Update 1/31

Yays. Also end of the month wooooooooooooooooooo...

Major Updates:
- Pray is back in the game, more or less. The pew now defaults to the Reflect command, which will give you two choices. Depending on which choice you pick, you can develop a tendency towards religion (which unlocks the Pray option), or a tendency towards disrespecting religion (which unlocks the other option). This is all placeholder text for now, though, so don't expect anything great and terrible.

Minor Updates:
- The second floor of the mall now has a new item: the donation box. You can donate money for a morality boost (one or two points, depending on what you donate). However, if you're not interested in donating money, try showing up with the lockpicks in your inventory...
- New testing item command: Strip Everything. It should removing all clothing, underwear, jewelry and gloves and put them in their proper containers. Note that this command can be used anywhere and could potentially break the game. I am not responsible for failure to heed the warning.

Bug Fixes:
- All clothes will now be removed when you use the bed.
- The special outfit had some descriptions being set wrong. Fixed.
- Nuns will no longer keep appear in the convent.
- Nuns now have the Talk action properly activated, so you can, you know, talk to them.
- If you leave the apartment without wearing any gloves or socks, the game will remember that and not add them next time you use the Get Dressed command. Still trying to figure out how to do this for jewelry (much harder).
- Futanari multi-dick bad end has had the threshold for activating it lowered from 15 points to 10 points. Still only a 10% chance if you're over that threshold though.

Notes:
- There is no way to increase inhibitions. Inhibitions only goes down. NO EXCEPTIONS.

New Schedule

My sleep schedule is back to normal after two nights of general sleeplessness, so this means I'll be back to streaming normally.

Of course, "normally" means something different now. My schedule at work changed, so I now work 4 hours on Tuesdays. While this is good for my bank account (I like having more money!), it's bad for my streaming schedule.

So, in the interests of still actually getting work done, I'll be streaming Tuesday nights, and Thursdays at the normal time. I may transition to one update per week after the Thursday stream, so that the Tuesday stream can focus on smaller things and the updates can be more substantive. I may also be streaming randomly other nights of the week, but never more than two or three a week (including Tuesdays and Thursdays).

And, as always, I will post notices when I start streaming.

Plan for this week:
Tuesday: Requested Stuff and some minor tweaks to gameplay.
Thursday: More job stuff that I meant to do last week (going to try to add Call Girl).

No Stream Today

I know, you're reading that title and you're all "what." Believe me, I would be upset, too, especially after the lackadaisical Tuesday stream.

However, given that it is currently 5:36am, and I have not been able to sleep even a little bit, so much that at this point I've given up trying for a while, I think it's safe to say that I'm going to (hopefully) be sleeping most of the day.

I'll still push out bug fixes today at some point, but no stream.

Sorry.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

Update 1/24

Motivation just up and disappeared. Sorry. But I did get some stuff done today, and I'll make it up on Thursday (or try to).

Major Updates
- Sister Sophia is complete until the Church events progress.
- Changed the check for seducing nuns into sex. It's now a combination of Sex Skill and Deception Skill, added together, and divided by 2.

Minor Updates
- Set For Next Promotion on the testing item now has the Nude Model option available (only for Private Dancer path).

Bug Fixes
- The Get Dressed for Work command will now properly apply shoes.
- The Get Dressed command will now put on the last gloves you wore.
- The cashmere overcoat will now be removed before anything else happens when using the Get Dressed for Work command on the strip club locker.

Thursday, January 19, 2012

Update 1/19a

NOTE: "Emergency" bug fix. Forgot to flip the switch to let you see the stuff past the first day of the nude model job. New version is 1/19a.

6 goddamn hours later, and Nude Model is implemented (but not complete). And dammit, that list looks short as all hell...

Major Updates
- Nude Model job is now available and playable. There's some placeholder text for about 20% of the events because I just ran out of steam at about 5 and a half hours.

Minor Updates
- None that I can think of.

Bug Fixes
- Nun clothing can now be tailored as part of the Casual Clothes group (thought I did that already...)
- Fixed a problem with clothes not being put on when you come back from the beach.

Also, just as a note: Donations for the week are stuck at about $80. Just, you know, pointing it out.

Laughing My Ass Off

I would just like to say that I think it's hilarious that the "pray" controversy has sparked more debate and discussion than anything I've done in the last 7 months.

