Just uploading the 5th iteration of the beta test. Finally found some of the more awkward errors to do with purchased slave availability and some sex selection issues.
I had one painful bug with showing slave images that took hours to sort out. A normal function (removeMovieClip) just did not work. After a lot of trial and error I eventually found that while a Button is very similar to a MovieClip and you can load it using AttachMovie, it is not quite the same and cannot be removed with removeMovieClip after attaching. I am unsure what would remove it. I had to duplicate a group of buttons and create movieclip versions, but it eventually worked. A huge pain.
Hopefully this version of the beta resolves most of the outstanding issues.
Still aiming for a weekend release, but depends of the testers feedback.
A few other teasers of changes in the game
a) I have upgraded some of Tifa's images, and yes she can be a ponygirl now, for an advanced slave maker. Also more images like lingerie, swimsuit that defaulted before.
b) Akane has a new milking/doctor fetish story
yes you can... actually iam more thrilling for seeing how much you changue this than looking froward to the game (and im a big fan) but i want to see how far the human brain can take us... give your best shot
ReplyDeleteInteresting changes you've made. What do you mean by advanced slave maker though? Ah, it's a teaser I guess, so you don't have to explain. I was just curious but I'm sure I'll find out sooner or later, right?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, see you on the weekend with your next report. :D
Maybe It'll have to do with the number of girls you've trained.
ReplyDeleteDude i am so freaking out right now.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see what the game looks like now!
And if i remember right its only a certain slave-maker type that can train her, but maybe you have to unlock it?
Advanced Slave Maker
ReplyDeleteas you train girls you get points to advance skill levels, so you require a certain skill at a certain level.
All slave makers could train Tifa, but you would have to focus a bit to do it (5 girls of training to get there)
Excellent ! :D
ReplyDeleteArgh.. when i saw a so long text i thought that you were going to do an open beta.
ReplyDeleteThis weekend won't come soon enough! Unlockables in the game will definitely spice up game play, especially because we are rewarded for playing more lol. I can't wait to get my hands on this game!
ReplyDeleteGreat work cmac! I can't wait for the release. Crush those bugs into powder guys!! ^_^
ReplyDeleteHere's a lame joke for you guys:
ReplyDeleteWhat is the different between cmac and an exterminator?
None, both take care of bugs.
ooo ponygirl Tifa! I'm shooting straight for her. Gonna make her my own personal chair...
ReplyDeleteLoving this idea about the need of a certain amount of levels to train a girl into a specific path. Replayability is going benefit a lot from this.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope testers won't slack off about bug hunt ;) looking forward to release within the weekend. Keep the nice work up, Cmac
So I'll have to train other girls before Tifa to gain enough experience as a SM before turning her into a ponygirl? Or am I allowed to train Tifa first then make her into a ponygirl later once I get enough experience?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is you need to gain experience and/or to use the "pony master" background.
ReplyDeleteReMeDy
ReplyDeletethe standard is in the campaign you may only train a girl once, after all they are then delivered to their owner.
It is possible to add in retraining, but not in the first release of Slave Maker 3
There is a 'SandBox' mode where you may train girls over and over, but some campaign evenet do not happen in that mode
I am intrigued and wait with bated breath.
ReplyDeleteFor the love of god please be out this weekend ; ;
ReplyDeletefriday can be counted as weekend?
ReplyDelete@clef: No, weekend is Saturday and Sunday. I don't see him releasing it Saturday, however, so if it does come out this weekend it'll be Sunday, probably late Sunday night, possibly early Monday morning depending on where you live.
ReplyDeleteHowever, if a significant number of bugs are still present, which may or may not be probable seeing as I don't know the current state of the beta, it'll be next weekend. I'm not sure how deep cmac is going in his bug hunting, but if he's set on taking out every bug that may hinder someone's enjoyment of the game, he may decide to add another week to his testing regardless, just to make sure that the beta testers are able to go through multiple run throughs of the game without bugs popping in at points.
That's what I would do anyway, but I'm rather meticulous. :/
Well, I have things to keep me busy until it does come out, so it's not so bad. Once it does come out however... *grins evilly* Oh yes, I will be a very happy panda on the day this comes out...
ReplyDeleteFriday would be nice, since I go back to work on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI am not complaining mind you, I am just happy this is almost ready for release.
CMAC - You are a God in my book.
He sent out a 6th version of the beta so I think it's safe to assume that testing will continue for a few more days at least.

ReplyDeleteCmac, do you need any help with any of the text in the game? I've written erotica in the past for a couple of different sources and I wouldn't mind lending a hand if you need any assistance, just send me an e-mail or contact me on my Futanari account.
