3.3 Close but not yet

Status
The Beta for 3.3 is getting close, just finalising a system for Slave Maker clothing (or lack thereof) and an upgraded system for avatar images for the slave maker.

Some previews of a couple of other changes











Previous selection methods still work, pulldown list only includes usable slaves/assistants.

NOTE:
People, please stop asking questions like
  • will the new version include all slaves/assistants/minor slaves
  • will the new version be a complete version of the game
New versions of the game are always a complete version including all released slaves/assistants/minor slaves. Well, EXCEPT for the few loli minor slaves that have been released, these will never be included in the full release, and the same will apply when any loli slaves are released.

Sometimes I will release a small bug fix, like 3.2.06a was and this will be just a simple patch. These are the exception, and even then I often release a full install as well.

 3rd Party Upgrades

Dark Magician Girl
regigigas released a new version, graphics only changes

M.I.A's Assistants

Here is a new release of my Assistants. Even if they all are still at version 1.2, I called this pack version 1.2.1.

Link:
http://uploadmirrors.com/download/0IQDQUMK/M.I.A._Assistants_V1.2.1.zip

This package contains the two v1.2 Upgrades, plus a new Assistant: Pizzazz, for the same animated series as the assistant Jem. She has no Nudity and no Tentacle Images. (But her folder got 100 images!) Also Angewomon, Colette, Kaitou Jeanne, Lethe, Luka, Mai Tokiha, Miku Hinasaki, Mio/Mayu, Ninian and Rebecca have an Image Upgrade. Some are big, 10 new images or more, while others are smaller. Lena and Wedding Peach also have a minor change to one of their images. The next release should be done after the new game version comes out, so I can add Renown Limit and maybe some custom text. (Example for Renown Limit: 30+ Renown for Colette, 60+ Renown for Luka… for more challenge^^.)

Wape's Assistants

Wape released several assistants

  1. ooh, anonymous posting. yay!

    i find if my funds (personal or slave) get over 10k (and the higher they are, the more likely this is to happen. anywhere near 25k and it's all but guaranteed within the week) they will, from time to time, randomly vanish and drop me back down to zero.

    if you're fixing things, could that go on the list?

    (using the swf in firefox on a linux machine, if that matters at all.)

    1. I remember it happening with Skyla whenever I lend her off to somebody. My cash just up and vanishes.

    2. i was having it happen every couple of days with Misty in my current game, lent out or not, no matter how much money i did or didn't have.

  2. What slave are you training when that happens, or is it for all slaves?

    2. The cash vanishing thing happened to me when I lent Musashi to Miss N. as a regular lend (night or day) action. Same thing happened with the next slave I trained, Bulma. Lending to Miss N. for the party did not cause my freelance slave account to zero out.

      Delete
    3. See, I had the opposite. Lending to Miss N. DID cause me to lose all my money as a freelancer, regardless of how much I had.

      Delete
    4. so far it seems that for a non-freelance slavemaker, their Personal money is less prone to doing this (still happens though) but other than that, the freelance/guild distinction isn''t the issue (unless there's several different things All causing this, of course...)

      Delete
  3. Looking forward to the new update becasue for some reason (I'm a computer dunce) I can't get any of the slave updates to work.

    One little glitch I've found and it's most likely been reported is when I'm training Peach and try to go to the restraunt, you go to the gave weather or not it's been unlocked or not.

  4. Nice to see dev is still ongoing, Cmac.

    ... Do I see a Lenneth Assistant?
    It's not Hrist, the colours aren't dark enough, and we almost never get to see Silmeria, so it's got to be Lenneth. The helmet reminded me of how much I love Valkyrie Profile ^^

  7. updates are great
    but a little less vanilla stuff and more speciality for the girls would be great
    for example kasumi's special to get a certain ending
    we need some ana* queens :D
    an idea for Riesz where she can get your slave to love tentacles as an assitant would be great too
    i would love to see some of the more gameplay relevant promises made come true than some trivial changes to layout :D
    still big fan of this awesome game

  8. Will the new beta have completely new files to download, like version 3.2.6 I think. Also, would it contain all of the slaves/assistants that have been created thus far?

  10. Awesomeness. Keep up the good work.

    By the way, does your clothing system contemplates the likes of scars/tattoos? Which could be enchanted/have meanings?

  12. If you lend your girl to the low-class prostitute, when your slave is working, you lose all your money.

    Is this meant to happen?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No, if something is meant to happen there is text explaining.

