๐ŸŒณ
Family Tree & Family Management
Added
Brand new Hourglass Family Tree
You're now at the center of your Member Portal's family view โ€” parents and grandparents above, children below, siblings to the left, spouses to the right (with pink trim). Decorative frames, connector lines, and the ability to click any person to open their profile card.
Multiple families supported. If you belong to more than one family, you'll see a switcher at the top with role badges โ€” gold for Head, blue for Co-Head. Switch instantly between families to view each tree.
Added
Family Admin upgrades
Heads can now promote a member to Co-Head, transfer Head status to another member, and members can leave a family they no longer want to be part of.
๐Ÿ‘ค
Genetics & Traits โ€” New Customizations and Traits
Fixed
Skin Tone scale overhauled
The skin tone selector now uses a proper dark-to-light progression with new shades: Dark, Brown, Tan, Olive, Golden, Medium, Light, Fair, Very Fair.
Didn't get to choose these traits when you registered? No worries โ€” they're available in the My Genetics tab on the web portal. Everyone who hasn't had a chance to pick yet can do so for free. You may also change any individual trait one time.
Added
Custom option for traits
Pick "Custom..." in any trait dropdown and type your own โ€” there's a helpful hint reminding you it'll inherit as a dominant heritable trait.
Added
New facial features at registration
The Core HUD now asks about Freckles, Dimples, and Cleft Chin during registration โ€” these become real heritable traits. Height step also added to Core HUD registration.
Added
Age-conditional hair color
Grey and white hair now actually expresses with age โ€” your underlying genetic color shows through until you cross the threshold for greying alleles, then your portal updates automatically.
๐Ÿฅ
Clinic & Appointment System
Added
Group Treatments (new top-level tab)
Physicians and clinics can now schedule group sessions โ€” yoga, group therapy, prenatal classes, anything. Members get a full event calendar with month/week toggle and category color chips.
  • Click any session for full info โ€” date, time, host, capacity, description
  • RSVP if you want โ€” optional unless the host requires it
  • Capacity tracking โ€” see X/Y RSVPs at a glance; sessions show a clear red FULL banner at capacity with instructions to contact the host in-world
  • Past sessions remain visible in a history view
Added
Physician schedule-time calendar preview
Physicians now see what else is scheduled when booking their own sessions โ€” an embedded mini-calendar shows all upcoming group sessions across all physicians and clinics, so you don't "accidentally" double-book against a colleague.
Added
Clinic Sessions tab for owners and managers
Schedule sessions on behalf of your clinic or any physician at your clinic.
๐Ÿ“
Treatment Clipboard
Fixed
Works without the Medical HUD nearby
Treatment Clipboard now self-bootstraps your physician ID on rez, so you can drop it in your clinic and start using it immediately โ€” no need to be wearing your Medical HUD.
Fixed
Better error messages
Instead of confusing "Physician ID not received" errors, you'll see clear messages: "Ready. Physician ID loaded." on success, or a specific actionable message if you're not registered.
Fixed
Display names resolve correctly
Patients now show as their registered Roleplay name (e.g. "David Burns") in approval messages instead of their SL username.
๐Ÿฉบ
Medical HUD Fixes
Fixed
Records save again
Fixed the issue where SOAP notes returned "Record could not be saved. Please try again." Records now route through a proper security function and save reliably.
Fixed
Sample Cups work again
Fixed the "Sample storage failed: 401" RLS error when filling sample cups. Cups now write through the proper authenticated path.
Fixed
Labour Gloves now actually function as a physician tool
The Labour Gloves were running a copy of the mother's Labour Add-on (a script overwrite by mistake) โ€” meaning if a physician rezzed them, they tried to put the physician into labour instead of letting them control the birth. They've been rebuilt from scratch as a proper physician-side tool that:
  • Rezzes in the delivery area to control the flow of birth
  • Discovers nearby labouring mothers via secure server lookup
  • Lets the physician advance labour stages and record the birth through the secured endpoint
  • Surfaces clear error messages if the toucher isn't a registered physician
๐Ÿคฐ
Female HUD / Labour System
Fixed
Labour Add-on script updated
Updated to the new security model โ€” all labor event writes now go through proper authenticated endpoints.
๐Ÿ†
Male HUD โ€” New Items & Conception
Added
Pack of Condoms
A new wearable item with 12 uses. Click to Use on Self, Offer to another GeneCode male/intersex user, or Use it on them directly (they confirm). Worn protection shows up in your HUD as Protection: ON/OFF.
State persists โ€” detaching or relogging won't lose your remaining uses.
Added
Condom degradation
Each orgasm rolls against a degrading reliability tier โ€” 1st use is safe, 2nd drops to moderate, 3rd to cautious, 4th+ to flipping a coin. Push your luck and find out. Outcomes are works, silent fail (you'd never know), or visible break.
Added
Stolen Condom โ€” "Baby Trap" mechanic
If a male Removes (instead of Discards) a used condom, it lingers in the area for 30 minutes. Any GeneCode female nearby can scan for unclaimed used condoms and pick one up โ€” opening a path to opportunistic conception attempts via the Use Stolen flow.
Broken condoms can't be stolen usefully (nothing left worth taking). Discarded condoms are gone forever.
๐Ÿคฐ
Natural Conception โ€” Major Fix
Fixed
Natural conception now actually works
The full pipeline was built but inert because nothing was advancing the female cycle โ€” most females were stuck out of their fertile window forever, and every natural conception attempt silently failed at the "not in fertile window" check.
Cycles now advance properly and the conception engine fires as designed: secret % base rate ร— father's fertility ร— father's motility, gated on fertile window and existing pregnancy state.
Added
Conception engine wired to condom failures
When a condom silently fails or visibly breaks, conception odds get boosted by a percentage.
๐Ÿ’Š
Plan B โ€” New
New
Plan B Emergency Contraception pill
Single-use item. Add and click to take, confirm in dialog, and the pill consumes itself. 75% chance to terminate an in-window pregnancy.
Eligibility (checked server-side):
  • Must be registered and female or intersex
  • Must currently be pregnant
  • Pregnancy must be within the last 24 hours
  • Symptoms must not have appeared yet โ€” once your body knows, it's too late
If the pill fails, your pregnancy continues โ€” and you've still used the pill.
