Update 1/31

Yays. Also end of the month wooooooooo oooooooooo... Major Updates: - Pray is back in the game, more or less. The pew now defaults to the Reflect command, which will give you two choices. Depending on which choice you pick, you can develop a tendency towards religion (which unlocks the Pray option), or a tendency towards disrespecting religion (which unlocks the other option). This is all placeholder text for now, though, so don't expect anything great and terrible. Minor Updates: - The second floor of the mall now has a new item: the donation box. You can donate money for a morality boost (one or two points, depending on what you donate). However, if you're not interested in donating money, try showing up with the lockpicks in your inventory... - New testing item command: Strip Everything. It should removing all clothing, underwear, jewelry and gloves and put them in their proper containers. Note that this command can be used anywhere  and could potentially break the game. I a...

New Schedule

My sleep schedule is back to normal after two nights of general sleeplessness, so this means I'll be back to streaming normally. Of course, "normally" means something different now. My schedule at work changed, so I now work 4 hours on Tuesdays. While this is good for my bank account (I like having more money!), it's bad for my streaming schedule. So, in the interests of still actually getting work done, I'll be streaming Tuesday nights, and Thursdays at the normal time. I may transition to one update per week after the Thursday stream, so that the Tuesday stream can focus on smaller things and the updates can be more substantive. I may also be streaming randomly other nights of the week, but never more than two or three a week (including Tuesdays and Thursdays). And, as always, I will post notices when I start streaming. Plan for this week: Tuesday: Requested Stuff and some minor tweaks to gameplay. Thursday: More job stuff that I meant to do last week (going to ...

Eisenkern Heavy Trooper (Preview) 28-32mm miniatures

Image
I am pleased to introduce the Eisenkern Heavy Trooper. Shown here are the three variants. On the left, an anti-personnel or AA mount, nothing says suppressive fire like a quad S.A.W.   Center, is an assault specialist armed with a power sword and wearing the fluted commander’s helm and chest armor. To the right, a belt fed auto-cannon to deal with that armor problem. Quad mount front Quad mount rear Assault specialist front Assault specialist rear Auto-cannon front Auto-cannon rear Here is the optional helm for those that prefer a more unified WWII/Weird war feel. Here is an exploded view. Note the separate arms, head and shoulders… this will allow the modeler to use components from other miniatures to keep a cohesive look to their weapons, no matter what game they choose. Here is a scale comparison with a Sturmtruppen. Here is a scale comparison with another manufacturer’s sci-fi mini. Note: These will be very slightly taller than most 28mm scale at 33.5...

No Stream Today

I know, you're reading that title and you're all "what." Believe me, I would be upset, too, especially after the lackadaisical Tuesday stream. However, given that it is currently 5:36am, and I have not been able to sleep even a little bit, so much that at this point I've given up trying for a while, I think it's safe to say that I'm going to (hopefully) be sleeping most of the day. I'll still push out bug fixes today at some point, but no stream. Sorry.

Update 1/24

Motivation just up and disappeared. Sorry. But I did get some stuff done today, and I'll make it up on Thursday (or try to). Major Updates - Sister Sophia is complete until the Church events progress. - Changed the check for seducing nuns into sex. It's now a combination of Sex Skill and Deception Skill, added together, and divided by 2. Minor Updates - Set For Next Promotion on the testing item now has the Nude Model option available (only for Private Dancer path). Bug Fixes - The Get Dressed for Work command will now properly apply shoes. - The Get Dressed command will now put on the last gloves you wore. - The cashmere overcoat will now be removed before anything else happens when using the Get Dressed for Work command on the strip club locker.

Sneak peek of an Eisenkern Heavy Trooper

Image
Still a W.I.P. Here is one of three troopers for the "heavy" trooper class. The soldier is clad in full power armor and wielding a quad mount machine gun. On his back is an auto-loader system to reload his main weapon as well as a massive power supply for his armor. There will be three heavy troopers…. More to follow….   TGN has nominated the Leviathan Mortis and Crusader for best vehicle 2011. If you feel either of these should win, please head over and vote HERE

Update 1/19a

NOTE : "Emergency" bug fix. Forgot to flip the switch to let you see the stuff past the first day of the nude model job. New version is 1/19a. 6 goddamn hours later, and Nude Model is implemented (but not complete). And dammit, that list looks short as all hell... Major Updates - Nude Model job is now available and playable. There's some placeholder text for about 20% of the events because I just ran out of steam at about 5 and a half hours. Minor Updates - None that I can think of. Bug Fixes - Nun clothing can now be tailored as part of the Casual Clothes group (thought I did that already...) - Fixed a problem with clothes not being put on when you come back from the beach. Also, just as a note: Donations for the week are stuck at about $80. Just, you know, pointing it out.

