So question, why switch from the old 0.7 design to the new one in 0.8? I could imagine it may be easier to code the girls in a more simple layout, but I'm no coder. Only other issues I could think of is old programmers left and its too complicated or a publisher issue.
Just curious, as the old design was obviously a lot more polished and fleshed out even though it seemingly never got out of demo stage.
The old design had a bit more stuff but the original code was unstable and much harder to work with. We switched to avoid those issues.
For example, due to how the nightclubs clothing situation was handled. it would often take several hours just to export a build due to various issues. Plus people couldn't even view the lewds most of the time due to a white screen issue.
So how do you actually get got by ari? i know it says "let your sanity drop to 20%" but how do i know when my sanity is that low?is it when the final bar turns red?
She should pop up around your right or left hallway while you are lower than 30%ish percent sanity. if you continue to leave your sanity low, she will barge into the room to kill you.
Am I the only one weirded out a bit by how it goes from Night 1 and Night 2, to Night 5 to Night 8 to Night 10? It's a nice game concept, though, and I can't wait until it's finished and everything's in place (the mini games, the tapes, etc.)!
Good to know! I'm just glad that this update worked, at least. The last two kept crashing before they even opened. All I'd get with those was a literal page of error codes.
i have a suggestion to make the game run a bit better, it is to make the textures render partaily when the camera isnt looking directly at them and render fully when the camera is looking at them make if you can for light if youre using ray cast to make lights then make an approximate bubble for each raycast and decrease the number of ray cast and us the bubble to detect if the bubble is touching other bubbles to make it shine brighter or less and also use raytraced(depricated) for global ilumintation bc lumen is more taxing
Edit: this probably wont do anything to help anyway
MonsterBox, are you able to make the game support 21:9 resolutions, or at least a ultra wide screens? The game gets cropped in the bottom of the screen and makes it feel zoomed in.
Edit: Also the reason i ask is because when you play the game, it plays with the resolution you use, but crops it badldy. So when i play the game, i have to change my display before starting up the game.
I understand that this is a big thing for you folks, yet is disregarded by even the most professional triple A developers. I will add it to the list for the next build!
I'll see if we get decent progress by the end of the month here on the unreal build. if not, I have a couple of strategies to get us to where we need to be on steam.
I need to know, because I've had this issue before, if I buy this here once, do I also get the updates after I do, or would I have to purchase every update?
So uhh, any answer to why I can't see any controls info in game? it just shows me graphical options. If the demo is broken for current OS' or something, why not update the Demo?
Heard! I would wait then. We have an open development cycle so that folks can see the changes every update. The final product will be worth it but it is still quite a bit away.
Dont think its meant for VR at the moment, or likely ever. Might ben for the old builds Video theater. Otherwise, its best better to play it in the normal way of playing in desktop, untill they announce it available for VR on the new build.
Not wanna be rude, but by the way everytime you spoke on this site regarding anything, you got disliked alot of the times.
Its likely due to the fact your way of speech on any site regarding being open on anything, without concern of spoiling or saying things that is cringe to read about, might be the reason you got removed. Im not pointing fingers, but you have ben a bit overactive with talking things related to the game, while some has ben cringe to read about or things that is not noted on itch yet as its not known to public here.
He was kinda annoying, he wrote a lot, trying to spoon feed spoons, and by the end of his text, the point was missing and he confused more with his explanation
so, I played the demo, and I thought "yeah not bad, I will support the devs and buy the full game" just to purchase the full game and have it be completely different, I understand it is still in development, but the demo was much better to play
They remaking the game with the new unreal engine, so what you know from the demo is from the old build 0.75. Plus the new build is a early test build of the new engine.
Right now there is not planned for a release date for Steam, since they are remaking the game with the new engine. They only planning on Releasing it to Steam when its finnished.
Easymode is often preferred due to the feeling of completion it gives. Just scenes without context aren't as great as scenes with the context gained from interaction. Maybe an easy mode?
I'm playing 0.75 and I know that the doors have limited power so I waited for the bunny girl to look through the window before closing the door. She came in through the closed door anyway. Is it even possible to win?
In regards to this in case you might still be wondering the pig toy on the desk gives you sanity back when you use it and you need to balance using that and looking up at the vent while the door is closed but using the toy too quickly breaks it so watch the red bar next to your sanity
Just wondering since it's coming to steam, would those that've purchased the game here on itch.io get a steam code for it or would it be better to wait for the steam release? I'm asking to know if I should purchase this now rather than waiting.
