Milestone Release: 2022_02.0.1

Hello February! It's time for an update. At the moment we are focussing on three major improvements.

We added the new animations for the Stallion. At the moment the Stallion may experience some dialog line issues. I am currently writing the dialog, but we didn't want to make you wait any longer. So enjoy the new Doggystyle and Facing the Wall positions! If you encounter placement issues, please let us know!

We have also added a new Warehouse Stage. This stage is an early WIP and we are looking for your feedback if the system works as we want it to. In the Warehouse you can scale up the character in the character menu ... but the character will be pushed against the ceiling very quickly. Next to you is a big round button you can push ... give it a try and look up the ceiling - and what the scaling slider has to offer afterwards ... :-)

The Warehouse is a technical work in progress. We haven't done all the lighting and there aren't any nice textures. We want to know if the room and the system works for you in personal 2D mode AND in VR. Give it a try and please tell us what you think!

The Wolf is also coming along very nicely. We posted an update in the Discord just today and will add a Patreon post very soon as well! If you join our Discord Community, you will one of the first who will see him.

An update about the future development of Hybrids: Virtual Encounters

The team was also talking about the future of Hybrids: Virtual Encounters. We have sharpened our vision of what we want to do and achieve with Hybrids: Virtual Encounters. And while we are still working on updates and improvements, Tyranno is already working on a new interaction engine. The last weekend we were able to give it a try and it feels awesome! This will take some time and we will keep you updated on the next phase of Hybrids: Virtual Encounters.

With your help we were able to build a solid foundation for this game. This year we are going to build upon it and create even better and immersive scenarios for you. We heard your feedback, wishes and also your critic. This helps us to make this game even better for you. Thank you so much! :-)

If you experience any issues with the current build, please let us know.

Thank you all!

We are looking forward to your feedback!

Have fun and enjoy the game.

We have an amazing journey ahead of us and we will be implementing many ideas in the future with the help of you, our valued patrons.

Thank you for your support of Hybrids: Virtual Encounters! You help us to grow this game and your feedback helps us to make it even better for you! :-)
