It’s all YOUR fault!

Image
Here we have the assault squad finals, created with feedback by all of you. Changes from the originals: Widened stance on one of the leg sets. Ankle armor to better ground the mini Complete rework of the grenade launcher. Addition of a squad leader’s sword. Addition of an optional shield. Taking feedback and making changes to these, took me in directions I would never have gone by myself. The vote for the grenade launcher was pretty much unanimous, as a lover of auto-feed weapons; the cylinder design was not an avenue I would have ever explored. The sword design was so close that I needed to make the call, #1 and #2 were tied, so I stayed with what I had. The only acceptation was the addition of a squad commander’s sword to set him apart from his squad. I would never have mated these with a shield but the folks on Dakka were pretty persistent and I am happy to oblige. This addition raised some interesting problems as the figures were not originally designed for the us

Re: New Jewelry and Bug Reports

Just an FYI, the new jewelry only shows up after you get the applicable piercing. So if you want the new gold/diamond upper ear studs, you need to have an upper ear piercing. I'm not sure if this is going to be a permanent thing, but it works for now. Also, if you've reported a bug in the last few weeks and you haven't seen it get fixed yet, please leave a comment in this post. Hell, if you find a bug in the current version, leave a comment here. When leaving a comment, please be a precise as possible. For example, if it's a bug regarding a certain piece of clothing, I need to know the circumstances involved in reproducing the bug: what else you were wearing, where you where, what you were doing, etc. If I get bug reports and I can't actually reproduce them, I tend to write them off, so letting me know what steps to take to specifically reproduce the error is extremely helpful. Tomorrow is likely going to involve an hour or so of bug-crushed, depending on how many

Update 2/29 And Requested Features

There were a couple of bugs in the last version (2/28) that were preventing the new stuff from working properly. I fixed those. I also updated the Import/Export command to (hopefully) import and export sex and normal traits. It honestly should have been doing that before, but I think there was a bit of a glitch with Futanari. It also looks like it wasn't  adding to the Sexual Traits list. So I fixed that too. Also, because I like you people and I know you don't like low probability stuff, for this update only , if the inflatable dildo malfunctions, you will be specifically asked if you want to initiate the sex doll bad end. If you do, say yes and you'll be locked into it as if you hit that 1% probability. Say no to go about your business and move along. Finally, I updated the Requested Features page. Can you believe that I only got two  requests in the last two weeks? Wow. Not that I'm complaining, it means I get a good opportunity to catch up on things I've had pen

Update 2/28

So what did I get done over the weekend JUST for you people, because you're awesome? Fucking lots . Major Updates - There is a new (currently one-time) encounter available while swimming at the beach. This will be fleshed out over the coming weeks into...well, something interesting, I hope. - Multi-breasts are now available. Visit the doctor's office. Be kinky or in love with boobs. Ask for a breast enhancement. - New Styles: Socialite (you need to wear a lot of expensive stuff and get manis and pedis, and get your hair done), Librarian (think restrained), and Hot Librarian (as above, plus exhibitionist, big boobs and inappropriate heels). - Sex Doll TF: a very  low chance of occurring. Requires the inflatable dildo to malfunction (which is a 10% chance), and even then is only a 5% chance of occuring, as it will  lock you into a game ending situation if it happens. But there's two different endings there for anyone that wants to give it a shot. - New items: gold/diamond ear

I love you guys!

After receiving some great feedback here and on Dakka-Dakka , the general consensus, (two or more mentions of the same issue) so far seems to be. Make for easy weapon swaps: Will do…. I will make a few blank arms without weapons. Make all three helmets available as options for each figure: Yep, all three will be included with each mini, for both heavy weapon and assault minis. Energy heavy weapons need to be supported by free arm: I will rework this, I agree the left arm needs something to do   Some issues with the size or design of the shoulder pads: I probably won’t make huge changes to these, it’s a design decision that defines the minis silhouette but I think they could use some tweaking to make the minis less top heavy while maintaining a heavily armored look. Need to re-design the sword to more medieval two handed sword look: Easy fix… will do. I will show an option and you can give a thumbs up or down. Need to redesign the auto-grenade launcher to be m

Feedback from the Kickstarter project and a review of the minis.

Overall the feedback has been great. Comments like, "The best casts I have ever seen" and "The quality and design is excellent. It’s not often I get metal figures of this quality, nor ones that look relatively effortless to prepare for painting." Don’t get me wrong, there have been issues... the wrong left arms were sprued on tabs with the right arms.... I have replacement lefts in transit to me right now and will have those out to the Kickstarters ASAP. Overall I am very happy with them and it seems that despite the error with the arms, so are my customers. One of my customers, a very talented painter posted up a review.   DWARTIST’S PAINTING BLOG A big thank you, to my customers for all their support and understanding.

Preview of all ten heavy trooper miniatures

Image
Some of these you have seen, others are new. This is a preview of the complete line of Eisenkern heavy troopers, with some poorly written fluff :) I would like to encourage you to leave comments about these miniatures; this may be the last chance for changes or revisions. Anything you love, hate, or feel you would like to see.... please speak up. I will be starting another Kickstarter project to attempt to gain funding for these miniatures. I hope to see you there and will post here and on many of the gaming news sites when this becomes available. Here is the full squad of heavy weapons. The heavy trooper is encased in a protective layer of armor that simply shrugs off most small arms fire. On its surface, a thin layer of IRC (Iron ring carbon atoms) provides an immense level of protection. The similarity to their large cousins the Leviathans is striking. Augmented by the same mechanical musculature of the Leviathan, the armor provides vastly improved physical strength and resi

So What's In The Next Version, Then?