I would wait if you want it on steam In Heat is being handled by Critical Bliss for its steam release. If it were just us it would be dooable. However Contracts are contracts.
The final version as done from the previous programmer indeed was speculated to come out rather early, A game with a 6 month development cycle, yes this was a possibility. While we had that speed, you often had updates with completely broken game mechanics, like Cassidy draining you of each and every ticket you earned. Or the Misty glitch where she was unbeatable.
While at a time we did have much higher speed, it came with a cost that the game itself wasn't stable. One of the main priorities with this rebuild was to make a very very strong backend.
I don't understand what you mean by Maddy not showing up as a screamer. She already has jumpscares planned for her. Just that if she will not be a roamer like Poppi. There is a good reason she is scripted to just hang out in the goo room right now.
I hope you enjoy the title when it does come out! Let us know if you have any further questions.
You can find the downloads at your profile at My Library. From there, just head to the game and pick a download you want. They update the downloads when they release a new build, so you dont have to worry about paying again for the next update. Also if you scroll to the top of this site, you should see a text saying "You own this game" and a download butten near it.
I just bought in heat after playing the demo and I downloaded the most recent one which is INHEAT-801b and it seems SUPER outdated compared to the demo, as well as after a game over there is no sex scenes? I was just wondering if I got the correct version.
The demo is from the old build, while 0.801a and 0.801b is the new remade build for the Unreal 5 engine system. They trying to remake the game with the new system, so there is a lot of new changes coming to it in the future, but right now its just a sort of early test build of the new system that you can try out.
It does not have much but thats why its a early test build.
We haven't been able to effectively update the unreal 4 edition of the game. So rather than exist in development hell, we had to completely rebuild the project.
0.8+ is crafted in Unreal 5, and will be getting the updates.
Check out 0.75 if you want to see the last version of the unreal 4 engine.
version .801 seems a little bare compared to the rest, so I assume this is mostly just to show off the new performance and everything right? I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything, cause right now the gameplay is wait, wait, close the door, wait, open door, wait, fix problem on camera, then repeat until the nights over, the night selection screen is weirdly disorganized with the order being "night 1" "night 10" "night 2" "night 5" and "night 8", and when you finish a night it says "you are win" which im not sure is intentional- but i am absolutely loving how things look right now and there is so much potential for this rebuild!
Unfortunately, due to the design process of the rebuild, we have had to delay the integration of a save-system. Which handles a lot of the nights and other gameplay aspects. Integrating This should be the priority for this month, as such the next update should be a better look at what is to come.
Hey just wanted to ask here, im thinking about buying this game but im debating just waiting for the steam version. Can someone explain what this paid version has that the demo on steam does not have. Any help would be great!
The steam demo hasn't been effectively updated for 6 months.
But I would still wait a bit longer before you buy if you are concerned about content. We will be popping some huge upgrade content updates soon (around the summer if my timing is right).
No. Just head to My Library on your profile when you have bought it. You should be able to download any current and future files they place for download.
The new build 0.801 Seems to not support ultrawide screen resolutions, because the stage room with the lever cant be interacted if you use a standard resolution of 3440x1440 or similar. But if you change your computers display to 1920x1080, its possible to play it correctly. Seems playing in ultrawide, cause it to fill out to the sides, and makes the top and bottom cropped out.
Hello, I'm new to the game and I wanted to ask for help to solve a bug, I can't open the tapes/scenes and when I click on the video a black screen appears, how can I solve this in the demo?
I can tell quality is going up, good work. One criticism is navigating the cameras is kinda a pain with the tiny X in the top left. Also, Poppi T-pose :P

Thats how I did it, just let the last bar turned red which I assume is probably around 10-15% sanity
She should pop up around your right or left hallway while you are lower than 30%ish percent sanity. if you continue to leave your sanity low, she will barge into the room to kill you.
Am I the only one weirded out a bit by how it goes from Night 1 and Night 2, to Night 5 to Night 8 to Night 10? It's a nice game concept, though, and I can't wait until it's finished and everything's in place (the mini games, the tapes, etc.)!
Me too, its only like that since there was a delay setting up a save system. It will not be there for long
Good to know! I'm just glad that this update worked, at least. The last two kept crashing before they even opened. All I'd get with those was a literal page of error codes.

