I'll check the free version link to make sure it's working.

*heavy sigh* No, it does not run on an a Android.

Already in the game.

NeonStrip – Dev Update (0.33.0a Progress)

Development on Version 0.33.0a has been focused heavily on expanding world interaction, improving NPC systems, and continuing the long-term foundation work for Moon City.

A large part of this update is centered around making the game world feel more dynamic and immersive instead of static.

🌴 Map Expansion & Exploration

Work continues on extending the island map to improve exploration and driving freedom.

New roads, environmental areas, and coastal routes are being added to make the world feel larger and more connected. The goal is to make driving around Moon City feel more open and immersive.

🧠 NPC Social Systems

One of the biggest foundations currently being developed is the new Social Group System.

NPCs are beginning to: • Socialize together • Chat with each other dynamically • React in groups • Create more believable ambient world behavior

This system is still evolving, but it is a major step toward making the city feel alive.

👥 NPC Follow Mechanic

The NPC Follow System is now fully functional.

Players can now: • Ask NPCs to follow them • Stop followers through dialogue/actions • Use interaction-based commands with NPCs

This lays the groundwork for deeper companion and relationship mechanics in future updates.

🎮 Interaction Improvements

A new scrollable interaction action menu has been added.

Instead of simply displaying “Interact,” the UI now shows direct actions and interaction options more cleanly and responsively.

Additional interaction and dialogue improvements are also being worked on.

✨ Character Creator Improvements

The Character Creator continues to receive updates and refinements.

Current work includes: • Facial morph customization • UI improvements • Expanded customization options • Ongoing wardrobe support improvements

The goal is to continue pushing player customization much further.

🧠 AI Dialogue Improvements

A new smaller and smarter AI dialogue model has been integrated.

This new model aims to: • Improve NPC response quality • Improve consistency in conversations • Reduce performance overhead • Create more natural interactions

🚧 Overall Development Focus

Current development priorities include: • NPC immersion systems • Social AI behavior • Exploration & map expansion • Character customization • Interaction systems • Performance & stability improvements

Moon City continues to evolve with every update.

More development updates soon. 💜

No, sorry, just English right now.  I'll try to add more languages soon.

There are problems with the Save System.  I am currently trying to fix.  The next version should fix the issue.

Which version are you playing?

There is no bait, but it does seem like I need more labels to clarify which is free and paid. 

NeonStrip – Dev Update (0.30.0a Progress)

This month has been focused on expanding core systems and laying foundations for larger gameplay loops coming soon.

Version 0.30.0a introduces several major structural additions — some of which are partially implemented and still evolving.

🏬 Shop System (Foundation Phase)

Shops have been added across the world.

They are currently partially implemented and not fully usable yet.
This update lays the groundwork for:

• Item purchasing

• In-world shop interactions

• Future economy expansion

• Integration with romance & gift systems

Expect continued improvements in upcoming builds.

👗 Wardrobe System (In-Game Customization)

You can now customize clothing while in-game.

This system will expand with:

• More outfit slots

• Additional clothing types

• Better UI flow

• Integration with shop purchases

⚧ New Trans-Female Option (Character Creator)

A new gender option has been added to the Character Creator.

⚠️ Important: This feature is not fully complete yet and may not function as expected in all systems.

Further refinement and animation support will continue in the next builds.

🎥 Romance System Improvements

• Added FPS Cinemachine camera for intercourse scenes

• Expanded scene flow logic

• Continued development of new positions and interactions

More content for the adult romance system is currently in development.

🌆 Performance & World Improvements

• Implemented subscenes for better performance and streaming

• Replaced volumetric clouds with layered clouds (performance boost)

• Tweaked ambient occlusion

• Improved camera focus targets in Character Creator

• Post-processing refinements

The world should feel smoother overall, especially in larger areas.

What’s Next?

The next updates will focus on:

• Completing the shop system

• Expanding romance content & positions

• Refining the trans-female implementation

• Expanding character customization

• Deepening world interactivity

This build represents structural progress — the systems are being assembled for something bigger.

Thank you to everyone testing and supporting development. More updates coming soon.

NeonStrip – 3D Adult Dating Sim (In Development)

Hi everyone 👋

I’m currently developing NeonStrip, a 3D adult dating/life-sim set in a neon-soaked coastal city, inspired by nightlife culture, freedom, and consequences.

