As mentioned in the Overhaul post, I want to ask you what you would like to see for the sessionI create over the course of the month. I asked you on Discord what you'd love to see and I picked a few of those ideas.
So, choose one or more of these basic ideas. The poll runs until end of Sunday (Oct. 6th), CEST.
Feel free to comment with any thoughts you might have.
2019-10-02 15:35:18 +0000 UTC View PostFinally a new version for you Alphas & Betas! Sadly, Wireless transfer wasn't finished yet. So, this mainly features bugfixes. Here's what's in it (As Betas haven't seen a new version, I'll mark what's brand new in this version for Alphas):
features & improvements
Time for the weekly status update.
Due to organizing the HypnoCon not much was done for MMM. Don't fret, Alpha and Beta supporters will get a new version before the end of the month.
What I recently did:
German Recreational Hypnosis Con
I organized a hypnocon and a few people tried out MMM in the evening. I got some feedback and also found a few bugs.

Hey everyone! It is time to give you some details about what patrons will get in the future.
So, in regards of development:
Alpha supporters will get every new WIP build.
Beta supporters will get every second WIP build.
Gamma supporters will get every fourth WIP build.
The general public will get every fouth WIP build, but a week or two later, depending on any needed last-minute bugfixes.
Judging from the last few builds, I create abo...

2019-07-16 07:07:40 +0000 UTC View PostWell, not much to say. I'm focusing more of my time back on this project and my overall energy is coming back more and more.
What I recently did:
WIP version 1.1.9
After fixing a whole bunch of crashes and problems I gave Alpha supporters the latest WIP-version on the way to 1.2. It uses the default folder for imports, searches for .mmm recursively, and also has some slightly nicer visual behavior for buttons (in VR only). There's also...

First things first. I reached 100 supporters! Thank you so much! You are awesome! 🍾🥂
Changes, again!
I've been a bit absent over the last few weeks. I tried to have a few days off as well, but client work didn't really allow for much relaxation. Anyways, I'm a bit upset because I haven't given you any new versions for a while. So, I'm going to tweak my development process a bit more. I'm changing to a shorter development c...

Outsourcing new sessions
Some of you might have seen me rambling about this on Discord already. I take too long for session creation. Coming up with an idea I like and writing the script is hard for me. Extremely hard. It takes me days or weeks of pondering to come up with an idea, then it takes me the equivalent of a workday to write the complete script, and I need to be ...

Reworking my work process
I've been very busy with "putting out fires", things that (seemingly) needed attention right now, having to stop whatever I was working on and take care of the fire. But many things aren't always really fires. Of course, I will always prioritize serious bugs, crashes and when people need support with their copy of MMM. But others are just normal tasks that came to mind, and instead if noting down a fe...

Edit: Now accessible to everyone!
Here is the overdue Session for March 2019. It took me longer than expected, but I also poured a lot of time and energy into it and I think it the result was worth it. But, you are my patrons, so only you can decide and let me know!
I put a lot of time in designing the safety precautions in this file. That means, that your Drone Mode will be accompanied by a "Security A.I." that will be modified and optimized to your liking by your uncons...

2. New FileBrowser GUI
3. Bulk Importing of all (new) sessions in selected folder

Hey all. Each tier gets their own poll. Should help me to give more attention to higher-level patrons as promised.
So, here are the possible things to focus my time on for v1.2. There are no options for SessionMaker as it is overdue and I'm already putting high priority into it. Feel free to select multiple options, just let me know what you think I should focus on.

I got sick over a week ago and while I'm feeling somewhat fine and only occasionally have coughing fit, I'm just not ready yet. I'm really sorry for not telling everyone earlier.

This is the very first session that I created for MMM that is of sexual nature. Each and every session I ever released wasn't erotic. Sure, there was the one that looped that had a tone of brainwashing, but all it did was install a trance-trigger. There was no mentions of any excitement or sexual feelings, it was rather harmless, just like all the other files.
So, I really hope you like this one. While I still used TTS, I worked hard on it, both the text and th...
