  DNA targeting improved + bug fixes

  New features and improvementsCompletely rewrote the DNA targeting algorithm from scratch. Lux will now always turn to face an enemy in RHETT’s line-of-sight; i.e. whatever the game’s camera can see. The new algorithm looks for the most-centred enemies first, and then targets the closest one of those. She can now cast DNA attacks while running and the whole mechanic is much more performant. Shaders are now compiled the first time you run the game. This reduces stutter and hitches during performance-heavy gameplay such as combat.The blood effects on Lux are more intense, and they now fade as her health regeneratesTweaked the camera lag settings to smooth out camera movement (except when aiming, where lag is disabled)Added some guides to make the entrances in Lux’s Place easier to find. There are currently two entrances: one at the front and one at the back. Bug fixesThe video call from Dylan (Lux’s dad) in Kijimi Hospice was being rendered as a white square. Fixed.Footstep sounds were wrong when Lux was barefoot. Fixed.If Lux was hit and temporarily disarmed while firing her rifle, it would continue to fire. Fixed.Lux couldn’t jump after exiting Pose ‘n’ Shoot. Fixed.The Progress screen was showing graffiti as 1/28, even at the start of a new game. Fixed.There was a hole in the landscape in Lux’s Place. Fixed.Other changesGore and fan service are now disabled by default for new installs - you have to “opt in”.

  New features and improvementsPose ‘n’ Shoot: Lux can now be photographed in preset poses, anywhere in the game. This replaces the old Photo Mode and can be accessed via a remappable key at Options > Controls > Key Bindings > Global > Pose ‘n’ ShootA new “Flex” loot type is now dropped by enemies. Each Flex loot drop unlocks a new pose in the Pose ‘n’ Shoot library. God knows why enemies are carrying these.Added language support for Spanish (Latin America), Thai and VietnameseChanged Lux’s flashlight - it’s now a virtual light source that RHETT projects in front of her. This makes it much more stable and useful - it doesn’t flail around any more when Lux moves. The flashlight itself has also been removed so there’s less clutter on Lux herself. Lux’s weapons can now be hidden when not in use (Options > Gameplay > Lux > Hide Weapons)Lux can now go barefootDamage to Lux’s clothes is now persistent across sessions. She can always get a fresh set of clothes by visiting the Dressing Room.Performance improvements:Reduced memory requirements for all machinesImproved shadow performance on older GPUs if Medium quality preset is selectedBug fixesThere was a serious bug with controller support that I’d missed: it was completely broken when equipping clothes and style studio items. Fixed.Fixed a bug that overlapped clothing when Tactical Underdress was equippedSome of Lux’s shoes would disappear when she crouched. Fixed.Lux was often getting stuck just running over debris and the severed limbs of dead enemies. Fixed.Fixed mesh poke-through on the leather choker (in Dressing Room > Extras)Fixed issues when Lux wears high boots with long pantsNew known issuesAnimated graph no longer appears when RHETT speaks. This build moves the game to a new release of Unreal Engine (5.8), which has several performance fixes. However, it’s introduced a bug in the audio sampler, which causes the build to freeze if we use it for RHETT’s spectrum graph. I’ve disabled it temporarily and logged it wit...
