This version is outdated, see the latest update here!

Edit: Very poor naming conventions in last update release. Shipped with a scenes named "HuCowSimulatorDemo_4_5" and "HuCowSimulatorDemo_4_6" accidentally.. but the demo_4_5 scene was actually the updated scene, not 4_6! Updated the whole thing to be a straightforward Version 7 in the latest mega link.
The only changes I've made are renaming files for clarity. For the few of you who installed the latest update before fixing the mega link.. If you don't want to reinstall from mega, just use the scene called "HuCowSimulatorDemo_4_5" with no icon (and preferably rename it to something more clear on your end)

This version is mainly dedicated to paying tech debt and bugfixing, since holiday obligations restrict how many big features I can really sink my teeth into. Targets for next update are to rework the dialogue system and get some semblance of a story progression down, flesh out some more items, and get some more dynamic animations going. Maybe the foundations of a ‘desktop mode’ optimized for desktop use, since I’m discovering many users are interested in playing this outside of VR- and the interactive milking & injectable elements are really clunky if used as is with a mouse.

Still have *Demo tag; expect hiccups! While it works seamless on my machine(s), some bugs are still bound to occur. If you see something that you think is a bug or misbehaving: Contact me here or on Discord so I can whip up a patch and fix it for everyone! Some misbehavior and bugs may be fixed by using the "emergency reload" button behind you, or relaunching the scene.

---- V 0.7 (this version) ----

- Foundation for “Affect” system: Sweet foods, trying on new clothes and milking will increase happiness. Injections or leaving breasts full will cause unhappiness. Neglecting unmilked breasts will make the hucow increasingly unhappy, and cause breasts to get red and irritated. Currently, affect effects nothing, but it's still being recorded in your save file, and will come in to play later...

- New Save Slot system: allows for saving, loading and resetting with 3 save ‘slots’.

- Option to enforce symmetry on breasts: hardlocks any future growth to be spread evenly, and uneven breasts to grow towards symmetry if enabled.

- Option to disable the fading in/out animation on menu transitions. This improves performance.

- Balance changes: Raised the amount of money gained from working, and lowered the threshold to sell contents of a milk container to 66% full. Later versions will have different sized containers to better accommodate different hucows production rates.

- Many bugfixes with the closet, milk container, and breast behavior.

---- V 0.4 ----

-New inventory system

-New automatic file save system

-Tentatively addressed bug where some users had preset.vap’s fail to install correctly

-2 new stores, in addition to previously existing clothes store

-14 new items (3 items are currently placeholders, to be fully implemented later), one new outfit

-New drinking, injection animations, placeholder eating animation

-Supplement feature: different supplements cause different effects, which decay over time at a rate inverse to the volume of their consumption

-Injectable feature: different injectables cause different effects on a per-breast basis, be sure to buy two of each, and use them on either breast for them to remain symmetrical

---- V 0.2, 0.3 hotfix ----

- Misc Bug Fixes, performance improvements, misc polish

- Milk can be collected in a bucket, stored in a container and sold once filled

- Showcase of basic dialogue system

- Colliders slightly improved at largest WG sizes

---- V 0.1  ----

- Milking, lactation mechanic

- Showcase basic breast expansion progression

- Showcase basic weight gain progression

- Date, time, currency, item inventory system

- Clothes store

---- Features WIP ----

- Finish advanced lactation, milking, WG mechanics. Alternate methods of delivery/collection

- More performance options to the settings menu

- More Items, food, drinks with various effects

- More Item related 'minigames'

- Advanced Affect mechanic (current mood, relationship strength, etc)

- Advanced Dialogue, branching dialogue and alternate routes

- Relationship progression mechanic

- Misc scripted events

- Misc polish on menus, feature navigation

- Morph Optimization

- Option to load alternate/custom characters (without breaking things)

- Option to load and buy custom outfits

- ‘Desktop Mode’ support

---- Known Bugs ----

- On first load or selecting a new save slot for the first time, an ‘unable to load preset’ error message will occur, this occurs once and can be disregarded

- Dialogue doesn't save between game saves, and will repeat between sessions. This will be addressed when writing the new dialogue system

- Saving/loading the scene outside of the Primary Menu may break something. The scene auto saves your progress; no need to hit save, ever!

