How to Install or Update the Game

As I have not released a full version of the game since version 3.3.04c I have been getting queries from people on how to get a full version of the game.

Last Full Release
The last full release is in this post
http://slavemaker3.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/slave-maker-3304c-bug-fix-release.html

To Download and install use either

Torrent
Simplest solution is to download the full torrent using your choice of torrent client. The torrent should hopefully still be seeded. My apologies I am not due to development work I am doing.

To install
none required, but you may wish to move the downloaded folder elsewhere on you harddrive.

or

Download Packs
Download the packs from either the listed filehost links (like rapidshare) or from Love Robin's direct download (note a user name and passworkd is needed and is listed).

Download the following files
Basic Pack.rar
note: this is a fully functional version of the game with a few slaves and assistants

optional
Assistants Pack.rar
Minor Slaves Pack.rar
Events Pack.rar
Slaves Pack 1.rar
to
Slaves Pack 8.rar

To install

a) create a new folder, say Slave Maker.

b) Move or copy all the rar files into that folder.

c) extract all the rar files. DO NOT extract them into subfolders named for the rar files, just extract into the current folder.

I recommend using either WinRar or 7zip to extract the files.

d) this will have created a fully functional game in a subfolder Slave Maker 3.3

Note: if any extracts fail with corrupt files or crc errors you will have to redownload the rar file in question

To upgrade an existing installation
download the latest update
http://slavemaker3.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/slave-maker-3304e-revision-3.html

To apply the update

a) copy the file into the game folder Slave Maker 3.3, or the folder containing SlaveMaker3.exe (in case you renamed the folder or moved it)

b) extract the archive, again DO NOT extract it into a subfolder, and overwrite any files when asked.

That is it you should have a fully playable game with the latest official patches.

Note: there are still bugs in the latest official version Sorry! I am work on another fix.

Slave Maker 3.3.04e (revision 3)

Update 3.3.04e (revision 3)

This is a fix for version 3.3.04e to correct a critical bug and a couple of small other bugs.

  • Fix people and places reverting to the start of game. People no longer available and so on. Caused by a typo in the load process
  • fix an xml typo that prevents some events working while walking
  • fix another xml typo that prevented a maid cafe image showing
  • fix an issue where some images in a few events did not show (say the meeting with Tena where she gives the strap-on)
  • a fix/improvement of purchasing minor slaves
  • fix strip tease images not showing for some slaves
There are no new features otherwise in this release,
EXCEPT
 I had not noted for the original 3.3.04e that the "Show Vanilla" checkbox when selecting slaves now also affects assistants. If you do not have it ticked then assistants classed as "vanilla" (ie little or no custom features) are not shown.

I have some reports of people seeing blank events or ones without text. In one case I believe this is caused by a bug with Aeris when you use her as an assistant.

NOTE: I have posted versions of this fix in comments in the previous post and at the futanari Palace. This one has some fixes not in those previous postings. So even if you downloaded the fix previously I recommend still downloading and installing the partial fix below.


Links - Complete Update Version

Full version including the full version 3.3.04e update. File is 480Mb. This can be used to update any version of the game from 3.3 onwards. Possibly it can update previous versions too, but no guarantee save games will work correctly.

Installation (full and partial)
Move the download rar file into your game installation and then extract it, overwriting files when prompted.

For the torrent just copy the files/folder in the Slave Maker 3.3 folder into your game installation.

EDIT
there is a bug I just noticed (and fixed) if you try loading an very old save game (before 3.3) then the game will hang loading the save.
 Also the load issue this update fixes is still present so a new fix is pending


and to repeat so it is not lost due to my bugs

Furry Brothel
A while ago Drekas99 released an event, the Furry Brothel and this has been included in recent releases of the game. There were some problems with the event, including language issues as Drekas99 is not a native english speaker I believe.

Chaos-X, the developer of Mariya, Kanako, Ringo, Mao in the game updated the event and rearranged it to produce a new version, one he has released as Open Source and has invited contributions.

This is Chaos-X's version (3Mb)

mirror
http://exoshare.com/download.php?uid=UZY8DS1F

will also be on Love Robin's filehost shortly.

