The 12/27 Pregnancy and Birth Update

Woooooooooo. Fuck, I'm tired.

Major Updates
- It's now possible to give birth. Yay! There are scenes for male/female children, as well as accounting for the possibility of catgirl/cowgirl/succubus TFs. If any TF is over 50%, you will not have a normal human baby. Also, the scenes are mostly incomplete as the game currently stands. Yes, you can give birth, but it's kind of an automatic process. When I get the chance to flesh it out, I'll have things happen. There's some hints as to what I'm planning (cough*maria*cough) in the text.
   Notes
--> Baby gender is determined at time of conception, not at time of birth. Don't bother save-scumming.
--> Succubi, either partial (over 50%) or full, can only give birth to girls.
--> As mentioned, the baby you get doesn't do anything. Please don't tell me they're broken. They're not.
- At week 30 of a pregnancy, you will have the option of taking maternity leave. At week 33, you will be forced to do so. While on maternity leave, you will be paid automatically each morning that you would normally work (and I just realized I didn't disable the "You should get ready to work" messages...), but you will obviously not be eligible for bonuses/tips, promotions, or anything of that nature.

Minor Updates
- Added a new location: Hospital Room. Currently only for delivering babies, and only in passing, even, it will eventually have more significance.
- When you swap clothes (i.e. try to put on clothes while already wearing clothes), you will strip off your clothes and underwear, but nothing else. If you want to remove everything at once, you have to use the Strip command on the player portrait.

Bug Fixes
- Strip Naked command should now work properly. It was trying to remove underwear BEFORE removing clothes, which naturally didn't work and caused all kinds of problems.
- Issues that were causing the inability to remove/put on clothes should now be fixed. In theory. I tested it, anyway.
- Jewelry was not being worn when using the Get Dressed command. This has been fixed.
- Bathing suits were acting all funky. Fixed.
- Pregnancy books will now go to the right place when purchased (bookshelf if you have it, living room if you don't).

For New Players

Apparently, the RAGS game forums are down, preventing access to the 2.2.14.0 engine. So I've uploaded it to Mediafire. You can get it here.

Thursday, December 22, 2011

Update 12/22

Woot. Happy Chrismahanakwanzika.

Major Updates
- A variety of changes to pregnancy progression. NO, YOU STILL CANNOT GIVE BIRTH (yet). However, as your pregnancy progresses, things will happen. For example, you will find that exercise is not possible as your belly grows bigger. However, to make up for that, while pregnant, you will not gain weight as quickly. The only exercise option always available is yoga.

Minor Updates
- New Skill: Pregnancy/Parenting, along with some new books to increase it. This skill will not show up on the skill list unless it's relevant (you're pregnant or have a child). This skill will also have no direct bearing on the game, instead influencing certain things like endings.
- Get Dressed command should now apply gloves.
- Notes added to the Journalist and Services job folders to make it clear that they are not yet available.

Bug Fixes
- Clothing system retooled again. Should be working now.
- Fixed the cowgirl transformation so that it won't throw up errors.

Notes
- Pay attention to the descriptions. Someone reported that the building manager wasn't getting the player pregnant. The building manager always wears a condom during the Month of Sex option.

Plans
- I'm going to try to work on the game over the holidays, but I can't guarantee anything. There won't be any streams, regardless.
- I have to work next Tuesday (12/27), and will therefore not be streaming that day.
- Happy Holidays!

Tuesday, December 20, 2011

Update 12/20

What? Christmas? Why would that stop me?

Major Updates
- Sadly, none. Most of my time was spent on the stuff below.

Minor Updates
- New clothing: Maternity clothes. They are perfectly wearable, but the descriptions for them when you examine yourself are not working. That's because the descriptions will change as you become more pregnant over time, and I ran out of steam before I could implement that.
- New command: Stripper Job Locker -> Get Dressed For Work. This command will put on the clothes you wore last (or the waitress outfit, if you're still a waitress), and the shoes you wore more recently. If you are clothed when you use the command, you will automatically strip, too.

Bug Fixes
- Strip and Get Dressed have been fixed. There was a lot of shit to work on here. In addition to putting on and taking off clothes, it was important to make sure the command didn't take too long to run (which required three version changes, yay), then I had to make sure there was a way to add or remove any bonuses or penalties for shoes and jewelry, which took absolutely far too long. However, the good news is that the clothing system works, and should be working for every article of clothing, including the new stuff that I just added above.
- Fixed the beach.
- Breast pump is confirmed as working properly. Remember, just because your breasts are lactating doesn't mean there's enough milk in them to justify the use of the pump.

Thursday, December 15, 2011

Update 12/15

Woooo.

Major Updates
- It's possible to get a promotion in the hooker job. DO NOT TAKE IT, as the promotion is the only thing that's working. However, I can start working on the next job in the chain, Call Girl, so hopefully that'll be available soon. And yes, I know I need to finish the Hooker job.

Minor Updates
- The doctor will now comment on your transformations. He'll also mention a gene cleanser, which isn't in the game yet. It'll be expensive, but it will reduce all transformations (that haven't completed) to 0, and undo inhuman transformations.
- New event while working as a Hooker. You may meet another hooker. Your actions will affect your morality, and will have other consequences later.
- Behind-the-scenes: Recoded the Get Dressed and Strip Naked commands so that they are no longer dependent on me adding a bunch of conditionals. This is really boring, but will make adding new clothes significantly less annoying.
---> Just realized that I forgot to account for the Special Outfit with both commands. You'll have to wear and remove that manually until the next update.

Bug Fixes
- White cotton dress works now.
- Changed the Erotic Waitress job so that all the random events will happen properly now.
- Glasses will now add to your Nearsighted trait.
- Breast pump will now work as intended.
- Fertility treatment should be working.

Plans
- Next week, I'm going to work on pregnancy and birth.
- Week after that, I may be taking off for the holidays. My RL job schedule is actually kind of full that week anyway.

Tuesday, December 13, 2011

Update 12/13

It's an update! Yay!

Major Updates
- New lactation system. You will now produce milk based on how strongly your body is lactating. This production occurs each time period, which means that if you're producing a lot of milk, you may have to use the breast pump more than once a day. Also, there are special events if you happen to max out your "reservoir", so to speak. Note that if you get your milk production up to ridiculous levels, then you'll pretty much be milking every three time periods, or otherwise getting the special event every three time periods. This is intended.

Minor Updates
- New clothing: white cotton dress, purple belted dress, and floral print dress.
- New styles: Punk Girl, Lady-Like, Amazon (can stack with other styles), Shy Girl (can stack with other styles). Punk girls need unnatural hair color, lots of visible piercings, non-feminine hair and clothes, small breasts, relatively slim body. Lady-Like needs relatively long, natural color hair, dresses, and some other stuff I can't remember right now. Amazon needs to be naturally tall, strong, and confident. Shy Girl needs to be short, weak, and nervous.

Bug Fixes
- I tried changing some stuff for periods in an attempt to fix the period-pregnant bug.
- Business Woman style will now properly show you when you activate it (it was activating previously, but not actually letting you know).
- The testing feature allowing you to choose your landlord has been fixed (RAGS shuffled the conditional activation sequence and didn't tell me).
- Probably some other stuff, but I honestly don't remember.

24 Hour Stream

I hate you people a little...but not as much as I hate myself.

The 24 hour goal has been reached. Unfortunately, with the ridiculousness of the holidays and the fact that I'm in a vacation blackout period until the end of the year, it'll be some time in January...ish.

And, as always, if my health or sanity starts to degrade during the stream, I will stop the stream. I will, however, make up any time I miss should I stop the stream early.

Saturday, December 10, 2011

Update 12/10 (More Bug Fixes)

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Minor Update
- When you go to see the building manager the first time, you'll have the option of choosing which building manager you want. This is for testing purposes/extreme abuse only.

Bug Fixes
- Breast pump should be working.
- Date choices working, but don't expect them to actually do anything.

Friday, December 9, 2011

Update 12/9

Bug fixes only.

Also, because of the way the RAGS engine works, you will need to start a new game in order to play with the new content. When new variables and items are added, they don't carry over to from old saves; the game literally cannot see them when you use an old save. Hopefully this is something that will be fixed in 2.3.0 (whenever that comes out).

Bug Fixes
- Fixed the stripper clothes to work like the rest of the clothes.
- When Genevieve gives you her phone number, it activates the Call Someone action on the phone if it isn't active already.

Notes
- Breast pump is not broken: you have to start a new game.
- If the Date Choices are not showing up properly when you call Genevieve, you need to start a new game.
- I'm planning to have 6 unique characters for the player to choose from. It will likely be 3 female and 3 male, but I might make it 4 and 2 just for giggles.
- "Friends with Benefits" will be an option, but don't be surprised if some characters fall in love with you and expect you to reciprocate. Everyone has their own idea of what sex means, after all.

More Notes
- Date choices for Genevieve don't work. I started working on them about four hours before the 12 hour stream ended and didn't end up implementing any of them. I'll be working on doing so for the next few streams.
- I am aware that the "night" choices are borked. They're not implemented anyway.
- Breast pump doesn't reset at the end of the day. I'll fix this and upload a new version tonight.
- Dildo panties need to be fixed a bit.

Thursday, December 8, 2011

Update 12/8 GFY Edition

My god, I hate myself right now.

Major Updates
- Genevieve relationship started. It's honestly not nearly as fleshed out as I was hoping to get today, but when you have to build the whole system from the ground up, well, it sucks. Here's some details on how the relationship system will work.


  -> You'll have to talk to people first, get to know them. You'll have a variety of options to respond to their statements, and they'll have reactions to each statement. They will not repeat statements: if you run out of unique statements for that particular character, you'll get a generic "chat" message that will increase friendship, but at the bare minimum. Pay attention during these chats: they'll help you figure out what the character does and does not like.

