• Fixed a long-standing bug with CharacterZoners that could result in a Character having their CurrentZone inadvertently changed due to Crouching or a small number of more niche behaviors. Such occurrences could result in issues ranging from slightly inaccurate Zone placement to a Character having a Zone assigned that was beyond an adjacent wall
• The Freezer door (upper door of the refrigerator) can now be used independently. Interactions for it still need to be scripted into Stories that desire putting it to use
• Minor cleanup and optimization of Door Auto Close-related behaviors
• Fixed a couple sources of a minor Coroutine nuisance error that could occur when utilizing certain behaviors with disabled items
• Fixed a bug with the Item Console Command that would allow for firing of any InteractiveItem public method, rather than just methods tagged as ItemFunctions

• Minor optimization of AudioManager to eliminate all garbage allocation and very slightly reduce CPU usage

• Added the functionality for specific InteractiveItems to override the default RightHand/Throw behavior
• Added two new movetargets, NearGarageDoor1 and NearGarageDoor2

• CSC: Characters that cannot be enabled in Custom Stories will display a warning indicating as much within their Character Story entry
• CSC: Dialogues can now be set to process as “AutoImmersive”. When a Dialogue has this setting enabled, the Response UI will be hidden from the Player and the first Response (or the default “…”/no response) that meets its criteria will be fired, allowing Players to sit back and relax while Dialogue unfolds. Standard Response and Dialogue Close Event behavior still applies. If the Player clicks on/interacts with the Dialogue UI while its text is still populating, this “AutoImmersive” behavior will be canceled and existing Dialogue-Response behavior will take over until a Response is chosen
• CSC: Fixed a slight alignment issue related to Response entry foldouts
• CSC: Very minor optimization of the Trigger New Dialogue/Next Dialogue selection code
• CSC: The Add New Response button will be aligned more closely with the other Response-collection buttons such as Collapse, Expand etc.
• CSC: The user can now view and manually input Response Order again (which will allow for order customization of Dialogue Response, Global, and Goodbye Responses), but note that Responses will still not auto-sort as they did prior to CSC 1.0.9
• CSC: Various buttons/functionalities that should have sorted Responses on-demand, but were not, have had this issue addressed. Responses are now sorted any time Response collection order is modified, added to, subtracted from, etc.
• CSC: A manual Sort Responses button has been added to Response collections for those that wish to play around with manual numbering and Sort later
• CSC: When changing Response Order via the up/down arrows, the system will now allow for negative Response IDs
• CSC: Global Response and Global Goodbye Response collections will no longer auto-sort on every Editor frame. They will use the same sorting mechanisms as standard Dialogue Responses. This will further increase performance when working with “Default Greeting”-type or otherwise complex Dialogues
• CSC: Characters can now be renamed via the Item : Rename GameEvent. Such changes will carry over through saves, and will affect what name is shown for crosshair/interaction text, in the Dialogue UI, BGC UI text, Opportunity Log, Combat Target UI, etc.
• CSC: Items and Items from ItemGroups can now use RotateItemToward, which will attempt to rotate them so that their “front” (typically Forward on their Z-axis; this may not always result in what is visually expected) points toward their target

1.0.9
(Stable Release 02/09/2023)

• For all non-DLC content: updated Spanish (MX) translations
• GameObject name for Key2 is now “key2” instead of “key4”. Should only matter for those cheaty cheats that use a lot of console commands
• Implemented a system to prevent item repositioning based on load game data. This should help prevent the vast majority of issues that could be caused should we decide to…redecorate
• Cleaned up some unused InteractiveItem code and members
• Updated Spanish (MX) translations for the UI
• A new Key item has made its way into the house
• Fixed an issue that could cause the Player to be unable to Interact with their POV/Legacy IntimacyPartner in the rare event that a physical obstruction created a line of sight block between them
• Enabled ItemFunctions on a number of items that previously were unable to make use of them (pretty much every item that starts out in the Fridge, such as the Mayonnaise, Chicken Nuggets, etc.)