      Most likely this is a corruption in your save game, and unlikely to be a bug in the game. Check the help in the load/save screen, and most notably the flash storage limits

  13. Hey Cmac, thanks for this ongoing game...

    I noticed one problem with the new assistants (although it could be something I did wrong with the loading)... I cannot see any of the new assistants (there are no pics)... I put all the pics in the image folder, but for some reason they are not visible when I play the game (not in the assistant selection page or in any actions they do)... I can see the text for all this, however... Do I need to have a minor slave folder for the assistants??? I can see the older assistants (like Shampoo, Brain Slug, etc.)...

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Not too clear why you do not see them. There is something out in your folder setup somewhere. Are you running version 3.2.06?

      Delete
    2. Hey Cmac,

      Thanks for your quick response... Yes, it is version 3.2.06 that I am running... Some of the files may be in the wrong location, but I am unsure what needs to be where... I will wait for the new version of this game and reload from zero... Thanks for the help and thanks for the game...

      I had one other comment... I noticed that when you take a walk in the Palace with your slave, it gives you the gloryhole event... If you keep doing it, it eventually comes back (after you have opened the Lily bar, of course)... When you redo the gloryhole event, at the end of the text it says "Sex skills +1 : current level 2, 3, 4, etc."... Does this skill do anything or is it in progress??? I did not see any sign of this skill in the slavemaker's skills...

      Toodles,
      Kremey

      Delete
    3. The Lily event is a third party event called 'SM Encounter' and these messages are from that event. They relate to internal skills in that event itself.

  16. How do you get UploadMirrors to work? Every time I try to download something from there, they try to get me to download something else completely and I can't get my file. I'm looking forward to the new release, I just hope I can get it!

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. UploadMirrors work just fine for me, I have never seen such an issue. Have you tried a couple of the listed mirrors?

      Delete
    2. I click the links in the blog posts and it tries to download something different. I tried to use the UploadMirrors link to get Katara when she was released but it wanted me to download some downloader program.

      Delete
    3. Oh boy, in that case you're either too green or too stupid to use downloading sites. But, since i'm a nice guy, here is the solution:
      Click the link
      Click the [download]-button right of the [verzend.be]-button
      Wait until a small, grey button appears, named download file
      Click it
      Enjoy

      Also some general advice:
      RULE 1: DON'T CLICK THE BRIGHT AND FLASHY DOWNLOAD BUTTONS. They are just there to trick you into downloading other stuff, which propably also costs money.
      RULE 2: Scroll around the page for a bit, looking for hyperlinks, which, when hovered over with the mouse display a link that includes at least some parts of the file name.

      Delete
    4. The waut uploadmirrors works is the link will open a window giving a choice of filehosts, then just pick one and click. This then opens a window for that host and will allow you to download the file, Just use the free version of the downloads, no need to register or download anything else in most cases. If it requires you to download adownloader type program, then use a different host.

      Delete
    5. I just clicked the link from the blog with the Katara release again, and all I get is a screen with the file information and an advertisement, no button to click on. Is there something wrong with that particular link, or am I just really really bad at UploadMirrors?

      Delete
    6. Katara only has 2 links at this time, Express Files and Rapidshare. Express Files requires you to download and install a downloader.

      Rapidshare works fine with no issues (I just redownloaded her)

      Delete
    7. also: reasonably good odds that its' opening a popup window with the add in it over the top of the window/tab the actual file download is in. might want to make sure that's not what's thwarting you.

  17. I'm having trouble with getting Kasumi to Cumslut.
    The training on her 2nd info page will say 100/100 but the dialog for her to choose never comes up, even after waiting for weeks. My only exception on this is when my Slave maker is a Herm with Unusual Cum (although I don't play Herms that do not have the Unusual Cum perk). Are there extra factors involved that I'm not noticing? Or are other events out prioritizing the dialogue?

    1. No, it should happen. Not sure why not, I'll check

  18. Is the drop-down only going to list only those Slaves/Assistants available based on our current Reknown/Gold or will it show all choices including unavailable ones?

    Ideally I would like if it could sort the unavailable choices to the bottom of the dropdown list and append a "(Needs 40 Reknown)" sort of label after their name, but I am not sure if that is considered too much of a spoiler to show that sort of info in-game or if that is do-able in ActionScript without too much of a slowdown when that screen is loaded.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. No the drop down will not list unavailable slaves or assistants. It is meant as a shortcut, so I see no reason to add unavailable ones. They still list normally when you browse through the lists using the More button.

