Update 11/29

UUUUUUUUUUUUUUGHHHHHHH ! Six hours to implement ONE FUCKING THING. Major Updates - Remember that special outfit you can get as a reward for finishing the first mission? It's available now. Changes every day based on morality (color), femininity (type of outfit), and inhibitions (conservative vs. provocative). It has a unique description for each of the 16 variations, and each of the types of underwear you can wear. For math geeks that don't like to do math, that's 144 descriptions. To say that this took forever does not convey the mind-numbing drudgery . And the worst part is, most people will take magic and never see it . I hate you people. And the special outfit still isn't done . Each of the sixteen variations will have unique, once-per-day effects. I'll probably leave that until next week, though, lest I kill myself . Minor Updates - The umbrella and raincoat are now toggles, as in, you can toggle their use on and off. Simple reason for that: going out unprotect...

Goddammit.

Going to try to do a stream tonight. Not sure when it'll start, but I'm aiming for about 10pm EST, see if I can go for a couple of hours. Stream is up. I was  working on implementing the Special Outfit again, after RAGS crashed and ate all the work last Tuesday. Then, after an hour and a half, during a routine "open array" operation...it crashed again. And I wasn't judiciously saving. I hate my life sometimes. Also, on the weirdness news report, my wife of all people says that I should seriously consider putting anal into the game. It's moments like this that give me pause, and make me examine my life and realize how weird it is sometimes...

Update 11/25 And Donations

Look, an update! Major Updates - Britney's first interaction has been added to the second mission (note: the second mission has TWO possibilities, depending on whether or not you managed to successfully seduce the blonde girl in the intro. If you skip the intro, you DO NOT get credit for seducing her) Currently, I'm working on the "blonde girl" leg of the second mission, so if you don't meet the conditions (if you get the mission to kidnap someone), then you won't meet Britney.   Also of note: Britney is currently planned to be "relationship lite", so when she's done, you'll be able to see some of the features that will be in the relationship system (not yet though). Minor Updates - Shuffled some stuff around behind the scenes to streamline a couple of things. Bug Fixes - Styles now properly apply when you leave the house without shoes on: the game will put the shoes on first, and then check for style requirements. Donations have been slackin...

Update 11/22

There was some additional stuff done, but then RAGS crashed, and I lost an hour of work. Major Updates - Nothing. Sucks. Minor Updates - Random events now have a "lock out" period, so that you shouldn't encounter the same event twice in a row. In theory; now that I think about it, I think I coded in the priority incorrectly, so I might have to adjust that tomorrow. Bug Fixes - ES clitoral ring is fixed. - I double-checked and tested the styles, and they are working, so no bug there.

Plans

There's no denying that this schedule change has completely thrown me off. I was used to working on Cursed everyday, little by little, and last week, that's not at all what happened. I'm still trying to get this all figured out, and I hope you can bear with me while I do so. I think what I'm going to do, or try to do anyway, is work on bug fixes and such on the days that I work (Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays), and work on adding new stuff on the days that I'm off (Tuesdays and Thursdays). Also, possibly, I might have some "surprise" streams on Saturday nights, but don't hold me to that. I know it's frustrating to not have as many updates as usual, but look at it this way: at least you don't have to start over with a new version as much. This week, though, is kind of screwed up, due to Thanksgiving. I'll still be streaming on Tuesday, but there won't be anything happening on Thursday. However, I'm off Friday, so I'll be doing a st...

Stream Done

Just waiting for my schedule to clear up, and then I'll stream for a while. Don't know how long, but I'm sure I can get some stuff done. Stream up. Bug fixes, some additional work. Turns out the bugs reported...weren't necessarily bugs. Nothing really done tonight, I got distracted by a triple-tag-team of Fenoxo, Luckster and PZero. I'll try and do some more work tomorrow. Note: No new version. I laid some groundwork, but nothing worth actually uploading.