This devlog will be used to share teasers, small updates, experiments, and progress as the game evolves. The goal here isn’t to advertise a finished product, but to show how NeonStrip is being built over time — systems, visuals, ideas, and sometimes things that break along the way.

🌆 What is NeonStrip?

NeonStrip is a sandbox-style adult dating sim where you explore an open city, meet NPCs with distinct personalities, and build (or ruin) relationships through dialogue, choices, and actions.

Key pillars of the game:

• Open-world exploration (day & night cycle)

• Relationship-driven gameplay

• NPC attraction, mood, and memory systems

• Dialogue that reacts to how you play, not just what you click

• A strong neon / nightlife aesthetic

The focus is on player agency — how you approach characters, how consistently you treat them, and how your behavior shapes future interactions.

🛠 Current Development Focus

Right now, development is centered around:

• Improving NPC interaction flow

• Polishing dialogue, pacing, and reactions

• Performance and stability improvements

• Expanding relationship mechanics and NPC behavior

This is an ongoing project, and many systems are being refined iteratively.

📸 What to Expect in This Devlog

I’ll be posting:

• Visual teasers and screenshots

• Short clips and previews

• Small gameplay updates

• System breakdowns (when interesting)

• Occasional questions or polls for feedback

Updates here will be bite-sized and visual-first, with bigger release details handled elsewhere.

💬 Feedback Welcome

If something catches your eye, feels confusing, or sparks a question — feel free to comment. Thoughtful feedback is always appreciated and often influences what I work on next.

Thanks for checking out NeonStrip, and welcome to the devlog.

The performance in the player's house is understandable.  I have noticed this issue, and I addressed it within the new version, which is coming soon.

I'm glad you are enjoying the game.  The FPS counter should be working correctly.  I'll look into it.  Which buildings are dropping in performance, if I might ask?  I know the house you start in has  performance issues, but the other buildings should not give you issues in performance

Thank you, it's a work in progress.  More development coming soon.

Thanks for letting me know, I just updated it.

Thank you, I want to give you guys something refreshing in games.   As an older gamer, most of these games I play these days just seem to be created using the same formula.

A very odd question to ask, from someone who has enabled NSFW games to be visible on their own account.  Didn't you comment "great game" in one of these "porn" games? 

There was an issue with the file size being over 20 GB. I went ahead and fixed the issue.  The file size should now be around 5 GB.

There is a bug that doesn't allow you to leave the conversation if you don't input anything.  I'm dropping a new test update soon with the fix.  The NPC should respond to you.  If you reach out to me on Discord, I can help you with any of your issues playing the game.

Thanks for trying my game, can you tell me what kind of performance were you getting or Frames on average?

thanks man

Do you have a widescreen monitor?  I have not set up the game for a resolution on that scale.  I believe the resolution only goes up to 3840 x 2160.

Thank you, I will try to fix these issues. Which version did you play by the way?

Are you unable to access the link?  The links are labeled Free if its free to play.

thanks me too

Can you elaborate?

Hello friends,

Welcome to Heat Wave's new community board.  This community board is open to discussing anything related to the Heat Wave project or just chatting. 

I hope to chat with you all soon.  Thanks for stopping by.

Blast.

Thank you,  the next build is taking a lot longer but I am revamping the whole game and pushing it further.

The game is playable for mid to high end computers, I saw your specs and you don't have the hardware to run the game.  If you like games with AI or just AI in general they unfortunately require a good GPU and a lot of ram to run.

lol, they are 3d adult games.

Also btw is the game is in the early stages of development, I don't understand why you guys don't understand that a game in early stages of development would be fully optimize especially from one indie developer.

I understand,  this game is pretty expensive on the hardware and does require a good computer to run.  Send me your specs of your PC on my discord servers and maybe I can try to develop my game with your spec in mind.  I have a mid to high end computer,  I don't have a low end device to test on.  If you would like to play the game, join my server and I send you a test copy to help get it to play on your device.

I will update the link, thanks for letting me know.

thanks mane, will do

Yes, it's in the future roadmap.

That is a issue, that I the developer have to fix.  The new AI chat system is a new feature in a project that still in development.  It's new tech that has not been fully implemented in a sandbox system before.  I am working out the issues with it and implementing a save feature with in the next build.

Yeah, one of the concerns from the last build.  It's on top of my list to get fixed in the next build.  The AI chat system is the main culprit for the lag, a new feature introduced in the last build.  I'm looking into more optimized solutions for this.  Thank you for trying out my game.

I recommend a Nvidia 3070 RTX or higher.
