"your own" do you mean completely new from scratch i.e. using Blender? The in-game tutorial only covers bone offset manipulation.
you can use bone offsets, but you can also create custom bone controls for any poseable character, load up the animator sequencer and add those bones into it, add the rotation/movement of those bones and start animating

Yeah, just tried it. Pure torture without the toolkit of Maya/Blender. Oh well.

do we really need it, or is AdeptusSteve going to drop a major update tomorrow?
Not tomorrow, but we are working on it.
However, as you all know im very welcoming of mods, I enjoy seeing the community get together and create content around - and for our game. Usually mods so far have always been for the sandbox so im looking forward to see what you come up with for the story mode quests and dialogues.

I'm having issues running the 2024.12.13 version of the game.
It crashes at start (before the UE window even shows up), creating a UE dump. I can share the dump if that's helpful, but I don't get any specific messages except "crashed", so I have no idea what's going on.

How much RAM/VRAM have you got? In my experience increasing the Windows swap file size to 20GB or so helps with crashes (at the cost of some lag spikes)

it takes a bit to learn but it's pretty good, can make some really good content with it once you get the hang of it.
Oh yea there have been some works done with it that left me genuinely impressed. There is some amazing animation talent hidden here among the community.

I really don't think that's the problem here. But in any case, I am pretty sure 32+12 should be able to run anything I throw at it decently, let alone without actually crashing.

Ok, I got the hang of it. My bad for not taking time to figure out how to use IK in the editor. The animating is much easier now. Still no Blender, but good enough not to be a torture anymore..

Just tried it. So no gangbang climax animation for the human MMMMF sex animation. Only for the rat creature thing? lol

probably an often-asked question but since I can't even find any answers only arguing - what are some tips to increasing the game FPS aside from the most obvious like lowering down settings


I get a mostly stable 30-31ish FPS when running this on Ubuntu 20.04, but I think I get the same frames when I am trying this out on Windows (therefore, advice does not have to be linux-specific, I am only experimenting)

as far as I know, configuring the game to DX11 gives a boost, but are there any other hacks, community plugins or whatnot that can also give a slight perf boost?

in advance: I'm using an AMD RX550 GPU, and I have a Ryzen 5 1600X processor, with 8 gigabytes of RAM (configured to 2133, so it's only 8 gigs of RAM instead of 16, cause I have two 4gb sticks and one 8gb stick). Am I underpowered? Should I overclock? Or can I modify the game?

GPU may be the bottleneck. Not because of the VRAM etc but simply because it is not an NVIDIA card. Modern games are made with RTX-series cards in mind, and run best on these in conjunction with Nvidia's drivers. Though you've probaly heard this before...

Soft-overclocking the card's cycle frequency by 10-20% using MSI Afterburner (or whatever is the default OEM OC tool for your card) usually nets +2-5 FPS.

What is your goal? Sandbox? Main game (which has no content)? Do you want to run 4k@60? Or something more realistic? Since the game is not a twitch shooter a stable 30 works fine in most cases. If what you want is 1080p @ 60, then following settings net good results on my med-range setup:

Shadows: LOW . Medium shadows look good enough already, and low is still very serviceable. Visual fidelity gain from setting shadows higher than MED is not worth it.

Textures: HIGH max. There is zero visual difference between high and epic at 1080p

VSYNC: Off. Vsync is notoriously taxing on the FPS.

Anti-aliasing: LOW. AA is costly and imo blurs the game too much. There is a FAR better alternative to AA (see below).

Frame Limit: 50. This is not a twitch shooter. 40-50 FPS range looks smooth enough.

Upscaling Mode: This is the cheat code you are looking for. DLSS is imo the bestest option (makes the game look super sharp at almost 0 fps loss). But FSR and TSR aren't bad options either. Set the AA and shadows to low, then FSR or TSR to "Ultra quality". Same effect as maxxed AA/Shadows but at much lesser FPS cost. Disclaimer: I'm a pesky RTX 2xxx owner, therefore your experience may vary.

In my experience, on a mid-range GPU (RTX 20xx or so) this produces very stable constant 40 FPS even in reasonably crowded sandbox levels.

Can't find DLSS - so I assume this is likely an NVIDIA thing, or maybe I'll just have to switch to Windows (on Linux as of writing this).

I'm looking for mostly sandbox, yeah. Tbh, I miss how sandbox sex used to work on the earlier builds. Sure, there's more content now but.. it used to be much simpler back then. I guess this is more convenient for those who are making videos or screenshots.
Will try to follow your guide, thanks!
