Hi folks! The last two months have been packed with new features for VirtualSociety! Here’s everything you need to know.

Lenny has worked hard on the behavior of non-playable characters (NPCs). The result? It’s now easy to define how they react in various situations! Some follow you, others run away, and some just watch you. A first version of dialogue is now integrated into the game! NPCs can be configured to adapt their behavior based on conditions, dialogue responses, etc.

Lenny also streamlined and greatly improved the interaction UI: the bulky outlines for objects and characters are gone. Instead, a small dot appears above interactive items or characters, turning into an icon when you're close enough and it’s the item you’ll interact with by pressing the action key (or tapping on mobile). It’s much cleaner and simpler on both PC and mobile!

On my side, I reworked character body shape adaptability. Whether you’re short, tall, slim, broad, male, female, or non-binary: everything now adapts naturally — including the clothes! I’ve also started reintroducing many outfits we had removed due to character model changes. T-shirts, shirts, and other garments with fully customizable patterns and colors are back — even the size and rotation of patterns can be tweaked for maximum flexibility!

I’ve significantly improved performance on mobile and low-end PCs. Jimmy continued enhancing the building editor tools, and Chloé is preparing gameplay videos that we’ll be sharing very soon!

Most importantly, we’re thrilled to announce our new partnership with the JB Thiery association, which supports individuals with disabilities, particularly those with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and NDD (Neurodevelopmental Disorders). This is a huge step for us — we’ll share more in a dedicated article soon!

Thanks for your support, and see you soon!

Hey everyone!

Today, we’re excited to finally share a first look at something we’ve been working on for years: the character editor! (There’s a video on the game page — go check it out! 🎥)

In this short demo, you’ll get a glimpse of the foundation of our creation system — designed to offer freedom, deep customization, and true representation.

Here’s what’s already possible:

✅ Choose your pronouns: he, she, they, or even custom entries
✅ Define your attractions: no fixed labels, just what fits you
✅ Morphology sliders to adjust gender, body type, chest, hips, and love handles
✅ Add custom outfits (for modders) — no need to touch the game code or Unreal Engine. We use a simple config format with in-game mod sharing tools built in!

This is a major milestone for us, and we’d love to hear what you think. Your feedback, ideas, and suggestions help guide us in the right direction.

The editor is still in development, but what you see today already reflects our core vision: a safe, inclusive, and respectful space for all identities.

Thank you for your continued support ❤️
