Massive 2.0 Update Out Now!

The Massive Leap Update

We are incredibly grateful for the attention the game has gotten so far. This update has been in the works for many months. Many things that weren't included in the demo because they weren't ready yet, many things that have been changed/added based on all the amazing community feedback we've gotten from the demo.

So without too much text, I present to you: The massive 2.0 update!

Male Character, Jog, Jiggle Physics

We didn't think we'd be able to pull it off but we decided to go for it. The mostly commonly requested addition is here: Male option!

You now jog instead of walking for faster movement. Along with jiggle physics for characters & clothes.

Map Overhaul

The biomes have received major reworks with brand new graphics & layouts, while still being the same Tropical Monster Girls you know and love.

Companion system overhaul

Reworked to better match our vision. Many new unique dialogue lines, U.I, and brand new functionality.

Player Building 2.0 Has Arrived!

Lots of new things to build & you can now build vertically!

Building your home or base vertically is now supported with changes to the building system. Along with a ton of new buildables such as stairs, floors, updated roof, furniture, decorations, and more!

Added paintings, inspired by the pixel paintings of MineCraft.

Several existing buildables have also received new graphics. Massive changes & improvements to pathfinding across all NPCs. 3D icons now display what companion job is required above them (some may not be available yet).

New Hostile NPCs & Improved logic/behavior

The list of upgrades is long! Almost nothing is the same as it was.

Many brand new enemies have been added featuring their own combat & movement, along with a rework to goblins
Hostiles improvements: New combat behavior. Can now target your companions. Show status icons above their head to let you see at a glance if they are aggro'd or stunned. Spawn further from the player. Added new visual & sound effects, such as stars above their head when stunned. Significant pathfinding and movement improvements such as turn handling, obstacle avoidance, and character avoidance.

New Item Drops

Now with added physics!

More Highlights

• New game trailer on the store page
  
• Added navigation map & minimap
  
• New NSFW System
  
• New loading screen
  
• Most U.I across the game has been updated, polished, given animations, added quality of life improvements to, etc.
  
• Build menu has been made better & also new build categories. In demo v1 it wasn't clear what would go in the 'foundation' category vs 'build'. Now the categories make a lot more sense.
  

Early Access Release Date

The game's release has been set to July 25th. The game was going to release May 30th, and we think it's ready to.

However,
Steam is very picky with their approval process, and have gotten a bit stricter with specifically the approval process for NSFW games. So even though the game is almost ready for release, we just can't get it approved on-time. They also have a rule that you can't change release date within 14 days of release so we had to push it. And because pushing it would land us in June during the NextFest & Summer Sale (which we don't qualify for), we had to push it to July. Every time we submit a game build it's usually 6 days before they can reply, so it can take awhile to get a response and then figure out what else we need to do. We have to do what we're asked, wait a week, do what we're asked, wait a week, etc.

We now know moving forward it means that we should start getting our builds approved a couple of months in-advance of release.

We apologize for the delay.

Backwards Compatibility

Save files from demo v1 aren't compatible with demo v2. The reason being we had to change how saving/loading worked in key areas to make the system more robust for all the new systems we've added. Save files made from this point forward (demo v2) WILL be compatible with Early Access.

If you played demo v1, you don't need to worry about manually deleting your save file. You'll be able to just press "Start New Game" when you launch demo v2.

I've added a Steam branch you can opt into if you want to play the old version of the demo. Might be fun to compare how things have changed. Just make sure to back up your save data first when switching between branches.

Hundreds of quality polishes & changes

We've meticulously written down everything we've done that wasn't in demo v1 as we've done it so we could make this post. But that changelog was over 100,000 characters long. So here are just a few more highlights that I wanted to mention:

• NPC Pathfinding has received a big overhaul with better performance and better avoidance of obstacles & characters
  
• Upgraded the engine to Unity 6
  
• The player gets hungry 50% slower
  
• Added new items like the fire arrow & gel
  
• Bosses have received big updates including an intro cinematic and improved behavior
  
• Added vfx to pickups, harvesting, projectile impacts, destroying buildings, player footsteps, and more
  
• Game cursor improvements & better visuals
  
• Interact text fading
  
• Chests now have open/close animations
  
• Added auto save notifications (which can be turned on & off in the settings)
  
• Polished the tutorial & game intro
  
• Added a couple of easter eggs
  
• Lots of game text was rewritten to be more immersive
  
• Big improvements to the saving/loading system
  
• New UI Sounds
  
• Extended the demo boundary
  
• Literally hundreds of other changes, bug fixes, optimizations, and additions
  

And with that, we hope you have fun!