  -> When you get to know someone, they will give you their phone number. You'll then be able to call them from your telephone at home and invite them to hang out. You'll have three randomly selected options, narrowed down based on time of day and, for the "day" period, weather and season. There are 7 daytime options, and 8 nighttime options. Most options will have variants, such as, if you decide to go shopping, you'll choose what kind of shopping to do (clothes, underwear, just browsing, etc). People have their own tastes: if they like the location you choose, you'll get a bonus to friendship. If they like the activity, you'll get a bonus as well. (I just got started implementing this today, and it took six hours to get it not even completely working.)

  -> Activities have a 30% chance of spawning a "chance card", shamelessly stolen from the Sims. You can opt out of chance cards, or select an option. The option you choose has a 50% chance of being good or bad. These options will not affect your relationship, but rather will affect you and your skills.

  -> Some activities and locations are labeled behind the scenes as "romantic". If you take someone with sufficient friendship levels to a romantic location, you'll have the opportunity to make a romantic overture. If you do, and are successful (skills and stats factor in), you'll enter into a romantic relationship with the person. If you decline, they will get the point and you'll be "just friends" for the remainder of the game. If you try and fail, it'll decrease friendship, but you can certainly try again later.

  -> After a certain point, you'll get the option to "commit" to a specific partner. This will confirm that you are in an exclusive relationship and possibly open up new options or endings for that character. Also, when you're in a committed relationship, if you continue to build your relationship, you may get the option to have your partner move into your apartment with you. This has benefits and drawbacks.

  -> Relationship NPCs will notice things about you. Are you a catgirl? Have you been having sex despite committing to them? Are you pregnant? Did you make them pregnant? Are you using magic to change them into a catgirl? They may or may not like these things based on their personalities.

  -> There's more to it as well, but that's it for now.


Minor Updates
- Clothing system tweak: putting on clothes when you're already wearing clothes will take off the clothes you're currently wearing and put on the new outfit. You don't need to strip naked first anymore, though you can still do so. Note that this only works for clothes, not accessories or underwear. Doing so now would take too much time, but I can work on that in the future, it's a relatively easy fix.

Bug Fixes
- Penis size adjustment now works (tested)
- Stockings no longer put knee high socks in your inventory when worn.
- Fixed a problem with the lactation accident happening even if you'd milked yourself that day.

12 Hour Stream Information

So, the long awaited day is almost upon us! The 12 hour stream starts at 9:30am EST tomorrow. I've spent the last few days coming up with 18 pages worth of stuff to work on, plus bug fixes, so it should be a productive day.

The plan is to work on relationships. Or rather, a relationship. Specifically Genevieve. Hopefully by the end of the stream, assuming I haven't completely lost my shit, you'll be able to have a deep and meaningful relationship with a French girl. If not, then you'll at least be able to get started with it, and if there's time left over, maybe I'll work on babies.

Consider yourself fairly warned: if I anticipate a danger to my sanity approaching, I will likely take a break of 30-60 minutes to play a game or something. It'll still be streamed, though.

Tuesday, December 6, 2011

Update 12/6

Short stream, but important groundwork laid.

Major Updates
- The doctor's office is much more fleshed out, particularly the OB/GYN option. He'll now comment on "use", pregnancy and some other stuff. One thing I want to do is have him comment on transformations during checkups. And I just realized that I forgot to have him comment on futa status beyond pointing it out (he'll comment on size, basically, in the future).

Minor Updates
- Groundwork laid for pregnancy and birth (see above, plus some other stuff). If I hadn't already said I would be working on relationships on Thursday, that's what I'd be working on.

Bug Fixes
- Penis size can now be changed. Forgot to activate the command at the end of the day.
- A lot of other bug fixes that I did over the weekend that I've completely forgotten about now.

Known Bugs
- There's a problem with knee-high socks that I completely forgot about.

12 hour stream is Thursday! I'll be starting at 9:30am EST, and going until at least 9:30pm EST. I'll probably take a few breaks for games, but I'll be streaming the whole time. If there are technical difficulties, I will make up the time on Friday. But hopefully there won't be technical difficulties.

Also, we're more than 3/4 of the way to the 24 hour stream! Excitement! Remember, that particular goal is the end of the year, with the 24 hour stream tentatively planned for the first two weeks of January, assuming we reach the goal. And I'll be donating at least $100 to Child's Play as well.

More Plans

I got an idea for another game (possibly non-adult) a couple of days ago, and now I want to finish Cursed so that I can work on it.

With that in mind, the only things I'm going to be working on are systems that are not completed implemented, the story, and requests. So no more running around adding weather. An objective analysis of the game tells me that I've pretty much got most of the extraneous stuff added already anyway, so it's not like I'm giving up.

I may do a stream late tonight. Not sure yet.

Also, a week of thinking about it has come and gone, and as a result, I'm removing the restriction on anal sex. My wife has a point. But I'm not going to write it. So if you think you've got what it takes to write those scenes, contact me (contact info on the right), and we'll see what happens.

Edit: There appears to have been some miscommunication here. I'm not stopping the development of Cursed any time soon. I fully intend to get the game to a 1.0, finished state. I'm just going to be more focused on doing that than adding new stuff for now. Request stuff is still viable, but right now, I want to spend some time actually finishing systems that are half-implemented, systems that are vital to the game, and basically getting the game to be more game-like. It will still take months to finish the game, which is what I intend to spend doing so. When I'm done, however, I'll be able to start working on my new game idea almost immediately.

Thursday, December 1, 2011

Update 12/1

Finished for now. I may be back later tonight if I can figure out what, if anything, I can implement in a couple of hours.

Major Updates
- New futa system. You still gain the futanari trait the same way, however, once you do, you will have the ability to change your penis size. This is a one-way progression (it can only get bigger, not smaller), and more or less cumulative, for now at least. Also, if you try to make it grow too fast, you may encounter a bad end (multiples = path to the bad end, takes a few days).

Minor Updates
- Special outfit now has 16 possible beneficial effects the first time you wear it. Usually skill bonuses of one or two points, but most also effect your femininity and occasionally your traits.
- Revealing underwear, restricting underwear and black one-piece corset have had their descriptions updated to make it clear that they have no purpose in the game...yet.

Bug Fixes
- The Strip Naked command will now take into account the nursing bra and the special outfit.
- Going to the beach should now strip off your clothes properly (i.e. no more "always on" swimsuits).
- There was an entire branch of the special outfit (the most feminine options) that wasn't firing correctly. Fixed.
- There was a report that the umbrella and raincoat didn't have toggles. Tested it, but they worked just fine. Not sure what the problem was (possibly an imported save game?).

Tuesday, November 29, 2011

Update 11/29

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHH! Six hours to implement ONE FUCKING THING.

Major Updates
- Remember that special outfit you can get as a reward for finishing the first mission? It's available now. Changes every day based on morality (color), femininity (type of outfit), and inhibitions (conservative vs. provocative). It has a unique description for each of the 16 variations, and each of the types of underwear you can wear. For math geeks that don't like to do math, that's 144 descriptions. To say that this took forever does not convey the mind-numbing drudgery. And the worst part is, most people will take magic and never see it.

I hate you people.

And the special outfit still isn't done. Each of the sixteen variations will have unique, once-per-day effects. I'll probably leave that until next week, though, lest I kill myself.

Minor Updates
- The umbrella and raincoat are now toggles, as in, you can toggle their use on and off. Simple reason for that: going out unprotected in the rain may lower your health, but it does raise your non-natural charisma. I didn't want to lock people out of that option.

Bug Fixes
- I didn't get a chance to look at bug fixes this time around. I know there's some problems currently (some serious, some minor). I'll take care of those on Thursday.

Sunday, November 27, 2011

Goddammit.

Going to try to do a stream tonight. Not sure when it'll start, but I'm aiming for about 10pm EST, see if I can go for a couple of hours.

Stream is up.

I was working on implementing the Special Outfit again, after RAGS crashed and ate all the work last Tuesday. Then, after an hour and a half, during a routine "open array" operation...it crashed again. And I wasn't judiciously saving.

I hate my life sometimes.

Also, on the weirdness news report, my wife of all people says that I should seriously consider putting anal into the game. It's moments like this that give me pause, and make me examine my life and realize how weird it is sometimes...

Friday, November 25, 2011

Update 11/25 And Donations

Look, an update!

Major Updates
- Britney's first interaction has been added to the second mission (note: the second mission has TWO possibilities, depending on whether or not you managed to successfully seduce the blonde girl in the intro. If you skip the intro, you DO NOT get credit for seducing her) Currently, I'm working on the "blonde girl" leg of the second mission, so if you don't meet the conditions (if you get the mission to kidnap someone), then you won't meet Britney.
  Also of note: Britney is currently planned to be "relationship lite", so when she's done, you'll be able to see some of the features that will be in the relationship system (not yet though).

Minor Updates
- Shuffled some stuff around behind the scenes to streamline a couple of things.

Bug Fixes
- Styles now properly apply when you leave the house without shoes on: the game will put the shoes on first, and then check for style requirements.

Donations have been slacking off a little lately, which I imagine is due to the fact that my schedule was all boned for the last three weeks, but hey, I understand. In an attempt to get donations going again, let's have a random donation encouragement day, shamelessly stolen from Fenoxo.

  • Every $10 or $15 entitles you to one hour of Anonymous Man working on a ‘thing’ of your choice.

  • If you’re donating towards something I’ve already started on or wanted to do, it’s $10/hr.

  • If you’re donating towards something relatively brand-new it’s $15/hr.

  • The ‘thing’ your donating towards cannot be uber-specific, and I have the right to reject (with a refund) or adjust any specifics to fit within the game world.

  • Max 8 hours of work per person.


