Virtual Succubus 0.36 Patch Notes

Hi there!

A quick note for those who may have missed it last month, the VS team has expanded.

Check out https://www.patreon.com/posts/dev-update-team-74956819 for more info!

As was stated in last month’s development update, 0.36 was primarily aimed towards cleaning up code and paying technical debt…

…But I can’t exactly give you such a boring update, so we also added some extremely requested visual features!

While content wise this update is primarily visual, it’s also a very impactful update for gameplay. Many of the bugfixes involved in this update were really significant, and some of the balance changes can affect the game pretty wildly. You may want to update your settings and toggles!

Current 0.36 Patch Notes:

Features

Cleanup

Huge parts of the code have been cleaned up and made more readable and efficient.

Much of it you may not see immediate changes from, but this allows us to waste less time in the future and has allowed us to review many of the changes below.

Please note that any cleanup/optimization comes with potential bugs and balance changes that may affect the game. Reports are appreciated.

And now…

I break the glass labeled “this update has nothing fun” and pull out a few features from it

Wings

Yes, wings have been added. They have been added with absolute total disregard for clipping problems. You asked for this. We now have given this. I beg, do not report clipping as a bug. I BEG.

Butt wings are a thing, too.

Hairstyles & Color Variety

9 new hairstyles, some of which are on the longer side and may cause clipping. See my request above from wings.

Selecting multiple hairstyles will now allow her to choose a random hairstyle from the enabled selections for every session.

4x more potential hair color formats, by inverting the highlights and base color, and adding solid color variants for both the base and the highlight color. Which leads into…

Hair Color Favor Request

You can now request any of the new hair colors with favor!

Content

• Added basic strokes to the rhythm system.
• Added the "No Holidays" toggle.
• Added the “Wings” toggle with total disregard for clipping
• Added the “Bone Wings” toggle with total disregard for clipping
• Added the new Hairstyles menu, containing 9 new hairstyles.
• Added "No Highlights" and "Always Highlights" to the new hair menu.

Balance

• Completely rewrote the way timed checks happen in the game. This can affect events, roleplay, findom, yandere, positioning, toy events, and decisions. They should now be more appropriately spread out as the next timer is calculated after a task/event is fully complete.
• Added a ''Failed'' interaction to Training. This causes the current training segment to end.
• Large increase in edges for max edging difficulty as a result of a bug fix. See Bugfixes.
• Edging no longer increases energy during energy drain sessions. This caused too much imbalance in session duration.

Polish & Misc

• One Handed and Silent are now part of the Player Status menu.
• Nipple clamp incompatibilities added.

Bugfixes

• Fixed a bug that could cause the wrong archetype of status to be applied.
• Fixed an issue that could cause layers to be mis-assigned on counted tasks resulting from spin the wheel.
• Fixed a bug preventing her nails from changing color.
• Fixed a bug with the Edging system that could cause the wrong layers to be used.
• Fixed a bug with outfit odds that could cause them to not be considered.
• Hide UI is now disabled on mobile until the bug preventing its re-enabling is found. This is a rough one, apologies for the trouble.
• Fixed a pair of underwear that had a texture issue around the crotch.
• Fixed a lockup that could happen if somehow your save file had no sex attributed to it.
• Fixed kegels training points not saving properly
• Fixed training edging not working properly.
• Added a fallback for a few situations in Spin the Wheel where a punishment can't be found.
• Fixed the toy events toggle being randomly turned on. Make sure to re-activate it if you want it on, as it was turned off for everybody for this update.
• Fixed a bug with the Edging system that could cause fewer edges and shorter rides than intended at max Edge Difficulty. As a warning, this can cause max Edge Difficulty to give up to double the amount of edges that it previously did.
• Fixed heavy worship intro session modifier not appearing
• Fixed a bug with say statuses showing up when they're already active.
• Added an incompatibility with sleeve toy to head of dick and frenulum for toothbrush, hairbrush and fork
• Fixed some nipple clamp incompatibilities
• Added an incompatibility with breathplay layers to licking the soles of your feet
• Fixed various different bugs with Experimental subtoggles.
• Fixed a bug that could cause the task type to change when taunting on spin the wheel.
• Fixed a bunch of statuses not timing out when they should.
• Fixed the notorious "none" and empty task bugs.
• Fixed a bug that could cause some tasks marked as disliked to not be correctly flagged. A disliked tasks wipe has happened with 0.36 to fix this, apologies for the trouble.
• Adjusted a setting that turned out to (for some fucking reason) be incompatible with specifically Samsung devices.  
  Sadly, low-end Samsung devices can still run into issues for reasons we're still trying to figure out, but now it should be possible to start sessions if it still doesn't, here are some further steps to try that have been known to help:
  - Disable Tattoos
  - Restart device, then start a session.
  - Increase your RAM Plus setting in your phone settings to 8GB
  - Uninstall, restart, then reinstall.
