Unity - Completed - Anthro Heat [v1.0.2] [Edef]

i am not even furry... and yet. this is great

and the voice acting is insane, i especially love jasper, victor, and garrett. the toy integration is great too, though i did not manage to make wevibe melt to connect.

...okay i might become a furry after this

Review for test version 1.0.2.



Overview
The best furry VR game there is. There’s a LOT to love, but there's also more than a few issues that create frustration.



Graphics and Sound
The game has beautiful visuals and character designs, with decent VA too. Bodies glisten from saliva, shoot out cum on command, lactate when stimulated, girls squirt, boys moan… fun for the entire family!

My only gripe with characters themselves is that they could use more dialogue. Also, clipping through a character’s face (when they have a large snout) becomes annoying.



Gameplay and Controls
Devs need to implement a dedicated “ascend” and “descend” button in VR (just assign it to either the AB or XY buttons since they mirror the same functions). Quite often, your character is too tall for your partner's BJ, vore, or sex positions. While there's an adjust in the menu, it doesn't help. Try sitting in a chair and attempt to have your partner physically ride your shaft, and you'll find your character's body is not sitting directly on the cushion (while in playerbody)... Instead, your body is clipped into the chair (even while sitting down IRL). An ascend button on the VR controllers would help position you on top of the cushion and hotdog snuggly into bun.

As it currently is, when chair-cowgirl is selected, the partner will simply hump the air while you sit underneath, and you have no way to insert into her with her on top because your penis and legs are within the cushion polygon models. This also goes for the bed... there's a way to position yourself on the mattress, but it's not intuitive and I personally forget how to even do it. Laying down on a physical bed IRL will produce frustrating results.

EDIT: Adding ascend or descend wouldn't help with sitting or laying down. I mapped the Quest/VR controls to adjust height of playerbody to the controller and it's still a mess when you attempt to sit in a chair properly and have your partner ride you cowgirl. There needs to be an easy way to automatically place yourself onto the seat cushion or bed. I haven't tried sitting on the bench in the gym, but I imagine it's just as borked.

The bathroom is completely jank as well, resulting in odd postures while you fuck someone in that tight space.

On the plus side… Kissing works great and is one feature it triumphs over the competition (in furry and non-furry games). Lean in for a kiss and the partner’s head will track yours, lean into you, and try to maintain the kiss. Attempt to suck a nipple, and your lips will automatically latch onto it. The downside is that the partner's body remains static and arms or hair twists and will sometimes remain in an odd position when a kiss is complete. If only their bodies embraced you with the same smart tracking.

While they’ve improved the ability to position your partner’s hands so they remain where you've placed them while they move (for instance, placing their hands on your chest will have the character grasping your chest as you both engage in sex movements), posing them still requires patience.



Interactivity
You can choose “Multiple” and select a scenario to your liking, if posing bodies isn’t something you want to be bothered with. The issue is that the matchups and particulars you want aren’t always available.

For example: Marina w/vagina is not available for doggy, only her missionary with Victor… and even in this bottom pose, she has a penis. Most of the time, she doms with a dick. If you want a match where she's hetero, sorry folks. There’s no horse match up of Atlas X Renee and sometimes posing a character/partner is a chore. I'm sure there's other match-ups missing too.

This leads to the biggest issue I have with this game: The game is sorely lacking NPC/Partners with agency or really movement, that do more than just hump in place. This becomes a bigger issue when you’re given a large location like the Beach zone, which is an open area with no real point to being an open area, it comes off as wasted potential… What I mean by this is… VR Hot lets the player issue commands to a partner, and that partner will walk to a location of the players choosing... and either perform an act or get in position for it.

Now... I hate comparing games VR Hot serves a different audience and is not dedicated to furries, and in turn, Anthro has no obligation to attempt to be VR Hot (Trust me... I get it) but those great characters of AH feel lacking without movements, ticks, sways, or actions to not only set them apart from one another, but to fulfil a gamer's wish in-game... and it's not really utilizing that space like it could be.

And it doesn't even need to be that sophisticated. As mentioned before, a few proximity based animations and movements (like for kissing) to swish a tail, turn a head, move their arms to your waist, would be a start (and yes, I understand heads do track genitalia as well, but it's not always reliable).



Overall…
GREAT furry game (the characters keep me interested),
but BASIC H game loop (due to lack of interaction and static characters).