  • Note that, because of the way I work, the amount of time I'll be working on something is kind of nebulous, but the donation amount will be for the MINIMUM amount of work I'll be putting into it. For something simple (new hairstyle, new style, new clothes, etc), an hour is usually more than enough. Something complicated (new location, new person), it'll take quite a bit longer.

    Not sure how much you should be donating towards something? Contact me, either via email, on the stream, or via Skype. Contact details on the right-hand side.

    Tuesday, November 22, 2011

    Update 11/22

    There was some additional stuff done, but then RAGS crashed, and I lost an hour of work.

    Major Updates
    - Nothing. Sucks.

    Minor Updates
    - Random events now have a "lock out" period, so that you shouldn't encounter the same event twice in a row. In theory; now that I think about it, I think I coded in the priority incorrectly, so I might have to adjust that tomorrow.

    Bug Fixes
    - ES clitoral ring is fixed.
    - I double-checked and tested the styles, and they are working, so no bug there.

    Monday, November 21, 2011

    Plans

    There's no denying that this schedule change has completely thrown me off. I was used to working on Cursed everyday, little by little, and last week, that's not at all what happened. I'm still trying to get this all figured out, and I hope you can bear with me while I do so.

    I think what I'm going to do, or try to do anyway, is work on bug fixes and such on the days that I work (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays), and work on adding new stuff on the days that I'm off (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Also, possibly, I might have some "surprise" streams on Saturday nights, but don't hold me to that. I know it's frustrating to not have as many updates as usual, but look at it this way: at least you don't have to start over with a new version as much.

    This week, though, is kind of screwed up, due to Thanksgiving. I'll still be streaming on Tuesday, but there won't be anything happening on Thursday. However, I'm off Friday, so I'll be doing a stream then.

    Saturday, November 19, 2011

    Stream Done

    Just waiting for my schedule to clear up, and then I'll stream for a while. Don't know how long, but I'm sure I can get some stuff done.


    Stream up. Bug fixes, some additional work.


    Turns out the bugs reported...weren't necessarily bugs. Nothing really done tonight, I got distracted by a triple-tag-team of Fenoxo, Luckster and PZero. I'll try and do some more work tomorrow.

    Note: No new version. I laid some groundwork, but nothing worth actually uploading.

    Thursday, November 17, 2011

    Update 11/17

    I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure WHAT I've done today. Here's the stuff I do remember, though.

    Major Updates
    - On day 104, Maria will return with another mission. You will get to hear about it, but it's currently not possible to actually do it (that'll come later, these missions take time). VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: There are two possible missions she can give you, depending on your actions in the introduction phase.
    - The Maria encounter will also reveal some new information about her, but you need to be paying attention...

    Minor Updates
    - Added a couple of new styles: Whore and Business Woman. Should be pretty easy to figure out what they are.

    Bug Fixes
    - Fixed the ES rings and the contacts so they can be worn properly.
    - Added in checks for all jewelry, so that you can't wear the same type at the same time.
    - Maria now properly objects if you try to name yourself Maria during the intro.
    - The hair styling box will not show up until you're a woman.

    Tuesday, November 15, 2011

    Update 11/15

    Hooray!

    Major Updates
    - Kind of a bug fix, but it's major enough to me: clothing system changed so that I don't have to rely on layered wear, which seems to be broken. So you can no longer wear all of your clothes at once.
    - New trait: Nearsighted. Results from wearing glasses and contacts too much. Currently doesn't deliver on the promised penalties, but that's because I forgot that I haven't figured out how to implement that yet. Shouldn't be difficult, just have to parse it.
    - New trait: Nylon Fetish. Gives you a bonus if you're wearing nylons or sheer nylons (not implemented) and increases your arousal outside your apartment if you're not wearing them (implemented).

    Minor Updates
    - The Nudist, Nearsighted, and Nylon Fetish all show up on the Sex Traits and Normal Traits sections of the status.
    - Added in the socks, stockings and nylons.
    - New items: glasses, and colored contacts.
    - You can now change your eye color (currently an instantaneous change, will eventually happen overnight).

    Bug Fixes
    - As mentioned above, you should no longer be able to wear multiple similar clothing items at the same time. This goes for everything except jewelry (it was too mind numbing to continue).
    - Sandals, strappy sandals, strappy heels are now properly checked when you use the Strip Naked command.
    - The nursing bra is now properly affected by the Strip Naked command.
    - Disabled the "Wear" command on certain items until you buy them.

    Known Bugs
    - Lactation "accidents" still seem to happen, even if you're wearing the nursing bra.
    - You can wear all your jewelry at once.

    And in case you are wondering, yes, I have heard your pleas. Thursday's stream will be, after bug fixes, dedicated to either advancing the story, or one of the jobs.

    Saturday, November 12, 2011

    Good news and bad news

    Well, the good news is this: my work schedule has been adjusted so that I work fewer days of the week, but actually get more hours, so money is going to be less of an issue.

    The bad news is that, starting next week, I'm working during the day. Which might create some problems with the, er, continuity of daily streaming.

    I'm currently trying to figure out if I want to stream at night or what. The good part of the bad news is that I have Tuesdays and Thursdays off, which means I'll be able to stream on those days without trouble, and I'll probably turn Tuesday into a long stream day. I'll let you know more details as they develop, but for now, my next stream is scheduled for Tuesday, not Monday.

    Just a heads up. I am still going to be working on the game, so don't worry about that.

    Friday, November 11, 2011

    Update 11/11

    Happy Veteran's Day to those in the United States, and Happy Remembrance Day to those in Canada (and other British Commonwealth countries). Though I don't think you're really supposed to wish people a happy day...

    Major Updates
    - New footwear: sandals. Three different kinds. The strappy versions will increase your charisma even if you're not very skilled with the type of heel (they are analogous to the short and tall heels for skill requirements). However, make sure you read the rest of the notes: they're not always a good idea.
    - New clothing: socks and stockings. Nylons and Sheer nylons increase non-natural charisma just by wearing them, while knee high socks, stockings and fishnet stockings require you to find the right footwear to get the bonus.

    Minor Updates
    - Cold and Warm days have an effect now. If you wear the cashmere overcoat on a Warm day, your arousal will go up slightly, as you get too hot. On cold days, if you're not wearing the cashmere overcoat, you will suffer a slight penalty to health. If you're wearing sandals or skimpy clothes, the health penalty will be worse (maxes out at 4 points, so it's still not a huge worry).

    Bug Fixes
    - None, really. There weren't any reported that I could fix.

    And Request Week is done! I didn't get all of the requests I had planned out added, but they should be added within the next few days of work.

    I'll be streaming Skyrim before I go to work today, but I have some other stuff to do first. I'll let you know when that's up.

    Skyrim!

    Decided to follow Fenoxo's example and stream Skyrim for a while. Feel free to watch.

    That was actually a lot of fun. It's like playing with an audience. An audience that gets to laugh at me when I get bitch-slapped by trolls. I might do it again, possibly with different games (nice to know that a) my new computer rig can handle it, and b) I can get it working...eventually).

    Don't worry, though, back to Cursed work tomorrow.

    Long Stream Time!

    Well, things were going pretty well, until Livestream decided to quite literally crap out on me. I've opened a support ticket as quite literally nothing is making the stream work. Extremely annoying.

    However, I will do a longer than usual stream tomorrow to make up for it. If LS comes back up at some point, I'll try to get back into things.

    Bug Fixes
    - The Lactation Accident event will now fire as intended.
    - Tampons will now be properly used if needed and as long as you have some.
    - Nursing bra is now properly affected by the Strip Naked and Get Dressed commands, which means you shouldn't have any problems at the beach with it either.
    - Typos.

    Known and Unsolvable Errors
    - Clothing appears to have been glitched to hell by the update to 2.2.14.0. I've submitted a bug report so that it's hopefully corrected in the next engine update, but until it's fixed, you'll need to remove clothing and such to prevent wearing two similar outfits at the same time. I know this is less than ideal, but this is something I really can't fix. Sorry.

    Other News: The 12 hour stream goal has been reached! We're now working towards the 24 hour goal, and I'll let you know when the 12 hour stream happens. If I can get a day off in the next month or so, I'll do it pretty soon.

    Problems Noted

    There's been more than a few reports of clothing not working properly. I'll take a look at it first thing tomorrow. In the meantime, please make sure you're using RAGS version 2.2.14, and that you're not importing a save. There may be incompatibility issues between 2.2.10/11 and 2.2.14, and I can't fix those. If that doesn't resolve the problem, please leave a comment to let me know.

    Also, to anyone that has emailed me in the last...three weeks or so, I apologize for not replying. I will answer my email tomorrow morning as well.

    Update 11/9

    Note: RAGS engine updated to 2.2.14.0. Still available at the link on the right.


    Very short stream today. Feel awful. Gonna go play games until I feel better, pass out, or have to go to work.

    Major Updates
    - Nursing bra now available at the maternity store. You must be lactating in some degree to buy it. Wearing it will increase lactation (2 points per time period).
    - New event: Lactation Accident. If you are strongly lactating (lactation > 60), and have not milked, you will see this event occur any time you have a chance to see a random travel event. Two variations, one for wearing the nursing bra, and one for not.

    No other updates.

    Tuesday, November 8, 2011

    Whoops.

    Forgot to mention, the game engine has been updated to 2.2.11.0. You can still find it at the link in the Games sidebar.

    Update 11/8

    Somewhat short stream today. There wasn't anything else I could add in the 25 minutes I had left after finishing the recliner.

    Major Updates
    - New skill books are available for purchase at the book store. These books cost $35, and can raise a skill by a maximum of 20 points. Each 2 point increase takes one time block. If you skill is greater than 75, the books are not at all helpful.
    - New item: Recliner. Once purchased, you can use the nap command, which will reduce your arousal due to relaxation, unless your arousal is over 65%, in which case you'll have a sexy dream and wake up more aroused than before.

