Churn Vector

Changelog

Patch 8d9b39de
Changes:
Added a new map, Tower! (Surely this will be a simple mission, right?)
Added a new pred enemy, the Maned Wolf! (Find them within the new map.)
Added foliage to some maps. It’s spring!
Added a new visibility indicator to the HUD.
Visibility is now in discrete levels. From 1x to 4x. Sprinting while holding someone gives you max visibility. Having larger balls permanently increases your visibility.
There is now a small buffer before NPCs begin to notice you. This prevents the audio/VFX “tickling” that happens when just briefly being visible.
Minimum and maximum detection time for NPCs has been drastically shortened. To help overcome the buffer, and to make them more predictable.
NPC count has been reduced for most maps because they are now much better at seeing the player
Characters now face where they’re sprinting rather than where they’re looking.
Moved the Player’s spawn on City, and made the objective more obvious with some lighting.
Fixed audio VFX from not spawning due to not being included in the build.
Loading a level quickly renders 60 frames of various locations to reduce stutter while playing.
Characters now lean into which way they’re moving. This negatively affects FPS mode a bit, but overall feels worth it.
Jumping no longer temporarily breaks NPC pathfinding.
NPCs will now turn left and right while searching for the player.
Fixed a few cases where NPCs would get softlocked trying to path to an unreachable area. (Staying at a high alert level.)
Fixed issue with splurting inside of objects causing clipping.
Fixed a bunch of broken NPC idle/sit stations on most maps

Hotfix 61161dc5
Fixed clothing rip VFX from not appearing in build.
Fixed one of the player vore animations from not having any expressions.

Hotfix b4dc0622
Fixed possums not moving and being in the floor.

Patch 146f3d32
Fixed characters not properly getting inflated when they’re capable of vore.
Added some lighting tools to assist with map development for modders (Found under Tools->ChurnVector).

Patch 99517f52
Fixed shark being inflated by default.

Patch d5045fcb
Fixed instances where characters could rotate when they weren’t supposed to.
Characters that don’t specify a vore container type, or a vore type, will get generic versions assigned.
Characters that don’t specify any penetrables will get some automatically generated when necessary.
Nerfed NPC detection speed by about 15%, as it was still overtuned.

Patch 2e5a24b3
Added a water shader for modded maps.
Bulges are no longer configurable, and are automatically configured via math.
Removed a vast amount of redundant options for both materials and penetrator inputs for modding.
Added some generics for vore types and vore containers. It’s not quite ready yet but technically OV is possible with modding now.

Hotfix c0c69654
Fixed issue where the modding category of levels failed to display, preventing custom levels from being playable.
Added logs for when mods load.

Patch d948076a
Fixed some animations having FootIK disabled.
Fixed balls clipping through the floor due to trying to depenetrate from the player’s collider on spawn.
Breeding stations now analyze the model you have and attempts to place them with their penetrator aligned to the penetrable. This allows custom models to align better.
You no longer need to penetrate deeper than a certain amount to get stimulated, this allows regular sized penetrators to just– rub the outside of the hole to release.
Fixed issue where you could build infinite hip velocity while using a controller, making penetration simulations feel laggy and unresponsive on the Steam Deck.

Patch hotfix 07bcfc4a
The main part about this is that I’m no longer a moron and removed melonloader, so the error some people got should no longer happen.

Patch 1807e40f Hotfix
There were two hotfixes, one pretty big one, as condoms wouldn’t work meaning you couldn’t unload.

Patch 1807e40f
Modding support and Steam Workshop integration
Replaced Penetration Tech with DPG, for ease of modding.
Cop animation polish, they can aim, walk, and shoot without sliding around as much.
Cops now properly predict your movement and clearly display where they’re thinking of shooting.
Replaced Shapes addon with regular images.
Level selection now has categories, allowing users to organize their levels.
Fixed bug where player’s balls unintentionally started at 1.5x its intended scale.
Fixed bug where NPCs couldn’t detect you when using a need station.
Feathered NPCs vision at the edges, now that they’re much less distracted by need stations.
New NPC, the maroon dragon.
Corrected Archival’s name from “Archical” in the credits.
Lots of small map adjustments
Many small bug fixes, many added bugs.

