Full rebuild update: clean UE5 base, upgraded heroine, systems rework, and bathroom animation WIP (18+)

Hi everyone!
After releasing the rough demo we went quiet — not because we stopped, but because we tore the project down to the studs and started rebuilding it properly.

Why the rebuild

When we tried to expand the demo, we ran into a pile of hidden bugs, messy legacy setup, and animation issues that would slow everything down if we kept patching. So we made a hard but right call: start from a clean UE5 project and re-implement the core systems the right way. This lets us update faster, keep stability, and grow the game long-term.

What we’ve already changed (done)

• Inventory & interactions — fully redesigned.
  Clear pickup highlights and on-screen action prompts; items are easy to see and use.

• Character controller — rebuilt.
  Smoother movement/camera, saner collisions, better feel on laptops.

• Settings menu — complete.
  Graphics presets, toggles, and input rebinding so you can choose your own keys.

• Autosave & pause — implemented.
  Safer session flow, no progress loss during exploration.

• New heroine model — more realistic + full facial rig.
  The old face setup was unreliable; we replaced it so facial expressions work across new animations.

• Performance & stability pass.
  Cleaner Blueprints, lower memory spikes, fewer hitches and startup warnings.

Content & animations (18+)

• We’re remaking all NSFW animations to a higher visual standard and consistent style.

• Bathroom animation is in production right now — today’s clip shows a small WIP slice.

Level structure & direction

• We rethought the overall direction: each location will be approached more globally — more mechanics per area, stronger presentation, and clearer moment-to-moment flow.

• Apartment and Forest were reblocked and their internal logic adjusted so the game naturally “leads” you (lighting, layout, item placement).

• Our goal is to move from a rough demo into a proper, maintainable project that we can keep expanding without fighting the foundation.

What this means for you

• We’re actively working and raising the bar across the board.

• In the next posts we’ll show the reworked build pieces: the upgraded heroine in-engine, the new interaction UI, the settings/rebind screen, and more 18+ WIP shots as they come together.

Thank you for your support and for the feedback.
