Major Content Update - Cosmetics | Drakes | Centaurs and More!

Hey Everyone!

The long awaited Major Content Update has dropped including huge customization upgrades, new sex scenes and more!

Confused on how to get the update? Until there is content parity with the Unreal Engine 4 release, the UE5 Preview will remain available via a Beta Branch on Steam, to access this latest update, right click on the game in your library -> properties -> betas -> click "ue5_beta". You're in!

Let's get into what's new:

Customization was one of our biggest focuses this update, bringing you a huge new array of customization options for your character.

We've remade all the old Human Hair with new models, materials and with the ability for you to pick your own Hair Colours.

Because sharing is caring, all of the 6 revamped hair styles are now also available on Felian and Jackals. For all Forms we've picked out "Canon" and non-canon hair colours, giving you the choice between what we've curated as the best look for the form and giving you the choice to have any option you'd like to be.

Body Markings

Tattoos have come to Sabu with this update, bringing different styles and colours for every form and body type (except formless).

In the customization menu you can pick through different Tattoo styles, selections, choose the colour, pigment blend and give the tattoos a metallic sheen (this is especially great for Draconids and Crocs); this update brings 12 Tattoo Styles and 29 Tattoo Colours so far.

Makeup

Similar to Body Markings, Makeup is now available for every form and body type, giving you 11 Makeup Styles and 25 Makeup Colours to choose from.

(Sorry we have to crush these GIFs down to <5MB)

Eye colour has been a long requested feature that we've now added and made available for All Forms and Body Types minus Crocodiles and Formless due to their unique eye situation.

62 Unique Eyes are available so far with CatsEye and Round Pupils available, similar to Hair, we've curated Canon Eye colours for every Form, but you're free to choose any that you'd like!

Bouncy Bouncy

Boob Physics and Ass Physics have been changed with this update, with boobs receiving physics enhancements and some extra logic for fitting and being managed by clothing and scaling properly with size for those who like to have a smaller chest.

Ass physics got some love, with the junk in the trunk having some extra bounce and spring, this is most noticeable when the sliders cranked up. This is utilizing a lot of the work we already put in for the DSS scenes.

• Minoan Formless - These are a Formless Subtype that are subservient to their Minoan owners, adorned with their markings and piercings.

• Sekhru Felian

• Bald Felian

• Zuganti Humanoid (Monstrous)

• Virethi (Monstrous)

Humans were long overdue some TLC and so along with the above cosmetic upgrades, they've got some specific changes.

-Complexion

Humans were looking a bit pristine despite being baked in the Sabu Sun for so long, so we've upgraded their Skin Colours and added some tan lines. This is completely optional between Sunkissed, Tanned and Unblemished Complexions which are available in the Cosmetic Shrine.

-Body Hair

Our Humans were looking a bit bare in the Body Hair department, choose between a trimmed and managed look or go WILD. Four body hair options are available for all Human Subforms.

-New Face Morphs

Humans now have access to 8 new face morphs to replace the two ethnicity sliders that were there before, giving you far more control over the look and style of each human face. This along with hair colours, eye colours and defaults makes each Human Subform much more distinct. Look forward in the future to seeing more humans in the world!

NEW DSS2 SCENES

Four new DSS2 scenes are available this update:

• Sarratu the Queen Drake, our long awaited Drake companion has found herself captured in Dra'koq isle at the hands of Exotic breeder Ozier. Enter her pit at your peril as you may find yourself at her mercy.

• Ozier, the Nubian Centaur, our latest Centaur scene, the Dominant male will treat you as their personal broodmare given the opportunity but this scene is available for all Forms and Body Types.

• Sarratu's Gatekeeper is available for players to give blowjobs and is easily distracted from his duties. This however is not a repeatable scene as Sarratu's Gatekeeper is part of a future mini-quest.

• The Disgraced Anubite that is scorned by Amansi during Good Tombkeeping is now avaialble as a repeatable Blowjob DSS scene in the Anubite Camp nearby. Frustrated after his experience you can find him hiding in the nearby ruins so you can bring him some much needed relief.

The long awaited return of the Khopesh is here! Available currently in two subtypes, Old & New. These have been balanced to fit in around the existing weapon choices in the world and that's where you'll have to find them hidden away for now!

Arrows have been expanded, when we reworked bows and arrows last update we added Bronze and Heavy Arrows, there's now two more Subtypes available. Anubite Arrows, these are a mid-range cost & damage arrow available from the Bowyer. Inquisition Arrows, these are poison tipped and can be found on the Inquisition and the Bowyer.

KORVOTH'S SCEPTRE

With all these Cosmetic changes it'd be remiss if we didn't also make it easier to change the look of your character on the go! With Korvoth's Sceptre you can now access the Cosmetic and Genital customization screen from anywhere.

WORLD EXPANSION & IN-DEVELOPMENT AMBIENT SEX SCENES

As always we've been expanding the world with new environment art and world building to continuously bring you all more of the world of Sabu. There's also the UE4 area which is now in the world in-progress but is inaccessible until it's completed.

Ambient Sex Scenes are something we've been working on and experimenting with that are small non-dss scenes around the world that the player can join-in on, there's none available yet but you can see some of their in-development sex scenes hidden around the world now.

Strike a pose! A new photo mode is in Beta to get those beauty shots and desktop backgrounds you've been looking for. You can pan, tilt, zoom, freeze time, change the time of day and pick pose animations (we'll add more!).

There's a major bug with taking screenshots due to an engine issue, and rather than delay the update further it's shipping without the screenshot saving feature working; this will be fixed soon.

We hope you all enjoy the latest update, thanks for your support!
