Environment Interaction (Patreon)

Hey,

This is a lil writeup of something I'm not sure many peeps will care about, but I think it will ultimately lead to much more immersive gameplay (for when there is some.)

I've built some systems for physically opening drawers and doors. The clip above is in Desktop mode but obviously VR is supported, and is where this feature will really add to the immersion. Door handles must be grabbed and turned to open them for a more tactile experience. 

I originally dev'd this system with some kind of voyeurism minigame in mind, where you have to sneak around the house quietly to see the girl doing some lewd stuff without her noticing you, but in general I think it will be a nice addition to future enviros regardless of the theme. 

I think features like this create an emphasis on making the player feel like a real person in the scene, which is important for VR especially, since there's a lot of potential for "presence" which IMO leads to way hotter experiences. 

I've also been improving the house environment with new textures and a little bit more detail outside of the girl's room, in prep for other scenes and some explorative gameplay at some point.

This environment will be included in the next build, and she'll probably be riding the rodeo machine with limited posing capability, as I want to test how dynamic animation + posing works.

Also despite the visual fidelity, this enviro should run better than the current two rooms that are available for selection, and hopefully has great VR performance, which I know is a problem that's affecting some VR players.

More specifics on the next build soon, thanks for the support everyone =D