    1. There is no bug. There is a pre-requisite for the Naked skill to increase, you must do a number of Expose actios to familiarise your slave with being naked.

  21. Speaking of bugs: The one where you stay permanently as a hermaphrodite if you complete the tentacle monster quest line even though you select to go back to male fixed?

    I'm playing with that quest line half-way completed right now to avoid that problem.

    Where I can get loli minor or training slaves, if it possible?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I know of no complete loli slaves. There are a few minor slaves released at the futanari palace. I do not link to these and will not include them in official releases.

      Visit the forum if you want them.

      Delete
    2. You might want to check the child porn laws where you're at--I know that Canada and Germany don't allow even lolicon anime, I think Australia (where Cmac's at) doesn't either. Not sure about the rest of Europe, NZ, or Mexico, but that's one reason why there will never be a loli slave anywhere in any official release. Of course, you can always make your own with the SDK if you like (and lolicon is legal where you're at)...

      Sorry to be a buzzkill, but laws are laws and some places are stricter than others about their definition of kid porn...

      Delete
    3. Rulings in the past 5 years have illegalized loli cartoons in the U.S. This is unlikely to be prosecuted under an Obama administration, but I wouldn't want to do too much to chance it. You might be able to overturn it by taking it to the supreme court, but I certainly don't want to be the test case to have my name splattered everywhere for it.

  23. I've got 3 really quick questions (I think):

    1) Whenever I play the game it really really lags? Does anyone else have that problem or is it just me? And if it's me any suggestions?

    2) I downloaded the dating your slave event but can't get it to work. I didn't see any instructions for it either. Do I have to rename it or anything? I just put it as in the events folder

    3) I have a copy of CCleaner and while I want to keep it, it keeps deleting my save files. I've started saving duplicates and replacing the local folder whenever I play but is there anything else I can do to get it to stop deleting those (I've tried different setting but nothing works yet) or can I just get flash to save them somewhere else?

    Thanks!

    -K

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. 1) when you save it lags, do you mean it runs slow at times? Does it do so from the start, or after a while playing the game?

      2) should work, I'll recheck the install process, otherwise it will be in the 3.3 release. Note it is a simple event at this stage

      3) check the tab for other programs and uncheck the option for 'Macromedia Flash'. This will stop it deleteing save games

  24. Just a quick random suggestion, I was thinking of a new slave rule of "Talk in 3rd Person" -Reduces temperment by 1 per day. Just a thought, but it might be interesting if it could be implimented.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Do you mean by the rule that you never speak to the slave my their name, but instead only speak to your assistant or the slave
      'this slave will now..."

      Delete
    2. I think he means something akin to the gorean standard, whereby a slave does not refer to him or herself by name, but by "this one" or "the slave".

      Delete
    3. I think he means more along the lines of this: Slave A says "Slave A will now go walking in the Forest". The Slave will refer to themselves by name, instead of I or me.

      Another example would be this: "Anonymous is now going to hit Publish to send this comment in," instead of "I am now going to hit Publish to send this comment in."

      Delete
    4. Yes that is basically what I was suggesting. For example Shampoo in the Ranma 1/2 tv show generally spoke in the 3rd person. "Shampoo, loves Ranma!". Another example would be from the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan. One of the nations in that series kept slaves, who were forced to refer to themselves in the 3rd person in order to help them see themselves as objects, hence my suggestion that it reduce temperment by 1 per day. As you were saying cmacleod, this could translate to the slave referring to themselves like "this slave...". I mainly suggest this for players who prefer creating more docile, servile slaves.

      Delete
    5. Ideally this would also be something that would produce different conversations depending on the level of obedience.

      Obedience - 0, "Yea, whatever, 'Bulma' thinks you should shove that rule up your *!&."

      Obedience - 20, "Master, I, I mean, Bulma wishes to take a walk."

      Obedience - 100, "Master, Bulma is soooo horney!"

      But I realize that this level of detail is very unlikely as I know that programming just the basic rule in would take a lot of time. But I feel that this might add an interesting level of depth to the game.

      Delete
    6. And one final thought, there is no particular reason not to use both versions of 3rd person responces.

      "Kasumi loves her master!"
      "This slave loves to be tied up!"

      In fact the more I think about it, it would be more interesting if both were used. Assuming of course that you are both interested and willing to look into implementing it.

      Delete
    7. In general this is a nice idea, but a real pain to impelent. You would need to write alternate versions of all events/dialogue where the slave speaks to provide the alternate version.

