**LifePlay-Revival 2026.10.2.1a: the first alpha on Unreal Engine 5.8 is here!**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Dear Patrons,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A few weeks ago, I announced the takeover of LifePlay and the plan to move it to Unreal Engine 5.8, with a test build on UE 5.5 as a stepping stone. Thanks to your feedback on that build, we have now reached the next milestone: **the first alpha of LifePlay-Revival running on Unreal Engine 5.8**, version 2026.10.2.1a.
|

|

|
|
`LifePlay_Revival_2026.10.2.1a_Windows_Game.7z`, 1.29 GB, SHA-256 `89ed211dfae2233000fbec236a0c10fb784e4b948705ddf10d91be1c4a0898c0`
|
||
|
|
* Mods, one zip each (optional), available in our Discord channel: https://discord.com/channels/1555646159211733125/1555653916660596837
|
||
|
|
* `vin_Modules`: the optional modules of the original game;
|
||
|
|
* `lpr_hair_pocolov`: 12 hairstyles;
|
||
|
|
* `lpr_anim_quaternius` and `lpr_anim_freeanims`: new animations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**What's new in this alpha**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* **Reworked sex scenes.** The camera now follows the couple, and the controls were redesigned from the ground up:
|
||
|
|
* WASD (ZQSD on AZERTY) moves the camera;
|
||
|
|
* C switches between the scene view, a close view of the couple and each partner's eyes;
|
||
|
|
* left-drag the couple to place it anywhere on the floor or a bed, right-drag to turn it. The couple always stays inside the room;
|
||
|
|
* Alt or a middle click shows or hides the scene panel, and an "i" button lists all the controls.
|
||
|
|
* **Orgasm bonus** at the end of a scene, as in the last version of the original game.
|
||
|
|
* **Characters behave better in the world.** No more characters sinking into the street or standing inside each other, and seated characters no longer vanish when you turn the camera.
|
||
|
|
* **Your character walks with an animation** instead of sliding.
|
||
|
|
* **Instant map search**: the long freeze when searching all buildings is gone.
|
||
|
|
* **A separate save folder** (`%LOCALAPPDATA%\LifePlay-Revival\Saved`), so LifePlay-Revival never touches the saves of the original game. Copy your old `SaveGames` folder across if you want to keep playing them.
|
||
|
|
* **A lighter game with mods as separate downloads.** Install a mod by extracting its zip into the game folder, then enable it in the Mod Manager on the title screen. Mods made for this version are recognised by the game, and the game warns you if a mod was made for another version.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**This is an alpha**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The game is fully playable, but some rough edges remain:
|
||
|
|
* the characters of a saved game are still stored in the game folder (`LifePlay\Content\Saves`): keep that folder when you update;
|
||
|
|
* a graphics driver crash was seen once on one machine during testing; we are keeping an eye on it.
