Unreal Engine Abandoned LifePlay [v2023.04 Stable] [Vinfamy]

3.0 Stable includes a public beta testing period before the official release. So, here are the links for those wanting to help beta-test this version (or just really impatient). No previous beta testing experience is required - it's as simple as playing the game normally and report any bugs you encounter.
- 3.0 Stable Release Candidate 3 64-bit Update Only (requires v2.0 Stable or later)
- 3.0 Stable Release Candidate 3 64-bit Full
The beta testing period will last around 36 hours, aiming for official release of v3.0 Stable (which will include the rest of the platforms and mirrors of course) on Saturday, 2 May.
My preferred channel to receive bug reports from beta testers is via Discord. But a reply here would do too.
If you're not interested in beta-testing the game and are not super impatient to try out the new content in this version, it's recommended to just wait a bit more for the final v3.0 Stable releases.
Thank you for all your help!
Change Log:
- Change the NPC spawning for scenes so that there can ever one copy of each specific NPC existing in the game at any point (For example, if a scene triggers involving your girlfriend and she's already in the bedroom with you - there shouldn't be a clone of hers being spawned in - but she should simply walk towards you to start the scene). This also ensures that any stat changes to NPCs, whether from scenes or interactions, actually get saved.
- Add a system to prioritize triggering scenes that involve NPCs already in the same location as the player so that scenes feel more relevant and less random.
- Add new API functions myself and modders can use, which allow more control over what characters do during scenes now that they're in a fully 3d space all the time and not in a 'visual novel' scene anymore.
- Add some essential camera auto-adjustments so that you don't end up outside the interior space or in awkward angles (which can happen whenever you move from a big interior to a small interior for example)
- Some further performance optimizations, especially with regards to loading furniture assets, and also in terms of reducing the (currently huge) jump in performance costs between a small map (like Central Bath) and a big map (like Central London)
- Bug fixes and other improvements
The AI and Interaction Overhaul is considered 'done' with this v3.0 Stable update, as all the systems and basic assets for them will have all been added and the game will be perfectly playable with the new AI and Interaction gameplay. However, there will continue be a few more future updates spread out in the v3.x versions that add more assets to work with the new systems like more daily activity animations (a bit lacking in variety right now because I only had one update, i.e. v3.0 Beta 2, so far for animating work), more AI packages, more interactions, more 3d location presets etc.

Vinfamy Was in a bar a random scene triggerd, after the scene the room reverted back to the base outside room(Stone floor blank walls) the same people were still there just no bar.
keep getting ' Oh baby your the only man I want in my life right now' or something along those lines appering above my head. I am playing a straight male btw, at home alone(Or was he just talking to himself lol)
Somehow managed to get the main game running whilst having sex(Time was passing and game speed indecators up), not sure what caused this. But if another scene triggerd, whilst already in a scene, who knows what could have happend.
Take over business, causes a complete game lockup. new game lincoln, tried bar and gym. Had to task manager to quit.
Ok it isnt setting up a business, its just a random lockup on any action with a timer, had it happen 3 times on diffirent actions, but they are all currently working again?

Does this fix the random characters showing up in scenes/sex scenes in t poses? Also, is "porn scenes respect orientation" here or future? Really wish sb would come back to fix not just non-compatibility but also update. Still some minor errors (mostly wording/not understanding female pimps/male prostitutes.)
Let's talk about some of my views on the game:
I started to contact this game from version 2.13, which is a 2D sandbox mine stepping trigger game platform designed by open mod. Of course, the characters are 3D models. Yes, I think it's a game platform, not a game. I want to thank Vinfamy for providing this platform, which allows me to design my own mod to realize my own ideas. Of course, I didn't share my mod, because I wrote mod in my own language, and I was lazy and didn't want to translate it into English .Because I can write two MODS in one translation time, and I will lose interest in the mods I have translated, including my own writing, which may be a double-edged sword. after all, mines that have not been stepped on are the freshest. So I'm just treat as a game platform, not a game.
Now that the game is up to 3.0, I feel that vinfomy seems to have gone astray.Yes, it may be a mistake to change from the game mode of mine stepping triggering event to the click triggering interaction mode, because without a lot of AI controlling NPC's self action, NPC can only walk randomly in sandbox style, that is, fake AI, and the transformation from 2D interface to 3D interface also needs to solve the problem of perspective. Yes, the perspective is blocked. In 3D games, there is a way toIn order to solve this problem, we must solve the problem of view occlusion.
In fact, I want to say that the span of game mode transformation is too large. Maybe we should first improve 2D game 1.0, then change our thinking to 3D game 2.0, first complete NPC architecture and interaction, and then change our thinking to 3D AI interaction.Yes, I want to say that it might be better to complete all the content of 2D platform before upgrading to 3D platform.
Finally, I want to say sorry to the machine translation of this translation software, which may cause reading obstacles.

