Requested Features and Clarifications

I've updated the requested features page. New requests are underlined. Note that, while I still have requests outstanding from the last update, that doesn't mean they're not getting in the game. I generally wait until I'm working on the point at which they would be added to work on them. As for clarifications, the new Style system is not for hair. That'll be tomorrow. The style system is basically a bonus system if you manage to get your looks to match a particular style. The current styles available are Tomboy, Party Girl, Femme Fatale, Goth and Bimbo, and I'll be adding more as I think of them (or they're suggested). But you need to meet the "tolerances". For example, goths wear black; if you're not wearing black, you're not going to get the Goth style. But there are other requirements as well. I'll put in the hint system before too long.

Update 10/31

And we're back on track. Took longer than I wanted, but I started late, so whatcha gonna do. Also, Happy Halloween. I dressed up as a stressed journalist named Dick Justice. Major Updates - Style system implemented. There are currently five possible styles available, and getting them provides bonuses to Natural Charisma (once), Non-Natural Charisma (always), and sometimes a skill or trait (once). Hopefully, I'll be able to come up with more eventually. Minor Updates - Slob trait will now, as long as you're not going to be dirty, reduce by 1 point every day (i.e. if you've done something that requires showering, but don't shower, you will not lower your Slob trait). Unless you have the Slob trait, which is permanent once unlocked. Oh, and because of this change, Slob is now  much  easier to unlock (15 points instead of 40). Bug Fixes - If Maria is around, you will not have morning sickness, if pregnant. - All the problems caused by the sweatsuit and sports bra being ...

New computer!

Yup, it's up, and it's working. Now to hook up my other hard drives and get everything back to normal...ish.

New computer! But not...

So I got my computer parts today, put them together, and the system turns on, which is always a nice thing. Just one problem: the new motherboard I got doesn't have a Parallel ATA connector, which isn't that big a deal. My old C: drive is PATA instead of SATA, but I can deal with that by getting a PCI card that adds a PATA port, and install the operating system on my fresh, new 160GB SATA drive. Just one problem. My DVD drive is a PATA drive. Which means the system, in BIOS, can't detect the drive, which means I can't install the operating system. Sigh. Nothing can ever be easy, can it? It's too late tonight to keep messing with it, but I've already come up with a workaround (mostly involving another computer), so, unless something completely ridiculous happens, which is still a possibility, I should be back to streaming on Monday, and it's about damn time (I'm losing my MIND!).

Delays! Yay!

Neweg is being a bunch of fuckers. Apparently, the fact that I'm shipping the parts to an address OTHER than my billing address means three DAYS of delay between them taking my money, and them sending my parts. Don't know if I'm going to be able to get my computer back up and running by tomorrow. If they ship the parts today, then yes, and I've been told that they SHOULD be shipped today, but it's not a guarantee. So my computer may be out of commission all week, for fuck's sake. And all because I don't want $350 shipped to an apartment building. Gee, I can't imagine why I wouldn't want all that expensive computer stuff sitting outside my door for several hours while I'm at work. Can't imagine at all . So, I apologize, it looks like this is going to take longer than I thought.

Impromptu Vacation

Well, I've ordered the parts, and had them shipped via next day delivery. So they could conceivably be here tomorrow, though I doubt it, but they will likely be here in time for Long Stream Thursday. Everything should be back to normal by then, fingers crossed. I guess we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I'm going to consider this a bit of a vacation. I realized earlier today that I've been working pretty much non-stop since June. Which means that, however unwanted this particular break is, I should probably take advantage of it while I can. I've gotten some interesting requests with donations in the last few days, so it should be interesting to see what I come up with when I get back. I'll work on updating the requests page tomorrow or Wednesday.

What the fuck.

My computer was working just fine last night, I played Fallout New Vegas until about 1 in the morning, noticed it took an inordinate amount of time to turn off, but didn't think anything of it. Now it won't turn on at all. Not even getting to POST. Monitor won't detect a signal and I have to turn off the power bar if I want to shut down the computer. Goddamn it. This challenge donation drive may turn into a "help Anonymous Man build a new computer" drive...I'll let you know. The problem is that the motherboard died. The power supply is fine, the hard drives are fine, and the graphics card is fine. Unfortunately that means I need to get a new mobo, cpu and memory. So, if you could find it in your heart to help me out with that, I would really appreciate it right now. I have the money to get the replacement parts regardless of what happens, but it is an expense I wasn't really expecting. The good news is that when I get the parts and set up my computer (hope...