Patch b83ca484
Possum cook’s detection circle no longer is inside their big hat.
Added boobs and donut to the Dragon.
NPCs falling off the navmesh no longer permanently move randomly.
Added smooth damping to Camera movement. This should help with it flickering in tight spaces.
Camera near clipping plane has been made smaller. This fixes the Camera thinking it’s colliding with walls that the player is simply near.
Fixed Buridan’s donkey issue with NPCs trying to return two condoms.
The player and NPCs now get flaccid over 48 seconds if nothing’s going on.
Fixed issue where the player would get softlocked when holding a condom that got recumbobulated.
We’ve got full Steam Deck compatibility now.
Added Model Pack.

Patch 1f2310b8
Returned the Dragons hunger for any and all characters.
Fixed issue where dragon didn’t have jiggle physics on their wiener.
Adjusted possum’s jiggle physics.
Fixed rat priest’s tail from vanishing with their clothes.
Fixed bug where using the warehouse button twice would softlock the game.
Fixed bug on SteamDeck where getting CV’d by the dragon would bring the game down to 5fps.
Trying to recumbobulate a map-spawned condom no longer soft-locks the player. (It still doesn’t accomplish anything though! This might change later.)
Fixed lighting in warehouse offices from being unintentionally dark.
Sitting points for NPC’s now have hip-pinning, so that the variety of characters now sit properly.
Fixed various path finding issues that could cause NPC’s to become stuck or pass through objects
Flaccid states no longer pull shafts down so aggressively.
Save slot selection menu will now immediately show Xbox controls if you have a Gamepad plugged in.
Fixed Station map from displaying an old game over screen with generic “Jump” prompts.
Localization update.

Patch cef91e5c
Buffed NPC detection rate by about 20%. (Minimum detection rate 8 -> 6.5 seconds, max detection rate 4 -> 3.5 seconds.) Non-authority NPCs still mostly ignore you if you’re unladen and not being suspicious.
Buffed NPC memory by 20%. It’s only a few extra seconds, but it prevents them from walking out of the room and forgetting what just happened while still in sight of the player.
Fixed bug where investigating NPCs would forget about you if it took more than 30 seconds to path to the search location.
Fixed Navmesh bugs on City, Station, Warehouse. Should lessen the chance of NPCs becoming stuck on corners of objects.
Buffed Dragon’s speed by 20%. Should now have a much easier time getting around when “under load”.
Fixed Dragon being omniscient when deciding on a character to CV. Prevents them from just pathing to the player across the map. This is work to make pred characters more authorable, and we’re not quite finished with it yet!
Fixed receptionist Giraffe clothes clipping.
Added Condom physics, they now wobble and splat like a real bag of fun.
Fixed Npcs at glory holes thinking they are the boss of the City when freed.
Added some wet floor signs.
Reduced vocal volume for Possum characters by 50%.
Improved animations for most character interactions (sitting, idle, vore)
Fixed some chairs, and vending machines causing characters to hover when using them.
Fixed light bleed on most maps’ light bake.
Fixed Thai fonts from having missing glyphs.
Fixed smashed wine bottle fragments from lacking collision.
Fixed bug where setting Hint Glyphs to Controller would disable breeding stands.
Added a small cutscene to a button in the Warehouse to show what door it opens.
Fixed dialogue getting stuck when leaving a glory hole station early.
Fixed goop decals ignoring the giraffe.
Fixed balls not teleporting to their owners on Recumbobulation. Should prevent the Dragon’s balls getting stuck half-way across the map when taken to a Recumbobulator.
Fixed worker Rats ignoring cumflation.
Removed some generic glyphs (TAB, and JUMP) and replaced with proper controller-specific button prompts.
Fixed the Game Over prompt from requiring a keyboard space bar press. It has been replaced by a “Quick Restart” prompt with the appropriate controller glyph and controls.
Fixed getting multiple-game over states simultaneously from breaking menuing.
Small various fixes.
This patch week was very carefully crafted so things don’t break (we hope!). We’re gearing up for bigger updates so stay tuned!