Update 11/17

I'll be honest, I'm not entirely sure WHAT I've done today. Here's the stuff I do remember, though. Major Updates - On day 104, Maria will return with another mission. You will get to hear about it, but it's currently not possible to actually do it (that'll come later, these missions take time). VERY IMPORTANT NOTE : There are two  possible missions she can give you, depending on your actions in the introduction phase. - The Maria encounter will also reveal some new information about her , but you need to be paying attention... Minor Updates - Added a couple of new styles: Whore and Business Woman. Should be pretty easy to figure out what they are. Bug Fixes - Fixed the ES rings and the contacts so they can be worn properly. - Added in checks for all jewelry, so that you can't wear the same type at the same time. - Maria now properly objects if you try to name yourself Maria during the intro. - The hair styling box will not show up until you're a woman.

Update 11/15

Hooray! Major Updates - Kind of a bug fix, but it's major enough to me: clothing system changed so that I don't have to rely on layered wear, which seems to be broken. So you can no longer wear all of your clothes at once. - New trait: Nearsighted. Results from wearing glasses and contacts too much. Currently doesn't deliver on the promised penalties, but that's because I forgot that I haven't figured out how to implement that yet. Shouldn't be difficult, just have to parse it. - New trait: Nylon Fetish. Gives you a bonus if you're wearing nylons or sheer nylons (not implemented) and increases your arousal outside your apartment if you're not wearing them (implemented). Minor Updates - The Nudist, Nearsighted, and Nylon Fetish all show up on the Sex Traits and Normal Traits sections of the status. - Added in the socks, stockings and nylons. - New items: glasses, and colored contacts. - You can now change your eye color (currently an instantaneous change,...

Good news and bad news

Well, the good news is this: my work schedule has been adjusted so that I work fewer days of the week, but actually get more hours, so money is going to be less of an issue. The bad news is that, starting next week, I'm working during the day. Which might create some problems with the, er, continuity of daily streaming. I'm currently trying to figure out if I want to stream at night or what. The good part of the bad news is that I have Tuesdays and Thursdays off, which means I'll be able to stream on those days without trouble, and I'll probably turn Tuesday into a long stream day. I'll let you know more details as they develop, but for now, my next stream is scheduled for Tuesday, not Monday. Just a heads up. I am still going to be working on the game , so don't worry about that.

Update 11/11

Happy Veteran's Day to those in the United States, and Happy Remembrance Day to those in Canada (and other British Commonwealth countries). Though I don't think you're really supposed to wish people a happy day... Major Updates - New footwear: sandals. Three different kinds. The strappy versions will increase your charisma even if you're not very skilled with the type of heel (they are analogous to the short and tall heels for skill requirements). However, make sure you read the rest of the notes: they're not always a good idea. - New clothing: socks and stockings. Nylons and Sheer nylons increase non-natural charisma just by wearing them, while knee high socks, stockings and fishnet stockings require you to find the right footwear to get the bonus. Minor Updates - Cold and Warm days have an effect now. If you wear the cashmere overcoat on a Warm day, your arousal will go up slightly, as you get too hot. On cold days, if you're not wearing the cashmere overcoat,...

Skyrim!

Decided to follow Fenoxo's example and stream Skyrim for a while. Feel free to watch. That was actually a lot of fun. It's like playing with an audience. An audience that gets to laugh at me when I get bitch-slapped by trolls. I might do it again, possibly with different games (nice to know that a) my new computer rig can handle it, and b) I can get it working...eventually). Don't worry, though, back to Cursed work tomorrow.

Long Stream Time!

Well, things were going pretty well, until Livestream decided to quite literally crap out on me. I've opened a support ticket as quite literally nothing is making the stream work. Extremely annoying. However, I will do a longer than usual stream tomorrow to make up for it. If LS comes back up at some point, I'll try to get back into things. Bug Fixes - The Lactation Accident event will now fire as intended. - Tampons will now be properly used if needed and as long as you have some. - Nursing bra is now properly affected by the Strip Naked and Get Dressed commands, which means you shouldn't have any problems at the beach with it either. - Typos. Known and Unsolvable Errors - Clothing appears to have been glitched to hell by the update to 2.2.14.0. I've submitted a bug report so that it's hopefully corrected in the next engine update, but until it's fixed, you'll need to remove clothing and such to prevent wearing two similar outfits at the same time. I know t...