Don't worry, it'll be back in the game at some point. I'm going to rework it, make it more variable, and give the player more choice.

Tuesday, January 17, 2012

Update 1/17

Starting feeling unwell. Had to stop.

Major Updates
- Sisters Sophia and Marie now have unique dialogue options. The other nuns will as well, but as I said above, I started feeling ill, so I couldn't finish. Sophie is 90% done, but her sex scenes aren't unique yet.

Minor Updates
- Removed the Weight Loss Powder. People simply were not getting that it doesn't actually work (like weight loss powders in real life!). Weight Gain Powder is still available though.
- Disabled the Pray option temporarily from the church pew. Apparently, some people don't like the religious implications. I will be adding it back later after I rework it some.

Bug Fixes
- Altered the Get Dressed command at the strip club. It will only put on articles of clothing that are in your locker, now.
- Robot transformation wasn't progressing past the first stage. Problem was improperly nested if/then trees. Fixed it.
- Player wasn't getting the option of using a condom during sex, and wasn't having their period. Fixed.
- Some of the lines for Inhuman traits were showing twice. Fixed.

Update 1/15, Bug Fixes

Donation goal for the week has been reset, woo.

Bug Fixes
- Nun outfit is now part of the Casual clothing group, and can be tailored.
- Weird chemical resets every day after drinking it.
- Sandals, strappy sandals, and strappy heels will now be worn properly when going home from the beach.
- The Get Dressed command now puts on the floral print dress properly.

Could Not Reproduce
- The Get Dressed command puts on the purple belted dress as intended. Couldn't find a problem with it.

Not A Bug
- The nun outfit doesn't have a description. I haven't put one in yet.

Thursday, January 12, 2012

Update 1/12

So much for that "updating throughout the day" thing...

Major Updates
- Robot transformation is now active. To initiate it, use the weird chemical from the lab. I'm sure it's buggy as hell, but that's what testing is for.
- New location: Church. There are four rooms here, two of which are only accessible when you're wearing a certain piece of clothing. The church's purpose is mostly to raise morality, by praying, using the confessional, and attending services (Sundays). However, there is another purpose to the church, which has the opposite effect; following through will send your morality into a nose-dive. The church is not fully implemented, but the basic stuff is available.

Minor Updates
- Modified Get Dressed to take less time (and be more work for me, ugh).
- New Item: Nun Outfit. This does not have a description on the clothing grid yet. The outfit cannot be worn to most locations, but you'll get a specific message when this is the case.

Bug Fixes
- Fixed the problem of double messages when using the breast pump.
- Changed starting morality to 51, to allow use of the Chastity Belt at the earliest opportunity (morality must be greater than 50 to wear it).
- Fixed the Back Room Manager job to only allow work on designated work days.

Long Stream Details

So the long stream is tomorrow. Twelve delightful hours of streaming.

The plan is to begin around 10am EST. There will be a short break at about 7pm EST, as I have to pick up my wife from work, but until that counter reaches 12 hours (total), I'll be here. In this chair. Coding. Or playing games.

But mostly coding.

If it's anything like the last long stream I did, I'll slowly be going crazy around the 9 hour mark, so if that's all your interested in, tune in then. Also, remember that the stream is limited to 50 viewers, and I hit that cap within two hours last time, so get in early to guarantee a seat.

As a personal favor to me, if you step away from watching the stream for an extended period of time, please let someone else take your spot. And if you have a question, but can't view the stream (and therefore can't hear me), please let me know so that I can answer your question properly.

Update 1/10

It wasn't long, but key updates!

Major Updates
- New item: chastity belt. This under-underwear item can be worn and removed when you're naked. Wearing it overnight will reduce your arousal by 10, and have the following effects: Slut -1 (if slut is not unlocked). If Slut = 0, Exhibitionist -1 (if exhibitionist is not unlocked). If Slut and Exhibitionist = 0, Proper +1. There is also an additional effect, but it's not currently in the game yet.

Minor Updates
- Transformations have been redone. They now work properly. In addition, if you progress along one transformation and then another becomes dominant, the newly dominant TF will override all your previous body changes. So you can't grow a cow tail and then progress along the cat TF with that cow tail: it'll eventually be overridden.