      Nice, but as there is a lot of work involved, low priority to include in the game.

      Delete
    8. Although, you could do a fractured way, the same way Shampoo works, but altering the pronoun they use. This will produce some awkward terms and fractured sentences. Fine for Shampoo (Riesz too) but not for many slaves.

      Still it would work ok

      Delete
    9. I kinda figured that the amount of work would be a problem for this idea. I'd offer to help out, but my computer at home is busted. If I am able to get a new one, I'd be happy to lend a hand for this or other projects if you're interested.

      Delete
  25. One item I'd like to see added as a training tool for slaves is a Blindfold.

    The Blindfold would have a few affects:
    1) It would prevent the slave from being able to perform some jobs or actions (working at the Library just doesn't work if you can't see).

    2) It would be a small increase in Bondage training, a small increase in Obedience, and a larger decrease in Temperament.

    3) If Trust is low, then because of the heightened anxiety in the slave because they can't see, the Obedience requirements to perform night training actions would be higher then normal. Though at the same time, because they can't see they may be less picky about the gender of their partners.

    4) If the slaves Trust is high enough, the amount of training gained with each night action would be higher then normal as their nervousness would be gone and instead while not being able to see they'd be concentrating more on feeling and experiencing the sensations with their bodies.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Nah, chastity belts would be even more so, specially with add-ons...

      However, the system in itself is more important. What does really matter is being able to somehow add to the game an item to the slave/maker 's eyes with related effects. Then an independent developer could include the blindfold you want, if priorities in order allow for it, then a base one for the main game.

      A slot missing however would be bad. The ones I would (from the top of my head) include are: full body (almost full strictly speaking, for mantles and the like), hands, hands fingers, wrist, elbow, shoulder, neck, torso, breasts, nipples, waist, hips, navel, the two intimate areas, tights (for the likes of tight bands), legs, shin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shin_guard), ankles, feets, feets fingers. The head cold have items for, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, forehead (headbands) and "top" (or whatever you rather call it, for hoods/hats/helmets).

      Also, there could be layers for some so one could do the likes of rope shibari under normal clothes.

      Delete
    2. I think the first step would be to shift all items/weapons/armor/clothing into xml and deprecate SetDressDetails(...) in favor of a generic SetItemDetails(...) with 'dress' variable changed to 'item' and a 'type' variable added (0 for dress/clothes, 1 for uniforms, 2 for armor, 3 for weapons, 4 for items, etc). Maybe some more detail stuff added (a 'soldby' variable to indicate where/who sells it, maybe?).

      Then there could be support/functions added to set/use slot for items like you're mentioning (alternately, add 'type' options for those slots). After that, then I'd start to look at a system to do 'proper' layers.

      This would also mean that you could have armed and armored slaves, or Slutty Maid Leather Armor on your maker. ;)

  29. Just a suggestion, I'm wondering if the art could be a bit more centralized per slave. Not saying we need original art - but like for Kasumi lets say, I reckon the Saberfish CG sets could provide for most of whats required, hence minimizing the art style flopping all over the place.

    Granted some of the girls don't have as much art going for them and a single CG set might not provide completely everything required, especially with the expanding features and system, which of course are the priority of the game.

    Just throwing the idea out there.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. The Saberfish artwork is heavily censored and requires a lot of effort to decensor so not appropriate. Also they are sex heavy, with little for jobs, dresses, chores etc, just the sex usually.

      There is no one artist or set that meets all imsages, so really it is not possible mostly. Some girls have a much more standardised appearance (say Ranma, Belldandy) but still the art varies a lot

    9. It's just that an fictional character can have any age you claim it has. And as such, at least in my country, the law states that the image (drawn or not) merely needs to look under-aged to be considered illegal. And if illegal/inappropriate looking images decides what Cmac want do distribute with the core game... It's just that your answer made me curious of your point of view. =)

      I'll ask again just to clarify: Do you, Cmac, consider character age to be what defines a loli or is it how they look? Regardless of personal taste, does the issue mater into considering whether they would be bundled with the core game or not?

      Other then that I've lurked around long enough to know the general policy on loli slaves. Looking forward to seeing more of them myself. Can't wait to see Arumi finished. ^^

    also do you have an ETA for 3.3? not pushing or anything, just a guestimate (day, week, month, ext)

  33. A question for you..

    Have you considered making SM3 open source, allowing other people to improve upon the project?