Update 10/21

Yeah, okay, it's over. That's another week in the can. No major updates today. Minor Updates - New command on the closet: Get Dressed for Exercise. Using this command will automatically strip you naked and put on the sports bra (if available) and the sweatsuit. It will not change your last worn clothes, so you can still use Get Dressed to put your standard clothes on. Bug Fixes - Period bug fixed. Finally. Underwear will not be double-worn, and you can wear underwear during your period if you have tampons available. About damn time too. - The spiked collar and regular collar will go into the middle drawer when removed. - When removing clothes and underwear in the bathroom, they will be properly removed from your inventory and put it the proper container items. - Wearing just the sports bra will allow you to use the home exercise equipment without any kind of penalty. - Fixed a bug with random travel events when Induce Luck was active. Clarifications - I'm not going to add ...

Update 10/20 + The Challenge

Done for the day. I like these long days. I get a lot done. So here's the details on the challenge. You'll notice that the donation button has been changed to a new goal of $500. If I manage to reach that goal before the end of the year (as it represents the remainder of the donations for the year anyway), then I will reward the intarwebs with a 12 hour stream of coding, date to be determined. Now here's where it starts to get crazy. If I managed to reach double the goal, $1000, before the end of the year, I will reward the intarwebs with a 12 hour stream, and a twenty-four hour continuous stream (date to be determined). That is, I will start at 8 or 9 in the morning, and go until 8 or 9 the following morning. I can't guarantee it'll all be coding, but I will stream the whole time, non-stop (the stream will continue while I eat and such). In addition, normal donation incentives remain in place. So if you donate, you get to request something to be added to the game...

Update 10/19

Yeah, it was short, but I just wasn't feeling it. Major Updates - Import/Export re-added. Please note that I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to that feature, so it may work, it may work poorly, or it may not work at all. Use at your own risk (doesn't break anything during a playthrough, though). Minor Updates - The "Set For Next Promotion" action on the testing item works now. Somehow all the commands got deleted... Tomorrow will be the "all day" stream. Which isn't really all day, but much longer than my normal streams.

Some changes to the production miniatures.

Image
Looking around the web, the most common suggestions, complaints, what have you, is that the figure appears top heavy. Rightfully so, this is caused by the legs not being true to scale and the shoulders being too wide. The arms and shoulders need to clear the chest projections so that you can pose the figure, I can however make some changes to the arms and changes to the legs so that the figure has a much more “correct” form. After polling my project supporters, there was a strong consensus that we use the more “correctly” scaled miniature for the final production models. I would like to extend a heart-felt thank you to all the supporters that have graciously given to make this project a reality. Although we have met and exceeded to project goal, I would like to encourage you to take part in the project. The cost to manufacture the prototypes and make the molds has still not been fully paid for. The project will need to reach roughly $7300.00 to be in the black and completely self-sup...

Update 10/18

That did not go how I planned, but at least I got a lot of the important/annoying stuff out of the way. Edit : Forgot to activate the new testing item command. Re-uploaded the game at 3pm EST. No version # update. Major Updates - The tailor now has three options. These options are always available: you don't have to wait until you get the "clothes don't/barely fit" message anymore.    - Get Current Clothes Tailored: tailors only the clothes you are currently wearing. Costs $10.    - Get Clothing Group Tailored: tailors all clothes within a specific clothing group (slutty, professional, etc.). Costs $40    - Get All Clothes Tailored: tailors all your clothes. Costs $100 Minor Updates - The fight club event is now slightly more likely, and you will only encounter it once. - The hair color change event is now slightly less likely. - New testing function: Set For Next Promotion. Only works on the Eroticism career currently. Bug Fixes - The period bug has been ...

