I purchased this game here as part of a bundle over a year ago. However, if I’m understanding this correctly, I don’t get access to the most current build here? As of this post, version 39 is the latest build available on Itch.io (which I believe I am downloading), but I’ve read that version 42 is currently available on Patreon.
Additionally, the version 39 that I just downloaded doesn’t seem to have any new content compared to what I played almost a year ago. Maybe I'm getting a bad download link, however, it seems like I have the same exact characters to play with and nothing new. For example, even the demo available on Steam includes content that isn’t present in version 39 here (namely, the dong shaper).
I appreciate the effort and creativity you’ve poured into this game, but the practice of restricting access to the most up-to-date builds to a separate paid subscription while asking us to wishlist the game on Steam may feel off-putting to some long-time supporters.
Between my past Patreon subscriptions and the original purchase of the game on Itch.io, I’ve already contributed more than enough to pay for what would be considered a full and legitimate copy of the game. Having more advanced versions on Patreon while offering older builds elsewhere creates confusion and may harm trust among your player base, especially as Steam’s Early Access guidelines encourage consistency across platforms.
For example:
Steam’s Early Access guidelines recommend that the same version of a game should not be made available later on Steam than on other platforms.
Pricing should also remain consistent across platforms, which could pose an issue if the content locked behind a separate Patreon paywall is perceived as being "more complete" than what’s available on Steam.
I’m a supporter and want to see your game succeed, but I’d strongly encourage you to consider aligning the versions and pricing across platforms before your game enters Early Access on Steam in January 2025. Transparency and fairness are key to building a loyal and satisfied community, and inconsistent practices like this may harm trust and reputation in the long run.
I want to be clear here - I'm trying to be constructive because I do want to see this game grow and I think it's it's an extremely creative idea.
Either way, thanks for reading, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this.
If I were the creator, there are some elements I would like to change, but I like the idea of this game. and also I wonder if I can use the dildo machin or it is not available in beta?
New update 39 BETA for iOS having troubleshoot. Since you unzip file and trying to click on app it says only ``app is damaged and cannot be opened,, with recommendation to bin it.
After I tried step to open file without start the game and get into terminal but the terminal is the issue and cannot be opened.
Watched a couple videos of gameplay and people seem to have different consoles in their lab. IE: the Fabricator and the Morph Station. I don't have these. Is it an unlock from progress or achievement or am I missing something?
small issue but the nerf gun, the ping pong gun and the disintegrator often get stuck in my hand (I'm on windows desktop mode). and it prevents me from using my hands and other tools. beta 39
Well, as this seems to be the main thread I copied my remarks for version 39 here: Ah, the proposed cameras have arrived, even with different modes - very nice!
But I don't see where their picture is shown?
Thanks a lot for fixing the death ragdolls. Contrary to the change log the death ragdolls are fixed for every device, you can now even switch to a different machine and position with the dead lady without having odd effects like in the previous versions.
I don't know if it's due to the fixed death ragdoll behavior or some other optimization, but the breast jiggling seems to be much better now. While it's still nearly not happening with the awake ladies, it's already visible for the sleeping ladies and perfect for the dead ladies.
Especially in the poser machine in the position selected by the top right button, going for vagina and using the second fastest thrust it's really awesome.
Not yet fully realistic but getting a lot closer. And you can see the different breast tendernesses, the best for my taste is the catwoman.
I really wish I wouldn't have to kill them to get the proper jiggling, though :-D
In this position in the poser machine the pubic hair of all ladies seems to have a bit of a glitch.
The automation ring is nice, but doesn't do too much to my fetishes... but tastes are different and it's a really interesting machine. I expect that it's perfect for a tickling fetish.
I'm still missing the dildo machine for the devious machine (at least I hope it's the name for the one that puts her in doggy style position).
And having a dual dildo option would also be cool similar to what you have in the automation ring.
I love the creampie animation on the x-ray machine. I'm also very happy with the cum dripping out from the pussy that arrived in the previous update though I think the cum should less liquid, more gel-like and therefore drip slower. And of course stay a lot longer... perhaps with a "clean" function similar to the "reset clothes" or simply a towel that you can use on her.
I still have to test the rest, but so far it's really great work!
