SHF 3 v0.17a - Faces and more

This dev build is part of an upgrade to character faces and movement, and also adds a bunch of iterative improvements. 

There were only a small set of expressions before, and I disliked how you'd have two characters next to each other making the exact same face. Now, it'll pick randomly from similar faces to add variety, so there'll be differences even if you're doing the same thing to both ponies.

This opens the door to character-specific expressions. Shy vs outgoing, etc. Probably coming in the next update.

I also went through and made a bunch of small but significant improvements. Check the changelog below for the rest of the stuff!

Tier 2 patrons can play it early here <3 

Changelog

• WIP face system randomizes expressions. Feedback appreciated
• Lots of new expressions
• Added eyelashes to the females
• Struggling animation now has more variety
• You can now lock pussy and ass sizes by clicking the lock icon above their sliders. While locked, an orifice won't stretch out or tighten while you're using big toys
• Added a hidden "desire" meter. Desire slowly builds while you're playing with a character, filling the orgasm meter and making it drain more slowly. Desire resets upon orgasm. This makes it much more possible to make a character orgasm with a single toy on a slow fucking machine, but doesn't buff high-intensity vibrators. It has an added effect of arousing characters via tickling and torture (WIP)
• UI colors toned down to reduce visual clutter
• Machines trying to stuff a too-big toy into a character cause significantly more pain, to match what happens when you do it manually
• Machines more consistently produce "squish" sounds when on higher speeds

What's next?

Short-ish term

I want to make content easier to access for patrons, so I'll be testing a slightly different way of releasing patron-only content in May.

For SHF 3, I plan to make more character-specific expressions to match the pony personalities, and improve the wiggling/struggling to add more variety and responsiveness.

Also, I have a lot of work done on an "attention" system, which makes the characters look at and react to things around them. This means you could terrify them by holding a tickling brush near them, or tease them by holding a vibrator nearby when they're close to cumming. It also means they'd watch and react to each other.

Plus, I've been making the characters in this game more configurable with every update, getting ready to tackle more pony types and non-pony species.

In the next couple months

Fluid storage and transfer in SHF3.

I want to experiment with the Phaser HTML5 engine, so expect to hear about development on Secret Horse Files 4 soon. It's small in scope, and I won't be abandoning current projects to work on it. BUT, I think it'll be relevant to everyone's interests here. :3

Not sure when

Thanks to the more configurable characters in SHF, I've been working on a concept for a character creation program that would let you design an OC and import it into SHF3 and future games. It would be similar to Pony Creator, but with lewd bits. 

I have a text-based lewd game on the back burner. I think it's a pretty good concept, but I'd have to take a couple weeks off of the other games to dig into writing and development. Not sure when, but this'll be a thing at some point :3
