Still Slow

Sorry, I had a horrible week last week with recurrent severe migranes. It was difficult to do much at all.

Fortunately better today, and I just then implemented Mesmerism abilities for Vampires and optionally (via an advantage) for other types of Slave Makers. Works mostly like the "Cock of Demonic Origin" morning power (with different text) . There is an additional event where you can influence a Nun if she refuses to allow your slave to work as an Acolyte. More such will be added when I think of places to use it. Also added to same 'event' options to bribe and to use your nobility (if you have it) to insist. All of these are dependent on Slave Maker stats to succeed.
EDIT: updated Mesmerism so if your assistant is a vampire then they can do it too

Fixed a couple of bugs and restructured a little code for the above.

I will try to release a new beta in the next few days

EDIT:
Finally posted a new Beta!

  1. CMac,

    That doesn't sound good at all. Another friend of Mine that has those refers to them as a "freight train in the brain". I do hope that it has passed?

    Plugging along with Lina, and still trying to get that Event for Holo completed. My Sent box is set to self-empty, and I don't even remember what I've sent you recently.
    If you have any questions, feel free to drop Me a note. And, as always, if you need help with anything, let Me know. :-)

  2. Cmac, have you seen a doctor lately? Nearly every time I see you post, you have bad health. I want to see a new full release done as much as the next guy but please have yourself looked at if you haven't already.

    1. Thank you, yes I am.

      Payment or the such os not much of an issue as there is a public health care in my country that mosly pays for doctor visits and subsidises or pays for other health needs. Of course I pay for it in taxes but I approve heartily!

  7. Constant migraines.....

    I've heard ways that you can get rid of them as there could be a number of factors. If pills like Excedrin don't work, it could be that your spine is out of alignment.

    If you've been in any car accidents in recent years, you could try seeing a chiropractor to see if you can get some adjustments done on your upper-back spinal area. They're usually cheaper than regular doctors and definitely cheaper than surgery. The downside is that you might need multiple visits to keep it aligned right.

    There's also acupuncture, which you can use to correct the nerves near the neck, which could also cause constant migraines. And various other things which you can use as an alternative to visiting some doctor in a clinic/hospital.

    1. Thanks for the advise. I have seen in the past a Physiotherapist to try to address migranes (no effect). A dentist suggested a correction to reduce tension in the jaw and maybe help (no effect). I have had botox (can work, did not for me). I have had Cat scans, tried eliminating foods, and many types of medication.

      My apologies I have no faith in the basis of acupuncture so I would not seek treatment in that way. As noted I have seen a physiotherapist, so a chiropractor would probably not help as they would of both treated similar possible causes..

    2. Migraines suck.

      I found out that I was allergic to some kinds of metal alloys, and that the stainless steel used in the back of watches can dissolve small amounts when you sweat. This caused me to brake out in hives, so I switched to a watch with a cloth band between me and the backer, and that's were the problem was. While I no longer got a reaction, apparently it was still doing it a lower amounts. A few years later I began getting Migraines and they were coming at accelerated rates. First one was probably a year to the second one, but as time went on I was down to about one a week. I don't remember how I found out about the watch, but I stopped waring it. I've not worn a watch in eight years, and now I only get a migraine, probably once every other month and under heavy stress.

      The only other thing I've done is been better about wearing sunglasses outdoors, or in other high UV light areas. I may look like a moron wearing sunglasses in the rain, but meh.

      Not sure if any of this is helpful to you, but if your to the point of trying those other things, any extra information might be handy.

    3. I'm usually the first to call most "alternative medicines" a scam, however, acupuncture has been shown to actually help beyond what a placebo can do in numerous studies. I personally doubt that it has anything to do with personal chakra's or energies of the bodies, but it can be surprisingly effective.

      I can give a personal story about how my Dad had a serious debilitating pain in his shoulder for over a year. He received numerous exams, medications, and even a surgery from the VA. Nothing helped, but he finally went to an acupuncturist and within a day his pain went away and he regained full motion with his arm. Since then he hasn't had a single problem with his arm. It's just a personal story and I'll be the first to admit that it won't work for everybody but worst case scenario you're out a hundred bucks or so.

      Migraines are one of the great mysteries of medicine, there can be five bazillion causes, no one knows why certain things affect different people, and sometimes the effects are just weird. Cure's also range from normal (aspirin) to bizarre (eating green chile and chocolate), and there seems to be no way to find out what will help or hurt you except experimentation.

    4. Only to confirm this point about acupuncture, years ago before playing a handball match I had pain in my knee and went to see the physiotherapist about it. I didn't see what he was doing since I was lying on the stomach, and only later he told me that he was sticking needles into my leg, but it really did work and I was able to play without any pain at all. Somehow my mind still refuses to believe that it worked, but apparently it did

      Delete
    5. If it is ok all, I do not want to discuss the effectiveness or otherwise of acupuncture. I have heard of studies and testimonial of it's effectiveness.

      Still for me, my skepiticism of it's theory will mean I will not seek it as a therapy. I mean no offesnse to those who practise it or use such therapies, everyone is welcome to seek treatment in any way they wish for themselves. I just do not choose to.

      Delete
    6. Well I suggested a chiropractor because my mom used to have the same problem with constant migraines, and for her it turned out that some of the nerves in her spine were out of alignment and a chiropractor made some adjustments in her upper back / lower neck, and that solved her problem.

      Getting those bones and muscles back into their proper place made it so there was less pressure on the nerves, which was the cause of her migraines in the first place. And yes, migraines can be caused from nerves in the neck, even the back, or from the nerves running along the spine.