Edit: this probably wont do anything to help anyway
Agreed, likely this will help the game feel a bit more fluid.
However we did do away with lumen, much too difficult to work with.
MonsterBox, are you able to make the game support 21:9 resolutions, or at least a ultra wide screens? The game gets cropped in the bottom of the screen and makes it feel zoomed in.
Edit: Also the reason i ask is because when you play the game, it plays with the resolution you use, but crops it badldy. So when i play the game, i have to change my display before starting up the game.
Gotcha, native support for hyperwide screens.
I understand that this is a big thing for you folks, yet is disregarded by even the most professional triple A developers. I will add it to the list for the next build!
Or at least make it so it does not crop the bottom of the screen when you don't play the game under the resolution it's build by.
Yes, it worries me if I am to be transparent.
I'll see if we get decent progress by the end of the month here on the unreal build. if not, I have a couple of strategies to get us to where we need to be on steam.
Trying to get some info on how to install in linux system but no success. Any helpfull pointers would be great thanks
Likely will need a pure export for it going. Ill be addressing Mac, and Linux builds next week.
sorry I didn't see this reply before I sent the last one. So there is nothing I can do until ya do something with it. Will it work with joyplay or no
Great update. Now we can just wait for the game to be ready by the end of 2023.
Thanks to the author for releasing the update. I wish you still made it available on Steam and I bought it.
I need to know, because I've had this issue before, if I buy this here once, do I also get the updates after I do, or would I have to purchase every update?
If you buy the game you will have acess to all the next update don't worry.
LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
A couple sex scenes yeah, the library is nowhere close to full.
yeah, there is a sex scene! every girl has one so far.
New update?
When will it be?
It's been three days since you posted.
Probably because its delayed.
I am hoping tomorrow!
yes i cant wait
So uhh, any answer to why I can't see any controls info in game? it just shows me graphical options. If the demo is broken for current OS' or something, why not update the Demo?
Which build are you specifically playing and I can help!
4.27? That's what the file says in properties. The only thing else I have to go off is that it's the Demo version here on Itch.io
Yeah that is actually rather old. I would recommend checking out 0.75 or 0.801
Like I said though, the only one on Itch that's free is this one. I don't believe in buying something I have no idea about the quality of.
Heard! I would wait then. We have an open development cycle so that folks can see the changes every update. The final product will be worth it but it is still quite a bit away.
my computer is hotter running this game than the title
Ikr. Its a major negative I want to get fixed. Unreal is just so unruly.
unreal is unreal
I have no idea what was just said here.
They got kicked from Discord.
And likely because they not well in the head as well.He's clearly not doing very well in the head.Can you send me a message via discord?
papa_smug is the name
i am unable to launch this on my vr is that normal?
Dont think its meant for VR at the moment, or likely ever.
Might ben for the old builds Video theater.
Otherwise, its best better to play it in the normal way of playing in desktop, untill they announce it available for VR on the new build.
Not wanna be rude, but by the way everytime you spoke on this site regarding anything, you got disliked alot of the times.
Its likely due to the fact your way of speech on any site regarding being open on anything, without concern of spoiling or saying things that is cringe to read about, might be the reason you got removed.
Im not pointing fingers, but you have ben a bit overactive with talking things related to the game, while some has ben cringe to read about or things that is not noted on itch yet as its not known to public here.
There's something in the way you reply...
It reminds me of an old friend...
He was kinda annoying, he wrote a lot, trying to spoon feed spoons, and by the end of his text, the point was missing and he confused more with his explanation
so, I played the demo, and I thought "yeah not bad, I will support the devs and buy the full game" just to purchase the full game and have it be completely different, I understand it is still in development, but the demo was much better to play
They remaking the game with the new unreal engine, so what you know from the demo is from the old build 0.75. Plus the new build is a early test build of the new engine.
Is there any information when the full or up to date version is coming on steam?
Right now there is not planned for a release date for Steam, since they are remaking the game with the new engine.
They only planning on Releasing it to Steam when its finnished.
Are any of the animations mocaped? curious question.
Nope, hand animated for the new stuff.
I don't get it how do I play the game? all I got was pressing launch and I gives me two identical video test links both do and say the same thing.
nvm i see what i did.
I apologize about that confusion!
Is there anything else you possibly need help with?
Any chance you could add a god mode so you don't fail when a monster girl reaches you? I'd like to coast through the game watching all the h-scenes.
