New DLC contains the "DIY" EP in the installation folder. Thank you for your time and attention in this cluttered world. <3

The big change this time around is the addition of compression-level subtexturing for large images, and subtexturing during font generation. The game should now use smaller blocks of allocated memory rather than a single large block to upload image data. This means the "out of memory despite there being tons of memory available" bug should be sorted out. It should also hopefully allow the game to run the JP translation much more smoothly.

Also fixed the irritating Strange Key bug.

Stay tuned to official announcements for updates on in-game events and more.

• Fixed an issue where remapped movement buttons made sprint, dash, and climb not work properly.

• Fixed an issue where remapped movement buttons were reset after restarting the game.

• Other minor bugfixes and optimizations.

Our team is animating a very special moment for the story of FreshWomen - a threesome scene with Julia and Chloe.



Many of you have been asking for more interactions with Julia, and we’re sure this scene will be a powerful one.

We decided to share a preview of this work.
Hope you enjoy it!

Patch 1.4.2

• Tried to fix crashes related to dying by overheat

• Master Volume Fix:
  Master volume slider now correctly adjusts all sound classes, ensuring consistent audio control across the entire game.

• Ore Spawn Pooling Fix:
  Resolved a pooling issue that could cause ore nodes to fail spawning entirely in some areas. You should now see a much more consistent and satisfying amount of ores when digging.

• Underground Object Air Holes:
  World terrain now clears around key underground objects (like chests and gem clusters) at runtime, creating air pockets to make them easier to discover and dig out.

• New Stamina Ore Tiers:
  Introduced three different tiers of Stamina Ore, each spawning at specific depths. These ores provide minor stamina boosts to help during deeper digging runs.

• Low-End Machine Invoker Fix:
  Fixed an issue where starting areas would not load fast enough on lower-end machines. World generation is now more responsive and reliable at spawn.

• Auto Save Edit Lock (Multiplayer):
  Voxel edits are now temporarily disabled during Auto Save, preventing game freezes that could cause connection loss for clients.

  • Auto Save is enabled by default (saves every 25 minutes).

  • You can disable it in Settings if you prefer manual saves using the house computer or by quitting cleanly.

This new major update brings light simulation with ray tracing, as well as some quality of life additions and bug fixes.

Changelog:

• Added ray-traced light simulation

• Added "Optics" tab

• Added new tools menu

• Added "Long Exposure" feature

• Added new presets showcasing the new optics features

• Added new basic stats for optics (enable optics to see them)

• Improved UI readability

• Galaxy Engine now uses 16 bits-per-channel color data internally. This enables more accurate colors, especially for dark values.

I decided to go for a PBR approach, meaning that you can make scenes and modify materials similar to how you would in a traditional 3D path tracer. The lighting simulation does approximate some things more than others, like energy conservation and dispersion.

The ray tracer is geometry-based, which means that it doesn't use mathematical functions for shapes. Instead, shapes are made out of individual edges, again, similar to 3D rendering tools. This means that walls and shapes have edge normals and vertex normals. These normals allow smooth shading while using actual geometry.

All that said, here is a list of features the ray tracer showcases:

Diffuse lighting

Specular reflections

Refraction

Emission

Specular roughness

Refraction roughness

Fresnel simulation

Index of Refraction (IOR)

Nested dielectrics with different IOR

Light dispersion

Total internal reflection

Sampling with ray accumulation

Wall creation

Draw shape tool

Lens creation tool

Circle creation tool

Diffuse color editing

Specular color editing

Refraction color editing

Emission color editing

Light color editing

Shape relaxation

Point lights

Area lights

Cone lights

Light spread

Here you can see a video that showcases some of the new features:

I have a background in 3D rendering, and now that I know how to code, I thought to myself: "I could make my own ray tracer!" And so, this is why I started working on this update. It was a fun experiment, and I'm glad that I did it. But now that I've finally finished it, I'm getting back to particles.

I hope you like it!
