Yes, that is what the next update will be featuring as a major focus. Before this we had a working inverse kinematics system, basically, this means you can grab the girls and move their bodies around as you like, you could enter a sex animation with them and then move them freely. However, it was a little awkward so we are simply refining it to be far more pleasant.
Here is how the system will be presented in the full game. You take on bounties from your employer who will ask things like "take a photo of the bunny monster doing this and doing that" once you have completed enough bounties, the bunny monster girl will become more familiar with you and allow you to get closer. Once close enough you can enter into play mode with her where you can do things like give head pats and give them gifts (maybe). If your familiar level is high enough and you play with them enough they will "present" themselves before you and you can begin having sex with them.
The whole petting and sex system are in the same mode, basically, when you enter it you lose control of your player and you get a kinda orbital camera on the girl, and you can rotate and inspect the girl. Your mouse then becomes your hand, and using the hand you can touch, pull, finger, rub, slap, different parts of their bodies as you like. You can also swap your mouse pointer to be other things like a tongue, penis (if you have one), or tools like dildos, feathers, whips, etc. With tools like dildos or penis you basically set them up on a hole, feet, breasts, hands, etc and you choose the speed at which they move along the spline course. We have some nice ripple tech in the game so things like breasts and butt cheeks will ripple and slap in a nice way. The biggest hurdle we are trying to overcome is that when you grab the girls right now any animations they have will stop, so our goal would be to get it to a state where you could set up a penis tool banging away on a lower hole (like the anus for example) then swivel the camera to the mouth and put a dildo in there and do the same thing, then you can play with the breasts as the animations of the monster girl getting railed plays out.
Finally, we want there to be a button you can hit to just cum, so any tools or penis's currently animating will then enter into a cum state and shoot dynamic ropes of cum inside and around the girl.
That is what we are working on, how does all that sound to you?

I guess, seeing an alpha release I expected like, actual content of some type. I really feel like knowing the limits of it I would have waited for the next patch as it seems to actually be more than some models in a field.
I'm happy that you guys are working hard on it and I'm looking forward to seeing a more full experience, but it just feels like a lackluster way to launch the alpha.
Alphas by the definition of the word are as contentless as it comes. It is right now working examples of our core gameplay loops, the next patch will have working examples of our sex and intimacy mechanics. Following that it will be the meta loop and progression systems. If you're looking for the game to have a large amount of content I would hold off purchasing until we get to the beta stage, which is all mechanics and systems in place, and a focus on content expansion begins.
Having said that you'll have access to all content patches and updates this game will receive forever. So it's not a big deal breaker to play a little earlier and help influence our content directions.
Let me put it like this. As it stands, you are charging 15 bucks for what is essentially a bunch of models with walk cycles walking around in a field. I'm sure there is a decent game coming here but this really feels like it needed more time in the oven before this came out. And judging by a few of the other comments ive seen too, I'm not the only one that thought there was going to be at least SOMETHING here. I understand what an alpha is. I'm not expecting a full working game, hell ,I wouldn't expect that for a good while now.
I would rather think this is a case of bad communication of what was coming out in this initial release rather than what to expect.
Out of curiosity, is there any plan for a "progressive" system with the sex acts? As in, actions working toward a climax, either in yourself or the monster girl, or both. Or is it to be more "have fun until you push the cum-button"?
For that matter, are the monster girls going to be able to climax at all, or is it just the player?
You will build-up to the final moment, and so will she, you both can independently climax or at the same time. She can also get frustrated if you do things wrong, or touch the wrong part. Also yes there is a progressive nature to the sex that is tied into the mechanics of the game aka the girls being more familiar with you leads to more intimate sex acts.