1.0.8
(Beta Release 02/03/2023)

• CSC: major CPU and garbage allocation optimizations made that will notably reduce the UI “lag” experienced when manipulating many CSC elements, dropdowns, text fields, etc. Note that these optimizations required minor changes to the UI. Some functionalities like sorting/arranging elements are now controlled strictly through user-interactable elements like arrows, the copy/paste functions, and insert/remove
• CSC: added “CharacterGroup” behaviors. This allows for the creation of targeted groups of Characters that can then have GameEvent, Criteria, Event Trigger, and/or CriteriaGroup behaviors executed upon them selectively or en masse. Note that not all GameEvents and Criteria are available for use with this system
• In the Original Story: Updated Brittney’s behavior towards the player after they hook up
• In the Original Story: Fixed an issue with Amala not being disabled properly after leaving the party

• InteractiveItems can now internally (on our end) be flagged for automatic disabling upon start of a Custom Story game session, as can their ScriptObjects
• The following InteractiveItem(s) have been flagged to get disabled entirely whenever a New Game of a Custom Story starts: Drone, FilmCamera, HotTubCoverUnfolded, PizzaBoxFortification, PlanksFortification, PlanksFortificationExtraNails, DeadSnake (in front yard), Firetrail, and GlassCover (for the hot tub). Note that the save/load system will be relied upon to maintain InteractiveItem state between sessions, so this will only ensure that these items are disabled upon the start of a new Custom Story session. This automatic behavior can be disabled by toggling on the new UseEekDefaultItemEnableBehavior property in the Story Collection object in the CSC
• The following InteractiveItem(s) have been flagged to disable their ScriptObjects upon start of ANY Custom Story game (loaded games included): HotTubBase. Note that the save/load system does NOT maintain state of ScriptObjects. CSC scripting will be needed to address this. This automatic behavior can be disabled by toggling on the new UseEekDefaultItemEnableBehavior property in the Story Collection object in the CSC
• The Front Yard Crowd will automatically be disabled upon start of ANY Custom Story game (loaded games included)
• Minor redundancy and CPU/Memory optimization-related cleanup across a number of engine, data, Criteria evaluation, and UI-related scripts
• Fixed an issue that could cause unintended and sporadic camera “bouncing” when simply running around the game world over flat surfaces
• The Debug Log will begin logging slightly earlier than before, allowing it to catch more pre-session diagnostic info
• Minor optimizations to Debug Log to reduce garbage allocation
• Fixed an issue that was disabling the downstairs Window Blinds (against the front yard) on every game start. These have been the ScriptObject1 of the PlanksFortification for some time, and can be controlled via the CSC as needed
• The Window_Broken object will no longer be enabled by default on every game session. This has been the ScriptObject2 of the PlanksFortification for some time, and can be controlled via the CSC as needed
• Optimization pass on CharacterManagerTick loop CPU usage performance as well as performance for related methods
• Slightly optimized GPU draw calls by removing several obscured/unused environmental objects within the house and disabling Cast Shadows on a number of indoor objects that were not creating noticeable shadows
• Fixed an issue with Character/ItemGroup behavior that could allow a “shared” action to populate on the radial when a criteria check should have prevented it from doing so
• Updated Volumetric Lighting plugin, which should confer minor performance benefits for some users
• Minor optimization to FixedUpdate code that handles door rotation or position change
• Improved in-house supplemental occlusion culling support to ensure that doors specific to certain zones are taken into account when deciding to render Characters
• Rebaked lighting with slightly tweaked Ambient Occlusion settings
• Rebaked and slightly reduced footprint of occlusion culling data
• Wired up EnableScriptObject/DisableScriptObject and other ItemFunction behavior(s) for newly added assets/items
• Very minor adjustments to the Fridge door’s hard-coded auto-close behavior. Should not be discernible in normal gameplay
• Minor tweaks to VFXManager that handles certain character effects and some newer…ambiance stuff. Adjusted certain Phone-light-related behaviors to auto-adjust based on this totally spoiler-free ambiance-related tomfoolery
• Added a blackout effect
• Added a breaker box model in the garage
• Added a knife model
• Added a new fridge + alternative material option
• CSC: updated core Unity .dlls
• CSC: fixed an issue that could cause a NullReferenceException and the inability to use certain StoryCollection-related functions when initially creating a brand new StoryCollection via new GameObject

1.0.6
(Stable Release 12/02/2022)

