Records from Censura

  • New sex content:
    • Cum
    • Piledriver position
  • Lots of bug fixes
  • Removed the launcher

Hey everyone!

If you ever had graphical or stability issues with the game, this is the update that should fix everything.

Issues like objects turning all black (or white & red), crashes when entering a new area, or the game not launching at all, they’re hopefully a thing of the past now!

New renderer


⚠️ Short freezes will occur when running the game, but only at first ⚠️

Apparently, some shaders are dodging the pre-compilation stage, and that causes stutters when they first appear on screen. It only happens the first time though, I’m working on it.


It took forever, but the whole game has been ported to a different renderer, internally called the Compatibility Renderer.

As the name suggests, that one is better supported, has more mature drivers, should run a bit smoother, at the cost of some visual limitations. This also means the game will look a bit different (color management, among a million other things is different), but the visuals are not final and will keep evolving with your feedback.

And since I was working on the renderer, I took the opportunity to change a few things, like the half-tone shadows. I really like how they keep a solid color, without losing the shape of the objects below.

But the pattern is not stable (yet) when the camera moves. If that’s an issue to you, or if you just don’t like that look, you can turn off this effect in the settings panel.

(The size of the dots and the area of effect can be tweaked if you still like the effect but want it to be more subtle)

Cum

This is still early, but when climaxing, characters who can cum will cum.

The option is already active for characters with a penis, but you can turn it on for strap-ons too in the character editor (in the genitals tab).

Facials are planned but couldn’t make it on time sadly. I need to make a new animation for each position and that takes a lot of time.

Re-balanced economy

Videos will sell for more money and some tags will grant more rewards than before. This will be useful later when I add the other in-game shops!

Bug fixes

Hair and face

  • Fix the pony tail clipping through the characters’ back
  • Fix Flare’s hair clipping through her head when laying down or bending backwards
  • Fix the eye color appearing almost black when in shadows.
  • Fix a visual issue with the character’s mouth during oral
  • Fix black and green eyes when opening the character editor
  • Fix eyes showing in front of hair and sunglasses
    • Because I’m doing something unconventional with my character models, the eyes used to clip in weird ways, but not anymore.
    • (I might be able to bring back that effect in a more controlled way though)

Ignore the different lighting, I was testing other stuff at the same time

UI fixes

  • Fix the loading screen not showing up when launching the game, or when loading the first save
  • Don’t show the shortcut info panel if no shortcut is assigned to the button.
  • Fix speech bubbles sometimes clipping words at the end of some lines
  • Fix missing preview when saving a new preset
  • Fix missing character parts in the climax and game over panels

Other bug fixes

  • Fix the wall transparency with glory holes and library
  • Fix incorrect hand placement in some sex scenes (mainly cowgirl and blowjob through bars)
  • Fix the vulva sometimes lagging behind the player when naked
  • Fix the labia animation during penetration
  • Loading a preset will load the nipples & ears properly.
  • Small reduction in CPU usage.
  • Fix a bug causing the level geometry to spawn at the wrong place when fast traveling.
  • Starting a new game isn’t affected by the existing save state anymore.
  • Fix hands clipping through really thick hips and thighs when idling.
  • Fast travel should now trigger an autosave, just like when traveling from a level to another.

Thank you all for your patience and support, this game wouldn’t exist without you <3

The change of renderer not planned, meaning the full release date for the game is pushed back. It will be in 2026, but I can’t be more specific.

I assumed Vulkan was widely supported as a new standard but I was wrong. At least for the next game, I won’t make the same mistake again.

As always, let me know if there are any issues, for now I’m going to focus on more content!

Cheers!