Laughing My Ass Off

I would just like to say that I think it's hilarious that the "pray" controversy has sparked more debate and discussion than anything I've done in the last 7 months. Don't worry, it'll be back in the game at some point. I'm going to rework it, make it more variable, and give the player more choice.

Update 1/17

Starting feeling unwell. Had to stop. Major Updates - Sisters Sophia and Marie now have unique dialogue options. The other nuns will as well, but as I said above, I started feeling ill, so I couldn't finish. Sophie is 90% done, but her sex scenes aren't unique yet. Minor Updates - Removed the Weight Loss Powder. People simply were not getting that it doesn't actually work (like weight loss powders in real life!). Weight Gain Powder is still available though. - Disabled the Pray option temporarily  from the church pew. Apparently, some people don't like the religious implications. I will be adding it back later after I rework it some. Bug Fixes - Altered the Get Dressed command at the strip club. It will only put on articles of clothing that are in your locker, now. - Robot transformation wasn't progressing past the first stage. Problem was improperly nested if/then trees. Fixed it. - Player wasn't getting the option of using a condom during sex, and wasn't h...

Update 1/15, Bug Fixes

Donation goal for the week has been reset, woo. Bug Fixes - Nun outfit is now part of the Casual clothing group, and can be tailored. - Weird chemical resets every day after drinking it. - Sandals, strappy sandals, and strappy heels will now be worn properly when going home from the beach. - The Get Dressed command now puts on the floral print dress properly. Could Not Reproduce - The Get Dressed command puts on the purple belted dress as intended. Couldn't find a problem with it. Not A Bug - The nun outfit doesn't have a description. I haven't put one in yet.

Update 1/12

So much for that "updating throughout the day" thing... Major Updates - Robot transformation is now active. To initiate it, use the weird chemical from the lab. I'm sure it's buggy as hell, but that's what testing is for. - New location: Church. There are four rooms here, two of which are only accessible when you're wearing a certain piece of clothing. The church's purpose is mostly to raise morality, by praying, using the confessional, and attending services (Sundays). However, there is another purpose to the church, which has the opposite effect; following through will send your morality into a nose-dive. The church is not fully implemented, but the basic stuff is available. Minor Updates - Modified Get Dressed to take less time (and be more work for me, ugh). - New Item: Nun Outfit. This does not have a description on the clothing grid yet. The outfit cannot be worn to most locations, but you'll get a specific message when this is the case. Bug Fixe...

Long Stream Details

So the long stream is tomorrow. Twelve delightful hours of streaming. The plan is to begin around 10am EST. There will be a short break at about 7pm EST, as I have to pick up my wife from work, but until that counter reaches 12 hours (total), I'll be here. In this chair. Coding. Or playing games. But mostly coding. If it's anything like the last long stream I did, I'll slowly be going crazy around the 9 hour mark, so if that's all your interested in, tune in then. Also, remember that the stream is limited to 50 viewers, and I hit that cap within two hours last time, so get in early to guarantee a seat. As a personal favor to me, if you step away from watching the stream for an extended period of time, please let someone else take your spot. And if you have a question, but can't view the stream (and therefore can't hear me), please let me know so that I can answer your question properly.

Update 1/10

It wasn't long, but key updates! Major Updates - New item: chastity belt. This under-underwear item can be worn and removed when you're naked. Wearing it overnight will reduce your arousal by 10, and have the following effects: Slut -1 (if slut is not unlocked). If Slut = 0, Exhibitionist -1 (if exhibitionist is not unlocked). If Slut and Exhibitionist = 0, Proper +1. There is also an additional effect, but it's not currently in the game yet. Minor Updates - Transformations have been redone. They now work properly. In addition, if you progress along one transformation and then another becomes dominant, the newly dominant TF will override all your previous body changes. So you can't grow a cow tail and then progress along the cat TF with that cow tail: it'll eventually be overridden. Bug Fixes - Fixed the bug with the overcoat at the beach preventing the proper removal and wearing of clothing and swimsuits. - Underwear should now be properly worn when using the Get D...

