As I said in the other thread, nice work on the Mac release!!

Now for new topics:
I'd like to suggest putting some camera controls on the keyboard instead of just the mouse. It's much easier to rotate the camera when you can map it to the "<" and ">" keys.

Actually, I'd love to have ALL commands be mappable to the keyboard, but camera controls are a must, I'd say.

I'm so happy to say that it works like a dream!
High graphics settings, and no problems at all on my iMac.

I'm so happy with it! I'll keep testing it and let you know if anything comes up.

There could be a non-penetrative sex menu, that involves fingering, tit fucking, foot jobs, handjobs, and pussy jobs/sumata

Great idea! Yes, I love it!

Sounds good to me. The character editor was easily one of my favorite features of SS1 so I'm excited to see it being carried over to SS2.

I guess for features I'd like to see:

-Oral Sex (I know it's planned, but may as well mention it anyway)
-Kissing
-Cumshots/creampies
-Orgasm button like in SS1 so we can make characters cum when we want to
-Threesomes
-More environments

I wholeheartedly endorse this list and would only strongly suggest you add
-Tit Fucking
which was something always lacking in SS1 (and for me, at least, a major oversight!  ). It could probably go under the Oral menu...or maybe we need a Miscellaneous? I'm sure others would like Rimming, but that's probably under Oral too.

Hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving and are not reading this until well after the holiday!

Unfortunately, the new test version doesn't seem to make a difference for me. Still floating eyeballs and hair and extremely slow lag no matter what graphics settings I used (and I went in and pulled all the other settings down to min as well with no change). Actually, there IS a change: now the water won't render and just looks black. Ah well...

Let me know if there's anything else I can try or send you.

Ok, I feel a little vindicated, haha.

FLSM runs like a dream. "Fantastic" graphics settings, no lag, and looks amazing. No issues at all.

Hi, Giselle
A few things...

1) Thank you for your quick attention and responses here! Even though the game is unplayable for me right now, I'm just a little frustrated but still basically cheerful and optimistic. I totally get that this is a release process, and I'm happy to help test it out, since I think this will be a really great program down the road.

2) Yes! Please let me know as you work on a Mac native version! I will very happily help test that out if you want.

3) Y'all are the experts, but I honestly would be surprised if the issue was only the virtual desktop. The whole point of the architecture is that it is running a totally stable environment, and my experience until now has been that it is identical to running a PC. However, I can totally buy that there is a problem here related to something being out of date...my graphics card especially, though like I say above I would think I would see some kind of difference between high and low graphics settings. Are you all running Windows 7? Is that my problem? Or maybe my card is fine, but I have an out-of-date driver.

4) I will download and try to run Future Love Space Machine and report back!

Thanks again for your help and willingness to engage by particular Mac issues.

Hi there! Huge fan of 1 and was very excited to get 2 ASAP!

Unfortunately, my system honestly can BARELY handle loading this game, and it definitely can't handle playing it. I put it on the "LOW" graphics setting at 1600x900 and it still cannot render anyone. The environment loads alright, but the characters just appear as floating hair and eyeballs with no bodies! And the game lags and stutters so badly that I cannot effectively control anything (I tried to use the right mouse to look around, and the lag made it so that I was looking straight down or straight up and couldn't fine tune the control back to normal. Oddly enough, at first I put the setting on "VERY HIGH" and got the exact same result (i.e. there seems to be no difference at all in the graphics if I use VERY HIGH or LOW).

My system is unusual in that I am running the game on a Parallels Desktop setup from MacOS 10.14.6. So my processor and card info might not be as meaningful, but I have a 10-core 3GHz Intel Xeon W with 64GB RAM running a Radeon Pro Vega 64 16GB and 64-bit Windows 7. I know it's not a PC gamer setup, but it runs SexSim1 (and the competing SV2) with no problems or hiccups whatsoever.

Any thoughts? Any additional information I can give?

Maybe it ’s not supported by the graphics card.
This is also the case when I play other games on my old graphics card.
It is recommended to use a slightly better graphics card than you are now.
Machine translation please forgive me.

Thank you for your input!
I think it's more likely this than the virtual desktop issue (more on that in a response to Giselle soon), but I'm still surprised by this. I'm real up on all things sound and music - that's what I use my Mac for professionally - but I don't really know graphics cards. My impression was that this was a really good one two years ago when I got this machine. Do they really go out of date that quickly? That's...discouraging. Also, if that was the issue I would think I would see at least some difference between running the game on VERY HIGH and LOW, but I don't; it behaves and looks exactly the same.

