This patch strengthens the foundations of the garden: AI behavior, interaction logic, audio consistency, saving systems, and new storage functionality.

🎮 Controls & Camera

A conflict between two colliders caused the Q button not to work.

In photo mode, the character could see themselves when turning left. In first-person view, the character could see themselves when turning left.

During sex with AI, pressing “go sing” made the character crawl toward the microphone. Opening the menu during intercourse is now disabled.

The camera could not be picked up on the first try — the R button became inactive and did not respond.

If you placed the camera near drinks and tried to interact, the character froze.

All interaction logic has been stabilized.

🌸 AI & Interaction Fixes

AI constantly got stuck and only started moving after the player walked near them.

Doors did not react to AI — when going to private areas, AI walked straight through them.

After using the restroom, AI did not close the door.

Female AI used male walking animations.

If AI approached during sex with NPC, it was impossible to disengage without restarting the game.

Trying to interact with NPCs that do not support interaction caused the menu to stop opening.

AI now behaves naturally. Interactions are stable and predictable.

🔊 Audio Fixes

After sex with AI, the character continued moaning.

During AI self-pleasure, the sound was non-localized and audible from anywhere in the garden.

After sex with AI, AI moaning did not stop.

Stopping music only affected the current track.

When switching music, chat did not display the track name and number.

Ambient rain sound played only from one side of the scene.

Audio is now properly localized, synchronized, and consistent.

🖥️ UI Improvements

The gray name color was replaced with blue to match the button color.

In circular menus, the placeholder text “Button name” appeared before hovering. Tooltips now display correctly immediately.

Some tables had labels while others did not.

Interface consistency has been improved across the garden environment.

💾 Save & Persistence Improvements

Pickup items did not save their position after restarting the game.

After restart, selected item colors did not always persist.

Wearable items like dildos, straps, and similar objects now remember where you left them. Previously, after restarting the game, they returned to their original spawn positions.

Saving player position by pressing “Save Position” in the menu.

Your items stay where you leave them. Your selections are preserved.

📦 Storage System Added

Possibility to carry boxes and put things inside.

Boxes are now functional storage objects. You can carry them and use them to organize items around the garden.

🎵 Music System

Fixed an issue with music switching.

Music logic is now stable and properly synced with chat notifications.

👤 Personalization

Now you can set your own nickname in the settings menu instead of using the computer name as it was before.

Your identity in the garden is now truly yours.

Final Words

This is a foundation update.

The garden is smoother. Interactions are stable. Audio behaves correctly. Items persist. AI acts naturally.

Gardens of Lust and Desire is now cleaner, more stable, and more immersive than ever.