Plans for Tomorrow

I just figured I'd put this here rather than worrying about remembering it tomorrow. To Do - Add a feature to the testing item that sets player stats at the minimum required for the next job promotion. Note: this will cause problems with clothes not fitting, but you know what? Fuck it. - Change the tailor interaction to include the following: Tailor Current Clothes, Tailor Clothing Group, Tailor All Clothes. - Look into whether a one-time use timer can be run on the start of loading a save game to make sure that certain things have occurred as intended (computer programs that have been bought are loaded on the computer). - Buy Planescape Torment and Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura from GOG.com because someone specifically donated and requested that I do so.

Update 10/17

It's an update that, once again, is labeled incorrectly (10/15 instead of 10/17). But oh well. Lots of bug fixes and tweaks. Major Updates - More hooker options! Minor Updates - Wolf Howls event will now be different if you are infected and if you are a werewolf yourself. - Tweaked Fat loss from exercise (it's now slower). - You can no longer buy the "special" tea from the drug dealer until after you speak to Maria on Day 17 (the special tea increases fertility, which means you can become pregnant before your "plumping" is turned on, so to speak). Bug Fixes - Purple hair dye will now turn your hair purple instead of platinum. - Removed the possibility of seeing a random encounter on the way to the beach (there's no reason it should prevent you from automatically putting your swimsuit on, but it does for some reason...). - Getting hit by the big wave while swimming in a one-piece suit now properly advances time. - Jogging will now have you take a shower (...

Update 10/14

Writing sex scenes gets repetitive, man... Major Updates - More interactions in the Hooker job (sex! group sex!). Minor Updates - When doing any home exercise action that makes you sweat, as long as you don't have the slob trait, you will automatically move the bathroom and shower. - Going jogging will no longer change your Last Footwear to sneakers. Bug Fixes - Waitress job should be working again (I tweaked it without testing to see if it was broken, but it worked for me, so...) - Swimsuits are now properly removed when you come home from the beach. - Suntan lotion is properly considered when you're tanning. - Jogging using up time as intended. If, while you're playing as a hooker, you're not satisfied with the sex scenes that I skipped (can only write so many!), then do the following: 1) Write a replacement sex scene. 2) Write an email to anonymousmangames AT gmail DOT com 3) Paste that sex scene in there. 4) Get angry/happy when I reject/accept it and put it in the...

Update 10/13

Wow, that was long. I might do that again next week, though, as I feel I got a lot of stuff done. I mean, look at this changelog! Major Updates - The bulletin board now shows your performance towards the next promotion when you're an exotic/private dancer. - New Jobs! Hooker and Nude Model are now actually available as job promotions from the exotic and private dancer jobs (note: Nude Model is only available via Private Dancer). However, despite my best efforts, Nude Model is not implemented, so DO NOT take the job if you want to continue the game. Also, Hooker only has one type of interaction available for now. I'm simply too tired after 6 hours of coding to get it done. I'll try and finish/add to it tomorrow. Minor Updates - Tweak: when you elect to go jogging without wearing the appropriate clothes, you'll get a message stating that you put your sweatsuit on before you go jogging. This does not affect the Get Dressed command (the game will still remember the last ou...

Eisenkern Trooper Kickstarter Project and actual prototypes!

Image
Well folks, I need your help. If you enjoy my models and would like to see this product line launch, please head on over to Kickstarter and add your support to the project. If you're not familiar with the Kickstarter model, the way it works is you receive a reward for an accompanying pledge in support of my project. The more you pledge the better the rewards and the greater contribution you will make to this and future projects. Your positive participation will help a small independent company to grow and thrive and you gain the satisfaction of knowing you made this happen. And what you have been waiting for....Here are a few shots of the actual prototypes for the Kriegsmarine and Sturmtruppen soldiers. NEW PLASTIC STORMTROOPERS New plastic figures proportion change and scale change (above) nothing went untouched for the new plastic line, the size scale and proportions were refined on every component! These will be produced as lead free pewter miniatures. Project rewards you s...

Update 10/12

A new location ain't too shabby for an update, right? Major Updates - New location: the beach. You'll need a swimsuit to really do anything there, so... - New items: swimsuits can now be purchased. They never require tailoring, so rest easy. Minor Updates - The syringe of green liquid (growth hormone) now has different text if you use it when knowing the effect. - Due to overwhelming demand, I re-tweaked lactation. It's now actually easier than it used to be to get started on lactation, but I tweaked the levels a bit, so that it's just a bit harder to max out. Bug Fixes - You can now go jogging at the appropriate times, and only once per day. - Go for a walk now takes time, as was intended. - Buying the t-shirt and jeans doesn't degrade your body size anymore. Yays. Also, worth noting: the long-awaited long stream will be tomorrow. I'm going to try to start around 10-11am, and go until 5pm. We'll see how much I can get done in that time.

