Catching Heat 0.4.0

Disclaimer: These are beta-quality builds. Our AI artist is still in learning.  Do not expect visual quality.

How our system works

This week's changes include:

• Visual asset updates (using HD model)
• 4 new scenes
• New AI voice for Ceres powered by @EndymionVA
• 20 second cutscene (Euryale's dream)
• Fix: Display wrong image in Ceres/Elena pool scene

This is one of the most exciting releases we've worked on to date. First, we welcome the addition of Endymion as the AI voice of Ceres. Endymion joins MidnightDatura (Euryale) and EmpressBlue (Elena) and we can't say enough good things about these amazing VAs. In addition, we've built and trained 4 new scenes to help further the development of our characters.

Upcoming Schedule

• Jan 20: Update 0.5 training dataset
• Jan 25: 0.6 Development starts
• Feb 19-29: 0.5 Release

Housekeeping

Depending on what happens with the Euryale's Gambit demo reception (to be released Jan 29), we may switch CH to an every-other-month development cycle. Whether or not this happens depends on a lot of variables, but to be transparent, this is a heads up.

In addition, as announced before, CH 0.5 will be a quality update. No new scenes.