I played the version v0.7.9.0 version of the game, haven't tried the newest version out just yet, but it's honestly one of the best VR porn games I've played. I've been actively keeping a close eye on the games development, and with the announcement of multiplayer being in the works, I'm confident in saying that the devs really care about the development and enjoyment of the game.

The Lovense and full-body tracking is really well made, including the models because WOW they're really nice to look at, (having Garret and Marina plow the ever loving hell out of me was absolutely the best moment I've had with the game, especially Garret, that knot looks absolutely delicious up-close), but since I don't have any external trackers for the best full-body experience, (I use a RIFT-S), I don't use it that often. Playing around with all the different models and they're cocks, including toys, has been very fun too, and hopefully we can jerk off our friends soon if multiplayer comes out any time soon!

3D furry model importer advertised as immersive but feels lacking

This is for the desktop version. The game consists of importing various furry models which are highly detailed into a sandbox environment. However the interactions are boring, like interacting with dolls. While I love the voice lines and reactions to touch from the player... The player has to do all the work with posing to get a good experience . There are preset animations which are helpful but why can't characters have any agency?

For example in the Gym, for characters to walk between exercise equipment and workout. Or in the hotel room, for the characters to walk between the bath and the bed, dry off etc. Have them do something in the environment that makes them feel like they're real entities.

If you want to be on the receiving end of a sexual interaction, it requires you picking a preset animation and posing them, boring, boner gone. The characters are incapable of initiating sex or doing anything really. It's entirely up to the player to do everything

Definitely one of the best sandboxes out there. I got a good deal of fun out of it when I lived alone, and though the novelty eventually wears off, good luck finding anything else out there with this degree of quality. It will probably always have *some* issues, but I'm not sure they could feasibly solved within the medium without some fundamental advances in technology. Overall, this one is probably worth tossing some Patreon money at if you feel like it.

While the furry stuff isn't what I'm here for, the general quality, liveliness of the characters and the variety of things to do definitely makes it probably the game I keep coming back to. I wish some game with human (good quality) models would ever exist. But I hope this one keeps delivering!

This game is, in my view, far ahead of anything else made for VR. Content-wise and visually this game just blows everything else out of the water. It's just unfortunate that the physics and other technical aspects of the game still seem to be quite clunky and buggy after years of trying out the new updates for it. Getting almost anything to function 100% as intended in this game ranges from impossible to a chore.

This is easily a top 3 VR game but its just so buggy right now.

Its hard to get characters to do what you want them to do without fiddiling with menus, toggling things on and off and restarts.

When its working its the most interactive and responsive VR game right now.

The devs just need to take like 6 months off to patch things. Otherwise they are going to run into technical debt that cannot be recovered from. But by the looks of things they may already be there.

After all this time, it's rather astounding how little has been added or improved. Desktop features are still horrendous, general animations tend to be very lackluster without personal intervention, and there are very few characters. More than it launched with? Yeah, sure. But still not a lot after so much time in the oven. After 5 years, you'd really expect more. Just like how I'd love to say more about pertinent details, but such things are often against ToS.

Lame game with VR. Horrible game without.

First off, it ain't bad of a 3D model poser with furries in it. That's how I see this game since I don't own a VR headset and go in on 2D mode. The three stars is due to how it is trying to pose characters and how for a porn game, it feels lacking in poses out the box. That said, here are my cons for the game:

*Posing is a pain. There's no mating presses or full nelsons without trying a custom pose, and trying to pose these characters is a pain in the ass compared to Honey Select or Koikatsu where you had the sphere that could let you adjust the X, Y, and Z axis of the character. And when you try, the limbs can end up looking off and the textures get warped because the limb bones were twisted wrong.

*Body collision is a bitch if you want to keep a character fucking with a big dick. Wanted to do anal on the dragoness with horse dick? It's possible but you have to adjust it carefully and the cock can end up clipping out of her body if the size is too large.

*Too little poses out the box. Honey Select 1 & 2 had a lot of positions. This meanwhile has only a few and some for two characters aren't paired with everyone. Wanted the wolf girl to take it up the womb from the horse man in a full nelson? Too bad, all they got is cuddling if you picked the bedroom compared to the cabin where they may have two poses instead.

*Gloryhole map should have some actual oral sex. I can, through making the character float and clip their feet get fucked in the glory hole stall but they can't suck off the lizard dick? That's honestly weak. Even if it's possible, the way you have to pose them is a complete bitch. Seriously, I just wanted to make the dragoness suck horse dick and get fucked by lizard dick in her ass.

Now onto the pros
*You can make custom poses. Granted, it's janky but you can make them.