Just wanted to chime in that I am very excited too! I totally understand that this will be a whole new engine and we will have to start over with our add-on library. Maybe there can be deals for a large add-on purchase all at once?

Anyway, just voicing my support here. I'm glad this is getting revamped and am really looking forward to the new game!

One last thing: is there an appropriate forum somewhere to list "things I'd like to see ASAP in Sex Sim 2"? I'd hate to waste forum space or your inbox.

General Discussion / Re: Pose-Editor?

« on: March 02, 2012, 04:28:50 PM »

One simply do-it-yourself fix in the .xml files for the animations is to pick a sub-pose you think is appropriate for an orgasm pose and change the values in the first field of <faceanimation> to 1 or 2 instead of 0.

This just puts the girl's mouth in the 'open' position, for 1 it's fully open (it's the position from Blowjob) or for 2 it's half-open, but it makes quite a difference visually! (example screenshot attached)

For the whole 'stop after orgasm' idea, one solution could be an extra sub-pose for each position that is 'stopped' - so the characters are in the same position (from behind, on the table, whatever) but the guy is withdrawn and not thrusting, just kinda taking a break, either for post-orgasm or just whenever.

Could also be extended to bespoke orgasm animations for each position too, although I tend to just pick an appropriate sub-pose (legs wrapped around in missionary for example) and perhaps tweak the xml as above so the girl's mouth is open!

A 'back to default pose' button could be useful-ish, I can't see myself using it much, but also wouldn't be too much work?

Excellent! Yeah, those are all good ideas and to my non-programmer ears sound like not too much work. Personally, I would use the "back to default pose", but I also like your extra subpose idea too. That would be my goal; to find some sort of solution which Jak or someone can bang out rather quickly rather than having it overtake other development. Thanks for better articulating what I was going for!

One of the few flaws right now is how not much changes during orgasm and - when over - they just keep right on going.

Well my initial thought was to have them collapse where they were, cuddle a bit, and then light up cigarettes, and if the user hit GO again the guy would say "Uh, you gotta give me a few minutes to recoup, here" but I opted instead to just keep things going.

In all seriousness, though, that was something I wrestled with, but there's no easy solution (as far as I can see).  Either they stop having sex after orgasm, in which case that's it and they just sit there until the user exits, or they keep having sex until the user exits.  In either case, the end result is the same.  The user decides when things stop, so the most logical solution to me was to keep things going until that point.

HA! No, but seriously, I totally understand, but that kind of IS what I would want! Ok ok, maybe not the "give me a few minutes" part, though that is hilarious.
 
You know what might be nice and/or be a good quick compromise? What if there were a button to reset? That is to say return to the initial girl-just-standing-there pose? Right now, once they start, there's no way to get back to that part without quitting to the menu and reloading...and that cleans up the cum. I'd like to be able to have them finish and then have things chill out for a bit - before quitting or resuming - so that we can admire the guys, uh, "handiwork". An option to return to the solo standing pose might be just the thing as a quick fix.

Jak said he is also working (or intending to work) on adding 2 more locations.  That, an animation module, and one or two more packs adding clothing (new meshes) plus the ability to layer clothing, and the sim essentially will have all the major components, the main thing left being some kind of scene creator (i.e. sequencer).

Totally agree, I think that all we need is a little more variety. I would add threesomes (or the ability to script your own) and maybe other group sex options to that list also.

It is good to see it being continually developed though!

Agreed with both. I will say, though, that - short-term wise - I would like to see some added animations from Jak and/or official sources. I love the idea of creating our own, but I'd like to see a few more done right before I start having to slog through other peoples' posted work. Animation is going to be a totally different ballgame than character creation, and I imagine there's going to be a lot of duds out there. I'd rather get a few more done "right" before we open the floodgates to our amateur work (mine included!).

Also, I don't know about you all, but I'm lazy. I'm happy to pay for well done, professional content so that I don't have to do it (and screw it up!). Don't get me wrong, though: long term wise, there should definitely be an animation editor/creator.

It would also be nice to see some orgasm animation - male and female - that stands apart from the sex acts, maybe as an optional button that pops up. One of the few flaws right now is how not much changes during orgasm and - when over - they just keep right on going.

Also, yes to threesomes.

Characters / Re: New place for characters - Please Read!

« on: February 28, 2012, 02:09:54 PM »

Will characters posted the new way be automatically named with our Sex Sim username or do we have the option to use our forum username (or another even) instead? I have a separate username for the two accounts and would rather not have my account name displayed. Bleh! I should have just made both usernames the same...
