Mirage 0.3.5 is released!
Dear Steam users,
I want to thank you for your patience. This version could not be possible without your financial support and without your constant feedback. I read all messages on Steam Community forums and Discord to create the best game for you and for me :)
Changelog for 0.3.5:
********
How to update Mirage?
To update the game close Steam app completely by right-clicking on small Steam icon at the bottom right corner of the screen (you may need to click on "Arrow" symbol first to reveal a full list of running apps) and select "Exit". Then launch Steam again and Mirage should start updating.
********
Why it took you so long to release Mirage 0.3.5?
During all this time (from initial Mirage release) I worked every day on Mirage. On three tasks:
1) My custom C++ physics engine. It's extremely complex to develop but it's awesome and this is the main part of Mirage I am most excited about. I will share more details about it when I'm ready.
2) Importers of custom characters and 3D objects
3) Mirage 0.3.5
As a result of such time sharing I have written more than 12,000 lines of C++ source code for the physics engine. It's a lot and every line of code is created specifically for Mirage taking human body physics into account.

What's next?
Next is Mirage 0.4 - Importer of Daz content (characters, clothes, hair styles).
Working on it.
Then I plan to release:
Thank you all, guys!
