Hi All,

This is a quick post to let everyone know that Cherry VX has been updated. This update consists mainly of bugfixes, optimization of workflows and polishing. Focus was put on improving the interaction experience and rethinking production workflows to make it far easier to edit and update poses. Many other smaller issues were addressed too. As this update does not contain much new content or any new features so we're not considering it a 'major' update. Despite this, we've mainly been busy reworking the backend.

The most noticeable changes for the player is probably improvements to the interaction system. The sensitivity has been bumped up and a major bug which would unexpectedly break model interaction is now gone. The player's 'D' has new animations and is larger. These small changes should improve the moment-to-moment gamplay experience greatly.

Under the hood, we've totally rewritten how poses are edited to make the workflow much faster. However, the new approach required resetting all of the existing poses. This was a painstaking task that took a long time, but it gave us a chance to go beyond just a reset and improve the procedural IK animation for poses currently in the game. Besides a much needed spit-polish for all poses, this new approach will save a ton of time in the long run. For the player, the outcome of implementing the new pose creation workflow in this update is noticeably better looking model animation.

Although this update might seem minor on the surface, underneath it was a painful but necessary endeavour to set us up for greatly decreased iteration times. This translates to better artistic outcomes. Speaking of future updates, we're experimenting with AI (like everyone else) to see where it can take this game. AI can potentially impact all aspects of the game and from what we've played around with so far we're extremely excited for Cherry VX's future. Stay tuned!

Thanks for your continued support,

MAJOR UPDATE 5

Hi All,

Thanks again to everyone who has and continues to support this game on Steam and Patreon. It's the reason why we can keep working on the game. This update has a couple of new features and a bunch of QOL stuff. There's a little bit of new content too. New models are still in the pipeline and the folks at Patreon are helping us guide our production direction in that regard. If you would like to join in the surveys you might want to think about subbing to our Patreon .

Happy summer and we will be back soon with more updates.

Cheers,

THE POLYBAY TEAM

Performance Update for Cherry VX

No leftover turkey for us! Hard crunch over the weekend.

Following major update IV we had some reports of issues concerning performance on older hardware. Further investigation found that there was some serious 'over-rendering' of the models resulting in poor performance on older systems and stuttering when getting close to models on all systems. This update provides optimizations that have gone a long way in resolving these problems.

Also, some reported very long load times. This issue has also been resolved resulting in start up load times being decreased by about 80%.

Lastly, we fixed the issue of the player's 'D' flipping at unwanted times for Steam VR users, tweaked the pose animations to look better, prevented drifting errors (when rotating the platform or model) and squashed a bunch of other bugs.

See the detailed patch notes here.

Thanks for your patience regarding these issues and continuing support of Cherry VX.

Cherry VX - Major Update 4 is now live

APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE...
We have made some serious tweaks to the preset manager and as such current presets will no longer be compatible... for now. Your presets are still there we just don't have a means for you to access them right now. In future we will be including a preset converter so you can transfer your old presets. We ran out of time to include this in major update 4 but it will be a priority for the next one. Sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused. Please contact us on the Steam forum if you have any issues.

ABOUT MAJOR UPDATE 4

We know many are keen for new content but this most recent crunch was about polishing and finalizing Cherry VX's features and systems. We didn't want to jump the gun before adding new models, environments and props. A point of focus for this update was that many mentioned the clipping that occurred when interacting with models. We saw this as a real immersion-breaker so (after much experimentation) we devised a lightweight method of achieving not only a way to prevent clipping, but greatly increase the realism of physical interaction.

Please be aware that due to the high degree of detail you might come across visual bugs — despite some minor issues we are very happy with how it looks right now. Eradicating clipping was the main effort but there are a ton of other little improvements, additions and upgrades included in major update 4. Despite the lack of new content we hope you enjoy this update all the same.

WE COULD USE YOUR HELP

Regarding new content, we've been approached by a number of players asking if we're on Patreon so they can get involved in the production process. After some deliberation, we've decided to go ahead and set up an account to open up a channel for those who want to have direct input as Cherry VX is developed further. Besides pleasing players with desired content, ongoing patronage will ensure a bright future for the game. As I'm sure many of you know; good 3D art is very expensive and we want the best. Patreon support will allow us to hire pro artists and other specialists so Cherry VX can become the premier adult VR experience with expanding content and features.

This update includes a long-requested feature — advanced model customization. You can now create your own outfits, colorize clothing, skin, hair & eyes, and edit body parts using sliders to create wildly unique models. Customizations can be saved as presets and easily accessed via the new 'preset manager'. These new features will add some much needed variation to the current selection of models before new models/content arrives.

Speaking of new content, we will have some news relating to this in the near future so please keep an ear out.

Thanks again to all the players who've supported Cherry VX so far and we hope you enjoy this update.

* The model customizer is in beta because of the likelihood of non-showstopping visual bugs. Due to the very large number of customization combinations and the challenge of testing every combination there is a high potential for user-made presets being incompatible with some poses. These issues will be dealt with in due course.