    Minor Updates
    - Professional hair styles (given by Genevieve) will now "fall out" if you haven't purchased the item for that particular hair style, removing any bonuses. Example: if you get a professional pony tail, but don't own the hair elastic, at the end of the day, you will lose the 5 point bonus to non-natural charisma, and your hair style will revert to loose.
    - New action on the computer: Browse for Porn. Currently has two variations (based on whether or not you have Porn Addict), but will eventually, when I have the time, have variations for each of the sex traits you can develop.

    Bug Fixes
    - ES clitoral ring does something now.
    - Professional hair styling will now properly add to your non-natural charisma, so no more penalties, just reductions in the bonus.

    Monday, November 7, 2011

    Update 11/7

    Request week* is just getting started!

    Major Updates
    - Two new pieces of jewelry at the jewelry store: ES nipple rings and ES clitoral ring.

    Minor Updates
    - The "Sit on Lap" event now has four possible variations, depending on whether you are heterosexual (or bi), or lesbian, and whether your arousal is greater than 50% or not.

    Bug Fixes
    - Rain should no longer remain constant once it starts.
    - Modified inhuman pregnancies so that they shouldn't lock you into a menstrual cycle phase.
    - Some typos.

    Reported Bugs
    - There's some reports of non-natural charisma doing some funky things. I checked a few of them out (fight club, piercings), but I can't see why they would be acting weird. Same idea as before with weird bugs: if you can reliably reproduce it, let me know what the steps are, otherwise, send me a "before" and "after" save game.

    * Request Week is the week where I fulfill a bunch of requests on my backlog, not the week where you request something. The management apologizes for any confusion.

    What's on tap?

    Tomorrow's stream may start late. I have an early dentist appointment. It shouldn't be too late, but it could be, so fairly warned be ye.

    As for the other thing, I spent some time going over the Requested Features list and figuring out how to implement some of the stuff I've been putting off. Here's what I've got planned for the rest of the week.

    - Nylon Fetish (plus nylons and socks)
    - More information and customization of Futanari
    - Multiple types of strength (muscle building versus muscle toning)
    - Athletic trait
    - Food court options
    - More variation for "Sit on Lap" as erotic waitress.
    - More eyewear (dovetails into customizable eye color)
    - Vibrating nipple and clitoral rings
    - More items for skill training
    - Browse porn option for computer
    - Recliner furniture item
    - Nursing bra
    - Nun outfit (this one ended up being a little more complicated than expected, because it needs to DO something, so I had to come up with something it could do)
    - Sandals (multiple kinds)

    And, of course, bug fixes.

    How much of this stuff will get implemented this week is up in the air, but I'll be doing my best.

    Emergency 11/5 Build

    I forgot to activate a few things, notably the new weather clothing and the doctor's office. New version uploaded to take care of that.

    Also, please tell me how the weather system is working. You should not, for example, get rain or snow more than 3 days in a row. Raining for two days, then one day of sun, then two more days of rain is acceptable, but raining for 4 days is not. The way the system is set up, if it rained the day before, there's a greater chance of rain (and a slim chance of thunderstorm) the following day, followed by a severe decrease in the chance of rain the third day, and no chance of rain the fourth day. Same thing with snow and blizzards.

    Only $100 away from the 12 hour challenge! SO EXCITING!

    Friday, November 4, 2011

    Update 11/4

    Yays.

    Major Updates
    - Beginnings of the weather system. There's 4 possibly weather statuses, sunny, cloudy, rainy, and snowing, with variations for rain (thunderstorm) and snow (blizzard). There's various bonuses and penalties for going out with the right items in the right weather, but these items will NOT supercede any of your other choices (yet). The raincoat, for example, will currently be worn even if you're wearing the cashmere overcoat, eventually, you'll need to choose one or the other. Eventually, the items will toggle, so that you can choose to take them or not.
      There's also a second set of weather "variations", which are windy, warm, average and cold. These currently have no effect, so those'll be next update.

    Minor Updates
    - New items for the weather system. For the most part, just having the item is enough for now. Eventually, it will be on a toggle, so that you can choose if you want to automatically wear something when going out. Note that you're going to want both the cashmere overcoat AND the snow boots for snow.

    Bug Fixes
    - Fixed the food system, so now you can eat. Hooray.
    - Had the check for the doctor's office reversed. You can go there again.
    - Order of execution on vitamins was wrong, making it think you were always taking one more vitamin than you actually were. Fixed. Also forgot to reset the check at the end of the day, fixed that too.

    Pretty productive week, I think. As always, weekends are usually the best time for extended playtimes, so if you encounter any bugs or whatnot, leave a comment or send me an email.

    In other news, donations have slacked off a little bit, only two in the last week, three in the last two weeks. I understand no one really donating last week (out of sight, out of mind), but I figured I'd bring it up anyway. Only $130 away from the twelve hour stream, and then we can start working on the 24 hour stream. You know you want to see me lose my mind over the course of a long day, plus, think of all the stuff I can get done in 12/24 hours! Things like the relationship system!

    Thursday, November 3, 2011

    Update 11/3

    Stream over!

    Major Updates
    - Health system implemented. Generally speaking, things that are dangerous or unhealthy (like not eating, not eating enough, getting into a fight, etc) will make you unhealthy, and things that are healthy or good for you (exercise, eating right, etc) will make you healthy. The system will naturally gravitate towards healthy over time, but you can push it to extremes of unhealthyness and healthyness relatively easy. You get bonuses for being very healthy, and penalties for being unhealthy. (Hint: if you want to be a slut and screw everything with two legs, invest in vitamins)
    - New location: doctor's office. Only partially implemented right now, but the check-up will improve your health.

    Minor Updates
    - Actually from yesterday: the Style Magazine will give you hints on styles when read. The hint you get is randomly determined, so you may get the same one as before.
    - New items: vitamin C and multivitamins, for bonus health.

    Bug Fixes
    - Fixed the weirdness with hair styles. Probably.

    Plans for Tomorrow
    - Skill books!
    - A weather system!

    Wednesday, November 2, 2011

    Update 11/2

    So maybe it's a good thing that I didn't post the link to the update yesterday, since I was able to complete the hairstyle system today.

    Major Updates
    - Hairstyle system implemented. There's two versions: Professional and Amateur. Professional hairstyles (given by Genevieve) increase your Non-Natural Charisma by 5, decreasing by 1 point each day until it reaches zero. The Amateur version (when you make your hair up yourself) gives you a 2 point bonus to Non-Natural Charisma that lasts for 2 days, at which point it goes to zero. So the Amateur version is more consistent, but lasts less, and the Professional version is more effective and long-lasting, but less consistent and costs money. Choose wisely.

    Minor Updates
    - None, really. There WILL be two other systems for hairstyle implemented later, one where Genevieve gives you a random hairstyle and color for less money (you save money, but can't control what your hairstyle and color become), and one where, if you don't have the proper item to maintain a professional hairstyle, it will degrade after only one day.

    Bug Fixes
    - The black dildo pregnancy will now properly reset your period, so that if you are menstruating before it makes you pregnant, you'll be able to wear underwear during the pregnancy.

    Known Issues
    - There's a reported issue with the dildo panties that I completely forgot to check today. Sorry, will check tomorrow.
    - Reported issue with sweatsuit still getting stuck in the locker at the Strip Club. Didn't check, sorry.

    Tuesday, November 1, 2011

    Update 11/1

    I started early, I ended early.

    I'm looking into uploading a web version of the game. I'm just not sure how to do it yet.

    Major Updates
    - Hairstyles! Get your hair styled by Genevieve, rather than just getting it cut. Eventually (either tomorrow or Thursday) hair styles will grant temporary bonuses to Non-Natural Charisma, and there will be items so that you can style your hair yourself (for less bonus, but slightly longer effect).
    - New trait: Nudist. An upgrade of the Exhibitionist trait, which will increase your arousal when you switch time blocks based on how many different articles of clothing (underwear, clothes, and accessories) you're wearing. Sweatsuit and robe do not count as clothes.

    Minor Updates
    - None.

    Bug Fixes
    - None?

    Requested Features and Clarifications

    I've updated the requested features page. New requests are underlined. Note that, while I still have requests outstanding from the last update, that doesn't mean they're not getting in the game. I generally wait until I'm working on the point at which they would be added to work on them.

    As for clarifications, the new Style system is not for hair. That'll be tomorrow. The style system is basically a bonus system if you manage to get your looks to match a particular style. The current styles available are Tomboy, Party Girl, Femme Fatale, Goth and Bimbo, and I'll be adding more as I think of them (or they're suggested). But you need to meet the "tolerances". For example, goths wear black; if you're not wearing black, you're not going to get the Goth style. But there are other requirements as well. I'll put in the hint system before too long.

    Update 10/31

    And we're back on track. Took longer than I wanted, but I started late, so whatcha gonna do.

    Also, Happy Halloween. I dressed up as a stressed journalist named Dick Justice.

    Major Updates
    - Style system implemented. There are currently five possible styles available, and getting them provides bonuses to Natural Charisma (once), Non-Natural Charisma (always), and sometimes a skill or trait (once). Hopefully, I'll be able to come up with more eventually.

    Minor Updates
    - Slob trait will now, as long as you're not going to be dirty, reduce by 1 point every day (i.e. if you've done something that requires showering, but don't shower, you will not lower your Slob trait). Unless you have the Slob trait, which is permanent once unlocked. Oh, and because of this change, Slob is now much easier to unlock (15 points instead of 40).

