What do you think, should I support Android TV in the future? It is probably not much work and I can an Nvidia Shield from a friend for testing. Having MMM run on a TV might the best use of the boring 2D version.
Please add a comment why you chose the poll option you did. Thank you!
I tested the concept using the 38" TV connected to my PC. This is what that looks like:
Here we go again.
What I recently did (not much due to the very late update last week):
New Version 0.10.0
Last week was very good and as things worked out nicely, I released Alpha 10 on the weekend.
Splash Screen
The default splash screen, espiacially in VR was a rather lame icon managed by the system, it was low resolution, ugly, and was static. Now there is a proper splash scene that looks a lot better in...

It looks that I'm getting a hang of doing this.
What I recently did (not much due to the very late update last week):
Updating Trello
The Trello board is up to date. That means I added all the tasks I want to accomplish this week and move old ones away. I did not add tasks that I already did as this would take too much time that can be used for more programming.
New platform management

This one is a bit late. Really busy week and also been to the dentist last week.
What I recently did:
Subliminals Settings
Those subliminals settings I added to the SessionMaker? There are now getting read correctly in MMM when playing a session that uses them.
New platform management
I talked about the details enough before. So, I went and finalized it for each and every binary I build. I did a test run and it really i...

As mentioned last week, I want to do this on a weekly basis. I had a bad cold (or a not too rough flu) and did certainly not accomplish everything I hoped for.
NEEHU edition
Right after last weeks status post, the first reports of bugs for v0.9.N came in. More than usual even. It took me well over a day to fix all oof the problems, partially caused by how I manage platform and version differences, partially by sloppiness on...
2018-03-13 07:47:22 +0000 UTC View PostIt is the last day of NEEHU. Its organizer "Mephki" has the Mind Melting Machine there for people to try it out! As I knew that beforehand I went and updated the v0.9.2 a bit, threw in an Attract-Mode and called it "NEEHU Edition". It also contains the updated version of the Power Nap. Please check the Power Nap out and tell me if it works for you!
What's new:
NEEHU has started. Its organizer "Mephki" has the Mind Melting Machine there for people to try it out! As I knew that beforehand I went and updated the v0.9.2 a bit, threw in an Attract-Mode and called it "NEEHU Edition". It also contains the updated version of the Power Nap. Please check the Power Nap out and tell me if it works for you!
I'll make this available to all 1$ supporters on Sunday (last day of NEEHU).
What's new:
It's already been way too long without an update. 1$ supporters deserve better I think. I'll try to turn this into a weekly thing, even for weeks when there isn't much to talk about.
Isochronic tones
Since binaural beats can be difficult for people who have one better ear and also feel a bit bad at very low target frequencies (anything less than 2 Hertz) I decided to add isochronic tones. These essentially work with the volume, so they are mu...
2018-03-05 17:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostHello my valued patrons. In the last few releases more and more bugs made their way into MMM. Some of them were especially hard, crashes at the startup or the cardboard versions not being in cardboard VR. Well, as it seems Unity introduced those and I just didn't notice soon enough.
So, I could successfully downgrade the project to an earlier version of Unity which fixed those problems. I also started to do some testing of the final binaries on different devices to see if everything stil...
2018-02-20 14:40:18 +0000 UTC View PostAt last a new alpha version for beta supporters!
Also, alpha supporters should update MMM to 9.1 as well, it fixes a problem with text subliminals not being shown.
Newest feature: Picture "Subliminals"
Yes, they are not real subliminals. Just like text subliminals these appear and dissappear for a predefined amount of time. In the future this amaount of time will be configurable in the session maker.
The session maker now remembers where you last had your sessions, a...
2018-02-10 17:42:21 +0000 UTC View PostBeta supporters didn't have a chance to get their hands on a new versions for a little while now. Due to a few problems in the last Alpha8 I did not release it to Beta supporters and since I released Alpha9 today I don't think it makes sense to give you a buggy and outdated Alpha8. But by the end of next week I'll give the Alpha9 to beta supporters. Just wanted to give you a heads-up.
This is a long overdue new version. It doesn't contain everything I wanted to have in it. But it contains a few fixes and a kind of a preview of what's going to come soon. I release it to both alpha and beta supporters as there are several problems in Alpha 6 I want to know fixed for all who use it. There will be a new Alpha8 soon to give Alpha supporters the prioritized access on.
So, what's in Alpha 7?
SessionMaker has an updated layout. It's not finished, but it works better than befo...

It's the last day of 2017 and I look at MMM, and how far it came. I guess it's normal for anyone creating something to look at what one has done so far and be disappointed. But I keep the negative thoughts to myself and will fight with those on my own. Today and want to look back and forget the nagging feeling that I could or should have been developing this a lot faster.
The project started in late May 2016, shortly after seeing the project "FemDom" by Citor3 on Patreon. I ...