    If not, then I understand quite well. Very few of my own projects have been open source. =) It's just frustrating to see bugs and wait for fixes when you have the knowledge to fix them yourself. =)

    1. Sorry no, too much effort to coordinate changes and the such.

      Any particular bugs you are referring to here?

      Delete
    2. A few, but I was several subversions behind, so I don't feel it best to report them, until I see if they still exist. Just got 3.2.06 and will check later, and report as available.

      And I certainly understand about the source. Coordinating changes is definitely a headache of the open source community, even with coordination sites available out there. Open source projects do grow exponentially faster than other projects, but they also have the additional downside of re-creating bugs that were formerly fixed, haha.

      There's never a perfect solution, sadly. But thank you for the swift reply. =)

  34. Will saves from the current version work with the new 3.3 version?

    1. Yes, but only for saves from 3.2.06, so it is best to get 3.2.06, load and save the game.

  35. @Cmac,

    Would it be possible to get a small icon identifier for the main slaves to signal which ones have complete stories, ones in work, and ones that are pure vanilla?

    e.g. Menace is complete, as Daisy has no intention of adding new content.
    Saeko Busujima is in work, as further improvements are planned.

    I ask because it is disappointing to start a slave or finish one only to find out that a new version, with potentially additional events gets released later. Just a suggestion.

    1. There's a vanilla icon being added in the next update. You can see it in the preview pictures. There isn't a WIP tag, that would be nice, but not nearly as important as the vanilla one is.

    2. i dunno, there's 'WIP' as in 'i'd like to add more stuff later' and then there's 'WIP' as in 'this doesn't actually work properly yet'... labels on the second one are kind of important. (the version of Rikku i have (not sure if there's a newer one) for example, has a unique stat that doesn't actually DO anything, while Misty has a Lot of actions where images just don't come up (not even the generic ones). and then there's Sakura, who may or may not have been updated, where a number of her unique actions don't work right (again, as of the version i have). things like that.)

    3. Actually, from the pictures, the 'vanilla' icon only appears on the assistants. The Slave picture is only of the earliest slaves, so there would be no opportunity to display the 'vanilla' tag.

    4. The vanilla icon shows for both slaves and assistants

  36. Is there a reason why a guild member gets none of the money from a slave's work to use, but a freelance does, but cannot bail out Yorima for example?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Yes, that is the design and difference between the two types of slave makers.

      A freelancer owns the alave personally thus all the money the slave earns is their property. A guild member trains a slave for another person and thus any money the slave earns belongs to that owner.

      Any issues for particular slaves with this are either design choices or bugs with those slaves. You should visit one of the forums and post a bug for the slave's designer.

  37. Is there an assistant maker? I'd really like to add something to this game (And I'd really want to avoid it being a vanilla thing)

    1. Do you mean a program that builds an Assistant, like the 'Slave Builder'?

    2. NarutoXD's XMLSlaveCreator is a tool to create xml slaves. It also allows creating assistants.
      http://uploadmirrors.com/download/0S7LJUDS/XMLSlaveCreator_0.rar

      But then again it is relatively simple to create an xml assistant, copy an existing one and rename, then edit.

      For the non-vanilla aspects this is still up to the developer, none of these tolls help, it is up to you to edit in the code as needed. Same applies for slaves as well.

    3. I just download it, by curiosity, and did not find the option for the Assistants. I only saw the ones for the slaves…

      Delete
    4. There is an assistant tab for creating that side, but it does appear to not create pure assistants, but you culd create a slave and delete all the slave bits.

  38. So, after making a lot of Assistants, I decided to take another challenge: Minor Slaves. Here is my first pack for them. (I don’t know if I’ll make more).

    Download Link: http://flashmirrors.com/files/dpa7nybkkzhkw5p/M.I.A.%20Minor%20Slaves.zip

    In the pack, you have: 4 Minor Slaves, with basic Slave stat boost effects, custom description and introductions. (Not the basic intro of ’You brought X and she talks about Y’). Those intros are made to give these minor slaves personality, or so I hope. The Minor Slaves are Leanne, Tana and Marcia, from the Fire Emblem video games series, plus Shizuru, from the anime My-HiME. Enjoy^^.

    1. Also, a while ago you had problems trying to translate minor slaves. I have recently found the issue, it is a bug in the core game and will be fixed in the 3.3 release

      Delete
    2. Nice and thanks you for the info. I'll be able to release a translation of them when version 3.3 comes out, with my Assistants v1.3 (a big upgrade, with a revised cost/effects system, plus the Renown requirement).