      Most chiropractors cost less than regular doctors, which is why I suggested it, and you can usually get in pretty quickly. If you call and make an appointment, it shouldn't take more than a week to get in.

    7. Thanks for the suggestions, I do understand how effective a Chiropractor can be here but as I said I had been treated by a Physiotherapist so these therapies would of been similar enough that if the physiotherapy was ineffective then a chiropractor would probably not of been effective as well.

      Still I think for me the most likely causes are
      - a complication of diabetes
      - sleep problems always cause migranes for me

      Delete
    8. As a clinician, I am very happy to hear you sticking to science-based medicine and not taking part in the snake oil sales of acupuncture and chiropractors!

      Hope your health steadily improves cmac! My suggestion for you would be to find a new doctor, or get second-opinions, if you ever find yourself thinking "I wonder if there's more that could be done". Like every other profession, there's always going to be variability in training, interest, and the like. Sometimes it's good for a new pairs of eyes to look at a file and see if there's some new approach that could be taken.

      Again, good luck and I hope all the best!

    9. I would like to point out the chiropractic medicine is not necessarily 'selling snake oil'. One of my friends who is a chiro adjusts me regularly, which releaves a lot of the aches and pains I get from typing at a desk all day. He has also explained to me the pressure points in the face that cause your sinuses to flush, which is useful when you have a sinus headache, and has demonstrated a technique to relieve a baby's cholic.

      I don't know how acupuncture works, so I have no opinion on it, but I do know that chiropractic medicine works, and it works much MUCH better than popping pills or getting shots.

    10. I do not have any issue with Chiropractors but as I noted I had been to a Physiotherapist, so it seemed unnecessary to consult a Chiropractor.

  11. CMac,

    Have you had time to get at any of the stuff that I've sent? I even came across some new backgrounds that can be of use. I'll send them along after tweaking them a bit. I also posted a couple of things in the 3.3 DevThread on FP.

    1. Anon,

      The same way you would get a real woman pregnant. ;-) Actually, aside from Tentacle Spawns, I think that Maran is the only one that the Slaver can get pregnant. At least, that has been My experience within the game.

    2. There are problems in the version 3.3 releases, but using "Talk to Slaves" screen you should be able to impregnate any or all slaves.

      In general you cannot impregnate the current/main slave

    1. Cmac said several blog entries ago that he'd release updates when they're ready, depending on health issues, time for programming, etc., but that he's not able to give any kind of date or schedule as to when each update will be ready other than "when it's ready to go." He's also mentioned that he won't reply to "when will update X be ready?" because of this, so I'm taking the liberty of answering for him.
      Sorry if this is a hassle, but it's the best answer any of us can give.

  17. Will you, at some point in the future, make a ''Release post'' where we can download the *full* 'most recently updated version' of the game ?
    I mean, like you did for the V.3.3 (I think that was the last time such a post was made ?). There was also a 'torrent' option available back then.

    1. Not trying to sound ungrateful or anything, but I've also waited for something like this since...November. I would rather see a more recent update of the game than continued add-on features such as vampires and such. I appreciate what you do, big big big thanks, but I would appreciate it more if I could actually play that which you've worked so hard on.

      Delete
    2. Yes, I agree too. We are ready to wait a few months or even a couple of years for a more completed version. That way u can also work on the game depending upon your available time & health condition. Keep up the good work :)

    3. Version 3.4 is not complete yet. I am not happy yet with the number of remaining bugs, so I will not be releasing a full version until I complete the beta test.

      Until then see the latest release link at the top for a version 3.3.04

  19. Is anyone else having problems with this game on fullscreen mode? Whenever I make it full screen the game no longer tracks my mouse correctly. It thinks my cursor is about 2 inches away from where it is on my screen. This keeps me from pressing most useful buttons when in fullscreen. I can still play normally in the maximized windowed mode, but I prefer the game on fullscreen when available. Has anyone had this and fixed it?

    2. I was using the .exe version; .swf works fine, though. I've since stopped playing due to my game crashing when visiting the docks sometimes. It's likely due to some bugged event. I dunno if the error is in the .swf or not, I just decided to wait until the game is out of beta.

  20. I got an error in the game, Cora told me that my slave and main slave are pregnant and give birth in few day but then after that nothing happen, not even tentacle birth event. Pregnant statue just gone, and even nothing add to children or tentacle spawn stat. Anyone know how to fix it ?

    1. It depends on what version of the game you are using, The 3.4 betas fix all these issues, but if you do not want to try and get the associated bugs then sorry there is no particular solution.

      There are some bugs in that area for version 3.3, they do not always happen and if you have the "Relaistic Body Change" mod enabled they are a little worse, but that only an prevent the slave becoming pregnant in the first place

  27. I too suffer with migraines.
    Here a couple of things that have helped me over the years
    Reading glasses with a yellow tint to them. It does not however stop migraine totally, but the strain on the eye reduced.
    I also found that changing the contrast to my computer to dark back ground an lite coloured lettering. That really helped.
    Taking a break away form the computer helps with eye, neck an back strain.
    These are some idea you may wish to look into.
    P.S. Thanks for the all the hard work done on the game.

    1. Yeah, the only way would be to wait for the 3.4 full release. Cmac said it would be a couple of weeks, so probably wait a month or so before you waste your time downloading the Beta Version.

    1. Better that the developer just worked on the game itself, and that other people added slaves and such. That way it would be easier for Cmac and make things a lot faster. That´s the reason there is 3rd party release, for people who want specific slaves and such. Also, some more updates would be appreciated a lot :3