- Double-click any button quickly at your own risk; nothing extra should happen, but it will probably break something

Do I have to erase the previous version? the new version opens the old scene/save. with the outfit glitch? so I think I must have done something wrong here? how do I even reset the hucow?

I realize now that I've mistakenly shipped a version that contains scenes labeled "4_6" and "4_5", where 4_5 is actually the latest one.. I've now updated the Mega link to a new version that should have everything clearly named as v7 The only changes I've made are renaming files for clarity. If you don't want to reinstall from mega, just use the scene called "HuCowSimulatorDemo_4_5" with no icon (and preferably rename it to something more clear on your end)

Hey, sorry to bug ya. In previous versions as well as this one, the scene functions just fine, but it has always been missing the walls of the room. The door is just there and behind the couch it fades into a black void. Is this something I mucked up? Tried just adding walls in VAM but I believe its a locked feature on the VAM page or some such.

Wulf

I think I have a problem from my side I don't really know but the Scrap injector is not working like it goes in but doesn't uses the capsules. What is the reason for that? I have the dependencies from the list maybe a wrong version on one of them ?

bury_she
>>124940681

In about 3 versions or so ago I removed the walls and just left them removed. The last solution was just a textureless beige cube, which I wasnt fond of. Despite being a placeholder, it was still really detracting with how bland it was, so I pulled it. I'm going to be adding proper walls once I have a better solution for something convincing enough to be unobtrusive, probably when I get some good drywall textures and make some trim objects. I'll probably add option to toggle placeholder walls on next version for those who would prefer something, even if bland- over the eternal void

bury_she
>>124951135

Make sure you have a capsule loaded into the top of the injector, and push the injector enough to collide with the breast. Collision is only detected on the base of the needle where it meets the injector, so depending on the breast size, you may need to push it further than you'd think. A complete injection trigger causes the capsule to pop off the injector. If it's not triggering an injection despite you thoroughly pushing it in, there may be an issue with your dependencies or a hiccup on my end. To ensure you have all the correct dependencies, drag and drop all the files from the zipped file on mega into your Addonpackages folder. If you're still running into issues after trying this, let me know

Czyzman
>>124940681

Gotcha! I was just a little lost since your screenshots seem to have the walls in place. Nevermind then! :)

Wulf
>>124951135

I tried again but the injector loaded with capsule just dances around the tip of breast. I tried shrinking the breast size to almost nothing but still no hope injector goes back and forth around breast. It looks like injector knows where it has to go but there is no action is happening after it reaches and keeps trying. I did drag and dropped everything into addonpackages.

Hi, I'm confused. I see that this is a collection of data flies, but I have no idea what software is used to run them? I've heard this runs in VR and Desktop?

bury_she
>>125163600

You need to head to MeshedVR's patreon to download the base game VirtaMate - then drag and drop these data files into the AddonPackages folder. After that, you can select this scene from within VirtaMate and play it in either VR or Desktop (VR recommended)

Wulf
>>124951135

Is there any idea what might be the reason ?

MrHHH
>>125163600

Ok, downloaded VaM, dragged all the files into AddonPackages, and I'm not seeing any way to load them up from within VaM. I was assuming there was a prebuilt scene? Am I building a scene using other models, and using your packages as a way to Hucow them?

bury_she
>>125163600

in "open scene" or "all scenes browser" you should find a new "HuCowSimulatorDemo_7" file, that will open the scene If you want to add horns, spots, etc to another scene, the included JaxZoa's "MooLook" asset includes everything you need, and iirc contains some presets you can select from the Appearance Preset pane

bury_she
>>124951135

I assume you're running it on desktop? The injector will auto-point but not auto-seek, and if playing with mouse, requires you to readjust your camera to get the angle right in order to 'drag' it towards the breast. This is one of the interactable' s that are not optimized for Desktop, and are going to be addressed with a "Desktop Mode" later I've posted a clip on discord https://discord.com/channels/1032420145081090129/1032460308058472489/1188262574446362674 of what it should look like. If your version isn't behaving like that, then there's probably a bug I need to address