Bug Fixes
- Fixed the bug with the overcoat at the beach preventing the proper removal and wearing of clothing and swimsuits.
- Underwear should now be properly worn when using the Get Dressed command on the locker.
- Amazingly, no other (actual) bugs reported. Some typos, but eh.

So...about that late stream...

Stream will start later than usual today. I've got a guy coming by to fix my dishwasher, and I don't want to be streaming pseudo-porn when that happens. He was supposed to show in the morning...oh well...


Today's stream might be shorter than usual as a result, but since the 12 hour stream is happening on Thursday, I'm not too worried about that.


I was all ready to stream, but then the guy fixing my dishwasher showed up late (not his fault, I don't blame him), and then he can't fix the dishwasher right now, but he'll be back to do it later...but he doesn't know when.

I can't really stream under these conditions!

I'm going to stream for an hour or two tonight. Sorry about the problems. Again, because the long stream is happening Thursday, I'm not going to lose any actual time, but I was hoping to get more done.

Oh well, life gets in the way of itself all the time, I suppose.

Sorry again.

Update 1/6

Dunno why I decided to do this today, but I did.

Bug Fixes:
- Udder growth option didn't show up if the player has increased the Cow TF too quickly.
--> Changed transformation options completely: whatever transformation is dominant will cause all changes at or below the current level. So if you're 40% cat, and then get to 50% cow, you'll see all the changes that get you up to 50% cow. This will prevent mix-and-matching parts, but since that's not really a long term goal anyway, it's not a big deal. This may cause problems, please inform me of any bugs.
- Udder growth option will no longer show up every morning.
- Get Dressed at the locker at the Strip Club fixed. This was actually a bug with the Strip Naked command, but I won't bore you with details.
- The sweatsuit can no longer be put on over the waitress uniform.
- Futa growth was unable to progress beyond juvenile. Fixed.
- Tampons are no longer a permanent fix; you'll need a new one every day of your period.
- Choosing "Maria" as your name in the intro now sets your name to "Kim" as the text indicates it should.
- Random Growth Spurts event will now set your natural height to 7', or should, anyway. Thought I could elegant my way out of that, ended up having to brute force through it.
- Platform shoes and boots should be fixed to properly add to height now.
- The "Sex for Money" random event now changes your sexuality (pushes you towards heterosexuality).
- Strappy heels now add to your heels skill (+2) and your reformed feet trait (+1), putting them on par with the medium heels.

Reported Bugs
If you can provide more details on this, or a save game, please do.
- Sometimes the game doesn't count the sweatsuit as being worn when exercising. Couldn't reproduce.
- Mixed reports on medical treatments. Some people are seeing them fine, some aren't. Worked fine in this version. Couldn't reproduce.
- Maternity outfits sometimes go on before underwear. Couldn't reproduce.
- Typos. I am not too concerned about fixing these right now.
- Non Natural Charisma is buggy. I know it is, this is due to the Get Dressed/Strip Naked revamp, but it's an involved fix. I'll do it in the near future.
- Couple of problems with one-night stands. Didn't have the energy to go wading into that fun morass right now.
- One-piece swimsuit sometimes goes into the closet but still has the (worn) tag. Couldn't reproduce.
- Pregnancy/Parenting skill can't be raised to 100. I haven't included one of the options (Lamaze class) yet, because it'll take some additional time to work it in.

Notes:
- After the first talk with Brittany, there are no other interactions with her. That's as far as that mission goes so far.
- Inhibitions can be reduced by various actions including theft. If you steal anything other than what is required from the lab mission, you will lose 5 points of inhibitions for each item taken.

Plans:
For Tuesday, I have some minor story events that I want to put into the game, and then I want to start work on a couple of new semi-major events: the mermaid and the church. The church is half planned, and the mermaid is 90%, so hopefully I'll be able to make some headway there.

For Thursday, I'll be streaming for 12 hours, and the plan is to work on the Robot Girl transformation, along with some other minor stuff, like finishing pregnancy once and for all, and working on a couple of more major story points, like the second mission.

Update 1/5

Insert not-at-all-witty comment here.

Major Updates
- Baby interactions. They are completely optional right now (in that they don't affect anything), and reference items that are not in the game yet (crib). Once the endings are added in, your decisions on interacting with your baby will affect the baby's ending.

Minor Updates
- The "random growth spurts" event has been tweaked slightly to increase your maximum natural height to 7' after the fifth or sixth event. This is permanent. Because platform shoes and boots can still increase your height, the new maximum for height is 7'6".
- The "Special Outfit" can now be used for the secretary job and the hooker job, as long as it is in an appropriate shape (max fem and min inhibition for hooker, med inhibition or higher for secretary).
- Appropriate clothes for the secretary job have been updated to include some maternity clothes (i.e. not the flirty or sexy maternity clothes), as well as the purple belted dress.
- During the Cow transformation, you will now have the option to touch either your breasts or your stomach at a certain point. Touching your breasts proceeds as normal. Touching your stomach results in an udder growing. This is purely cosmetic, currently, but will have effects on things such as clothing and milking (there's a small variation in milking already, but it's descriptive only).

Bug Fixes
- Futa growth will no longer result in bad end unless you really are overdosing in a single day.
- You can no longer get trapped in the Laboratory lobby during the 1st mission heist.
- The doctor's office offers special treatment options again.
- A weird bug that allowed you to put on underwear after putting on clothes has been fixed.
- The problem during the intro where the Femme Fatale could show up twice has been fixed.
- The special outfit should now be properly stripped off by the Strip command, and should be worn by the Get Dressed command.
- Maybe some others? I don't honestly remember.

Tuesday, January 3, 2012

Update 1/3

First update of the year!

Major Updates
- New Event: random growth spurts. This was a request. Basically, to activate, you have to hit maximum height (6'10"), and then keep trying to get taller (use the growth serum). First two extra doses don't do anything. Third dose locks in your height (you cannot get shorter anymore. Ever.), and then the following doses do different things when you go for a walk or jogging with high arousal (90%, 75%, 50%). This includes a bad end that, as always, you can avoid.

Minor Updates
- Tampons now have to be used manually; there's a command on the box in the bathroom to do so. I'm seriously freaking hoping this stops the stupid period bugs. These bugs are going to kill me, I swear.

Bug Fixes
- Stripping at the strip club will now put your underwear into your locker, as it should.
- Getting dressed for work while already dressed (again, at the stripper locker) will properly remove your current clothes, rather than putting on all your clothes on top of each other.
- Giving birth should now only happen once, as opposed to once a day (whoops!).
- Getting dressed for work will now properly put on your shoes, as opposed to ALL of the available shoes. Note that this might result in oddities, like not wearing the right shoes. Let me know if this happens.

Notes
- If you are seeing problems in the opening sequence with the three girls, please let me know what commands you're using. I tried the sequence a dozen times in the stream and couldn't produce any errors.
- The RAGS Engine has been updates to 2.3.0.0, finally. Hopefully this will reduce bizarre bugs. Link for the engine is on the right, as always.

Happy New Beer! I mean, Year!

A new year, sweet.

2011 was kind of crazy for me. Lots of stuff happened. Ah, but you don't care about that. What you care about is Cursed, and I can understand that.

The game went from something in my head and not even close to half-finished to something quite massive and, evidently, enjoyable. And it still not done. The goal for this year is to finish it, and I think I'm on track for that. Maybe sometime around September. We'll see.

You'll notice the donation goal on the right has been reset to what it used to be. No more crazy donation goals, at least not for now. Just a pretty simple $100 a week. As before, you can request new stuff to be added to the game (if you want, you can just donate to support as well), and when I reach the goal of $100, that means that the following week, I'll continue posting new versions. If I don't reach the goal for a week, the following week will have no new versions posted.

A stream is planned for the regular time on Tuesday. As for the 12 hour streams, I'm coordinating with Fenoxo, but right now, I'm planning for the 12th of January and the 19th of January for the 2 twelves. Should be fun.

With pregnancy stuff more or less implemented (it's about 80%), I have a backlog of requests that I want to get into the game. Then it's back to the Genevieve relationship and jobs. Probably jobs. They've been stagnant for a good long while now.

Here's to the new year. Hope it's a good one for all.

NOTE: the Requested Features page has been updated. I'm pretty sure I got everything in there, but if you requested something and you don't see it there, contact me. I don't want to miss anything.