    Bug Fixes
    - If Maria is around, you will not have morning sickness, if pregnant.
    - All the problems caused by the sweatsuit and sports bra being "exercise" clothing have probably been fixed.  This includes the problem of returning from the beach and not putting them back on, going to the strip club to work and not being able to put them back on, and a couple of others.
    - Jogging should now properly remove your shoes. It doesn't put the sneakers on, but it will take off any footwear before throwing you into the shower. Unless you're a slob, but you already knew that.
    - Werewolf transformation will work after getting your Wolf Instincts above 50.
    - Having the female client suddenly become a male client during the Stripper job has been fixed.
    - The "Tall Woman" random event will no longer reset your height change counter if you're already getting taller or shorter from something else.

    Reported Issues
    - Someone reported that using the "Get Dressed" command sometimes doesn't allow you to put clothes on, even though putting them on manually is successful. If this is for a specific article of clothing I need to know which one. If it's for all of them, please let me know. If it only happens when you Import/Export or port over a save, this is not a bug with the game, but with the engine, which I cannot fix.
    - Someone reported a long-lasting period. Please let me know exactly what the problem is so that I can fix it.

    New computer!

    Yup, it's up, and it's working.

    Now to hook up my other hard drives and get everything back to normal...ish.

    Friday, October 28, 2011

    New computer! But not...

    So I got my computer parts today, put them together, and the system turns on, which is always a nice thing.

    Just one problem: the new motherboard I got doesn't have a Parallel ATA connector, which isn't that big a deal. My old C: drive is PATA instead of SATA, but I can deal with that by getting a PCI card that adds a PATA port, and install the operating system on my fresh, new 160GB SATA drive.

    Just one problem.

    My DVD drive is a PATA drive. Which means the system, in BIOS, can't detect the drive, which means I can't install the operating system.

    Sigh. Nothing can ever be easy, can it?

    It's too late tonight to keep messing with it, but I've already come up with a workaround (mostly involving another computer), so, unless something completely ridiculous happens, which is still a possibility, I should be back to streaming on Monday, and it's about damn time (I'm losing my MIND!).

    Wednesday, October 26, 2011

    Delays! Yay!

    Neweg is being a bunch of fuckers. Apparently, the fact that I'm shipping the parts to an address OTHER than my billing address means three DAYS of delay between them taking my money, and them sending my parts.

    Don't know if I'm going to be able to get my computer back up and running by tomorrow. If they ship the parts today, then yes, and I've been told that they SHOULD be shipped today, but it's not a guarantee. So my computer may be out of commission all week, for fuck's sake.

    And all because I don't want $350 shipped to an apartment building. Gee, I can't imagine why I wouldn't want all that expensive computer stuff sitting outside my door for several hours while I'm at work. Can't imagine at all.

    So, I apologize, it looks like this is going to take longer than I thought.

    Monday, October 24, 2011

    Impromptu Vacation

    Well, I've ordered the parts, and had them shipped via next day delivery. So they could conceivably be here tomorrow, though I doubt it, but they will likely be here in time for Long Stream Thursday. Everything should be back to normal by then, fingers crossed.

    I guess we'll see what happens.

    In the meantime, I'm going to consider this a bit of a vacation. I realized earlier today that I've been working pretty much non-stop since June. Which means that, however unwanted this particular break is, I should probably take advantage of it while I can.

    I've gotten some interesting requests with donations in the last few days, so it should be interesting to see what I come up with when I get back. I'll work on updating the requests page tomorrow or Wednesday.

    Sunday, October 23, 2011

    What the fuck.

    My computer was working just fine last night, I played Fallout New Vegas until about 1 in the morning, noticed it took an inordinate amount of time to turn off, but didn't think anything of it.


    Now it won't turn on at all. Not even getting to POST. Monitor won't detect a signal and I have to turn off the power bar if I want to shut down the computer.


    Goddamn it.


    This challenge donation drive may turn into a "help Anonymous Man build a new computer" drive...I'll let you know.

    The problem is that the motherboard died. The power supply is fine, the hard drives are fine, and the graphics card is fine. Unfortunately that means I need to get a new mobo, cpu and memory.

    So, if you could find it in your heart to help me out with that, I would really appreciate it right now. I have the money to get the replacement parts regardless of what happens, but it is an expense I wasn't really expecting.

    The good news is that when I get the parts and set up my computer (hopefully with Windows 7 as well), future streams will be much less taxing on the new CPU, since I'm looking at a Core i3 or i5.

    In any event, I probably won't be streaming tomorrow, and maybe not for a couple of days, but I will be working (on paper) on other stuff in the meantime.

    <b>Worth Noting:</b>  Any donations will still go towards the 12/24 hour challenge (I updated the goal counter on the right to reflect the two separate goals), and the stand donation rules regarding Cursed still apply: if you donate, you are entitled to request an addition to the game.

    Friday, October 21, 2011

    Update 10/21

    Yeah, okay, it's over. That's another week in the can.

    No major updates today.


    Minor Updates
    - New command on the closet: Get Dressed for Exercise. Using this command will automatically strip you naked and put on the sports bra (if available) and the sweatsuit. It will not change your last worn clothes, so you can still use Get Dressed to put your standard clothes on.

    Bug Fixes
    - Period bug fixed. Finally. Underwear will not be double-worn, and you can wear underwear during your period if you have tampons available. About damn time too.
    - The spiked collar and regular collar will go into the middle drawer when removed.
    - When removing clothes and underwear in the bathroom, they will be properly removed from your inventory and put it the proper container items.
    - Wearing just the sports bra will allow you to use the home exercise equipment without any kind of penalty.
    - Fixed a bug with random travel events when Induce Luck was active.


    Clarifications
    - I'm not going to add a toggle to shower after exercising, meaning it will still be up to the player to do that themselves. Reason: if you toggle it on, you'll always shower after exercising, which a) requires more clicks if you were planning to do some additional exercise, and b) can all but prevent you from getting the Slob trait. Contrary to popular belief, the Slob trait is specifically a penalty, not actually something that you'll want to get, for failing to take care of your looks.

    Thursday, October 20, 2011

    Update 10/20 + The Challenge

    Done for the day. I like these long days. I get a lot done.

    So here's the details on the challenge. You'll notice that the donation button has been changed to a new goal of $500. If I manage to reach that goal before the end of the year (as it represents the remainder of the donations for the year anyway), then I will reward the intarwebs with a 12 hour stream of coding, date to be determined.

    Now here's where it starts to get crazy.

    If I managed to reach double the goal, $1000, before the end of the year, I will reward the intarwebs with a 12 hour stream, and a twenty-four hour continuous stream (date to be determined). That is, I will start at 8 or 9 in the morning, and go until 8 or 9 the following morning. I can't guarantee it'll all be coding, but I will stream the whole time, non-stop (the stream will continue while I eat and such).

    In addition, normal donation incentives remain in place. So if you donate, you get to request something to be added to the game.

    And finally, if I reach the $1000 goal, I'll donate 1/5 or 1/4 (depending on personal financial situation) to charity, most likely Penny Arcade's Child's Play.

    So it's a crazy fucking idea, but with your help, I'll record myself going slowly crazy in a livestream.

    Note: For anyone that's hesitant to donate because they are worried about my health, I would like to be clear that I am volunteering for this, and if it gets to the point during the stream that I or the viewers get worried about my well-being, I will take necessary precautions. So don't worry about me.

    Additional Note: I'm trying to get Fenoxo to do this with me, because I think it would be funny as hell, plus more money for charity. If I can get in contact with Xadera and Nuku Valente, I'll try to convince them too. If you know someone working on a game that may be interested, point them my way and we'll see what they say. Imagine four, six or ten game developers all working for 12 to 24 hours straight on the games you love, while going nuts. How funny would that be?

    Major Updates
    - Hooker job (male clients) complete, and some female client stuff implemented.

    Minor Updates
    - Set Arousal to 50% is available on the testing item again.
    - After working out at home only (so the yoga mat, weight kit, and treadmill) you will not automatically shower. Any activity that takes you out of the apartment (jogging, gym, dojo), as long as you don't have the slob trait, you will automatically shower.
    - Treadmill, Yoga, Weight Kit, Gym and Dojo now have requirements for appropriate clothing and underwear. Specifically, if your breasts are too big (size requirement dependent on activity), then you will not get the full benefit of the workout and likely have to deal with an arousal increase. Sports bras, people. They are your friend. Some activities simply cannot be performed if your breasts are ridiculously big.
    - More breast sizes implemented. Now, grow your breasts all the way up to K!
    - Weight and Fitness are now intrinsically linked: if you are too fat, your maximum fitness is limited. This won't be a big deal to most people, as becoming fit lowers your weight anyway.

    Bug Fixes
    - Fixed underwear, so it should be properly wearable when you're not having your period.
    - Adjusted inhuman pregnancy to reset your period when you give birth to whatever it is you're carrying.
    - All jewelry now goes into the jewelry holding object properly.
    - The bulletin board now shows the proper requirements for job promotion (forgot to adjust them when I decoupled fitness and weight).
    - No need to worry about shoes when jogging: because it's not traveling to a new location, the game will no longer bother with checking your footwear. Which will also fix the problem of the game sending you to the bathroom wearing shoes.
    - The error that was causing problems with the Hooker blowjob has been fixed.

    Wednesday, October 19, 2011

    Update 10/19

    Yeah, it was short, but I just wasn't feeling it.

    Major Updates
    - Import/Export re-added. Please note that I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to that feature, so it may work, it may work poorly, or it may not work at all. Use at your own risk (doesn't break anything during a playthrough, though).

    Minor Updates
    - The "Set For Next Promotion" action on the testing item works now. Somehow all the commands got deleted...

    Tomorrow will be the "all day" stream. Which isn't really all day, but much longer than my normal streams.

    Tuesday, October 18, 2011

    Update 10/18

    That did not go how I planned, but at least I got a lot of the important/annoying stuff out of the way.

    Edit: Forgot to activate the new testing item command. Re-uploaded the game at 3pm EST. No version # update.