Oh, and thanks for finally enabling putting in the cheat code via num pad, it was always a bit of a nuisance to do that by mouse in the desktop mode!
I stand corrected. The autmation ring is awesome if you use it right.
The new objective / achievement system really teaches you what you can do with the villain simulator, even though I sometimes try it with the wrong machine first. It took me a while to find out that the 10 orgasms in 20 seconds objective is absolutely easy to achieve on the automation ring, with the full genital tools at max speed plus a keep conscious serum you can have the girl orgasming nearly constantly. Add the orgasm refactory serum and she doesn't stop squirting at all anymore.
As the objective / achievement system works so well I don't know if the original instruction box on the left is still needed... feels kind of superfluous now.
And it took me a bit to discover the CnC mode, the game is better with a bit of protest.
Is it possible to add a way to adjust the rate at which clothes are disintegrated? Like have an option so the clothes get disintegrated slowly as opposed to a one shot.
Turns out itch just didnt tell me I ran out of space. But While we're at it, there doesnt appear to be a strafe control for the motion controllers. turn only.
Now that there's character customization and synth parts available, I would love to see some robotization content. Maybe make your test subject more submissive by forcing synth body parts, the synth belly or android's skin texture on her, have her voice change to the synthetic one and deliver some cheesy robot lines, and have her bemoan or be turned on by her loss of humanity.
Hi, I recently bought the game. I am a big fan of the creator of it. I play on mac and I currently have loads of bugs in the game. I am not sure if it's due to the version of the game or it's files.
I'm loving the game but I'm confused about if there's a thrust control in VR? I turned on auto-thrust in the main menu but it doesn't seem to carry over to the VR mode and it's not in the settings there.
First of all: keep up the good work. This is one of the best VR adult games. What I'd love to see in feature updates:
1. Save game. It's annoying that you can't resume the game where you left it off, but have to start all over again 2. Beeing able to set another clone free and let him do all the things possible 3. Beeing able to select two girls and letting them engage in lesbian activities or let the one do all the things possible to the other 4. Healing potions. Not to heal wounds or whatever, but to increase life energy when you don't want to wait the character to heal 5. Maybe a mode, where the girl reaches a certain level of anger, that she frees herself and ties you up instead, so she can do all the things to you, including a way for the player to escape and switch roles again. 6. A possibility to undress the girls without the need to use the gun, but by using your virtual hands.
#1 There actually is a kind of save game already as the game remembers which girl & machine you used last. But of course it's completely without the current action. Still, I expect it shouldn't be too much work to additionally save the current stats of the girl, the status of the machine and which clothes were removed.
#2, #3 & #5 I expect that this takes a lot of effort to implement as the girls have to get way more active than they are now. Same goes for the clone.
#6 Would be nice but I expect that this will also be hard to implement. Simply tearing (or cutting) off light clothes like the underwear is one thing, but removing the armor would be... interesting to implement. Probably you'd have to add some mechanism that you can activate with your virtual hands.
#1 I know, but without the current state it's not really a save game. As you said before: hopefully shouldn't be that hard to implement and may find its way in to one of the next updates.
#6 Actually I don't think that it is that hard to implement. I just want to be able to undress without using the gun. No wild animations or things like that needed. And I know that the gun serves a purpose, since you have to find the right intensity to remove parts without "blowing her up". And it's part of the achievement system. So maybe the solution could be to not get any achievements if you undress without the gun.
And by the way: while playing recently I thought that since fingering is already possible, fisting would be a nice addition too.
Hi 1- We are working persisting more and more data as we se fit and the development advances
6- We dont want to implement a fake point and click to vanish clothes, most of the game follows some rules and as a sandbox is expected clothes would react to being pulled. Since the complication lies on cloth simulation we wont be implementing this feature.
Thank you. Just one more question: As anyone else I love the character creator. The only thing I'm missing is the possibility to create more mature models. It is possible to create quite young ones. Maybe you could include the possibility to set the age to create cougars. I've seen something like that creators of similar games.
Anyone got a fix for the VR not working ? Tried everything I could but nothing seems to work. Camera isn't at the correct height, can't move or press any button. Any help would be appreciate

