What's New in The Villain Sim Beta 31

You probably know we fixed a whole bunch of issues on Beta 31 and we are serious, I think we fixed more than 100 of them plus another bunch of optimizations. Definitely a version to try because it is what we think the most stable version we have put out there in a very long time.

You can find The Villain Sim Beta 31 here 

Let me point quick the major changes and will end with a complete changelog.

• Tons of bug fixes: better grabbing, less buggy interactions, more stable toys, Custom Characters, etc.
• Performance improvements on all places, loading the game, during the game, loading characters, fixed memory leak in Character Creator, etc.
• Photo Mode in the Character Creator with lighting settings, camera effect settings, pose selector and a quick access to your captured photos. Now you are able to capture photos even at 8k. 
• The Synth Belly Apparatus, inspired by one of my figurines I saw it would be fun to see yourself inside of The Synth, plus this gave us ideas and we are planning to add some more functionality to this device.
• Added some more customizations in the Character Creator: The system was implemented but we weren't using it properly, now you can change some more properties on the items materials and a bunch of adjustment sliders to the clothing.
• 1 new hair and 1 catsuit in the Character Creator, new high heels
• Option to hide the player body
• The settings menu is now available in-game

With a good base free of nasty bugs we can (this time for real) focus on building the game story and missions, this we will be doing on the next updates, in fact we have already layered a plan to deliver at least 1 new mission per release.