    Major Updates
    - The tailor now has three options. These options are always available: you don't have to wait until you get the "clothes don't/barely fit" message anymore.
       - Get Current Clothes Tailored: tailors only the clothes you are currently wearing. Costs $10.
       - Get Clothing Group Tailored: tailors all clothes within a specific clothing group (slutty, professional, etc.). Costs $40
       - Get All Clothes Tailored: tailors all your clothes. Costs $100

    Minor Updates
    - The fight club event is now slightly more likely, and you will only encounter it once.
    - The hair color change event is now slightly less likely.
    - New testing function: Set For Next Promotion. Only works on the Eroticism career currently.

    Bug Fixes
    - The period bug has been fixed! Here's what happened and why not everyone was reporting it: after you talk to Maria on day 17, there's a switch that activates so that periods happen normally. Which is exactly as intended, except when you asked Maria a specific question ("is my "equipment" fully functional" to be precise), the timer for the period check would active and run every turn. So, naturally, that would just screw everything up. However, I was, with the help of some submitted save games, able to pinpoint the cause and finally, finally fix it. REJOICE!
    - Found the problem with the stripper job. Skipping the "intro" day (the first Monday) would prevent the game from setting certain flags. Fixed (though if you miss the intro day now, your job performance will take a hit).
    - Werewolf transformation is now working as intended. No cool explanation here, just a stupid programming thing.

    Plans for Tomorrow

    I just figured I'd put this here rather than worrying about remembering it tomorrow.

    To Do
    - Add a feature to the testing item that sets player stats at the minimum required for the next job promotion. Note: this will cause problems with clothes not fitting, but you know what? Fuck it.
    - Change the tailor interaction to include the following: Tailor Current Clothes, Tailor Clothing Group, Tailor All Clothes.
    - Look into whether a one-time use timer can be run on the start of loading a save game to make sure that certain things have occurred as intended (computer programs that have been bought are loaded on the computer).
    - Buy Planescape Torment and Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura from GOG.com because someone specifically donated and requested that I do so.

    Update 10/17

    It's an update that, once again, is labeled incorrectly (10/15 instead of 10/17). But oh well. Lots of bug fixes and tweaks.

    Major Updates
    - More hooker options!

    Minor Updates
    - Wolf Howls event will now be different if you are infected and if you are a werewolf yourself.
    - Tweaked Fat loss from exercise (it's now slower).
    - You can no longer buy the "special" tea from the drug dealer until after you speak to Maria on Day 17 (the special tea increases fertility, which means you can become pregnant before your "plumping" is turned on, so to speak).

    Bug Fixes
    - Purple hair dye will now turn your hair purple instead of platinum.
    - Removed the possibility of seeing a random encounter on the way to the beach (there's no reason it should prevent you from automatically putting your swimsuit on, but it does for some reason...).
    - Getting hit by the big wave while swimming in a one-piece suit now properly advances time.
    - Jogging will now have you take a shower (only if you DON'T have the slob trait), and will advance time properly.
    - Saving the submissive girl at the bar and not taking advantage of her will no longer show a partial sex scene. On a related note, fixed her sex scene.
    - The blowjob option for the hooker job was deadended at a certain point because I forgot to include a scene. Guess what! I included that scene now!
    - Beach girls interaction now properly checks to see if it's too late after you're done interacting with them, and sends you home if appropriate. In addition, they will only stick around for one time block, so if you don't interact with them and do something else instead, they'll move on.

    Known Bugs
    - People are still reporting crazy periods. I need to know exactly what you are doing that causes them. Feel free to leave a comment or send me an email. If you have two save games, one from before you noticed the problems, and one from after, that would be fantastic for me to try and isolate the cause.
    - Still getting reports of problems with the stripper job. As above, please send me an email with a copy of your save game so I can see what's going on.

    Friday, October 14, 2011

    Update 10/14

    Writing sex scenes gets repetitive, man...

    Major Updates
    - More interactions in the Hooker job (sex! group sex!).

    Minor Updates
    - When doing any home exercise action that makes you sweat, as long as you don't have the slob trait, you will automatically move the bathroom and shower.
    - Going jogging will no longer change your Last Footwear to sneakers.

    Bug Fixes
    - Waitress job should be working again (I tweaked it without testing to see if it was broken, but it worked for me, so...)
    - Swimsuits are now properly removed when you come home from the beach.
    - Suntan lotion is properly considered when you're tanning.
    - Jogging using up time as intended.

    If, while you're playing as a hooker, you're not satisfied with the sex scenes that I skipped (can only write so many!), then do the following:
    1) Write a replacement sex scene.
    2) Write an email to anonymousmangames AT gmail DOT com
    3) Paste that sex scene in there.
    4) Get angry/happy when I reject/accept it and put it in the game.

    Thursday, October 13, 2011

    Update 10/13

    Wow, that was long. I might do that again next week, though, as I feel I got a lot of stuff done. I mean, look at this changelog!


    Major Updates
    - The bulletin board now shows your performance towards the next promotion when you're an exotic/private dancer.
    - New Jobs! Hooker and Nude Model are now actually available as job promotions from the exotic and private dancer jobs (note: Nude Model is only available via Private Dancer). However, despite my best efforts, Nude Model is not implemented, so DO NOT take the job if you want to continue the game. Also, Hooker only has one type of interaction available for now. I'm simply too tired after 6 hours of coding to get it done. I'll try and finish/add to it tomorrow.

    Minor Updates
    - Tweak: when you elect to go jogging without wearing the appropriate clothes, you'll get a message stating that you put your sweatsuit on before you go jogging. This does not affect the Get Dressed command (the game will still remember the last outfit you wore willingly).
    - You can no longer fight at the fight club if you're too pregnant (8 weeks for normal pregnancy, 1 week for inhuman).
    - New Interaction: beach girls at the beach. Random (20%) chance of showing up.
    - Tweak: Slut and Nymphomaniac now take longer to acquire.

    Bug Fixes
    - You should now have your swimsuit taken off and your clothes properly reapplied when you go home from the beach.
    - Jogging now properly resets at the end of each day.
    - Suntan lotion is available in the convenience store (whoops).
    - Latex Keyhole Dress will now only use the "get dressed" command once instead of twice.
    - When you go to the beach, your clothes will no longer appear in the locker at the strip club, instead remaining in your inventory.
    - Clothes that remain in your inventory at the beach will have the "Wear" command deactivated, so that you can only wear the swimsuit until you return home.
    - After the first day of being too pregnant to work at the strip club, you can now go back to work properly.

    Known Problems
    - The suntan lotion doesn't work properly. Somehow the check got changed from making sure it's in the cabinet to something else. Will be fixed in the next build.
    - Swimsuits don't remove properly when you leave the beach. The check to remove the swimsuits got moved down to after the check to get dressed somehow. Have I mentioned that RAGS is weird?

    Wednesday, October 12, 2011

    Update 10/12

    A new location ain't too shabby for an update, right?

    Major Updates
    - New location: the beach. You'll need a swimsuit to really do anything there, so...
    - New items: swimsuits can now be purchased. They never require tailoring, so rest easy.

    Minor Updates
    - The syringe of green liquid (growth hormone) now has different text if you use it when knowing the effect.
    - Due to overwhelming demand, I re-tweaked lactation. It's now actually easier than it used to be to get started on lactation, but I tweaked the levels a bit, so that it's just a bit harder to max out.

    Bug Fixes
    - You can now go jogging at the appropriate times, and only once per day.
    - Go for a walk now takes time, as was intended.
    - Buying the t-shirt and jeans doesn't degrade your body size anymore. Yays.

    Also, worth noting: the long-awaited long stream will be tomorrow. I'm going to try to start around 10-11am, and go until 5pm. We'll see how much I can get done in that time.

    Tuesday, October 11, 2011

    Update 10/11

    I forgot to rename the file, so it's still 10/10. So...ignore that? Or delete your current 10/10 version.

    Major Updates
    - Two new commands at the front door: Go For A Walk and Go Jogging. Both have a heightened chance of random events, and both are also good for fitness building (go for a walk will only build fitness to 40, though). Induce Luck does affect your chances of random events with these, as well.
    - One new fight club fighter, Bullet.

    Minor Updates
    - Tweaked Lactation. It takes a lot longer to get milky breasts now. Blame the people in the stream.
    - Tweaked Fitness. It now acts more like a regular skill, in that it starts at 0 and builds to 100. However, unlike skills, it can go down, so you have to maintain it.

    Bug Fixes
    - The purple hair dye is now in the pharmacy (whoops).

    I started work on a new location, but unfortunately, didn't have the time to finish it. Hopefully, you'll be able to get there tomorrow.

    Monday, October 10, 2011

    Update 10/10

    I hate repetitive events.

    Major Updates
    - Two new fighters in the fight club.

    Minor Updates
    - Tweaked the chances of running into a random encounter. Note that the first person that complains that they are now too frequent...I will chop your head off.
    - Purple hair is now available in dye form and from random events.

    Bug Fixes
    - Pregnancy test should now work properly (human pregnancies only).
    - I know I fixed some other stuff, but I can't remember what.

    Stream Delayed

    Got some real life issues happening this morning, but I'm hoping to start around noon (two hours later than normal). I'll be back to normal streaming tomorrow, promise.

    Things that were requested via donations:
    - Purple Hair (easy, let's do that today!)
    - Problems due to big breasts (or other body shapes)
    - Puppy Girl TF (the donator requested either dog-like actions, or a dog transformation, and I'm debating which one I want to do).
    - Visit Strip Club as a customer (planned!)
    - Hairstyles, as opposed to just color and length. Also, a way for Genevieve to give you a random makeover.

    Friday, October 7, 2011

    Update 10/7

    Unfortunately, the same old tune: never as much done as I wanted to get done.

