Just a general update of me, the game etc

In General
It is horrible weather here, days near 40C for the last week, and we had a similar heat wave maybe 3 weeks ago.
My health has been a bit rough, from broken sleep as that causes issues for me. Money (or lack thereof) is problematic but manageable.

So I am in the proverbial interesting times recently


The Game
You will have seen a few release recently of edits for slaves, in some cases to do bug fixes/delayed updates. A couple more are pending, notably
  • Nami - the previous version was not publically released due to bestiality issues, but that has been fixed thanks to CampeonKid. The releases images still need work, to improve images like dresses etc. So a release will follow when time permits
  • Mai Shiraniu - a kind person had posted a while ago an update for her. I did not 100% agree with their image choices but they were largely good. I am working to combine and improve. I may also make her a 'gateway' slave to introduce/add a new "Topless" training, an intermediate between "Expose" and "Naked for the day"
  • Ranma - the long mentioned update is still pending, but at this time the new game release takes precendence
  • Arcueid - the assistant Arceuid will be upgraded to a full slave, where she becomes enslaved after being your assistant for a time
 NOTE:
Version 3.3.04 only supports 100 slaves (3.4 will allow many more) so some of the slave updates rearranged the number allocated to slaves. This means some of the SlaveGirlxx.txt files were renamed.

New Game Release
 The next release wil probably be version 3.4, I will release it in the foreseeable future, hopefully this month, depends on testing and real life issues.

It will include (amongst other things)
  • Puppy Girl Training
  • Slave Maker Avatar images can become a sort of template, and affect initial stats or items of the Slave Maker
  • More minor events, including multiple during training like Jobs, Schools, Chores
  • lots of bug fixes (and probably lots of new bugs)
  • Revised equipment screen in a tab type structure, now allowing many more slave items
  • a personality profile for slaves
  • when walking to locations the game now allows you to remember certain key locations you can visit at any time
  • a bit faster to play, load games etc
For developers
  • much more support for xml slaves/events
  • much better support for changing a slave from assistant to slave, slave to minor slave etc
  •  extensive class restructuring for actionscript slaves/events
  • generic shop class

  1. Sick again huh? That sucks. Now i'm no doctor but it seems to be an underlying problem rather than just "oh i'm getting sick a lot". Anyway I'm looking forward to 3.4, it's nice to see some focus on the slave maker rather than the slaves once in a while.

    1. Thanks, there is an underlying cause and I am in treatment.

    2. On behalf of all of us who follow your blog loyally, I'm glad to hear that you're in treatment, and hope it takes care of the problem. Get well soon!

  2. Looking forward to the 3.4 release. I'm a bit confused for the walking update. Could you give an example for this key locations feature?

    1. For example there are two shops at the moment, that once you have visited a few times you can then always visit again. When you walk to the location you will be asked if you want to go to x or wander around

  3. Did the FP have changed domain address? Because I can’t access it, even though the forums should be back up.

    1. I can access the forum and did a post late yesterday.

      Not much activity there so maybe there is something a little odd, but I can access it fine

  4. I hope you're up to your treatment soon as the game could not make the new slaves are appearing in their spaces after completing a certain number of slaves like 5 or 4 primary and after shampoo, yurika, akane and rei for example. sorry if still not well understood using gogle translator is not good at writing in English

    1. Are you talking about keeping slaves after training? Increase your Leadership stat to max.

      Leadership Level 1 = 1 Slave plus Shampoo.
      Leadership Level 2 = 4 Slaves plus Shampoo.
      Leadership Level 3 = 6 Slaves plus Shampoo.
      Leadership Level 4 = As many slaves as you want.

    2. I was referring to when he says that the game can have up to 100 is display them or take them into the folder because if slaves to display at the beginning of their training could do what he said above.

      Delete
    3. If you have more than 100 slaves in 3.3.04 then slave 101+ will not be shown

      Delete
  5. More minor events, including multiple during training like Jobs, Schools, Chores

    Thanks. I'm waiting this feature.
    Keek going and take care.

    1. I'm hoping that also means the Slavemaker can also do multiple tasks during the same time block.

      For example, most chores take 2 hours, but shops only take 1 hour. So you could have your slave do a 2-hour job and have the Slavemaker visit two shops during that time, such as the Armory and Slave Market.

    2. Not at this time, this not an easy change

  6. @MIA, the FP needs to re-propagate through the DNS after its maintenance. Give it time.

    Topless! Someone *was* listening to me! Thanks C.

    BTW, is it possible to expand on the shops? For devs to hook events into?

