==================================
Update 8/26/2019 ~~ Besti 9.69p
==================================
==Core Updates==
The Settings–>Controls–>Options area is now a scrolling field.
Renamed Controls to Controls/Misc in the settings area.
Created the “long branching” concept in the AI. The AI is an extremely complicated finite state machine with hundreds of logical states. If you perform an action that causes the FSM to branch from one major segment to another, the AI will record this transition and allow different logical operations to occur. If the AI detects that it is in the middle of a long branch behavior, it will activate this system. At present it uses this to manipulate which vocal behaviors it uses to decrease a percieved robotic behavior.
Created a new function to extend the capability of the grab system in situations where I am required to move your hands around in 2D mode while NOT grabbing the friend. The previous grab system required the friend to be in a grabbable state, whereas the new system can invoke the system at any time. This is used to pose 2D and Riftcat users hands in situations where I needed the hand in a different place per the overall direction of the behavior.
Added a logical step of analysis to the AI to make the ai itself aware if you have male or female genitals. Previously the AI was unaware of this and it was the menus that changed rather than what the AI percieved about you. This allows identical states of the FSM to differ based on your current biological equipment. This is currently used on the FSM state called “Sexy Hugs.”
==Bug Fixes==
Interaction modes now take 2 fewer frames to initiate, which should reduce instances of a frame running before you’re in position. It still happens but it happens less frequently.
Made the friend’s uterus stop communicating with the debug log outside of debug mode. The notice system no longer tells you when semen is detected in your friends.
Moved the position of the mirror in the avatar configuration to be more aligned with where you teleport to during the movement tutorial. I initially placed it so you would use the skill you were just taught to align yourself, but it feels unintentional so I moved it slightly.
==New Features==
For VR users, the grab options have been enhanced to give you the ability to invert how grabbed movement affects your friend. If you feel like any position is backwards from your perspective, you can now switch them around. Go into the menus and scroll down on Controls/Misc -> Options and you can invert any one you like.
A new root position called “Get comfy” was added that other behaviors can branch from. This is part of the “Laying” configuration, and causes the friend to lie down beside you. It is done from the initial laying down position. If you are in a 2D or Riftcat camera configuration, additional animation was added to the avatar to get the avatar in a more appropriate position.
A new behavior called “Snuggle” was added to the “Laying” configuration. This is done from the “Get Comfy” root behavior. This causes the friend to hug your leg and put her right hand on your abdomen. The options are “Look at me” which causes the friend to look at your face, and “Relax” which causes the friend to close her eyes and cuddle her face into you. Asking her to do the latter option will cause her to have different idle sounds and alters he stance comfort variable causing her to shift around a bit less.
A new behavior called “Take a nap” was added to the “Laying” configuration. This is done from the “Get Comfy” root behavior. This causes the friend to roll over onto her right side and attempt to sleep. If you leave the friend in this position for a while she will eventually fall more deeply asleep which is a different behavior.
15 new voice samples were lip-synced to all profiles. These are new idle/sleepy sounds to work with the new more relaxed behaviors.
A new behavior called “Sexy Hugs” was added to the “Laying” configuration. This is done from the “Snuggle” behavior and requires that your character is naked. This causes the friend to lift herself up a bit and interact with you using her right hoof. This behavior differs depending on if the AI detects that you are using a female or a male avatar so she plays with you appropriately.
All of the sexual behaviors in the “Laying” configuration now have a shortcut to “Snuggle” in them, causing the friend to path through her logical deicions all the way to get her to get to hugging with one click. This utilizes the new core function called long branching to work (see core updates.)
