Last Banya progress update

Added 2025-07-06 21:37:47 +0000 UTC

finished animation
scripted entering the steam room which I forgot to do previously
scripted new poses & pose UI
scripted male shorts

All that remains is voice acting and some sfx - that is what I'm going to focus on tomorrow.

To summarize the update:

5 new playable poses + 2 long transitions between rooms. The new poses take more of an erotic angle rather than hard pornographic. The lounge poses will be predominantly that.
new clothing combinations.
rain particles that can be seen in the windows.
restructure of the "No tutorial" start into pose-switcher type of gameplay. If you decide to play in tutorial mode, you will enter pose switcher mode after you finish it. Pose switcher has separate playable pose pools for each of the two rooms.
update to Liz & the male.
clothing for the male (swim trunks) depending on the pose picked.
voice acting for the tutorial mode.
new body-related plugins such as ExtraGenitals by Mestre and BetterBends by Skynet.
switch to VAMMoan 2
reduction of UI clutter. Majority of atoms are set to Hidden.
fix for some bugs and mis-design, such as wall assets visible through the windows where they shouldn't be; talk POI moving too fast to click it comfortably etc.

So the main thing was the re-scripting. Previously to add a pose I would have to add a few logic bricks, weave them into like a dozen of already existing triggers, create dialogue for it etc. This made adding content to the scene extremely expensive on time. Now my hands are no longer tied.

The strategic goal for future Banya updates is to fill it with playable content before adding actual meaningful gameplay to it. So that there are enough rewards or outcomes of your actions for the scene to choose from.

This is a massive amount of work (at least on my scale) done for this update and that's why I needed Major release "slot" for it.

Things already planned that couldn't make it in this time:
