Re: New Jewelry and Bug Reports

Just an FYI, the new jewelry only shows up after you get the applicable piercing. So if you want the new gold/diamond upper ear studs, you need to have an upper ear piercing. I'm not sure if this is going to be a permanent thing, but it works for now.

Also, if you've reported a bug in the last few weeks and you haven't seen it get fixed yet, please leave a comment in this post. Hell, if you find a bug in the current version, leave a comment here. When leaving a comment, please be a precise as possible. For example, if it's a bug regarding a certain piece of clothing, I need to know the circumstances involved in reproducing the bug: what else you were wearing, where you where, what you were doing, etc. If I get bug reports and I can't actually reproduce them, I tend to write them off, so letting me know what steps to take to specifically reproduce the error is extremely helpful.

Tomorrow is likely going to involve an hour or so of bug-crushed, depending on how many bug reports I get. I want to stomp them out as much as possible, and I'll be focusing specifically on this comment thread, so your help is appreciated.

Update 2/29 And Requested Features

There were a couple of bugs in the last version (2/28) that were preventing the new stuff from working properly. I fixed those.

I also updated the Import/Export command to (hopefully) import and export sex and normal traits. It honestly should have been doing that before, but I think there was a bit of a glitch with Futanari. It also looks like it wasn't adding to the Sexual Traits list. So I fixed that too.

Also, because I like you people and I know you don't like low probability stuff, for this update only, if the inflatable dildo malfunctions, you will be specifically asked if you want to initiate the sex doll bad end. If you do, say yes and you'll be locked into it as if you hit that 1% probability. Say no to go about your business and move along.

Finally, I updated the Requested Features page. Can you believe that I only got two requests in the last two weeks? Wow. Not that I'm complaining, it means I get a good opportunity to catch up on things I've had pending. As always, if you don't see your request on the page, please let me know so I can update it.

Update 2/28

So what did I get done over the weekend JUST for you people, because you're awesome? Fucking lots.

Major Updates
- There is a new (currently one-time) encounter available while swimming at the beach. This will be fleshed out over the coming weeks into...well, something interesting, I hope.
- Multi-breasts are now available. Visit the doctor's office. Be kinky or in love with boobs. Ask for a breast enhancement.
- New Styles: Socialite (you need to wear a lot of expensive stuff and get manis and pedis, and get your hair done), Librarian (think restrained), and Hot Librarian (as above, plus exhibitionist, big boobs and inappropriate heels).
- Sex Doll TF: a very low chance of occurring. Requires the inflatable dildo to malfunction (which is a 10% chance), and even then is only a 5% chance of occuring, as it will lock you into a game ending situation if it happens. But there's two different endings there for anyone that wants to give it a shot.
- New items: gold/diamond earrings and upper ear studs, gold eyebrow ring, which give a better non-natural charisma bonus than the silver versions but are more expensive, and the nipple chain, which increases Submissive and Masochist by 1 point each, once per day.

Minor Updates
- Style checks will no longer trigger if you haven't showered. If you want to get a style bonus, you need to look after yourself.
- Strength now has two different variations, muscular and lean. All exercise equipment should push you towards one or the other extreme (it should be pretty obvious), but in addition to strength decreasing over time, your strength variation will gradually shift towards neutral (which defaults to lean) over time as well. In other words, if you want to be super-buff, you have to work at it constantly.
- New testing item command: Set Computer Software To Buyable. This will allow you to rebuy computer programs if they disappeared when you imported an old save, and also give you enough money ($250) to buy the computer programs again.

Bug Fixes
- There was a problem with fitness training. Basically, the way the system should work is that if you have any fat to burn off and exercise, the game will burn that fat off. If you don't have any fat, it will increase fitness/strength. Unfortunately, the check was reversed, so it increased fitness, but did not burn off fat. It'll do that now. And it should be a lot easier to lose weight as a result.
- Knee high socks were somehow still being added to inventory when using Get Dressed to put on stockings. Fixed.
- There was a specific weight range (70-79) where the check wasn't working right, so you essentially skipped over a body shape description. Fixed.
- Other bugs that I'm sure I've fixed, but don't even remember. The hazards of doing things over a number of days and not keeping notes.

So What's In The Next Version, Then?

Granted, yesterday sucked, and my legs may never be the same (maybe I can get awesome bionic legs), but that doesn't mean the game isn't still being developed. Whenever I get the chance to finish up the next version and post it, it might make sense to, you know, know what's coming.

Not my usual shtick, but you people have been pretty patient, and I appreciate that.

- Bug fixes (they're in every update, do I even need to mention it anymore?)
- A new beach encounter (want to know what it is? Look at the Requested Features page and find the most likely encounter that would ONLY be at a beach)
- Sex Doll TF (this is a bad end, but it's been pending for far too long)
- Different kinds of strength (instead of becoming a bulky He-Man with a vagina, the game will keep track of which workouts you prefer, so that you can be at 100 strength and still look feminine, if that's your thing)
- Multi-breast TF (Who doesn't want more boobs)
- A new testing item feature (You know that weird problem where, in using old saves with new versions, all your computer programs disappeared? Well, I can't fix that, but I can make the programs purchasable again. And give you the money to do it)
- More piercings (so you're no longer stuck with silver earrings and what not)
- New styles (Socialite [Think Paris Hilton...but, you know, not a stupid bitch] and Librarian/Hot Librarian)

So that happened

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to get back on my computer until...well, more or less now. I did get a graphics card*, but it's absolutely not a good card. My attempt to replace it with a different one ended...poorly.

Also, my legs aren't working so good as a more or less direct result.

I'm going to try to get some more work done this weekend, most likely on Sunday. But since I can't really do anything related to the game right now, I'm kind of...stymied.

This is really frustrating, I know, but when my shit breaks, it breaks.

* My old graphics card fan, which had been giving me trouble for months, decided to have a wire get pulled loose, which meant that my idle temperature for the card was about 80 degrees Celsius, more than 50 degrees higher than it should be. Top it off with the fact that my old card was one of the more notoriously difficult to repair cards, and basically, it necessitated replacement.

Fuck no, stream.

I kind of like starting early on Thursdays.


Now, I know I said that I would be working on jobs for the foreseeable future on Thursdays, but honestly, the Call Girl job is threatening my sanity at this point. So instead, today we get All Request Thursday.


(Disclaimer: All Request Thursday means Anonymous Man will be working on requested material, not that he'll be taking requests. Please do not make requests of what he should work on, he will ignore you.)


So let's get this shitshow started.

Things were going swimmingly until my graphics card fan (a source of endless frustration) died. And I don't mean it's not working right, I mean it's dead. No revival here.

I'm going to see if I can get another fan sometime today, but lacking transport as I do, it won't be for quite some time. Extremely annoying.

I'll probably stream later tonight, and finish up the work I started before posting a new version. Sorry about the technical problems...

Update 2/21

Yay.

Major Updates
- Chastity belt can now result in a special inhuman pregnancy. The more you wear it over night, the more likely you are to become pregnant. This can result in a bad end, though the requirements are kind of specific (you need wings and a very high morality).

Minor Updates
- Clothing will now properly reflect any underwear combination you can think of. This includes the special outfit variations.
- Maternity clothing has been slightly updated, but it's still not done (it doesn't make for fun streaming to do the same thing over and over again. There's about 90-100 more variations to do, which I will do either tomorrow or over the weekend).

Bug Fixes
- Call Girl wedding request was not properly firing. Fixed.
- The Get Dressed command was still checking weight for underwear. Fixed.
- Going home from the beach was still checking weight for underwear. Fixed.
- A bunch of miscellaneous fixes that I don't remember right now.

Update 2/16

Energy exhausted...parties are annoying!

Major Updates
- The call girl job has been updated to include the Wedding request.

Minor Updates
- None this time.

Bug Fixes
- Fixed underwear that was still checking body size improperly.
- Some other stuff I did yesterday that I no longer remember.

Download link here.

For the record, I am planning on working on the game Saturday and Sunday, so it will hopefully progress at least incrementally, though possibly in other areas than jobs (I haven't decided yet).

Tuesday, February 14, 2012

Update 2/14

The people have spoken.

Major Updates:
- Pregnancy effects (temporarily swollen breasts, massive hormone swings) are now in the game. There's a 35% chance of something happening each morning of your pregnancy: either stretch marks, swollen breasts, or massive hormone swings.
- Restricting underwear, revealing underwear, and black one-piece corset can now be worn. They do not yet have full descriptions, and their special effects are not yet in the game, because they are special events that significantly change the game.

Minor Updates:
- Underwear no longer cares how fat or fit you are. If you gain or lose weight, you will get to keep your underwear. Breast size still counts, and underwear is still thrown out if you can't get it on.
- New item: cocoa butter. Used to diminish the effects of stretch marks. Note that you don't need to use it, but stretch marks reduce your Natural Charisma by 3 if you don't.

Bug Fixes:
- Shifted some stuff around for the pregnancy effects to hopefully make them more consistent.
- Robots can no longer be pregnant. If you are pregnant, you can't advance Robot TF beyond 40. If you are a robot, the game does not even bother checking to see if you become pregnant from sex.
- You can now check mail any time after it is delivered (Early Afternoon to Late Night).

Download link here.

EDIT: Something seems to have gone wonky with a bunch of different systems that were working fine before. I think I know why, but I don't know exactly how. I'm going to try to fix them, but the more bug reports, the better.

There Will Be Stream

So I'm planning on streaming tonight, working on ye olde game, of course. There's just one problem. I don't want to start anything new because it would take too long and prevent me from throwing out an update, so I'd rather work on something existing, get it towards completion (something that's not career related).

The problem is, there are so many things in the game that are incomplete, I've got so many choices that I don't know what to work on. I am paralyzed by indecision.

So, here's where you come in. Leave a comment with what you'd like me to work on tonight and I'll see what I can do. Some things are not going to be available, like jobs, because that's reserved for Thursdays. But just about anything else is fair game.

Request Features Updated

As part of a resolution to stay more on the ball, I've updated the Requested Features page. As always, if you don't see your request, please let me know so I can add it.

I'm also going to try to respond to any outstanding emails today, so if you have a question or something, today's the day to let me know.

Finally, the weekly donation goal has been updated. It's a little lower than usual this week, because you people are so freaking awesome.

Update 2/11, Weekend Edition

What, you didn't see this coming? Surprise! And if you did see this coming, I'm on to you.

Major Updates:
- Something interesting will happen on Day 25, now...

Minor Updates:
- New item: Mail Slot. It's in the foyer. You can check your mail once a day (except Sundays), but it's mostly junk...mostly.
- New location: Gift Shop. It's on the third floor of the mall. There doesn't seem to be anything worth buying in there, but if you had a reason to go shopping there...
- If your health drops below 50 (normal), then you have a slightly increasing chance to wake up feeling terrible. These messages don't do anything other than notify you that your health is pretty bad...so far.

Bug Fixes and Tweaks:
- Arousal now shows as just a percentage on the status bar, so that it takes up less space.
- The nuns now respond properly to being met. In other words, you will not constantly be introduced to them (note: Bianca and Su Li are still incomplete).
- Nuns will also show their proper names in choices, rather than always showing Sister Claire. The texts are likely still screwed up, but I'm not worried about those yet.
- The call girl sex assignments will now correctly reflect if your client is male or female, rather than defaulting to male (a lot of things went wrong here).
- Pregnancy effects will now activate properly. Maternity clothes will update their descriptions (only on week 15 currently), and you'll now have to deal with stretch marks (swollen breasts and random, powerful hormone swings will be added later).

Update 2/9

Streamed for 5 and half hours, not bad. Not bad at all.

Major Updates:
- Call Girl job is now available. Currently, it only has the sexual aspects (i.e. getting hired for sex) available. Hopefully, next Thursday, I'll be able to implement the "extra" options, where the player is hired as an escort to parties, or as a temporary, last-minute replacement by a group of criminals.
--> Note: the Call Girl does not have a set schedule. Instead, the way it works is that if you didn't work the day before, you will get a call on your cell phone that day. If you worked the day before, there's a 67% chance of getting a call. If you worked the last two days in a row, there's a 33% chance of getting a call. If you worked the last three days in a row, you will not get a call. Also, if you take a job you don't want to do (such as taking a male client when you're a lesbian), you can get out of working it by...not going. There's no penalty for that.

Minor Updates:
- The Set For Next Promotion action on the testing item will work with the Call Girl job.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed a problem with the breast pump not recognizing when your breasts need to be milked properly. Note that it is possible to milk yourself more than once per day, but you will need to empty the reservoir first.

Update 2/7

Kind of a small update, but it cleared some stuff off my request backlog.

Major Updates
- Wing color will now change based on your morality. There are special colors for very, very high morality (95+) and extremely low morality (1, on a scale of 1 to 100).