Update 10/11

I forgot to rename the file, so it's still 10/10. So...ignore that? Or delete your current 10/10 version. Major Updates - Two new commands at the front door: Go For A Walk and Go Jogging. Both have a heightened chance of random events, and both are also good for fitness building (go for a walk will only build fitness to 40, though). Induce Luck does affect your chances of random events with these, as well. - One new fight club fighter, Bullet. Minor Updates - Tweaked Lactation. It takes a lot longer to get milky breasts now. Blame the people in the stream. - Tweaked Fitness. It now acts more like a regular skill, in that it starts at 0 and builds to 100. However, unlike skills, it can go down , so you have to maintain it. Bug Fixes - The purple hair dye is now in the pharmacy (whoops). I started work on a new location, but unfortunately, didn't have the time to finish it. Hopefully, you'll be able to get there tomorrow.

Update 10/10

I hate repetitive events. Major Updates - Two new fighters in the fight club. Minor Updates - Tweaked the chances of running into a random encounter. Note that the first person that complains that they are now too frequent...I will chop your head off. - Purple hair is now available in dye form and from random events. Bug Fixes - Pregnancy test should now work properly (human pregnancies only). - I know I fixed some other stuff, but I can't remember what.

Stream Delayed

Got some real life issues happening this morning, but I'm hoping to start around noon (two hours later than normal). I'll be back to normal streaming tomorrow, promise. Things that were requested via donations: - Purple Hair (easy, let's do that today!) - Problems due to big breasts (or other body shapes) - Puppy Girl TF (the donator requested either dog-like actions, or a dog transformation, and I'm debating which one I want to do). - Visit Strip Club as a customer (planned!) - Hair styles , as opposed to just color and length. Also, a way for Genevieve to give you a random makeover.

Update 10/7

Unfortunately, the same old tune: never as much done as I wanted to get done. Major Updates - You can now fight at the fight club. There's only one opponent right now, but adding more shouldn't take too much time. Minor Updates - Some new items have been added (and some are tied to getting certain sexual traits). They're not yet useable, so they're more like sneak peaks at what's coming than actual full-fledged items. Bug Fixes - You now have to actually pay for ice cream. - Lip balm will now swell your lips as intended.

Okay, Seriously, Stop Donating

Once again, you people have exceeded all possible expectations. And then you went and did it again . At this point, I'm good for donations through the third week of November . And, like, half of the next week. I don't want any more of your money! I really do appreciate all of your support. If you still want to donate to request something, I'm not going to stop you, but if you're wondering if you've donated enough to support the game, well, stop wondering. Mission accomplished . Plenty of good ideas submitted, though. If you've donated and haven't requested something, please do, so I don't feel like a beggar. In the meantime, I'll be back to normal streaming tomorrow. And it will be glorious. Or run-of-the-mill. You know, either way. I'm sure it'll be fun.

No Stream Today

Just in case you missed the message, no stream today. Gots to work at my real life job (almost called it my actual job, but this is a job too, and I like it a lot more than my real life job!). I may or may not stream tonight, but I'll definitely be back tomorrow.

Have I Mentioned How Awesome You People Are?

Thanks to generous donations, I've reached the goal for the month in less than 24 hours. In thanks for all your support, I'm going to do an extra long stream next Thursday (that would be the 13th). I'm going to hopefully spend the next few days coming up with stuff that I can actually work on. If you have anything in particular that you'd like me to work on, leave a comment and I'll see what I can do. And to reiterate: you people are fucking awesome. Thanks.

