the gallery save storage is in AppData
Bobby M.
If you keep previous versions of the game you won't need to re-unlock after every patch, even though they may reset once in a while. The test level seems to be the best place for gallery grind.

for some reason the new update wont load on my pc
montipont
is it me or is the game grindier now? Getting all the scenes seems to take much longer. Maybe now would be a good time to introduce an unlock gallery command since I've basically unlocked them all in previous versions
Cammay
@hnasu I think that is a quite good idea. Such mechanics would reward skill and imho would be a great addition to the game play formula. I'm sure Eromancer will figure out cool stuff :)

Congratulations on this! Love the visual equipment system! I am reporting a bug I experienced where Onyx just freezes randomly in the idle pose. Can't punch, kick, dodge or block. The enemies are moving, the game isn't frozen, I can go into the menu. I can swap equipment, come back and she is still frozen, the only way out of this is when the enemy attacks and she gets hit and then it's back to normal. It happened about 7 times so far, and it didn't happen in previous releases.

^^ That being said, progress carries over (at least it did for me) so if you have all other scenes unlocked, you should only have to worry about the new (FemCop 3x Vibroreaper (sorry for spelling) ) scene
Sent a PM :D

We're looking at ways to incorporate H scenes for other characters into gameplay ^-^. They will definitely be used in background scenes at the least.

Google link works -- it just complains that it can't show a preview. Download button shows up beneath it though. Is it a location issue maybe? If so I can figure something else out for you.
Tom Ace
Mega is slow asf and the google drive link is no longer working. Please add a new google link.
Have to download the entire thing unfortunately :(
Do i need to download the whole game for new version again or can i update the game via an intern updater?
no
I’m so hype the clothes are unequipable, you have no idea
hnasu
Great work with the update! Probably a dumb idea but would be cool if these other h scenes could happen during missions as well. For example, if you dodge a vioreaper h attack and they hit and capture a fem cop instead.
Cereliona
Regarding the animations for the other characters (like Femcop x Wraxe etc.), are you planning on eventually adding them to the main gameplay in some form or are those going to stay gallery only?
