PLUGIN UPDATE: Alive v47 (files) (Patreon)

These next few Alive updates are focusing on getting a character system going in VAM. The lack of such a system has been a big road-block for me in improving the plugin. Many of the cool features a lot of people want can't really be done in VAM, except for a very superficial or isolated kind of way. But handling characters logic with vam's UI or an improvised scene UI would have been a nightmare, so I had to build a whole UI system first. Now that the UI is mostly out of the way, the next big step is focused on characters, their states and how they act and react to make them feel more alive and interesting, and for more sexier things in general.

NEW IN V47

This is update is mostly a lot of backend stuff and moving towards a new way of handling characters. The goal is to get rid of the old UI and handle the old person atom logic directly in the scene plugin, to have a single plugin again and everything in one place. But besides that and the cleanup there are also a few cool new things and fixes:

Tease and spank touch reactions have now better procedural expressions and they change in intensity based on the touch meters. Characters will express themselves more now if teased or spanked a lot. I'm not sure yet about caress touches if I'll bring them back or take them out. For now caress touches are just a desktop thing due to bugs they created for the arousal system, causing models to randomly moan.

When talking (the head audio source is playing sounds) models with Alive will now have more expressive eyes to make talking a bit more realistic. With the character system I plan to add more expressions. I'd like things like that to be character-driven. Some characters to be more expressive and some more shy, rather than doing just one or adding buttons and presets.

For people that wanted to get rid of the Alive Home city noises you can just close the balcony door now. When the door is closed the sounds will not play. It's also a persistent feature, so the next time you load the Alive Home scene it should be like you left it.
