Hi, I uploaded Beta 1.2 a while ago featuring new emotes, a few features and a few bugfixes. It's been a while since the last update, I know. A lot of things are happening with my mental health, and I had some trouble getting this done. The development schedule will slip behind for a bit, sorry about that. In any case, try to enjoy this update.

Duo emotes

Duo emotes are now available, with 16 different emotes to do together with someone, and that even includes game characters! Wanna play a little hand game, be carried around, beg for help or give a warm hug? Or even hold hands? Follow around? You can now. It's an expansion of the emote menu, splitting it in to Solo emote and Duo emotes, and both can be brought up by pressing E, or Shift+E while aiming at someone, or clicking on someone to bring the menu up! In addition, Solo emotes now have extended versions, which are triggered when long-pressing the emote button. You can cancel them by pressing Backspace or moving your character. In addition, you can now toggle on auto-accepting duo emotes in Contacts. This is a long-awaited feature that I wanted to add before Beta, as a prototype of hugging and hand holding was in the very early prototypes - so finally, they're here.

Young rabbit and TTS updates

Rabbit (young) is now available for funders, and soon, to the Kemze e-shop. Feel like running around with those flat feet and floppy ears? Of course you want, so now you can. Rabbit (young) features the same clothing and haircuts as the equivalent dog and cats. Unrelated to tiny bunnies, the TTS was updated to fix a few issues, including the ability to pronounce s-stutters properly, pronouncing {bold} and \italics\ in a more "normal" way, and fixing the "wobble" tts effect (/ttseffect wobble) to sound more sarcastic.

Chatting and other improvements

Chatting was improved as well, with a sleeker looking interface, a new "text preview" feature which will preview the final text underneath the chatbox, and a new text formatting feature, which when selecting text, will show handy text effect formatting options. In addition, chat bubbles can now be less fancy (disabling animations or color). Ctrl+Enter was added to preview a written text message, which now also previews the pronunciation.

Parts of the interface and gameplay was improved for a smoother experience. Broken savefiles are now recovered automatically, Occupied mode, if on, now shows very obviously on the chat bar, and the escape menu was split in to various categories to add some more settings relating to the chatting experience. Autotexts and auto-schedule loading is now also fixed. Canceling actions (Backspace) now clears your animations and body manipulations in a more logical order. Right arm manipulation, as well as IK placement, now rotates more correctly.

Other changes

There is now a Mac version available, please try it out as I don't have a proper Apple computer device to test it with.