Minor Updates
- Your breast description now reflects your current "milking" status if you're lactating. This should be dynamically updated, so you should be able to examine yourself to figure out where you are in terms of needing to be milked.
- Started (started) the process for maternity clothes descriptions to be updated. Currently, they'll update when you get to week 15 of the pregnancy only, which is conveniently when you can start wearing them. Eventually the plan is for them to be updated again at weeks 20, 25, 30, and 35, but I honestly just ran out of steam after writing 40 clothing descriptions.

Tweaks
- Moved the weather description in the status bar to just after the date, so it's easier to see.
- Anything I did in the 2-2 update.

I also worked on the Call Girl job again, but only for about half an hour before I realized that if I went without an update today, I would be lynched. So instead I worked on the above. Call Girl is now about 40% done, I would think. Maybe? Something like that.

In Re: Jobs

There's been a few questions and comments about jobs both here and elsewhere. So I figured I'd clear the air on a couple of issues.

First of all, Thursday streams, which generally go for 4-6 hours, are being devoted to progressing jobs for the foreseeable future. The only way to get them done is to sit down and do them, unfortunately (for me), so a significant chunk of my time is going to be spent doing just that. It sucks for me (I hate working on the same thing over and over), but it's good for you, because jobs have been stagnant for a while, and I need to focus on the core mechanics that I've been ignoring for (seemingly) unimportant stuff.

Second: I specifically want to finish the Eroticism career before I start working on anything else. This isn't as bad as it sounds. Currently, I have to finish the Call Girl job, then add in the Pimp/Brothel Madam job (same job, different approach), the Model and Supermodel jobs, the Porn Actress job, and the Bartender and Club Manager job. This sounds like a lot, I know, but it really isn't that bad. The model job is more or less a non-sexy extension of the Nude Model job, and the Bartender job won't be terribly difficult to do.

Third: That fourth job folder, the black one that talks about the Services job? That's going away. Instead, I'll be setting up what I'm calling "bonus" jobs. These are basically hobbies/part-time jobs that you elevate to full-time jobs over time. So, for example, if you buy a maid outfit and have a computer, you can advertise your part-time cleaning service on the internet, and work those jobs on your days off or your off hours. Build up enough of a reputation, and you can do it full-time, where it replaces your current job. These bonus jobs will not be promotable, but instead, you'll set up the job to work around you. If your cleaning service gets really busy, you can hire another employee, for example. If, on the other hand, the cleaning is really only a cover for the service you really provide (you know what I'm talking about), then you might need to alter your outfit to appeal to that clientele, and they'll definitely be interested in the "optional extras", so to speak.

Currently, the bonus jobs I have planned are Maid, Thief, and Convent Brothel Madam.

Edit: And possibly Band Member. Gotta get a use for that guitar somehow.

Donation Update

So there have been no donations this week. Just throwing that out there.

I want to point out that while donations are nice, they're not required, and I'm not overly concerned about going one week without donations. I don't want to sound like I'm greedy or anything, because this really is a labor of love at times. That being said, I do my best to make sure that I earn whatever donations I receive. I work pretty hard on this game, usually streaming 8-9 hours a week, and working offline planning things out as well.

And now I sound like I'm begging for money and I don't like it! Argh! I can't win.

Anyway, like I said, one week of no donations isn't that big a deal, but, if you wanted to request an addition to the game, now's a pretty good time.

Thursday, February 2, 2012

The Not Update

Yeah, that Call Girl update? About 33% done. Because it dramatically changes the way jobs work (you work from home, essentially), it requires a lot more work to get it into the game. Because that's the only thing I worked on, other than the tweaks, I'm not going to post a version update this time; what I've added isn't even in the game yet, so it would be a pointless update.

I'll be working on Call Girl on Thursdays until it's done. It'll probably take a couple of weeks to get it fully done, but it should be an interesting new job when it's done. For example, while you can be hired just for sex (hey, you're a call girl), some people will want an escort to a fancy party. Will you act slutty or aloof? Some people will want an escort to special events like weddings. What will you do?

But sadly, that's not in the cards for this update. In fact, this update isn't even an update as far as downloading it is concerned...Sorry about that.

Major Updates:
- Call Girl job 33% implemented.

Bug Fixes and Tweaks:
- Fixed the Strip Everything command to only check items that have been bought.
- Changed the Inhibitions reductor testing item command to lower it in 10 point increments, rather than setting it to 25.

Wednesday, February 1, 2012

Note:

Will be updating the Requested Features list some time tonight. Stay tuned (and, as always, let me know if you don't see your request up there).