Granted, yesterday sucked, and my legs may never be the same (maybe I can get awesome bionic legs ), but that doesn't mean the game isn't still being developed. Whenever I get the chance to finish up the next version and post it, it might make sense to, you know, know what's coming. Not my usual shtick, but you people have been pretty patient, and I appreciate that. - Bug fixes (they're in every update, do I even need to mention it anymore?) - A new beach encounter (want to know what it is? Look at the Requested Features page and find the most likely encounter that would ONLY be at a beach) - Sex Doll TF (this is a bad end, but it's been pending for far too long) - Different kinds of strength (instead of becoming a bulky He-Man with a vagina, the game will keep track of which workouts you prefer, so that you can be at 100 strength and still look feminine, if that's your thing) - Multi-breast TF (Who doesn't want more boobs) - A new testing item feature (Y

So that happened

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to get back on my computer until...well, more or less now. I did get a graphics card*, but it's absolutely not a good card. My attempt to replace it with a different one ended...poorly. Also, my legs aren't working so good as a more or less direct result. I'm going to try to get some more work done this weekend, most likely on Sunday. But since I can't really do anything related to the game right now, I'm kind of...stymied. This is really frustrating, I know, but when my shit breaks, it breaks . * My old graphics card fan, which had been giving me trouble for months, decided to have a wire get pulled loose, which meant that my idle temperature for the card was about 80 degrees Celsius, more than 50 degrees higher than it should be. Top it off with the fact that my old card was one of the more notoriously difficult to repair cards, and basically, it necessitated replacement.

Fuck no, stream.

I kind of like starting early on Thursdays. Now, I know I said that I would be working on jobs for the foreseeable future on Thursdays, but honestly, the Call Girl job is threatening my sanity at this point. So instead, today we get All Request Thursday. (Disclaimer: All Request Thursday means Anonymous Man will be working on requested material, not that he'll be taking requests. Please do not make requests of what he should work on, he will ignore you.) So let's get this shitshow started. Things were going swimmingly until my graphics card fan (a source of endless frustration) died. And I don't mean it's not working right, I mean it's dead . No revival here. I'm going to see if I can get another fan sometime today, but lacking transport as I do, it won't be for quite some time. Extremely annoying. I'll probably stream later tonight, and finish up the work I started before posting a new version. Sorry about the technical problems...

Update 2/21

Yay. Major Updates - Chastity belt can now result in a special inhuman pregnancy. The more you wear it over night, the more likely you are to become pregnant. This can result in a bad end, though the requirements are kind of specific (you need wings and a very high morality). Minor Updates - Clothing will now properly reflect any underwear combination you can think of. This includes the special outfit variations. - Maternity clothing has been slightly updated, but it's still not done (it doesn't make for fun streaming to do the same thing over and over again. There's about 90-100 more variations to do, which I will do either tomorrow or over the weekend). Bug Fixes - Call Girl wedding request was not properly firing. Fixed. - The Get Dressed command was still checking weight for underwear. Fixed. - Going home from the beach was still checking weight for underwear. Fixed. - A bunch of miscellaneous fixes that I don't remember right now. Download link here.

The Kriegsmarine have landed!

Image
Th e Kriegsmarine were created when the Imperial navy took to space. A merging of the Navy, Air force and Fallschirmjager, these are elite troops and medium troop choices for the Eisenkern faction. Typically assigned to planetary assault, they drop from low orbit with the use of their drop packs, a device that allows the trooper to fall at terminal velocity towards its target and stop just before impacting the planet’s surface. This is achieved by creating a micro tear into void space, encapsulating the trooper in what is essentially a bubble of reality that overrides the laws of physics for a brief moment, saving the trooper from a grizzly impact. The effects to an observer would be a blinding flash; a two-meter ball of energy is created encapsulating the trooper, then a huge energy release that scars the earth at the point of impact. Scrambling from this crater, a Kriegsmarine, his armor popping and pinging as it cools. Here we have a five man squad. This is a command squad.

Update 2/14

The people have spoken. Major Updates: - Pregnancy effects (temporarily swollen breasts, massive hormone swings) are now in the game. There's a 35% chance of something happening each morning of your pregnancy: either stretch marks, swollen breasts, or massive hormone swings. - Restricting underwear, revealing underwear, and black one-piece corset can now be worn. They do not yet have full descriptions, and their special effects are not yet in the game, because they are special events that significantly change the game. Minor Updates: - Underwear no longer cares how fat or fit you are. If you gain or lose weight, you will get to keep your underwear. Breast size still counts, and underwear is still thrown out if you can't get it on. - New item: cocoa butter. Used to diminish the effects of stretch marks. Note that you don't need  to use it, but stretch marks reduce your Natural Charisma by 3 if you don't. Bug Fixes: - Shifted some stuff around for the pregnancy effects to

Assembled Sturmtruppen squads and support weapons

Image
First shots of an assembled squad, command squad and support. Keep in mind these are multi-part metal minis. There are five standing/running leg poses and two kneeling leg poses. A total of seven weapons choices and the ability to choose what weapons to assemble with any leg set, as well as the ability to customize the pose by twisting the torso and heads. Here we have a five man squad. This is a command squad. A forward observer with   artillery/orbital strike designator. A light Anti-Tank gun and crew. Not every venture goes as smoothly as one would like. Apparently when the arms were matched, not all the left and right arms were matched properly as a set. This will cause a slight set back as I correct the issue for the Kickstarter crew and the stock that I have for retail sale. I will post pics of the Kreigsmarine next and update with an official release date and price as soon as the kinks have been worked out. All the best! Mark-