*Modding. Granted, there's little modding and I'm not going on to the discord to scour for them. There exist a google drive where you can download skin mods and poses though some are deprecated.

*Voice acting, far as I heard with the wolf, dragoness, and horse aren't bad. Can't say much for the rest because I focused solely on two females and one male character.

My only personal gripe: no character customization and by that extension, no humans. I know this was made purely furry but as an enjoyer of HMOFA (human male on female anthro), it would of been nice to have the option where a human man gets corrupted into fucking furry women. And unless devs update further or modders swoop in, there's too little maps. I wouldn't mind having another location like a motel room or a casual looking bedroom like Koikatsu or Honey Select has.

It isn't awful. But it runs poorly on a very good rig, neither the physics settings, graphical settings, or even aggressive 20% resolution can fix, on a 3070TI. Unless you have FBT, you'll mostly find yourself giving oral or hand-based interactions. The attempts at any sort of bottoming or topping have felt quite half-baked. I'm not going to complain about their income, but they do make a fair amount.

This project seems to be held together by duct tape and dreams. I've encountered multiple seemingly game breaking bugs in 10 minutes of attempting to play while dealing with some of the most frustrating controls for KB+M I have ever seen in my life. Cannot recommend until this gets ironed out.

Fantastic. Clunky at first but the variety of freedom the user has is awesome. Posing takes patience to master and can be tweaked very well. Little lackluster on 2d interactions outside of the toys but the game is fun and very diverse.

A great VR title, which is sadly a rare sight. The optimization is better than most games I've noticed, and the many characters provide replayability and variety. I do wish there was customization of the preset characters, but maybe in a later update.

Honest to god, I feel like this game is not supposed to be played with Keyboard+Mouse. I don't know what I'm doing wrong but the controls and generally everything is so janky clumsy and illogical that the game is almost unplayable.
I've been waiting long to post this review because I was hoping they'd fix it but it looks like the developers see adding new content as a higher priority.

Still, I really hope this project will be a little less painful to play in the future. There are some cool underrepresented fetishes and I generally believe that the game has a big potential.

for that INSANE AMOUT (72k$ last time i saw it) that game i s junky as heck. It has some potential, but characters derpying around like crazy, UI is NOT friendly, ADD SOME FREAKING 3D box with 3 arrows for drag objects! Like wtf
Their animations is nice, but ui and shitty posing kills it all

Amazing game with many possibilities. I don't think there is any other game like it out there at the moment. The ability to change the scale as much or as little as you want is a really great idea, too bad almost no one else even tried to implement it.

if i lived alone, i would probably never jerk it to normal furry porn again after playing this.

my glowing opinion of this game might be biased by the fact that this is the first VR game i've played for more than 20 minutes, but WOW, is it a solid game, and a top-tier porn game at that.

heat's dev team understand that 3D porn lives and dies on the quality of its character models, especially in virtual reality, where the characters are right there with all their flaws two inches from your eyeballs. getting up close is worth it here -- the amount of detail in these seemingly cartoony models is fantastic.

in particular, the texture work is phenomenal. everything is nicely shaded and relatively realistic, dong size and art style aside; characters with fur don't shine like they've been dunked in rub n' buff, and the detailing on the lovely, lovely dicks is to die for. they even glisten after you suck 'em! it's great!

that's not to say that the models are just well-painted dolls, though. the game's dynamic animation system sells the entire experience. characters make adorable O-faces when they're aroused, look up at you while they're blowing your virtual cock, thrust into you when you're fooling around with them, and even make silly faces when you boop them on the nose. it's cute! it's fun! it's like actual sex except you don't have to shower beforehand or lie about your interests!

all my excitement aside, the game isn't perfect by any stretch -- it's actually pretty janky at times. the custom posing feature is very freeform, which is good for the detail-oriented, but can lead to stretching and weird uncanny twisting effects. regular sex, too, can be buggy -- i had a character's balls get stuck on top of their dick, once. full-body tracking also doesn't work all that well, although i suspect that's because it's designed for you to use actual trackers instead of just sticking a controller down your pants.

anywho. minor issues aside, if you have a VR headset, PC that can run this, and are a furry, play it. you will not regret it.

this is better than alot of the stuff made by established studios...not that i've encountered anything like this from them. The devs of this deserve your hard earned cash, they're doing it right!
The level of interaction is great, way more than the usual "jiggly mannequin": the facial expressions change dynamically, dudes go from soft to hard, hips thrust when they're excited, you can boop! I'm genuinely impressed.