do you ever plan on making a quest port for this?
We don't have plans for it yet
Will they release a version for Android?
Android is not in the scope
Does the Beta 42 will be available also for itcho users?
Yes in a couple of months
If I were the creator, there are some elements I would like to change, but I like the idea of this game. and also I wonder if I can use the dildo machin or it is not available in beta?

Without admin repair is unable to fix it I guess.
Let us know about updates! :)
I am having the same problem
seems like admin do not reply so we can just wait…
This doesn't work on my mac??? Tried redownloading twice, still same error. No option in the security tab to open anyway :/
Can I get refunded?
Watched a couple videos of gameplay and people seem to have different consoles in their lab. IE: the Fabricator and the Morph Station. I don't have these. Is it an unlock from progress or achievement or am I missing something?
Some features are not public yet, they will come in future versions
when will there be another beta?
Hi, probably within a month
When i buy it from here do i get the newest update and have the game for ever
yes
Will Simplified Chinese be added to this game in the future
Probably, we are still considering languages and at what point of development we will add them
Hello, you can purchase it on Itch.io for $19.99
Wish there was a stuck in wall or stuck in machine mode
small issue but the nerf gun, the ping pong gun and the disintegrator often get stuck in my hand (I'm on windows desktop mode). and it prevents me from using my hands and other tools. beta 39
Thanks, we are investigating that issue
I have macbook m3 (sequoia 15.1) and beta 39 stopped working on it. But beta 38 works fine.
can you please add more tickle spots like the stomach and also more tickle tools like a electric toothbrush or idk!!
Will early release work on Steam deck?
It seems I can only use the demo...?

yes

Sorry, that is not possible
( Edit: never mind, my fault. ) beta 39 flickers rapidly then freezes shortly after loading while using WMR HPreverbG2
Can you check if any of this helps?

Turns out itch just didnt tell me I ran out of space. But While we're at it, there doesnt appear to be a strafe control for the motion controllers. turn only.
do you plan on adding a futa serum or more types of characters ?
Hello, futa is out of scope. We will be adding more vanila characters along the way.
Just as a hint so that it isn't overlooked: I placed a comment for the new version in the development link of Beta 39.
Struggling to figure out what im meant to do for the neck option
Try using the hand interaction on the neck
if you mean the one that allows to choke i have, bar doesnt fill up unless im missing something
Edit: Nvm i figured it out
could you perhaps share your solution? I feel kind of dumb, but I can't get it to work either
with the open hand u need to keeping clicking your mouse, as holding down the mouse button doesnt fill the bar. But tapping the mouse button does
If that doesnt work then it sound slike a bug, we will look into that!
Getting an error every time i deny a synth cum. Also reset progression doesn't work.
Seems you had some corrupted data from a previous version of the game. You need to delete this folder:
Note: This will remove any custom characters and settings you have.
Seems that TVS-Beta-39-mac is broken
When I start it says
“TheVillainSimulator” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.
In the terminal, type xattr -c (path to app or just drag the app into the terminal)
That should fix it.
didn't help, how about you
Didn't work running Sonoma 14.2.1 but works fine on Sequoia 15.1.1.
if you bought the itch.io version can we still get newer updates somehow?
yes
Now that there's character customization and synth parts available, I would love to see some robotization content. Maybe make your test subject more submissive by forcing synth body parts, the synth belly or android's skin texture on her, have her voice change to the synthetic one and deliver some cheesy robot lines, and have her bemoan or be turned on by her loss of humanity.
We have been working on some of those things!

if i suggest stuff to improve the game is it fine ? sorry if its not the right place. i really like the game.
do u need vr?
no you can choose vr or non vr play in the game menu
Anyone got a fix for the VR not working ? Tried everything I could but nothing seems to work. Camera isn't at the correct height, can't move or press any button. Any help would be appreciate
