As I mentioned earlier in Dev Notes, in this update, I decided to focus solely on the  story with the addition of 18+ content. Several plot scenes I initially intended to include did not make it into the build (for example,  appearances of "Another" in certain moments and more varied scenarios with  the mannequin infected). In the upcoming patch, which I plan to release  early next year, I will try to implement these along with adding sound effects to the sex scenes.

What's new:

Complete Operation "Zone of  Silence" by resolving the dilemma and meet the new hybrid, who may become a romantic interest in the future.

The other day I switched to Windows 11. I should have done
it a long time ago since my computer was already clogged with all sorts
of junk and was running noticeably slow. Before installing the new
system, I made sure all my important files were stored not on C:, and
after completing all the procedures, the first thing I did was launch
DAZ only to see... complete emptiness. No saved scenes, no characters,
nothing. For a second, my face became exactly like that of the guy from
the "It's over" meme, but then I remembered how I'd already wrestled
with setting up content library paths a few years ago. As it turns out,
by default everything saves to system folders on the C: drive, but back
then I had already moved my documents and downloads to another drive so
as not to clog up the already limited free space on the system drive (I
remember the times when I had to install Cyberpunk 2077 there because it
was the only SSD in the system unit).

So yeah, a day of intense frustration and wasted nerves, and I finally managed to restore everything back to how it was.

The biggest problems came from the DAZ to ZBrush bridge, because the old version of the plugin is nearly impossible to find now, and the new version requires the latest versions of both programs. Luckily for me, I still had an archive in my old downloads with the old plugin, which I originally installed back when the developers suddenly decided to make the plugin PAID. And unless you enter a serial number, it won't work, even if you installed everything correctly and downloaded the old version. Fortunately, I had a license key for the version I had "acquired for free," and after that, everything pretty much worked as intended — I just had to deal with ZBrush, which started throwing out some absolutely mind-boggling errors. That's exactly when I decided to use DeepSeek for help, and man, neural networks are incredibly useful for solving problems like this. It's a shame people sometimes rely on them too much and overuse them in creative fields, producing AI slop.