Problems Noted

There's been more than a few reports of clothing not working properly. I'll take a look at it first thing tomorrow. In the meantime, please make sure you're using RAGS version 2.2.14, and that you're not importing a save. There may be incompatibility issues between 2.2.10/11 and 2.2.14, and I can't fix those. If that doesn't resolve the problem, please leave a comment to let me know. Also, to anyone that has emailed me in the last...three weeks or so, I apologize for not replying. I will answer my email tomorrow morning as well.

Update 11/9

Note: RAGS engine updated to 2.2.14.0. Still available at the link on the right. Very short stream today. Feel awful. Gonna go play games until I feel better, pass out, or have to go to work. Major Updates - Nursing bra now available at the maternity store. You must be lactating in some degree to buy it. Wearing it will increase lactation (2 points per time period). - New event: Lactation Accident. If you are strongly lactating (lactation > 60), and have not milked, you will see this event occur any time you have a chance to see a random travel event. Two variations, one for wearing the nursing bra, and one for not. No other updates.

Whoops.

Forgot to mention, the game engine has been updated to 2.2.11.0. You can still find it at the link in the Games sidebar.

Update 11/8

Somewhat short stream today. There wasn't anything else I could add in the 25 minutes I had left after finishing the recliner. Major Updates - New skill books are available for purchase at the book store. These books cost $35, and can raise a skill by a maximum of 20 points. Each 2 point increase takes one time block. If you skill is greater than 75, the books are not at all helpful. - New item: Recliner. Once purchased, you can use the nap command, which will reduce your arousal due to relaxation, unless your arousal is over 65%, in which case you'll have a sexy dream and wake up more aroused than before. Minor Updates - Professional hair styles (given by Genevieve) will now "fall out" if you haven't purchased the item for that particular hair style, removing any bonuses. Example: if you get a professional pony tail, but don't own the hair elastic, at the end of the day, you will lose the 5 point bonus to non-natural charisma, and your hair style will revert ...

Only five days left on the Kickstarter project!

A huge THANK YOU! to all the project supporters. You can see the project HERE I sent the files off to have the masters made last week, so we could try to get a head start. We only have five days left on the project, if you would like to participate, your support is greatly appreciated. Although the project is funded, roughly $2000.00 will still be coming from my personal funds. I would need to reach roughly $7700 in total project pledges to be completely in the black. Thank you for looking and for your support! Mark Mondragon

Update 11/7

Request week* is just getting started! Major Updates - Two new pieces of jewelry at the jewelry store: ES nipple rings and ES clitoral ring. Minor Updates - The "Sit on Lap" event now has four possible variations, depending on whether you are heterosexual (or bi), or lesbian, and whether your arousal is greater than 50% or not. Bug Fixes - Rain should no longer remain constant once it starts. - Modified inhuman pregnancies so that they shouldn't lock you into a menstrual cycle phase. - Some typos. Reported Bugs - There's some reports of non-natural charisma doing some funky things. I checked a few of them out (fight club, piercings), but I can't see why they would be acting weird. Same idea as before with weird bugs: if you can reliably reproduce it, let me know what the steps are, otherwise, send me a "before" and "after" save game. * Request Week is the week where I fulfill a bunch of requests on my backlog, not the week where you request som...

What's on tap?

Tomorrow's stream may start late. I have an early dentist appointment. It shouldn't be too  late, but it could  be, so fairly warned be ye. As for the other thing, I spent some time going over the Requested Features list and figuring out how to implement some of the stuff I've been putting off. Here's what I've got planned for the rest of the week. - Nylon Fetish (plus nylons and socks) - More information and customization of Futanari - Multiple types of strength (muscle building versus muscle toning) - Athletic trait - Food court options - More variation for "Sit on Lap" as erotic waitress. - More eyewear (dovetails into customizable eye color) - Vibrating nipple and clitoral rings - More items for skill training - Browse porn option for computer - Recliner furniture item - Nursing bra - Nun outfit (this one ended up being a little more complicated than expected, because it needs to DO something, so I had to come up with something it could do) - Sandals (...