Wulf
>>124951135

Thank you for your help and happy holidays. Yes I play on desktop most of the time. I checked the previous version and its working on that one but not the latest version. it seems some element is missing on breast I think. The weird part is though it seems I am the only one having this issue I guess

Ares

Move over baldurs gate there’s a new game of the year in town. Was especially good when she started getting really huge. Which prompts the question (though I think I know the answer based on what stage I’m at) where’s the upper limit? Like just how big can I make those udders and belly? Also, are there plans to give her different poses? Fantastic game

BallisticTitanX
>>125163600

So I've unpacked all the files from the Zip into the AddonPackages folder, and there's still no scene? It's just all the base ones that come with the game, and checking 'hidden scenes' doesn't bring it up either.

Xabazoo

same as ballistic, trying all, cant see any scene, downloaded the newest version, but never shows any scene, put it in all packagesfolder.. trying for hours.... :/

Leon Chris

Eyes bulge out of head during glancing, what controls it or is there a fix?

bury_she

There's two options to open a scene, either 'open scene' or 'all scene browser', it may show up in one and not the other. Double check your addonpackages is in the correct directory- you can test this by downloading any random thing from the Hub browser ingame, and it should show up as a .var in that folder as well. If it doesn't, you're in the wrong spot Make sure when you unzip, you only unzip the base folder, and drag and drop it's contents in- if you unzip the included var and move its contents in, that won't work LMK if you're still having issues after checking this

That sounds like an issue where a default morph got overwritten by a packages included morphs, either that, or some very deep unknown bug I haven't seen yet. Please upload a screenshot to the discord and @ me there

bury_she
>>125861022

Yes, new poses in the mix. Aim is to have something a lot more dynamic than a standing simulator. Current 'upper limit' is temporary- had to scale it back from an earlier version. Any larger requires further custom morphs, and playing with colliders to ensure no physics explosions or perpetual vibration syndrome

2024-02-10 14:16:06 Is there other instruction than " unzip, drag and drop all files into AddonPackages folder". Because when I load the scene all I get is a pitch black scene that nothing works in it.

Are there any error messages that occur in the error log? The scene staying black would be symptomatic of plugins failing to load or not being found, but neither should occur with all the files moved to addonpackages folder (or if you moved them while VaM was running- that would be fixed by just closing/reopening VaM)

Henry
>>128782613

No errors message, but it ask me if I want to allow _bury.HuCow_Simulator_Demo.7 I press allow always or allow this time and nothing happens, the window is still there. The button works, it's clickable but nothing.

Henry
>>128782613

NVM, I managed to make it works, I don't know how. I just loaded the scene until it worked, and now it's working each time.

Orphelia

Really cool sofar, can't wait to see where it goes. I just got vam and this so not sure if it's set right,but is there meant to be any sound while playing? If there is I think something broke my end

bury_she
>>129048650

Currently there is no SFX for this scene; you're not missing anything (WIP!)

Lucifer Misanthropia
>>128782613

I am having this exact issue. I was only able to get version 5 to run. I saw your reply about managing to somehow make it work but without knowing how and I am hoping I will have the same luck!

bury_she
>>128782613

You may have to mess with your permissions settings (I think users running VaM >1.21 have reset permissions for plugins, and different settings for changing them) iirc there's a button to reset all permissions, if you're still loading on a black screen despite having every plugin installed; it may be that one is not 'allowed' for whatever reason due to misclick or something. I'd reset all permissions and reclick through them all to "Allow Each Time" on the next scene load

Any news/eta possible for the next update? Really like where this project has gone and really excited to see where it's going.

Take a peek in the discord for concurrent status updates, ETA and features WIP. I make a point not to post to the patreon and send Everybody a notification with anything unless it's Content