Maybe I can give you some inspiration for the game mode change:
If you want to continue to abandon the visual novel style, random trigger event game mode, and then change to the point-to-point NPC interactive game mode.
Then you need to solve the following problems: first, NPC is generated according to the building as the main body, randomly generating several NPC's, including those you know and don't know. When you own a building or work in a building, your colleagues, employees, bosses, customers, etc. will be randomly generated. At least every building must have at least one NPC, and all random events will be changed into trigger events For example, if you want to work, click on yourself. For example, if you know someone randomly, you can click the person you don't know to communicate with him. At this time, we need characters to display names, and people we don't know will display question marks.
If you can solve the problem of scene and character display, all you have to do is convert all the random trigger events into click trigger events. Then through scene switching, such as shopping malls switching to warehouses or bathrooms, family houses switching to bedrooms and kitchens, etc., to interact with the deep level. Then the rest of the events and MODS will be left to the moder. As I said before, you need to provide a complete foundation.

Vinfamy Really, dude, when I see this game based on real city map, I think it's a great game, isn't it? It's a sense of substitution. You can play in the familiar cities and streets. You can even move people you know in reality into the game and do whatever you want. As long as you're bored, you can even buy the whole map of the building. LOL. Do some crazy things in the game that can't be done in real life. Let go of your own ideas. What you are doing now is a very potential game, although it is an hgame. That's why I like the game and pay attention to it.

Good Morning
I enter the clothes inventory and dress people
but people never show up in the game with the clothes I chose
why does this happen?
thank you
it's a requested feature I added in but never used myself
Too distracting to look into that right now while finishing v3.0 overhaul, will look into it in a future update

It's not enough to just choose clothes for NPC. You have to buy them for NPC and let NPC really own them. Then they will only appear in the clothes you choose for them.

Hi Vinfamy,
on Patreon you also wrote about an update of the documentation (functions, Guides etc.). As far as i read in the docs section of RC3 there is nothing new or changed. Will this update come with the final relases of 3.0?
So far i didn't encounter any major problems with RC3. Runs smooth on my rig until now.
Good work (as always), already looking forward for the next update
Modding docs will be midweek next week, updated Docs will come with the Github commit for this update. Since it's called v3.0 Stable, I preferred to spend the last 48 hours before release on bug hunting. Docs can wait another week or soHi Vinfamy,

Vinfamy OK latest version bug, Although it could be from before that, havent seen this scene in a while. Girlfriend out with coworkers visited, went to bathroom came back. Everyone including PC is invisable! whent back home still invisible, can see speech above the head moving around as PC moves but no models, changed location still invisable.
Had to save quit and reload to get PC back again. Not sure if it was a scene thing or what will let you know if it happens again.
Ok this is strange I havent seen that scene in ages, then it triggers again withing 10 minutes! Same as last time after the peep in toilet scene everyone is invisible.
Also I have to say, I do agree with some of what vampire899 was saying for me as well the whole focus on rooms although great for scenes, has somewhat taken away from the game a little for me. This may just be because its a big change and by nature a lot of people dont tend to like large changes.
However I have a simple sugestion to sort it. A focus toggle in the settings, focus on room or map when a scene ends.
So if clicked on it takes you to the map if off it takes you to the room. This keeps everyone happy, Personaly I would carry on whatever, the ability to interact with random npc's is a massive benifit, but I do find myself constantly clicking to go back to the map view now.

Yes, I think so too. Under normal circumstances, under 3D interface, it should return to the current room at the end rather than directly exit to the street, except for some events leaving the room, it should exit to the street.
