Info + Harem

Futanari Palace still down, but I got a partial connection a little whle ago, so hopefully this means it is coming back up.

EDIT: checked the IRC channel for the palace earlier today and no information, just that it is down and no clue when it may be up again.

Side Task
In a little spare time I am working on an event for the game Flexible Survival. An odd language it is written in, and it will take quite a while for me to find time to sort it out. Still it is always nice to learn a new language, one of the fun things of being a programmer.

Interesting note: their forum just died too!

Harem
The game Harem, written by ker has has a new release 0.6b, a beta so expect some bugs. Still it is a fun game, if you have not tried it, well try it!

A link to the blog for the game is on the right side on my blog here.


Game Map

Here is a map of most of the walkable locations in the game, excluding slave specific places.

This was requested by NarutoXD for their XMLSlaveCreator program.

Futanari Palace is back

as the title says, the Futanari Palace is back up

It notes the site may be slow for a while as parts rebuild/reload

EDIT:
It's back down again!

Futanari Palace outage again

Just a quick note, I see the Futanari Palace has been down since yesterday. No idea why or when it will be back up.

EDIT:
anyone know what the problem with the Futanari Palace is? It is still down, please post a comment if you know what is wrong..
EDIT:
it appears to have been a major server hardware failure (ie the computer has crashed and cannot be repaired). I guess it is taking some time to source a replacement system and then restore the forum data.

Otherwise
Almost have got Puppygirl training working, but the game is still rather broken from my internal changes. Health still a bit rough....

Looking forward to my Christmas holidays, I will be visiting my family in my home city, I cannot afford to visit often.

Update for Princess Peach
There were a few bugs in the last release of Princess Peach where an ending failed to work. This fixes this and adds a few additional images for her. There is still a custom ending "Vine Princess" that has no text displayed but this appears to have been the case since her first release

ElPresidente's Items
ElPresidente has been modding the assistant Deedlit and also an unoffocial version of Ami (Sailor Mercury). See the forum for these releases.

He has also released an add-on for the game of additional weapons and armour to the Armoury
http://www.mediafire.com/download/hfoe4t5bs88cdyn/ElP_Items.rar

IMPORTANT: The game as of version 3.3.04 has a limitation of 32 weapons and 32 armours and this add-on exceeds that for weapons so some will not show. Version 3.3.05 will completely remove this linit.


Apologies
Please excuse some erratic responses both here and in the forums, especially my apologies to SimounRules (I appreciate everything you have sent and will email later)

My home lige has been complex and frustrating with issues of health, debt and family, so I have been having bursts of activity and then getting side tracked or unwell.

I hope things are starting to sort themselves out, and I am working throught some early alpha releases of version 3.3.05 with some kind testers. Still quite a few features incomplete but it it getting there.

Futanari Palace outage

People may of seen that the Futanari Palaces has been having problems. Their SSL server certificate has expired and it seems to be taking a while for them to sort this out, either finiancial or just some technical issue (probably technical)

So until resolved it seems the forum is offline, hopefully back soon.

UPDATE: the forum is back up


On some personal things, I did some work on the game this week,, mainly just bug fixing. Added some trivial thoings requested by developers.
A bit unwell still, missed a couple of days of work from it, not great today, but at least the weather is nice today.

Status

Sorry for a lack of activity, I have still have very variable health recently. Hay fever has been really bad this week too/

I have been working on the game a bit, debugging and some trivial features, but I have been slacking off a bit too I suppose.

Recently I have

• fixed a blank event at the secure slave pens
• added some more options for "intimacy" in the "Talk to Slaves" screen
• some additional speedups for starting a game

Note:
currently loading/saving a game is fairly slow. This is due to the idea that I wanted slaves/assistants created and available to be updated at all time.
This can mean events can enable/disable them and similar. But this can cause about 300 slaves being loaded and saved at a time.
I am going to undo part of this so assistants are only created once used. This will slow a screen down in the game but speed up load/saves for new games, I will try to retrofit this to old saves too.

Otherwise I am trying to get closer to a new release and will post when I am nearer

Status

Just a small update to let you know the current situation with the game.

I have been having some poor health recently and been working slowly on the game. It has been a bit up and down, I have been rather unwell this weekend, but was ok(ish) last week.

Meanwhile have been doing some small fixes

• I should have all the reported problems for Slave Maker avatar images fixed. That was a surprisingly complex fix
• some trivial fixes today where to "Waiting" animation did not appear correctly. Again an oddly complex fix
• I have a long term plan to convert the game interface to a widescreen main window, and slowly altering the background images used in the game to replace the existing 4x3 images with alternate 16x9 images

Now I am just running through a set of playthroughs to test the game and sort out problems (actually cooking dinner now, but you know what I mean)


New 3rd Party Content
I will repost later but

1. axmilli has released a new slave Quiistis from Final Fantasy VIII, she is currently a minor slave in the game and will be removed as a minor slave in the next release.
2. ElPresedente has released an expanded version of the assistant Deedlit from Record of Lodoss War. I must re-wach that sometime, and it's spinoff Rune Soldier Louie. The TV series version and Legend of Crystania OVA, maybe too, but I prefered the OVA and Louie. I also plan to rewatch El Hazard too...
3. ElPresedente has also released an alternate version of Sailor Mercury (Ami). The version released by Reggigas is the official version for the game and will be the version I bundle. Still, if you like, please check out this alternate version.
4. French and Russian translations have been updated a bit recently, An updated German one is promised too. I have also been sent an edited version of the game by someone who decompiled it to translate the pars of the game for Russian that were not yet possible
5. NarutoXD is working on a new version of his XMLSlaveBuilder program and it will support slaves, minor slaves, and assistants. Not ready yet though.

If you want them before I repost they are available at the Futanari Palace
