I think it auto adjusts to your primary action, you may need a different restraint type for other actions but I have no clue as I fall in and out of interest in the game.

From what I saw, and I'm going off of memory here, he isn't good at coding and the game is already so far along in progress that his code would either need a whole rewrite or he would have to teach people how to work with the code he wrote for the game.
I found him mention this while I was digging through his twitter for some kind of answer. I can't remember if this is exactly the reason, maybe someone can correct me on this.
He insisted on doing this project alone and now it's bit him in the ass and he either has to work with his mess of a code or start from square one....
I have nothing against him taking his time on a project so long as it's getting done, but as someone pointed out, he's making a hefty sum of money monthly on a project he hasn't updated since 2020.
IDK why people still support him if this is the case.

A lot of these devs insist on working alone specifically because they can take forever to milk the patrons and because there is no one they need to pay weekly or who will spill the beans that nothing has been worked on in weeks.

I don't know if it's malicious in the case of Fek (or at least it wasn't at first), but around the same time KabsKorner and JasonAfex had some internal drama in their development of their own platforming game, and maybe Fek was seeking to avoid that.
Either way, it's a shame the project died, it was a great concept and most of Fek's other work is up to par.
There is some fear I think about making commitments and giving up some creative control to someone else. On top of that the anxiety of dealing with people you might not know very well. Which is why small creatives like Fek avoid hiring people as it might lead to further problems.
We see however again and again that trying to do everything yourself as a beginner always leads to heartbreak. No doubt every creative sees others falling into this pit and they think "Well if I work twice as hard, open a Patreon and quit my job, I'll NEVER run out of motivation!"
Then they burn out in like 2 months and have to face the music of people demanding for updates since their money is sinking into the project.

post 1 windows 64 is 2.12. There is no changelog entry so you have to look for the small version number as the big changelog section still shows 2.11
Is there any games out there similar to this that aren't abandoned? Something 3D with machines and bondage? I had thought there would be, but I can't find anything so far.

The Villain Simulator is the closest (no furries though), but Fek has an earlier prequel to this game just called Rack which is essentially the same as this one but in Flash.
Something 3D? Check.
Not abandoned? Check.
Bondage? You got it.

Basically Rack 2, but more moe and less furry. This is the closest thing I could find.
You two are the best, thank you! I used to play Rack 1 all the time and was so sad to see Rack 2 turn to it's current state. Glad to know there's similar and better stuff out there.
Not sure if anyone's checking on this, but there's a post regarding RackNET (which appears to be the updated name for Rack 2) on y'man's patreon as of july some, which unless im missing something isn't bad. Can someone confirm if I'm crazy or if this should be un'abandoned'?

I would vote No to unabandoned at the moment, Fek has teased progress being made on multiplayer but it is all tangential fluff, we know he can make a UI screen and RackNET character sharing has always been funky so we still don't have anything that really shows progress since the last release.

Opens up Rack 2 after it sits on my G: drive for like months.
Game crashes after it takes 95% of my memory when editing my character in the creator.
If I asked NASA to rent one of their supercomputers, I think I'd blackout their whole system and maybe crash the ISS trying to modify the colors of a marking on a furry in a 3D stress test.
That's basically Rack 2 is, it's an outdated buggy stress test.

I would only move to "un-abandon" the project once a new update is actually released. As stated by other members here, an example UI or some wireframe elements does not a product make.

Did some digging:
Looks like he is developing something, but time will tell if this ever turns into a game update. Hopefully whatever he does doesn't make cracking this harder.
Also it still looks wack in Unity lmao, all this time and this is what we get lol

Wow new UI how beneficial, I wonder if that'll fix the horrid performance on higher gfx

The first time you start the game you have to wait long enough that the screen should have a progress bar explaining it is doing initial setup, if you killed the process you likely need to delete the malformed save folder on your C drive and try again, also sometimes it just doesn't work.