Sure, but wouldn't it be better to just have an unlock all button?
Easymode is often preferred due to the feeling of completion it gives. Just scenes without context aren't as great as scenes with the context gained from interaction. Maybe an easy mode?
I'm playing 0.75 and I know that the doors have limited power so I waited for the bunny girl to look through the window before closing the door. She came in through the closed door anyway. Is it even possible to win?

I would wait if you want it on steam
In Heat is being handled by Critical Bliss for its steam release. If it were just us it would be dooable. However Contracts are contracts.
Its a rouge model planned for a sex animation.
A little bit of bonus content for you guys!
I really hope that this time you do not have any errors with the release of certain versions.
The final version for spring should be out now.
Then in the fall you will release the summer updates, and so on.
QUESTION, are you sure you won't have any problems with that?
It's just that when you promise but don't release, some people get questions like, when is the version new, shouldn't it have been out recently?
And yes I am very happy that you will make a brand new additional game(game in game).
It's a shame that Meddy won't show up, with its scrimmer and lust screamer (that's the one I was waiting for the most).
I'm waiting for a new version in the summer, as well as the opportunity to buy the game in steam (can not buy it on this site or through patreon).
The final version as done from the previous programmer indeed was speculated to come out rather early, A game with a 6 month development cycle, yes this was a possibility.

I already paid for the project but for some reason after logging in its wanting me to pay again, what do I do?
You can find the downloads at your profile at My Library.
From there, just head to the game and pick a download you want.
They update the downloads when they release a new build, so you dont have to worry about paying again for the next update.
Also if you scroll to the top of this site, you should see a text saying "You own this game" and a download butten near it.
Hey, is it impossible to play on macOS? I thought it was possible as it is written as downloadable for mac but I can't find a way to run it.
Its impossible as of right now, but we do now have a mac to build with.
Stay tuned!

Check out 0.75 if you want to see the last version of the unreal 4 engine.
ohh okay, thanks for replying
No problem!
I tried purchasing the game but after I confirmed payment it gave me an "We had an issue processing your payment" message. Pls help
Are you paying with paypal or stripe?
Paypal
Odd, is there any issues with your account on paypal?
I don't think so but maybe it could be that I payed straight from my bank with paypal?
Might be? Itch has been doing a lot of updates lately so it could be that?
This week ari will have a jumpscare.
A mystery artist will be working on Saya very soon.
Saya will be handled by a guest artist.
Can you add this on android pleas
I love when these games have galleries but is there a way to fullscreen the scenes in them? haven't been able to find out how yet
version .801 seems a little bare compared to the rest, so I assume this is mostly just to show off the new performance and everything right? I just wanted to make sure I'm not missing anything, cause right now the gameplay is wait, wait, close the door, wait, open door, wait, fix problem on camera, then repeat until the nights over, the night selection screen is weirdly disorganized with the order being "night 1" "night 10" "night 2" "night 5" and "night 8", and when you finish a night it says "you are win" which im not sure is intentional- but i am absolutely loving how things look right now and there is so much potential for this rebuild!

Thank you for letting me know! I cant wait to see the updates and will 100% be buying it either after the updates or when its complete!
yo, if i buy this game now, do i gotta pay again to download later versions?
No.
Just head to My Library on your profile when you have bought it.
You should be able to download any current and future files they place for download.
I don't know why other game devs do that, its pretty scummy.
Once you buy it, you gain access to all future updates.
Thanks for the reply!
Is there/will there ever be size change features/episodes ? Or size difference at least?
I bought the game a while ago, will I be able to get the steam version for free when it releases or do I need to buy it again?
Please, put back closing cameras with right click instead of just the 'X' on the corner...
Will do!
The new build 0.801 Seems to not support ultrawide screen resolutions, because the stage room with the lever cant be interacted if you use a standard resolution of 3440x1440 or similar.
But if you change your computers display to 1920x1080, its possible to play it correctly. Seems playing in ultrawide, cause it to fill out to the sides, and makes the top and bottom cropped out.
Gotcha, Thank you for the information. Ill get this added to the todolist!
Are you using 0.75 or 0.801?
I do not know, sorry. How do I see it?
I'm from Brazil so sorry for any english mistakes
hello?
file in blue, I think
I can tell quality is going up, good work. One criticism is navigating the cameras is kinda a pain with the tiny X in the top left. Also, Poppi T-pose :P
Fits Poppi's character.