Drekas99
I have not seen any posts or comments from you recently. I will not include Chaos-X's version in the game until I hear from yourself that you approve. Or if you fail to respond for a while.

Please let me know if this is acceptable. If I do not hear from you before the 3.3.05 release I will assume it is acceptabe to use Chaos-X's version of the event.

Version for download:
5.32.043 - β (minor bugs can be found)

|DropBox RAR
|DropBox ZIP
|Google Drive Folder
*GDrive folder is the most up-to-date (v. 5.32.046)

Others
 Updates for Ariel and Lightning were also released by they appear to just be xml fixes that I included in the last bugfix anyway.

If you want them please visit the Futanari Palace for the fixes. I will include them in the next full release of the game.

The vanilla version of Holo should have an update ready soon.


Game Status
Another bugfix 3.3.04e should be released soon, and correct a remaining pregnancy issue and a number of other bugs, and add some minor new features and events.

Assuming I add nothing signficant bugwise this will be the last of the 3.3.04 series and I will work on 3.3.05 release


Desired Game Features
At the Futanari Palace I have been asking people to let me know what new features people want to have me focus on developing in the game. If you wish to comment please visit the forum and post as well.

Otherwise the commonest requests have been
  • Complete backgrounds and events that are incomplete
  • More Lady Grey
  • more content for the Slave Maker, for instance things to do between training slaves
I will be using this feedback to prioritise what to work on for the game in the next release (and later releases too)

Slave Maker 3.3.04d Update Release

This is a new version of the game, primarily a bug fix release with some small new features.

My apologies for the delay and that the update is about 200Mb. The bulk of the update is the updated game and bug fixes for several slaves (100Mb is the slaves)

Note: this update can be used with any of the 3.3.04 releases you do not need the previous bugfix if you missed it

Bug Fixes
Actually there are a lot, a real lot, fixing issues from pregnancy, gay training, missing images and much much more.
Too much to really list meaningful and through the various betas I have lot track a bit. Almost all issues reported have been fixed so hopefully the game will play a bit cleaner now with less issues

Including
  • Several bug fixes for Riesz, and her dress images and imtes have been updated. Also hadjob and footjob images added
  • bug fixes for Shampoo, Ayanami Rei, Snow White
  • issues where some endings were impossible now
  • pregnancy issues
  • no images in Talk To Slaves
New Features
  • Chaos-X has added a new minor slave Eimota, a plump girl.
  • Minor slave Ringo (also from Chaos-X) has been updated.
  • starting sexualities for various minor slaves have been tweaked
  • about 10 new small events when walking, mainly lake, forest, but a few others elsewhere
  • a number of new features for developers (new xml variables and functions and improvements for custom contests)
  • additional images and text when meeting Lady Farun, courtesy of Chaos-X some linked to Mariya.
 At this time this is just an update release. a full version via torrent and packs will follow later. Note this version does not include the release for Holo.

Note: some images have moved from the folder
Images
to
Images/Events
so they may be duplicated after applying the update . If you want you can delete all image files from the Images folder EXCEPT
Bars.png
image001.gif
There is no need to do this as it will just save a few Mb of harddrive space.

There was also a bug reported for slave Tohsaka that would mean certain images will not show, I wil include this in the fix. Note it is a trivial typo in the xml, you can fix by changing a line from /Lick> to </Lick>

TheNightWalker just posted an update for Slave Heather

Small update (.swf only) :

http://exoshare.com/download.php?uid=11F6O8VY

This update fixes some minor bugs and adds a handful of new images.

I'm currently working on a major update that will offer more alternative Paths and more Custom Endings. If everything goes well, it will be released within a couple of weeks.

Star Trek: Into Darkness + Status

Short post and to the point:

Star Trek
I just saw the new Star Trek movie it was darned good! Lots of neat references to events from the series and movies, and good action scenes.
Better than the last one which was very good anyway.


Status
A new bug fix 3.3.04d should be released tomorrow, just fixed a last couple of the outstanding serious bugs. Added some more small features.

EDIT: as you may notice I did not release the update. I have had a cold slowing things down, should be released on the weekend