    Major Updates
    - You can now fight at the fight club. There's only one opponent right now, but adding more shouldn't take too much time.

    Minor Updates
    - Some new items have been added (and some are tied to getting certain sexual traits). They're not yet useable, so they're more like sneak peaks at what's coming than actual full-fledged items.

    Bug Fixes
    - You now have to actually pay for ice cream.
    - Lip balm will now swell your lips as intended.

    Thursday, October 6, 2011

    Okay, Seriously, Stop Donating

    Once again, you people have exceeded all possible expectations. And then you went and did it again.

    At this point, I'm good for donations through the third week of November. And, like, half of the next week. I don't want any more of your money!

    I really do appreciate all of your support. If you still want to donate to request something, I'm not going to stop you, but if you're wondering if you've donated enough to support the game, well, stop wondering. Mission accomplished.

    Plenty of good ideas submitted, though. If you've donated and haven't requested something, please do, so I don't feel like a beggar.

    In the meantime, I'll be back to normal streaming tomorrow. And it will be glorious. Or run-of-the-mill. You know, either way. I'm sure it'll be fun.

    No Stream Today

    Just in case you missed the message, no stream today. Gots to work at my real life job (almost called it my actual job, but this is a job too, and I like it a lot more than my real life job!).

    I may or may not stream tonight, but I'll definitely be back tomorrow.

    Wednesday, October 5, 2011

    Have I Mentioned How Awesome You People Are?

    Thanks to generous donations, I've reached the goal for the month in less than 24 hours.

    In thanks for all your support, I'm going to do an extra long stream next Thursday (that would be the 13th). I'm going to hopefully spend the next few days coming up with stuff that I can actually work on. If you have anything in particular that you'd like me to work on, leave a comment and I'll see what I can do.

    And to reiterate: you people are fucking awesome. Thanks.

    Update 10/5

    Please don't forget to read this post.

    Major Updates
    - New random event enables a new location: Abandoned Warehouse, the location of the city's illicit fight club. You can only go there once, currently, but I'll add to it some more next time, so you can fight different fighters for bonuses like cash.

    Minor Updates
    - The thighmaster no longer changes your fitness or burns fat. It's strictly for shaping your butt (hence why it doesn't consume time to use it). It also works to push your butt towards "pert, heart-shaped", instead of just slimming it down, because that didn't make much sense.
    - Novice Stripper, Stripper, Exotic Dancer, and Private Dancer will now lose a little fat from working.
    - Renamed the file from Cursed Rebuild to just Cursed. Not at all important to anyone but me, I'm sure.

    Bug Fixes
    - Lip balm can now be applied, and wears off properly as well.
    - Ballroom dancing now shows proper descriptions of the action.
    - Weight limits have been changed so that going to the tailor to get your clothes properly fitted, or buying new clothes/underwear will not lower or raise your weight.
    - Fixed hip changes (inflatable dildo was working fine; the system to change hip sizes wasn't)
    - Platform shoes and platform boots will now work correctly when you leave the strip club.

    Known Bugs
    - Lip growth does not progress beyond normal (already fixed, but I'll put out a more comprehensive update tomorrow at some point). 

    Important Note
    I have to work a normal day shift tomorrow, so there will be no 10/6 stream, unfortunately. But I will be back on Friday, so rejoice.

    Fucking Hackers

    While at my (real life) job today, I suddenly received an email stating that I had successfully purchased a total of 10,000 Xbox points.

    Needless to say, this was troubling as a) I was at work, and b) I haven't bought Xbox points in months.

    Turns out someone has apparently managed to take control of my Xbox Live account, and used the ill-gotten points to purchase some sports packs for some bullshit EA Sports game. I contacted my bank and Xbox to get the charges reversed, and in both cases, it'll take time. Like, two weeks minimum if I'm lucky, and three to four weeks otherwise.

    In the meantime, thanks to overdraft charges (because I tend to keep my personal bank account pretty low), I'm in the red  by two hundred and twenty dollars.

    Fucking hackers.

    I've updated the donation goal on the left to reflect the fact that I'm kind of desperately in need of cash right now. Because I'm still not a greedy bastard, I'm going to call this the monthly donation goal for October: I'll keep releasing updates for the rest of the month, and hopefully transition back to a weekly donation goal in November. Standard rules for donations apply, however, so you can request an addition to the game with your donation.

    And let me just say in advance that I really appreciate any help you guys can give me during this really fucking annoying time.

    EDIT: I have contested the charges at my bank, but they also have to run an investigation, which will take two weeks. So either way, I'm screwed.

    Update 10/4

    Actual Stuff!

    Major Updates
    - The dance studio is now a bit more fleshed out, with the option of four different dance classes. They all cost the same price, but can have slightly different effects. Also of note: you can only use the dance class once per day. More than that would be game-breaking.

    Minor Updates
    - Hips, butt and lips shape will now gravitate towards maintaining their current state at the end of the day. Still pretty easy to overcome if you're looking for a specific look, but once you're there, it's slightly easier to maintain that particular look.

    Bug Fixes
    - Lip balm now properly wears off after two time periods, allowing you to re-apply it.
    - Thighmaster added to the furniture store (I couldn't find a better place for it).
    - Succubus transformation no longer boosts your inhibitions to 10 if they're lower than that.
    - Fixed an (apparently) unnoticed error with the lip, hip and butt shape scales.

    Monday, October 3, 2011

    Update 10/3

    First update of October. Sweet.


    Major Updates
    - Your hip shape, butt shape, and lip shape can now change. Note that all three of these will naturally gravitate towards "neutral" values over time; for example, butt shape will slowly change to normal sized, assuming you don't influence yourself, whether it's smaller or bigger.


    Minor Updates
    - New items, mostly to influence your body shape. Lip balm for lips, thighmaster for butts, and the inflatable dildo for hips. Some actions have also been changed to influence these variables as well (for example, sit on your butt all day watching TV, and you might notice it getting bigger).
    - Tweaked the fat burning protocol to burn fat twice as fast. Whether or not it stays this way is up for debate.
    - New action at the food court: buy ice cream.


    Bug Fixes
    - The CT_SETVARIABLE error has been fixed. Rejoice.

    Known Bugs
    - The new items either don't go to the right places or aren't in the game. Whoops!

    Also, I have been terrible about replying to my email, and I apologize. I will get to it in the next couple of days, so if you've sent me an email in the last couple of weeks, I have received it, and I will answer it soon (I've been quite busy lately).

    Character Sheets

    Started to do some planning for characters (i.e. persistent NPCs rather than ONS characters) that the player can romance, and realized that I need to do something else first. So, I came up with character sheets in about ten minutes.

    Weekend Nonsense

    Just a quick post to let people know a few things.

    Known Bugs and Issues
    - There is a problem that causes RAGS to throw an error regarding CT_VARIABLE. Most likely I missed a variable call somewhere when decoupling fitness from weight.
    - The new player description refers to eye color as brown, even when your eyes can be different colors due to transformation.
    - When loading a save from version 9/29 to 9/30, weight goes from whatever to obese. This is because of the changes made to the fitness system: you can be fit but fat. If your fitness in 9/29 was 100, your weight in 9/30 is still 0, because you haven't used that variable before.
    - Gaining weight (rather, going lower on the weight scale) is a little too fast. Need to tweak it.
    - Couple of bugs regarding the succubus transformation, namely minimum arousal and lowering inhibitions.

    Also, please note that, while I understand that bugs are frustrating and annoying, keep your language clean in the comments. Unnecessary use of curse words just annoys me, makes me disregard your comments, and usually ends with me deleting your comments. Keep it clean and constructive.

    Friday, September 30, 2011

    Update 9/30

    Big changes, but not substantial changes.

    Major Updates
    - Fitness is now decoupled from weight. You can be fat but in relatively good shape. Eventually, your level of fat will directly affect how fit you can be (though it would be hard to hit the cap of fitness without also reducing fat).
    - Player description has been changed to reflect a couple of new additions, notably butt size, hip size, and lip size. There is currently no way to influence these, but I'll be changing that on Monday.


    Minor Updates
    Apparently none.


    Bug Fixes
    - Fixed some previously unknown bugs with the Get Dressed command.
    - Other, minor stuff.

    As always, any bugs, please report. And suggestions, feel free to suggest. Any comments, I'm all ears. Any flames, die in a fire.

    Thursday, September 29, 2011

    Update 9/29

    It's an update! Yay!

    Major Updates
    - Werewolf TF is now finished, with a bad end if you go to far, and a cure if you don't give in at all. The event to GET the werewolf TF is still random, and therefore difficult to get.
    - New item, wolfsbane. Temporarily at the pharmacy until I find a better place for it. It reverses the effects of lycanthropy. It's not fully implemented (you can take it right there in the store and buy more), but I ran out of steam.

    Minor Updates
    - Changed the way the dildo panties work. They how increase your arousal with every action you take while they're on, as opposed to every time unit update.

    Bug Fixes 
    - The Skip Intro option now allows you to name your character, rather than giving you an assigned name.
    - I know I fixed some other stuff, but I couldn't tell you what.

    As always, any bugs, please report, any suggestions, please...suggest, and and process improvements are welcome (usually).

    Wednesday, September 28, 2011

    Update 9/28

    I got some stuff done.

    Minor Update
    - Added some more stuff to the Werewolf TF. Which, now that I think about it, is a little broken, but oh well, I can fix that tomorrow.

    Other Changes
    - RAGS version updated to 2.2.10.0. Check the link in the changelog to download it.
    - Removed all the stuff dealing with Import/Export. Because 2.2.10.0 supports save game merging. It MAY BE BUGGY. Do NOT report to me problems with using old saves in new versions, because I can't do anything about it. Also, you can't use your old saves in THIS version, but you should be able to going forward (unless I note otherwise, due to variable changes or whatever).

