Heat 0.3.4.2 Milestone- IRL Toy Menu, Gape, Save/Load Custom Poses, Two New Duo Climaxes, etc (Patreon)
Content
This month we've improved a lot of features and added some new ones. Our new programmer Miles is settling in and is making great progress in the code. He's proving to be a great addition to the team!
One of the notable improvements will be with the character's sucking poses. They should close around the toys better, and Riley in particular has a new system and animations in place for testing that should be less prone to errors.
The UI has seen some overhaul is well, with submenus and the first addition of the kinks menu, with at this point contains the new gape feature as well as the previously existing macro/micro player scale features.
Toy integration has seen some more love with a proper list of connected toys and some instructions, as well as per-toy options.
As one of the follower-ups of the last feature poll, we've also added custom pose saving/loading. You can now save the poses you put the characters in in pose 2! These poses will save in the game's directory in a poses folder and should be easy to share.
There's a bunch more stuff than this this update! Such as improved 2d mode toy rotations. See the changelog below for full details.
Check out the full changes below and please provide feedback in Discord! Thank you everyone for your continued support of Heat! Your support allows this game to exist!
How to run Heat(Remember you need SteamVR to run the game in VR, and 7zip(recommended) or WinRAR to unpack it.)
New Patrons: Patreon is really slow at the beginning of the month and may take a few hours to acknowledge you're a patron for the authentication. Patreon is not updating a handful of user's pages and is failing to auth even after a long time. If you can't auth, try relogging into Patreon. If it still doesn't work, go into your Patreon profile and change any setting, such as your Patreon name or pledge privacy setting to force Patreon to update your profile. The auth should work after that. If it doesn't message me on Discord or Patreon.

Known Issues
- Laser might not register with UI sometimes, possible fixes are: Game restart, by setting the game window to focus by clicking on it, or by alt-tabbing (let me know if this still happens, I may have fixed it)
- Your hand can crumple up if both hands go to touch the same thing for the first time. To fix this just move both hands away from the character for a bit and it should stop happening
- Browser doesn't launch when hitting authenticate, or refuses to connect: Try running in admin mode or setting a different browser to default temporarily
