SHF3 v.26 - Changelings, Cadance, UI overhaul (Patreon)

Check the changelog for full changes :3

Princess Cadance and bug pones enter the fray! The big change this time though is the UI, which I always struggle with. Luckily I had some help with the design this time.  I wanted to clear out the screen and just leave the ponies in the middle, and have the UI along the sides, out of the way. Doing that freed up space for an extra character slot.

Now, there's only one HUD, rather than one for each character. It's also possible to hide most of the UI. And there are hotkeys! It's minimal at the moment, but I'll work on making the game more accessible through hotkeys.

A lot of hard-coded stuff had to be rewritten. It was only meant for two characters at a time originally so I had to sort a lot of stuff out having to do with positioning, and the code for what the characters look at/react to. I also had to rewrite pretty much all of the UI code to make it so the game wasn't creating a new HUD per character. Now the game supports any number of characters on screen at once, so I intend to let you add as many as your FPS will allow in the future. Just have to figure out the game camera to allow that.

This update's kind of technical but I think the result is significant! 

Play it here!

known bugs:

mayyybe messed up some of the code used to prioritize what characters look at

if you blindfold a character before arousing them, it's very hard to bring them to orgasm. Probably related to the previous bug

What's next?

Chrysalis

Changeling-specific naughty bits

Allow different colors for the mouths/tongues, for characters with differently colored insides

Smoother facial transitions- there's too much swapping back and forth between expressions. I have an idea on how to make this a lot more natural. 

Mental/personality features. There's a lot involved in this, so I'll update you guys as this develops!

Really trying to get the whole latex suit thing to work. Didn't expect it to be so damn hard >.<