Thank you everyone for your great support!
I fear I won't be able to hit any stores in 2017, the content isn't quite finished and the Session Maker needs more work as well.
Alpha supporters can expect another versio before the end of the year, though. And Beta supporters will get that early in January.
I hope everyone has a great time!
2017-12-24 12:19:55 +0000 UTC View PostAs always, after a bit of wait now Beta Supporters get their hands on the latest alpha version. Alpha Supporters should update also, I did a bit of bugfixing (not too much though).
Alpha 6 has no new sessions, all ist improvements are in custom sessions. SessionMaker now allows you to:
December is here. Wow, this one feels like it was one of the shortest years in my life. Or am I just getting old? Anyway, I'm not here to talk about that or that it's snowing outside. I'm writing this to give you some information, on what I planned for MMM and what I think might change in 2018.
I keep mentioning that I want to release MMM to the stores before the end of the year and that hasn't changed.
But apart from that I have notsaid much about what exactly I planned. And that is bec...
2017-12-03 09:13:19 +0000 UTC View PostAbout a week ago I got the report that SessionMaker has problems on Mac when trying to use MP3 files. I got around to update the SessionMaker now to version 0.5.1 which should handle MP3 files without problems again. I have updated the download links on the website and here they are again for convenience:
Hello my dearest supporters!
Last week I promised to let all of you get a good look at Alpha 5, and here it is.
Please enjoy all of the sessions/tests and also try out the SessionMaker. And while you do that, please report any problems or bugs you might encounter.
And now, without further ado, here are the download links:
So, I have dropped plans and things I work on in 5$ and 10$ patron posts, but it's been a while since I posted an update for **all** my patrons.
Things I'm working on right now or very soon:
Finalized Sessions
Content creators will be able to save their sessions as Finalized. That means the session can no longer be edited in SessionMaker. Opening a finalized session in SessionMaker will you only show general information like title and description, but audiofiles, s...

Hello again!
Time for you to get your hands on this at last. What's new? Well, not too much. The SessionMaker got an facelift and should be now more usable than the last version. While it has no new features you can see that there is enough room for a few more things to come. You'll see. :)
Also, MMM got another TechTest and I think it's a treat. It uses visual and audio brain synching techniques to guide you down, helping your mind to unwind in a nice and refreshing trance. It features ...

Hello my dearest supporters!
As I will have a rather busy weekend ahead of me I will give release Alpha 4.1 early to you.
Alpha 4 now features thefile browser that enables you to add session files without using the WiFi transfer. This way all of you can add sessions now, even if the WifI transfer won't work for you.
The Android versions are patched to v0.4.1 which fixes a critical bug that broke the file browser.
If you want to trade your session with other patreons ple...
2017-09-29 19:16:09 +0000 UTC View PostHello my dearest supporters! Alpha supporters had their time to check out the latest version long enough, now it's time to give you Beta supporters the goods. The new features of Alpha 0.3 are:
- MP3 and WAV support
- Text subliminals
- Slightly improved network info for Wifi transfer
As most of you still have problems with the Wifi transfer I am already working the file browser I promised. So if Wifi transfer gives you a hard time, soon you'll be able to add files without us...
2017-09-14 14:38:10 +0000 UTC View PostCurrently the primary (and only) way to add sessions to MMM is via wireless transfer using the SessionMaker. Should I add a file browser so that you can add a session file by browsing the system files? If so, should I do that in September for v0.4 Alpha in September or do you think I should take care of other features first? Please be aware that this feature will not be available on iOS.
Note that v0.3 will feature support for MP3 and WAV audio files and will allow for text subliminals in cust...
2017-08-31 09:16:49 +0000 UTC View PostHey! Were you able to create and send a session to MMM using the SessionMaker?
Please file a bug report if you had any troubles!
2017-08-31 09:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone, as promised here is Alpha 2 of both MMM and ist SessionMaker. I worked on improving and streamlining the build process yesterday. I use Unity's Cloud Build now and things are okay. It still won't build the iOS version correctly and somehow the GearVR version won't build at all, not on their servers nor on my machine. I built the iOS version myself again (a tedious process) and I hope to fix the GearVR thing in the coming week.
Alpha 2 is mainly about bugfixes and a bit more intui...

Just a short update...
I fixed several bugs yesterday and today surrounding the whole transmission and both ends now correctly show the progress and completion of the transfer. It also now works to transfer one file after another without having to restart one or both of the two apps.
Tomorrow morning I'll build both for all the platforms and release to alpha and beta supporters at once.
I see now point in letting beta supporters wait for a new version that has no...
I was made aware of a crash bug on Mac with the SessionMaker. It is fixed now and I updated the download link in the previous post. For convenience you can also download the fixed version here.

Hello dear supporters. Today I give you the official Alpha 1 of MMM.
At the first glance it looks a lot like TechTest3. But it contains the most wished for feature since I began the project: You can create and add your own sessions. Using the Session Maker you can create, edit and save simple sessions. You can then send a ssession over to the running Mind Melting Machine via WiFi where it will be added to your personal library. You can then use that session like the ones already bundled. Here ...

2017-08-10 06:46:27 +0000 UTC View PostJust wanted to let you know that I just updated the Trello board for the next sprint. I wonder if I have explained what a sprint is. It's a term from "SCRUM", it's a development cycle which is a few weeks long and should result in a new software version.
If you have feedback or requests, just comment here or send me a message. :)