    Tuesday, September 27, 2011

    Much too sick

    I am not feeling better. I am feeling worse.

    No stream today. I might still work on the game, or I might pass out on the couch and dream of fruit cups for some reason. It's a toss up.

    Sorry, folks.

    Monday, September 26, 2011

    Update 9/26

    Between the issues with Livestream not working and feeling like crap, I pretty much only did bug fixes and tweaks.

    Bug Fixes
    - Inhuman pregnancies have been tested and now confirmed to be working (slime girl and naga were bugged).
    - Changed how the game figures periods again. Still couldn't reproduce the errors people are reporting (I don't doubt they're happening, I just can't figure out why).
    - Goddess Treatment and Beauty Treatment are still repeatable, but you will be wasting money (see tweaks).
    - Cashmere overcoat can now be removed in the foyer.
    - Fixed some miscellaneous stuff with the one-night-stands at the bar. Like not being able to find certain people when your sexuality is at a certain level.
    - Fixed the time advancement when pregnant and working at the strip club. Time should properly advance now.


    Tweaks
    - The Goddess and Beauty Treatments now check to see if you have a facial, manicure and pedicure already. If you do, it refreshes them, but you don't get the non-natural charisma bonus again. Also, the beauty treatment reduces your arousal by half, though I'm thinking that's a little high, so it'll likely be tweaked to 25-30% later.

    Friday, September 23, 2011

    Update 9/23

    Not necessarily what I thought I would get done, but hey, progress is progress!

    Major Additions
    - The "wolf howls" event will now lead to a partially implemented werewolf TF, if you get infected. There's currently no way to avoid it, but it also currently doesn't do much.

    Minor Additions
    - New random events: Propositioned for Sex, Lost Wallet, Man Being Mugged, Overheard Conversation "Mistress and Slave" and Asshole Confrontation.
    - Started introducing the morality system, though it's not implemented entirely (and you won't notice when it is, since it's the one variable you will never be able to see).

    Bug Fixes
    - Fixed the cat TF to allow tail change.
    - Some other minor bugs (mostly went unnoticed until I found them apparently).

    Worth Noting and Known Bugs
    - No, you can't use old saves with new versions. Yet. Apparently when RAGS 2.3.0.0 is released, that will be one of the major feature updates, which means I can finally take out Import/Export. There will still be points when you need to start fresh, but hopefully fewer times.
    - The overcoat is a little buggy. First on my list of things to fix Monday. Note that the overcoat is not supposed to hide a tail.
    - Werewolf infection is not always 100% guaranteed, so you can encounter the "Wolf Howls" event and still not be infected.
    - Tanktop and shorts are potentially acting funky.
    - People are still reporting problems with periods. I do not know why, as personal testing has not encountered problems.
    - Inhuman pregnancies don't seem to be completing (need to know how many days people are seeing messages. Should be 20, and then birth on the 21st). If you DO see an inhuman pregnancy completing, please report it so I know which ones are working and which ones aren't.
    - You can repeat the Goddess Treatment at the salon indefinitely (this is obviously not intended).
    - Manicures, pedicures and facials are not bugged: they last for 14 days.

    Thursday, September 22, 2011

    Update 9/22

    Better late than never.

    Major Updates
    - The succubus will now stick around. Also, new bad end! (note: she is not fully implemented yet)

    Minor Updates
    - A new book is available, but only after you buy something sort of related (i.e. the black dildo).

    Bug Fixes
    - The inhuman pregnancies now properly increment time (week 2 doesn't last from day 8 to 11 of the pregnancy, in other words).
    - Probably some others, I don't know.

    Wednesday, September 21, 2011

    Update 9/21a

    Hay guys, it's sum bug fixes!

    Minor Updates
    - Lactation naturally decreases over time, making it harder to get it higher, and possible to lose it entirely if you don't "keep it up", so to speak.

    Bug Fixes
    - Fixed the black halter top outfit not fitting when auto-worn.
    - Fixed the bug that prevented the breast pump from working more than once.


    Clarifications
    - The black dildo is now a little harder to buy (random chance of showing up in the adult store, befitting it's cursed/magical nature).

    Update 9/21

    Sweet.

    Major Additions
    - Changed the way lactation works: it's no longer a trait, and the more you indulge your lactation fetish, the more milk you'll produce (in theory, untested).
    - The black dildo pregnancy chance has been added again. Though it's not what you think... There will be more to this later, as hinted in the game.


    Minor Additions
    - If you're using alteration magic, you have a 50% chance every day to lower the suspicion created from those spells by 1.


    Bug Fixes
    - The latex keyhole dress was resetting Fitness to 10 when tailored. Fixed.
    - The drug dealer giving you his phone number now activates the phone properly.
    - The drug dealer's threshold for giving his phone number has been doubled (you have to spend $2000 instead of $1000).
    - The landlady no longer traps you in her office forever.
    - The special project in the secretary job now properly checks whether or not it needs to be completed.
    - When you run out of tampons, the box properly disappears and you'll need to buy more.
    - Being pregnant as a stripper now allows you to continue to get paid by working at the desk (I think? I'm honestly not remembering if I fixed this).

    Update 9/20

    Not included in the list below is some behind the scenes stuff I set up. It's inconsequential because it's not accessible in the game yet.


    Major Updates
    - The landlord now has his fourth option (mostly) implemented. When I get the time, I'll adjust it so that he can use you in one of three ways when he shows up, but for now, it's just a minor sex scene.
    - A new landlord? A new landlord! Note that the first time you go to the building manager's office is when the game determines which landlord you have, so if you see Jim, you'll need to start a new game to (possibly) see the other one. This is a straight 50-50 chance, and nothing influences it.

    Minor Updates
    - Buying a lot of stuff from the drug dealer will now allow you to call him. Note that him giving you a phone number is based on the amount you buy from him, not the number of items, and that the clear liquid doesn't count towards the total amount (because I'm a jerk).

    Bug Fixes
    - Fixed the tailor to reset your fitness to the right levels for the asymmetrical dress, the tanktop and shorts, and the secretary outfit.
    - Adjusted the changes to sexuality for the adult movies on the HDTV.
    - Modified the way the game calculates your monthly cycle, so that hopefully it works better. Please let me know if periods or pregnancy are still behaving oddly (with details, please).
    - You can no longer get pregnant from the black dildo, until I make some adjustments.
    - Fixed the problem with pregnancy progression (I think).

    Known Bugs
    - You can't leave the landlady's office after negotiations.
    - Getting the drug dealer's phone number doesn't activate the phone itself (also, based purely on speculation, the drug dealer's target for getting the phone number is too low, and will be adjusted upwards).
    - Periods are reportedly still "weird" (more information would be helpful).

    Update 9/19

    Yeah, I called it 9/17 in the file name because apparently I'm an idiot who doesn't pay attention to things. Go me.

    Major Updates
    - The clothing system is now completely revamped in terms of fitting and tailoring. If your fitness changes, you will now receive a warning when your clothes don't fit right, at which point they can be tailored. If you continue to ignore the warnings and your fitness continues to change, your clothes will not fit at all and need to be tailored. The window for wearing clothes is therefore increased.

    Minor Updates
    - Nothing, really

    Bug Fixes
    - The Daiquiri at the bar now costs the correct amount of money.
    - Your breasts (and fitness) will no longer change when you get your clothes tailored.

    Also, as a side note to everyone that requested that I change the way clothes work so that you can wear clothes without having to worry about going to tailor and blah blah blah. To you people, I say FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU! 

    (Seriously, revamping the clothes system took six hours)

    An Explanation

    So why did I make a big fuss Friday about people donating when I'd asked people to donate? Simple answer: I'm not greedy.

    I added the post about donations just before I went to my job in a call center, where obviously I don't want to do anything related to this blog or this game for fear of losing said job. Unfortunately, when the donations started to come in fast and furious, I had no way to update the goal counter. When I reached the goal, I was happy. When I started to greatly exceed the goal, I felt like a liar.

    Were people donating just to help reach the goal that, unbeknownst to them, had been reached hours before? Or were people donating simply in support of the project? Because I didn't know, I had to assume the former, and if they were donating to reach the goal that had already been reached, but I couldn't update the goal, then they were giving me money under false pretenses.

    When I hit $100 dollars, I started to panic. When I hit $200, I desperately considered ways to tell people to stop that wouldn't get me fired.

    I'm extremely grateful to everyone that feels this project is good enough to support with cash donations. I'm eternally grateful to everyone who's a fan and wants me to keep this up. And I don't ever want people to think that I'm looking for a handout or begging or demanding cash, because I'm not. I want to be upfront with people and let them know that, when the goal has been reached, hey, you can stop donating if all you were looking to do was reach the goal. The fact that I couldn't was driving me absolutely bonkers.

    But again, thank you, everyone, donators and fans, that enjoys the game I'm creating. It reminds me that I'm not just doing this for me and tells me that I'm actually quite good at what I do, that, after a short announcement that I was $32 short of the weekly goal, I managed to raise more than $250 in five hours. It's...well, humbling, actually. I know it should probably be the opposite, but I'm humbled by your generosity.

    In less sappy news, the following things have been requested, and I actually had some time to plan some of them out this weekend. I figured it was the least I could do.

    - Greater body shape control (i.e. hips and butt expansion)
    - Maternity/nursing bra that affects lactation
    - Amazon mistress/dominatrix
    - Stretchy/rubber/Elastigirl transformation
    - More piercings
    - More eyewear (glasses)
    - Maid/French Maid/Fetish Maid activities
    - Some kind of bunny girl transformation/event

    Also planned some stuff from the backlog that I've been putting off.

    - Lip expansion
    - Lactation "levels"
    - Nylons/Pantyhose
    - Skin Tones
    - Male landlord option 4, female landlord, and more

    And some other interesting stuff. Should be a good week.
