Ava Updated

Ava has 5 new body shapes available in game as of "Right now"

As you can see, one of them is 6'9" and quite #Bustilicious!

Excelsior!

Back to work with a vengeance!

Hello Testers and supporters,

Let’s get started with the development progress. This weekend was dedicated to some hardcore coding both on the client side and the server side. Getting story-mode to work as something fun, and creating more meaningful dialog conditions, requires reworking some of the core functions and adapting the game objects accordingly.

It’s actually a good thing, because I get to make some optimizations (and bug fixing) al...

What a difference 30 inches make!

Hi, I'm Snotling. (CEO of Bloopers Studios.)

This is, as promised a double sized rendering update, and then some. A typical renders update has 5 body shapes, this one has 12.

With this update, testers can grow Olivia up to 8 feet tall (!!!) and get a 'height accurate' image on screen.

Things are not so simple for Olivia, growing like this. She can't find high heels to her size, she's pretty much limited to flip-flops and rubber shoes (Crocs) from the men's shelf. But even ...

Where is my update?

I spent most of the weekend working at recovering parts of my DAZ library. Collateral of the last system failure.

There are lots of things in the computing world you learn not to put your trust in when you're actually depending on your tools to deliver content. 

Cloud services : They just don't work like an actual file system and you'll realize it when you need multiple files at once or when a content management service fails to access files that are not where they ...

Release A7, bugfixes + Game Reset

Hi Patrons,

I managed to get a release out, to address the recently reported bugs, despite the computer problems I had this weekend.

Game Client: http://bit.ly/SetupFS 

I strongly advise removing the previous version before installing. Since I had to reinstall everything from scratch for my PC to run, the installer was compiled using a different code signature and your PC might decide to treat the t...

Bad news : No coding or rendering this weekend.

UPDATED: Repairs seem successful, I'm fixing bugs. I might be able to release A7 on Monday night after all.

-----

It seems my venerable machine is truly reaching the end of its useful life. Looks like it might be the motherboard... If it's truly the case, the project will be on hold until i can assemble a new rig. More information will be provided as it becomes available. (unless my Android smartphone 📱 dies as well)

How should spice be balanced?

As a side note, 5 new Body-shapes for Jack have been uploaded. I know, they're not the most exciting but they certainly were the most overdue. Next week, it's Olivia's turn so be ready for a new record height in the Funky-Spice PC-game.

Question: 

How should the Funky-Spice effect be balanced within the game?

In Cannon (I mean, who's going to argue with the guy who wrote the thing?) Funky-Spice would take effect quite rapidly after ingestion...

Cleaning-up

Hello followers,

Since A6 is online, most of my time has been spent fixing various minor glitches and issues as they were reported.  I also just wired Extra funds to players in need so that they may keep on pushing the game into the 2nd semester.

A bunch of renders have been added as well but they're nothing to get excited about either.  Everything feels SMALL after a BIG product update... Hey, did I just have an Idea for a story here?

The real work begins tomorrow, now t...

Release A6 is ready for download

Hi Patrons!

This is quite a big one, I spent one more day than I planned in Quality Assurance doing regression testing but if it means no game-breaking issue in the package, then it'll be all worth it. (If issues are found, well at least I tried...) Link: http://bit.ly/SetupFS 

As you can expect, since this is a big one, Please read the release notes.

What's new ?

Just how tall is Ava?

Well, ever since she started eating more and more spice and outgrowing the people around her... Ava kind of changed attitude as well.

Her opinion about high heels changed too. Or maybe its just that she's wearing Olivia's hand me downs to save money. Ava is only 6'4" on the picture but she's wearing a pair of vertigo inducing stripper style sandals Olivia used to wear back when she was that size!

How tall exactly does that make her with the heels on?

Reply with your best guess and ...

Olivia has been eating her spinach!

Either that or some Funky-Spice and she must have been hitting the gym or something because those look like 16" Biceps!

On her 7'1" and almost 350 pounds frame they don't look out of place at all, you'll only notice it when she flexes for her brother at the gym!

But everything is not awesome for Olivia... She can no longer find high heels to her size and at the rate she's growing, there is no way she can have shoes custom made fast enough to wear them before she outgrows them! She's also...

Olivia can now grow to 6'9"

This is the latest op 5 body shapes patrons!

She's also gotten a little thicker where it counts ;-) Of course, she's wearing stripper boots to make it even more dramatic!

On a more serious note, a tester has officially confirmed that the game crashes when you reach the first semester's finals. It will become my priority 1 objective to fix this bug. No doubt it will be done in time for build A6.<...

Top 5 requested body shapes uploaded

Hi Supporters,

This is how it mostly goes every week or so. I create and render the missing body shapes the most requested by the game client. Each of these top 5 batches (excluding Oliver) are roughly 40-50 renders, its a rythme of production that I have judged to be sustainable, One time I tried to render a top 10 and that was quite a stretch as each render requires more than just rendering time but...

Next Patreon reward Poll

Hi Patrons!

its already the middle of the month, so I'll be working (or not, depending on this poll...) on the monthly reward.

Now, would you guys rather:

Release A5 uploaded

Game client: http://bit.ly/SetupFS

Hello Patrons!

Release A5 fixes some Spice bugs where some spice effects would not apply once an attribute was maxed out.

Also, I'm using this opportunity to bring the movie theater into the game , along with a cosmetic upgrade to Oliver's laptop (Thanks to LaFouine for the contribution!)

Some of you might have noticed, spamming spice is ...

Version A4 is Released!

Hello Testers,

This is a big one and it had its load of issues leading to it. First off, my venerable computer had an incident in the middle of rendering the August reward, which Required me to spend two days repairing it (Had to reinstall windows, DAZ and Visual Studio…) Getting everything to work right is a pain but I think I made it in good time!

So those two days of the long weekend were lost, making the week much less productive than I had hoped. Nevertheless, i...

Rewards sent as messages

Hi Guys, I just sent the rewards, so check your private messages!

I have also updated the Alpha access rights, so the new Members can get in the game.

If there is any kind of problem, just write me a message.

Olivia at 6'7" in flats!

No, its not a camera trick! 40 new renders of Olivia have been uploaded minutes ago.

Right now, you'll need luck on your side to see them but build A4 coming after labor day will make it much easier to see her tower over her brother in game!

Almost 2000 renders uploaded!

Yeah... just don't get too excited, over 1800 of them are renders of Oliver. Mainly because whenever Oliver has a new body shape, this body shape needs to interact in 3 outfits and with characters ranging from 5' tall to 10' tall, his eyes and head following the eyes of the other character in the conversation. So yeah, those are big automated batches that run during the night and while I'm at work.

On the other hand, There are 7 new body shapes for Olivia and 5 for Emma, a total of 66 ...