So...about that late stream...

Stream will start later than usual today. I've got a guy coming by to fix my dishwasher, and I don't want to be streaming pseudo-porn when that happens. He was supposed to show in the morning...oh well... Today's stream might be shorter than usual as a result, but since the 12 hour stream is happening on Thursday, I'm not too worried about that. I was all ready to stream, but then the guy fixing my dishwasher showed up late (not his fault, I don't blame him), and then he can't fix the dishwasher right now, but he'll be back to do it later...but he doesn't know when. I can't really stream under these conditions! I'm going to stream for an hour or two tonight. Sorry about the problems. Again, because the long stream is happening Thursday, I'm not going to lose any actual time, but I was hoping to get more done. Oh well, life gets in the way of itself all the time, I suppose. Sorry again.

Update 1/6

Dunno why I decided to do this today, but I did. Bug Fixes: - Udder growth option didn't show up if the player has increased the Cow TF too quickly. --> Changed transformation options completely: whatever transformation is dominant will cause all changes at or below the current level. So if you're 40% cat, and then get to 50% cow, you'll see all the changes that get you up to 50% cow. This will prevent mix-and-matching parts, but since that's not really a long term goal anyway, it's not a big deal. This may cause problems, please inform me of any bugs. - Udder growth option will no longer show up every morning. - Get Dressed at the locker at the Strip Club fixed. This was actually a bug with the Strip Naked command, but I won't bore you with details. - The sweatsuit can no longer be put on over the waitress uniform. - Futa growth was unable to progress beyond juvenile. Fixed. - Tampons are no longer a permanent fix; you'll need a new one every day of your...

Update 1/5

Insert not-at-all-witty comment here. Major Updates - Baby interactions. They are completely optional right now (in that they don't affect anything), and reference items that are not in the game yet (crib). Once the endings are added in, your decisions on interacting with your baby will affect the baby's ending. Minor Updates - The "random growth spurts" event has been tweaked slightly to increase your maximum natural  height to 7' after the fifth or sixth event. This is permanent. Because platform shoes and boots can still increase your height, the new maximum for height is 7'6". - The "Special Outfit" can now be used for the secretary job and the hooker job, as long as it is in an appropriate shape (max fem and min inhibition for hooker, med inhibition or higher for secretary). - Appropriate clothes for the secretary job have been updated to include some maternity clothes (i.e. not the flirty or sexy maternity clothes), as well as the purple b...

Update 1/3

First update of the year! Major Updates - New Event: random growth spurts. This was a request. Basically, to activate, you have to hit maximum height (6'10"), and then keep trying to get taller (use the growth serum). First two extra doses don't do anything. Third dose locks in your height  (you cannot get shorter anymore. Ever.), and then the following doses do different things when you go for a walk or jogging with high arousal (90%, 75%, 50%). This includes a bad end that, as always, you can avoid. Minor Updates - Tampons now have to be used manually; there's a command on the box in the bathroom to do so. I'm seriously freaking hoping this stops the stupid period bugs. These bugs are going to kill me, I swear. Bug Fixes - Stripping at the strip club will now put your underwear into your locker, as it should. - Getting dressed for work while already dressed (again, at the stripper locker) will properly remove your current clothes, rather than putting on all your ...

Happy New Beer! I mean, Year!

A new year, sweet. 2011 was kind of crazy for me. Lots of stuff happened. Ah, but you don't care about that. What you care about is Cursed, and I can understand that. The game went from something in my head and not even close to half- finished to something quite massive and, evidently, enjoyable. And it still not done. The goal for this  year is to finish it, and I think I'm on track for that. Maybe sometime around September. We'll see. You'll notice the donation goal on the right has been reset to what it used to be. No more crazy donation goals, at least not for now. Just a pretty simple $100 a week. As before, you can request new stuff to be added to the game (if you want, you can just donate to support as well), and when I reach the goal of $100, that means that the following week, I'll continue posting new versions. If I don't reach the goal for a week, the following week will have no new versions posted. A stream is planned for the regular time on Tuesday....