    1. Hmmm...

      Any correlation from the benefits of training Naru? I know that if you train her a certain way, it's possible to get a "nude" costume for all slaves, similar to clothing option given by the Exhibitionist advantage/disadvantage for the Slavemaker.

    2. Shops:
      I mean a developer using either actionscript or xml can add a shop to their event or slave, This is quite simple and involves adding jan xml node for the shop, its items and the such.

      Topless
      These should be a dependency where ideally until you get the topless training and thus Naked training then the "Naked dress" should not be learnable, but I am not sure. I would prefer to not require training Mai before Naru, BUT you can only get the "Naked Dress" if you make Naru go naked often.
      Maybe add a repuration dependency where Naru is harder to trian than Mai, or even a hard dependency where you cannot train Naru unti l Mai has been trained

    3. When I first read that slaves would be willing to go topless, I had the idea that maybe they'd accept being topless as a compromise if their loyalty, etc. aren't quite high enough for nudity but still within, say, 10-15 points below the requirement. I'd say it's 'realistic', but there's that internet meme about realism, anime, and catgirls... -_^

    4. I had not decided fully, but it seemed that just purely relying on obedience was a bit simple, the idea no matter how loay a person is to you, would they strip and walk around town for you? Depends on the person by all means, but the idea is to add a learning process for you to work out how to convince a reluctant person, even with the needed obedience.

    5. CMac,

      Would that not affect the "Expose Themself" Chore as well? As is is, I'm still wondering how naked can be a dress. Quick thought on the Loyalty thing; Average the sum of Obedience + Temperament. :-) That could be a usable compromise. You would have to work both stats at the same time, and temperament seems to go up pretty quickly at times.

      Also, how would I need to set up the Ilsen Badehus for access, as the building it is housed in on the map is part of the overlay for the Slave Market. The Vestmark Export Company compound is easier, since it isn't within the overlay for the Slums District. I did a slight edit on the map to add a curtain wall circling from the Prison and reaching around it to the first quay. I'll send it along shortly.

  8. Sad to hear about your problems and wishing you all the best.

    I recall reading somewhere about someone getting slave maker to work on android. Is this something your considering/considered?

    1. Slavemaker can run on any platform which runs java *provided* it has enough memory. For phones, the program can be stripped of much of the "toots and whistles" such as sound, as well as not loading in ALL the slaves, minors and assistants, but instead just a couple each.

      To help this goal, Cmac provides a Basic Game download with a basic pack of slaves.

    2. A guide for playing on Android has been posted both in the Futanari Palace and fenoxo forums, basically

      a) install flash player on your device
      b) play the game

    1. If the developer makes an update it will be included but so far nothing announced

  10. Thank you so much as someone who sucks at implementing single slaves this is the best news I have heard in ages. However don't push yourself the most important thing is your health and your own life first. Love the game to bits but the waiting is always worth it, thanks for doing what you do.

    1. Anon,

      Do you mean implementation as in training slaves, or creating them? If it is the latter, if you need assistance, just ask and I'm sure that you would find plenty of help. I can't code My way out of a wet paper bag, yet with the gracious efforts of the other Devs, I have one slave and one assistant in the mix. :-)

    2. That is most impressive, unfortunately I am just not that intelligent a person I try to follow intsructions which have been shown but they just never quite work right in the game when I implement them. However I am just being rude as long as Cmac is okay that is what matters, its just my enjoyment of the game makes me a little impatient. Thank you so much for offering but with a new release so close I will refrain from inquiring for help for now.

  11. Well its been too hot in here too. Sorry about your health tho, hope you get better soon.
    I'm looking forward to version 3.4, but i have a question. Will i lose my save game from the current version? Or can i keep it on the new version?

    1. You should be able to retain your save games (crosses fingers)

      Delete
    2. Anon,

      When in doubt, back-up the back-up. ;-) Look up the folder where the saved game lives, and save a copy elsewhere. That way, if something happens, start a new game, and copy it back into the folder.

    3. And back-up the current version of the game as well. Just.... copy it to another folder where you'll know where you'll find it, and not in the same directory where the game is now.

      One special case I'd like to make sure transfers over from one version to another, simply because I had problems with it in a previous update (the 3.3.04c update, if I remember right), is the training log. I remember the files and save data were there, but they weren't being read correctly by the game. (I looked at it through Notepad, which was full of jargon symbols, yet they were notably different in how they were formatted.) As such, any training log data from before the update was ignored by the game and didn't appear in the log, so it was basically a going-forward situation.

  12. no slave to pick when starting a new game

  13. Cmac, a while back at FP I suggested a change to make the assistant screen bigger, which generated some discussion, and you seemed somewhat ok with it. I don´t suppose it´ll be in this update, but is it something you would consider?