• In the Original Story: Fixed a bug where Patrick would leave when the female player was already in the master bedroom with him to hookup
• In the Original Story: Fixed a bug where the player could start Lety’s Easter Egg CutScene when she was already at a high orgasm value, which could lead to the CutScene terminating unexpectedly
• Fixed an issue that could cause StrapOns to fail to mimic penis positional and rotational behavior(s) in CutScenes. Note that for the most part this will only affect Custom Stories, and that the majority of CutScenes were not designed to support StrapOns. Custom Story Creators will need to be mindful of this
• InteractiveStates.UnableToOpenLabiaOrAsshole is no longer entirely ignored if a CutScene Actor’s partner is Female. If the Actor has a Female partner in a CutScene that is wearing a StrapOn, this State will behave as expected. Note that for the most part this will only affect Custom Stories, and that the majority of CutScenes were not designed to support StrapOns. Custom Story Creators will need to be mindful of this
• Implemented sound effects for UI elements in GameMenu and settings menus
• Fixed an issue that could affect CutScene-specific object/transform positions when various items were mounted to specific spots on a Character. Note that at this time this fix applies exclusively to Custom Story content
• The Mug item will now use the correct Inventory icon. It will no longer share the same Inventory icon as the Coffee Cup item
• Adjusted collider sizes for all Bracing Spots so they do not as easily overlap with other Interactive Items that may have been dropped onto/near them. This fixes an issue where the Dildo could not be interacted with sometimes after having been freed from the chandelier
• Doors will no longer attempt to force a child collider to be a Trigger if said collider is both a MeshCollider and Concave. This will eliminate certain (generally nuisance) errors that could occur any time certain Doors were opened, either during play or when loading a save file
• Cleaned up a number of Derek’s voice lines that had artifacts or other minor issues

1.0.5
(Beta Release 11/21/2022)

• Fixed an issue that could prevent a Character’s “climax” or other intimacy SFX from playing to…completion
• Fixed an issue that could cause StrapOn position and rotation to become permanently corrupted when certain cutscenes were played
• Characters that are actively playing their looped “oral” SFX will no longer be considered “speaking”, which was preventing some randomization of BlendShapes from taking place during POV/Legacy intimacy
• Spiced up the BlendShapes used during several POV/Legacy intimacy acts, including but not limited to, “MakingOut” and “SixtyNine”. They are now 42.0% more representative of the ecstasy one might feel IRL. “Might” is doing some heavy lifting in this patch note
• The “bottom” Character in POV/Legacy “SixtyNine” intimacy will more believably look at the funbits of their partner, most notably if the partner is female
• The CharInfo Console Command will now display what role a Character is taking in a POV/Legacy intimacy act, if applicable
• The “giving” Character in POV/Legacy “Cunnilingus” intimacy will more believably look at the funbits of their partner, and no longer let their gaze wander as easily to…whatever might be around
• Cleaned up behaviors for a handful of POV/Legacy positions that could prevent Characters from looking at their partner, when appropriate
• When giving oral to a male NPC, the “giving” Character’s mouth will open more consistently, and to a degree that is specifically appropriate for their partner’s titanitude. Or lack of such a thing
• Fixed a bug that was interfering with all InteractiveStates.UnableToOpenLabiaOrAsshole on/off behavior outside of CutScenes. For various “penetrative” intimacy acts that involve the female player or female NPCs, this being off will now have an effect. I can’t believe the patch notes I write
• Fixed an issue that could cause customized DisplayNames for Characters to not be used in the BGCUI Text Display and Opportunity Window
• To prevent being dropped and accidentally lost, the Whipped Cream will now be highlighted in the grass if dropped outside
• The following will look much better when mounted to an NPCs right hand, most notably when used in conjunction with a HoldingADrink… State: Empty Vodka, Whack Spankiels/Whiskey, Red solo cups, Chardonnay, Cabernet, Soda, Whipped Cream

• If applicable, the CutScene.EndScene Game Event will try to end whichever versions of a CutScene (censored or uncensored) that may be playing, if supplied with the name of an uncensored scene. However, if supplied with the censored version, it will only try to end that specific, censored version of the CutScene
• If applicable, when the OnAfterCutSceneEnds Event Trigger is supplied with the name of an uncensored version of a CutScene, it will fire in the event that either the uncensored or censored version of the CutScene ends. However, if supplied with the name of a censored version of a CutScene, it will only fire if the Censored version of that CutScene ends
• CSC: Added CutScene GameEvent option to end any scene involving the player
• CSC: The OnAfterCutSceneEnds Event Trigger will now fire just before the CutScene removes itself from the internal Currently Playing collection, which will allow Story Creators to successfully use CutScene-type Criteria within the Event Trigger’s root criteria

• If a CutScene needs to fall back to a POV/Legacy Intimacy Act, these random selections will now be better tailored to various gender-specific configurations of Characters. I.e., Female-Female CutScene fallbacks will prefer to use new Scissoring Acts etc., rather than Acts more suited to Male-Female or Male-Male pairings
