Hey again guys :D,

Here's the October Pure Onyx release!

• TEST RELEASE DOWNLOAD (Mega)
• TEST RELEASE DOWNLOAD (Google Drive - Use if Mega is slow)

I recommend checking out the monthly progress update posted earlier today for additional details, but as discussed there the major change this month is that we've added the Bunny Girl enemies for combat!

Other significant changes worth mentioning again are that we've increased vertical movement speed for Onyx and all enemies, as well as given enemies increased movement range when not performing an attack/action.

Here is the full changelog for this release!

Changelog

(** indicates items added since the October 25 Inner Circle test release. The following is only a list of player-facing changes, unless otherwise noted):

• ** Added Bat Bunny enemy for combat, along with her combo attack. Find her in the Red-Light test map and survival mission wave spawner.
• ** Increased hurtbox size for Blade Bunny's Whirlwind finisher attack.
• ** Added footstep SFX to Bunnies.
• Added new SFX and liquid FX for the Onyx and FemCop 2x Vioreaper scenes.
• Added more liquid FX to FemCop's 1x Vioreaper scene.
• Added Blade Bunny enemy for combat, along with her Whirlwind and Swift Slash attacks. Find her in the Red-Light test map and survival mission wave spawner.
• Added Blade Bunny LOD rig (higher performance in Red-Light map + when she's on screen for H scenes)
• Significantly increased Onyx's and all enemies' vertical walk speed.
• Increased "Nudge" distance across all enemies to prevent twitchy movement and to make enemies more mobile/unpredictable.
• Greatly increased barrel explosion damage.
• Certain enemy attacks can now damage destructible objects.
• Foreground bunnies will now be hidden during grapples / H scenes so as to not obstruct view in Red-Light test map.
• Fixed issue where worm splat FX would shrink/grow while zooming in/out.

Known Issues

Here are the newest/most relevant known issues.

• Enemy bystanders can take damage from fire traps
• Some visual glitches involving the new traps.
• Barrels are apparently still able to spawn inside each other.
• Player character downed animation post H scene is currently not playing in Gallery, nor are secondary idle animations.
• Some new occurrences of enemies walking in place.
• Charger may slide around if stunned at a very specific time.
• Sounds are improperly playing during loading currently.
• Destructible objects don't receive environment lighting or cast reflections yet.
• Vioreapers are extra buzzy at the moment (even while knocked down).
• It's possible to make Onyx invisible through some combination of opening console / enabling God Mode while Onyx is flashing due to respawning
• Blocky shading artifacts appear on both FemCop and Onyx if they are covered in liquid while lit by FemCop's forcefield.  This is due to a shader conflict with the newly optimized liquid and the lighting technique used for the forcefield.  We're working on a fix ^-^.
• Larva/Crawlers (and Vioreapers too) currently use humanoid bystander behaviors.
• Crawlers' spit attack has a splash AoE where the projectile lands, but FX graphics aren't in for it yet, so it can appear as if Onyx is hit by nothing if she's standing nearby a landing spitball.
• FemCop's force field doesn't emit light properly when the scene is mirrored.
• It's possible for FemCop's forcefield to spawn on top of bystander enemies.
• Splicer Thug needs new bystander animations before his section of the Chain Splicer's H scene.
• At minimum zoom, you can see the incoming/outgoing Ball Drone used in the Runt's section of the Chain Splicer H scene before it's meant to appear.
• Some of Wraxe's combat FX need to be updated to work with new animations.  Some may display as being rotated improperly or slightly out of position.
• Charger's hitbox shifts slightly after he charges.  If he charges repeatedly this shift can add up to be significant.  It will soon correct itself however.
• Liquid won't show on Onyx during the Thug's solo H scene.  This will be fixed soon.
• The liquid spurt FX on one of the Thug's H scene finishers sometimes doesn't play.  We're aware of the cause and seeing if it pops up anywhere else before fixing it.
• Infinite jabs are way overpowered against bosses right now.  Jab spam will be changed to a standing combo soon-ish (among other combat improvements).
• Street Lord Wraxe sometimes blocks the view of H scenes with his big fat wraxe when he's a bystander.

Console Commands

The game isn't balanced that great yet, so some people have asked if there are ways to bypass bosses or get some help.  You can use console commands for this while the game is still rough around the edges. Press the  ` (backtick/tilde) key to open the console.  Type any of the commands below and press enter.  Press ` again to close the console.

• godmode on/off - Makes Onyx indestructible and impervious to Exhaustion.
• onepunchmode on/off - Gives Onyx the ability to kill anything with one attack.
• setwave # - Sets the enemy wave to the number specified.  Changes will not be reflected in enemies until the current wave is wiped out.  If you want to fight Street Lord Wraxe, who spawns on Wave 20, then set the wave to 19 and wipe out the remaining enemies.
• setgamespeed # - Multiplies the game speed by the number specified.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Currently only Windows 7/8/10 are supported. We plan on adding additional platforms if there is a demand. 8 GB of RAM and at least a 2GB graphics card are heavily recommended. If you get poor performance please let us know and post your system specs (or send to eromancergames@gmail.com ); we’re still in the early stages of gauging system requirements.

Currently Supported Controllers: Xbox 360, Xbox One, Dual Shock 4.  PS5 DualSense

**Note** The popular community made DS4 Windows drivers cause Unity to recognize a DualShock controller as an Xbox gamepad, and we can't tell them apart in code. This means that you'll be gifted with the untold joy of having your controller mapped by default with the wrong controls. You can fix it by rebinding the PS4 controller map, or removing the DS4 Windows drivers. (The latter is HARD, a simple uninstall isn't going to be enough)
