This is the eleventh build following the release of Act 1. This build is not recommended for new players. New players should use v1.10 (currently live on Steam). This v1.11 Beta Build is the first build in a series of occasional experimental builds that can be used to preview new features, but may contain some game breaking bugs. On Steam, a new “beta” branch will be created so Steam players can check it out there.

We have been busy with localization, so I apologize that I couldn't show off anything more interesting. But I'm fixing bugs more quickly now (v1.12 will arrive within a month as a legit bug fix build) and I'm looking at getting new features done soon. Thanks for your patience and support! =}

• New Options Screen UX (added between v1.10.000 & v1.10.044 [internal localization build])
  • This is not a full redesign. I just wanted to move some things around to make the description easier to read, which is important in English and other languages, as well as playing on Android and Steam Deck. This is just one part of many changes I made to accommodate the 13 additional languages we plan to add! (I'd like to give you all a preview of the localization work next month.)
  • Android note: It's currently difficult to tap on the value selection arrows (“<” and “>”). I've already prepared a fix for the next version, v1.12!
• New desktop mouse cursor visibility option
  • Hidden During Gameplay (old/default)
  • Visible When Paused (new) [shows the mouse cursor on the pause menu]
  • Let me know what you think. Is this working correctly? Any other mouse cursor option you want to see here? =}

• Done between v1.10.000 & v1.10.044:
  • Fix: T#6 Rapidly switching between levels causes complete control lock-up.
  • Fix: HP bars are now hidden for enemies entering a multigrab.
  • Fonts are updated and text has been adjusted game-wide.
  • Added input glyph to Joe knocked out message: [“Press (A) to Continue”]
• Done between v1.10.044 & v1.11.000:
  • Fix: Map screen UI layering.
  • Fix: Speech bubble positioning and layering.
  • Fix: Area name waits for loading screen fade out.
  • Fix: Pause menu cursor has corrected oscillation.
  • Added extra logging around victory against Bates to help with the known issue.
• And even more fixes that are too trivial to list!

• Bates lockups:
  • The game may freeze (soft-lock) after beating Bates.
  • The game may freeze after the ending cutscene.
  • These issues may occur intermittently.
  • This bug reappeared while adding code for localization into different languages. We are still trying to find a solution for this. (If you encounter this issue, please send us a debug log!)
• Enabling and disabling touch controls will not immediately restore the mouse cursor if it was visible before.

(The following known issues for v1.11 already have fixes prepared for the next version, v1.12.)

• Android: Option screen value selection arrows are difficult to press.
• Clicking/tapping on a value selection arrow makes the category name invisible (black text on black background).
• When entering an area and then pausing the game, the area name overlays the pause menu.
• On the title screen, entering and exiting the options screen makes the “Options” text on the title screen bigger and bigger.
• Title screen back button:
  • The title screen back button is difficult to click/tap on (only visible with touch controls enabled or mouse cursor visible when paused).
  • This button is going away in the next version. Starting in v1.12, you can click/tap the “Oh So Hero! Act 1 Main Menu” corner banner to return to the initial “Oh So Hero!” title screen.
• All Known Issues

This is the tenth build following the release of Act 1. This build finalizes Joe's Throw Moves! This is a feature we've been hinting about for the past several months, and has come out of beta since v1.09. We hope you enjoy yeeting those opponents as much as you enjoy romancing them~ We also have new idle/walking animations, gallery improvements, and various fixes. We expect to have news of upcoming work to share with patrons/substars before the end of the month. In the meantime, please enjoy this new v1.10 build of Oh So Hero!

• Joe's Throw Moves! (Now out of beta~)
  • Throw DOWNED ENEMIES and CRATES in one of multiple directions: DOWN or to either SIDE!
  • Hold down the Tactical Stance button and press Down to Down Throw, or Left/Right to Side Throw.
    • Tactical Stance defaults to R1/RB on a controller, or F on the keyboard.
    • Tactical Stance will be expanded upon in future acts.
  • Joe's Throw Moves are now enabled by default. They can be turned on and off in the Skills menu.
    • The Beta Throw Moves setting in the Options screen has been removed.
  • The Throw Moves skill is granted by a new item, Weighted Shorts, which Joe starts with by default in both new and existing saves. View it in the Inventory or Skills screen for additional info.
  • Thrown enemies now collide with solid objects and enemy blockers (invisible barriers) such as the enemy gauntlet boundaries.
  • The Tactical Stance button has been added to Android Touch Controls (needed for Throw Moves).
  • Some other fixes and minor improvements have been made to Joe's Throw Moves since beta.
• New Animations
  • Ryuta has a new idle animation (by Arty & Red).
  • O'Deere & Signal have new walking animations (by Red) that play when these enemies move into position to voyeur while Joe is engaged in sex with another character.
• Trailer Mode
  • The Trailer Mode feature has returned! This was originally added during development to aid in creating trailers for the game.
  • Press T on the keyboard to hide the HUD/UI, and press it again to restore the interface.
    • Trailer Mode is not bound to controllers by default, but you can bind it in the Key Bindings screen.
  • Trailer Mode has no effect in the Pause Menu or Options screen.

• Downed Enemy Glow
  • Enemies that have been knocked down but have HP remaining (Downed state) are now outlined with a yellow glow. This is useful for multiple reasons:
  • 1. It indicates you can throw this opponent (down or to the side).
  • 2. It indicates you can have sex with this opponent to get loot gems.
    • By contrast, sex with a KO'ed (stars VFX) opponent grants no loot gems.
  • 3. The glow oscillates and fades based on the downed time, providing a visual timer for when the opponent will get back up!
• Enemy Gauntlets
  • Enemies that are spawned inside a gauntlet and manage to escape through collision foolery are instantly knocked out to prevent soft locks.
    • There is a known issue where this sometimes doesn't happen (T#254).
• Gallery
  • Added a lock icon to gallery entries that are unlocked at 100% gallery completion (Brask's Palace is the only one at this time).
  • Added entity completion stars next to gallery entity names.
    • A solid star (★) means all animations are unlocked for an entity.
    • A hollow star (☆) means some animations are unlocked for an entity.
    • A question mark (?) means no animations are unlocked for an entity.
    • And as mentioned above, a lock icon means it is unlocked at 100% gallery completion.
• Various Fixes
  • Fix: Second interaction with certain characters will freeze the game T#247.
  • Fix: Act 1 End Credits softlock the game T#245/T#230/T#216.
  • Fix: Enemies should voyeur if Joe has NSP #1360.
  • Fix: Excessive box breaking sounds in Sheo Islands Beach T#155.
  • Fixed colliders around the alien ship in Sheo Islands Beach.
  • Made minor text changes in preparation for game localization.
• And even more fixes that are too trivial to list!

• Joe attempts to throw KO-ed enemy T#249.
• Throwing crates at swooned/KOed enemies moves them T#250.
• Incorrect movement of Amaru body on the crane T#251.
• Speech bubble graphic bug on ultra widescreen (21:9) T#252.
• Behind O'Tary at Hiroto Dojo Secret Basement T#253.
• Enemies can escape slightly outside gauntlets T#254.
• Very short hops may glitch out Joe's animations T#255.
• Sex with thrown KO'ed enemy grants loot gems T#256.
• All Known Issues

This is primarily a bug fix build, but we have an additional feature in development we are close to completing, so we're allowing beta access to it in this build: Joe's Throw Moves!