Update 10/5

Please don't forget to read  this post. Major Updates - New random event enables a new location: Abandoned Warehouse, the location of the city's illicit fight club. You can only go there once, currently, but I'll add to it some more next time, so you can fight different fighters for bonuses like cash. Minor Updates - The thighmaster no longer changes your fitness or burns fat. It's strictly for shaping your butt (hence why it doesn't consume time to use it). It also works to push your butt towards "pert, heart-shaped", instead of just slimming it down, because that didn't make much sense. - Novice Stripper, Stripper, Exotic Dancer, and Private Dancer will now lose a little fat from working. - Renamed the file from Cursed Rebuild to just Cursed. Not at all important to anyone but me, I'm sure. Bug Fixes - Lip balm can now be applied, and wears off properly as well. - Ballroom dancing now shows proper descriptions of the action. - Weight limits have...

Fucking Hackers

While at my (real life) job today, I suddenly received an email stating that I had successfully purchased a total of 10,000 Xbox points. Needless to say, this was troubling as a) I was at work, and b) I haven't bought Xbox points in months. Turns out someone has apparently managed to take control of my Xbox Live account, and used the ill-gotten points to purchase some sports packs for some bullshit EA Sports game. I contacted my bank and Xbox to get the charges reversed, and in both cases, it'll take time. Like, two weeks minimum if I'm lucky, and three to four weeks otherwise. In the meantime, thanks to overdraft charges (because I tend to keep my personal bank account pretty low), I'm in the red  by two hundred and twenty dollars. Fucking hackers. I've updated the donation goal on the left to reflect the fact that I'm kind of desperately in need of cash right now. Because I'm still not a greedy bastard, I'm going to call this the monthly donation goal...

Update 10/4

Actual Stuff! Major Updates - The dance studio is now a bit more fleshed out, with the option of four different dance classes. They all cost the same price, but can have slightly different effects. Also of note: you can only use the dance class once per day. More than that would be game-breaking. Minor Updates - Hips, butt and lips shape will now gravitate towards maintaining their current state at the end of the day. Still pretty easy to overcome if you're looking for a specific look, but once you're there, it's slightly easier to maintain that particular look. Bug Fixes - Lip balm now properly wears off after two time periods, allowing you to re-apply it. - Thighmaster added to the furniture store (I couldn't find a better place for it). - Succubus transformation no longer boosts your inhibitions to 10 if they're lower than that. - Fixed an (apparently) unnoticed error with the lip, hip and butt shape scales.

Update 10/3

First update of October. Sweet. Major Updates - Your hip shape, butt shape, and lip shape can now change. Note that all three of these will naturally gravitate towards "neutral" values over time; for example, butt shape will slowly change to normal sized, assuming you don't influence yourself, whether it's smaller or bigger. Minor Updates - New items, mostly to influence your body shape. Lip balm for lips, thighmaster for butts, and the inflatable dildo for hips. Some actions have also been changed to influence these variables as well (for example, sit on your butt all day watching TV, and you might notice it getting bigger). - Tweaked the fat burning protocol to burn fat twice as fast. Whether or not it stays this way is up for debate. - New action at the food court: buy ice cream. Bug Fixes - The CT_SETVARIABLE error has been fixed. Rejoice. Known Bugs - The new items either don't go to the right places or aren't in the game. Whoops! Also, I have been terrib...

Character Sheets

Started to do some planning for characters (i.e. persistent NPCs rather than ONS characters) that the player can romance, and realized that I need to do something else first. So, I came up with character sheets in about ten minutes. Here's a blank one just so you can see how things are planned. Note that I am not asking for new characters, I just want you to see how detailed I'm planning on making things. Name:                                           Nationality: Age:                                              Birthday: Hair: (Color and Length)  ...

Weekend Nonsense

Just a quick post to let people know a few things. Known Bugs and Issues - There is a problem that causes RAGS to throw an error regarding CT_VARIABLE. Most likely I missed a variable call somewhere when decoupling fitness from weight. - The new player description refers to eye color as brown, even when your eyes can be different colors due to transformation. - When loading a save from version 9/29 to 9/30, weight goes from whatever to obese. This is because of the changes made to the fitness system: you can be fit but fat. If your fitness in 9/29 was 100, your weight in 9/30 is still 0, because you haven't used that variable before. - Gaining weight (rather, going lower on the weight scale) is a little too fast. Need to tweak it. - Couple of bugs regarding the succubus transformation, namely minimum arousal and lowering inhibitions. Also, please note that, while I understand that bugs are frustrating and annoying, keep your language clean in the comments. Unnecessary use of curse ...
