I'm pretty sure, but I think the key to use the consumable was removed. I've triple checked the keybinds and it is not there. Nor is there an option to switch to the torch either. I've also pressed all the keys on the keyboard sequentially from Q to M (on a qwerty keyboard) and didn't find a button to use an item or switch an item. I did however find out that "G" enters slow-motion mode (which is an unlisted keybind).
In terms of technical performance it has improved dramatically. I keep Task Manager open in my second window, and so I can see the CPU/RAM usage of the game. It uses roughly 25% CPU and roughly 2300 MB of RAM. The last build ate up at least 40% CPU and over 3500 MB of RAM. This is on max settings with 6 core 3.6ghz processors and 16 gb of ddr4 RAM and a Nvidia Titan X 12Gb card. I get a stable 60 fps for this build, but my FPS fluctuated quite a bit in the previous build.
So if the animations aren't that impressive, at least from a technical perspective it is a massive improvement.
I like Aoi too... and Serenia. I'm not a fan of Maya, which is a shame. Mostly because Maya's sliders have very little impact on her body customization.
marmaduke ; I mostly play Minotaur x Maya or (mino x2 x maya / mino x maya x2) or Corbac x Maya. Most of the scenes lack the pose variation for either hole. Not sure on others as I don't touch them much. I find them a bit too bland, mostly because they have small / human average sized dicks, which is a turnoff for me.