Emergency 11/5 Build

I forgot to activate a few things, notably the new weather clothing and the doctor's office. New version uploaded to take care of that. Also, please tell me how the weather system is working. You should not, for example, get rain or snow more than 3 days in a row. Raining for two days, then one day of sun, then two more days of rain is acceptable, but raining for 4 days is not . The way the system is set up, if it rained the day before, there's a greater chance of rain (and a slim chance of thunderstorm) the following day, followed by a severe decrease in the chance of rain the third day, and no  chance of rain the fourth day. Same thing with snow and blizzards. Only $100 away from the 12 hour challenge! SO EXCITING!

Update 11/4

Yays. Major Updates - Beginnings of the weather system. There's 4 possibly weather statuses, sunny, cloudy, rainy, and snowing, with variations for rain (thunderstorm) and snow (blizzard). There's various bonuses and penalties for going out with the right items in the right weather, but these items will NOT supercede any of your other choices (yet). The raincoat, for example, will currently be worn even if you're wearing the cashmere overcoat, eventually, you'll need to choose one or the other. Eventually, the items will toggle, so that you can choose to take them or not.   There's also a second set of weather "variations", which are windy, warm, average and cold. These currently have no effect, so those'll be next update. Minor Updates - New items for the weather system. For the most part, just having the item is enough for now. Eventually, it will be on a toggle, so that you can choose if you want to automatically wear something when going out. Note ...

Update 11/3

Stream over! Major Updates - Health system implemented. Generally speaking, things that are dangerous or unhealthy (like not eating, not eating enough , getting into a fight, etc) will make you unhealthy, and things that are healthy or good for you (exercise, eating right, etc) will make you healthy. The system will naturally gravitate towards healthy over time, but you can push it to extremes of unhealthyness and healthyness relatively easy. You get bonuses for being very healthy, and penalties for being unhealthy. (Hint: if you want to be a slut and screw everything with two legs, invest in vitamins) - New location: doctor's office. Only partially implemented right now, but the check-up will improve your health. Minor Updates - Actually from yesterday: the Style Magazine will give you hints on styles when read. The hint you get is randomly determined, so you may get the same one as before. - New items: vitamin C and multivitamins, for bonus health. Bug Fixes - Fixed the weirdness...

Update 11/2

So maybe it's a good thing that I didn't post the link to the update yesterday, since I was able to complete the hairstyle system today. Major Updates - Hairstyle system implemented. There's two versions: Professional and Amateur. Professional hairstyles (given by Genevieve) increase your Non-Natural Charisma by 5, decreasing by 1 point each day until it reaches zero. The Amateur version (when you make your hair up yourself) gives you a 2 point bonus to Non-Natural Charisma that lasts for 2 days, at which point it goes to zero. So the Amateur version is more consistent, but lasts less, and the Professional version is more effective and long-lasting, but less consistent and costs money. Choose wisely. Minor Updates - None, really. There WILL be two other systems for hairstyle implemented later, one where Genevieve gives you a random hairstyle and color for less money (you save money, but can't control what your hairstyle and color become), and one where, if you don't...

Update 11/1

I started early, I ended early. I'm looking into uploading a web version of the game. I'm just not sure how to do it yet. Major Updates - Hairstyles! Get your hair styled by Genevieve, rather than just getting it cut. Eventually (either tomorrow or Thursday) hair styles will grant temporary bonuses to Non-Natural Charisma, and there will be items so that you can style your hair yourself (for less bonus, but slightly longer effect). - New trait: Nudist. An upgrade of the Exhibitionist trait, which will increase your arousal when you switch time blocks based on how many different articles of clothing (underwear, clothes, and accessories) you're wearing. Sweatsuit and robe do not count as clothes. Minor Updates - None. Bug Fixes - None?
