The OStim Profession 1.1 Full Release coming soon

The last beta took me a while because I got sick. But now I'm better and working on it again. There is now only one quest missing and it won't be anything big because I want to get done with it so I can finally work on something new.

So you can expect the full release for the Toss a coin to your modder tier within the next week.

What's taking so long?

Short answer: Quests.

Creating quests, especially creating dialogue, is really time consuming. And it doesn't help that it is also boring.

And I'm not even halfway through with it, so it will take even longer before I can make the next full release.
That is why I have decided to unlock The OStim Profession 1.1 Beta 1 post for the Toss a Coin to your Modder tier. That update introduces reputation and...

The OStim Profession 1.0

Let me preface this by saying that this is not the final version. I will continue to expand the mod with more features. But since this has already been a lot of work and I haven't released anything in quite some time I felt like it was time for the first release.

Requirements:
OStim Standalone 7.3.5

I'm still working on it.

I know it's been two weeks since the last beta again. But this is a big and complex mod.
And, what's probably worse, last weekend an irl project triggered my hyperfocus and now I can't work on anything else until that is done. Luckily it'll only be a few more days and then I can put my focus back into modding.

So I haven't forgotten about you guys, I just need a little more time.

What I'm working on

Just wanted to give you all a heads up since it's been two weeks since the last beta, and it probably will be at least another before the next, since I greatly underestimated how much work I'll have to put into this.

Right now I'm working on the task system for The OStim Profession. With that your customers will have requests for what they want you to do which you will have to fulfill by navigating to the proper animations.

To give you a few examples here are some main tasks I int...

What's next?

I know it's April 1st but this isn't going to be an April's fools post.

As I already said in my last progress report next up will be a new prostitution mod. I have many ideas for features of such a mod, but I don't want to get too involved in the many little side features before even getting the core mechanics done.

So the first beta will just have a simple approach mechanic that engages an OStim scene where you get paid in the end. From there I can then expand the mod with stuff ...

Law and OStim 1.0

Notice: Requires OStim Standalone 7.3.4e or higher!

Law and OStim combines the effects of the OCrime and OPleaseLetMeGo mods in a much more polished and engaging way.

Features:

1) Public scenes:
If you are being witnessed performing any kind of sexual activity in public you will get a bounty. Additionally if you are witnessed by a guard they will approach you, interrupt the scene and then confront you.
It actually checks for sexual activity, not just nakedness. So kiss...

the road ahead

As already mentioned in my last post I want to do more code based mods again. Next up I will create a mod I'm going to call "Law and OStim" which will act as a modernized version of OCrime with more configurability and a better API.

Once that is done I can use it as a base to create a new prostitution mod, which I feel is long overdue. I do not intend to create an updated version of OProstitution but rather create a new one from scratch so that it doesn't suffer from all the clunkiness ...

OStim Director 1.1

Requirements:
OStim Standalone 7.3.4c or higher
PapyrusUtil
UIExtensions

How does it work?
In the OStim Director MCM you can create your own playlists (or use the H key to queue them up). To play a playlist press num3 while in an OStim scene (can be rebound in the MCM) and select the playlist you want to play from the list.

Update 1.1:
You can now control NPCxNPC scenes by looking at the NPC (so that one of them is on your crosshair) and pressing the playlist select...

Back to coding.

Happy new year everyone. I think it's about time to let you guys hear from me again.

After having worked on animations for a bit it was time to go back to coding. You've probably noticed that I've updated OStim recently and with only a few more minor tweaks I think that's done for now.

So next up I will create some new code based mods to release here for early access. Some ideas I was given by other people and some ideas I had myself.

First up will be the OStim Director mod,...

SL Mega Pack for OStim Standalone 1.8

• expanded the table dance branch

• added wall branches

a small update

I know I haven't posted in a while.. again. I was working on a lot of long term projects.. again. And I just kinda lost track of how many weeks had passed since my last post.

It's just that working on something big and complex really fuels my ambition and finishing something after several months of work gives me a much bigger sense of accomplishment than converting a bunch of animations or adding a small feature to OStim. So I really sink into it and more or less neglect anything else.<...

OStim Standalone 7.3.2c

I know I haven't been active in a while. I'm working on too many long term projects at the same time and nothings getting finished. :^(

But in order to be able to release something again I managed to implement a feature that people have been requesting for a while: Changing furniture mid scene. Now when you press the up arrow key (or whatever you have assigned the scene start to) you can select a new furniture and the scene will move there.
While working on that I also managed to fix...

What I'm working on

I know I've been pretty quiet here lately, but I have not been inactive.
I'm currently working on the escape mechanics of the BDSM framework. And what has always bothered me about DD was that all the different escape options were essentially just dice rolls. I want every one of them to be engaging and feel different.
So here's a quick preview of what trying to pick the lock of a restraint looks like. Ultimately I want there to be many different possible ways of escaping a restraint. Alt...

the way forward

During the past month I have realized that it just feels so much better to work on whatever I feel like and not having to worry about a release schedule. Investing a lot of time into a bigger project without having to worry about what I'm going to release at the end of the week / end of the month allowed me to put a lot more focus into complex tasks.

Truly my passion is coding. Creating big complex frameworks that can do stuff that nobody has done before. Converting/modifying animations...

SL Mega Pack for OStim Standalone 1.7

• added some more animations to all dancing branches

• added missing speed controls to some of the dances

• added dances for female sitting on chair

I need a break

I feel like I'm running into a burn out with the weekly releases. I can't focus on stuff I'd like to work on because I won't have anything worthwhile to release for too long. So instead I work on other stuff that I can release at the end of the week.

So I've decided that before I burn out I'm going to take a break. I'll finish up the new release of the SL Mega Pack tomorrow and upload it. After that I'll leave the Patreon site running for another week so that people who aren't currently...

more delays..

Remember how I said I wouldn't make releasing a day late a habit? Well I was hit by some more real life stuff this weekend as well as a power outage during my prime working time. So I'm not quite done yet. But it's only some more fleshing out and I will release the next beta tomorrow.

Also since recently I've gotten irl events on the weekend much more frequently I'm considering to just move release day to Monday (UTC) entirely.. which then basically would make releasing a day late a hab...

more distractions

As I mentioned last week I was approached about sex toy integration into OStim and well... I can get really carried away with a good challenge. It's probably taking a few weeks before I got everything fleshed out but when it's done it's going to be awesome.

But this once again begs the question is any of you in possession of such a device and/or interested in getting one once OStim supports those or am I basically just doing this so that I can feel good about my achievement? It's often ...

every problem solved is another revealed

I'm still going on about that handjob animation, but there's just some weird bugs with it I can't seem to figure out. Especially since no other animation seems to have these issues. I am really confused about this.
But this has already eaten too much of my time and I need to get other animations done. So I will let this rest for a while and focus on creating new stuff. This way I at least have something to release every week.

On another note a company that is creating sex toys has ap...

SL Mega Pack for OStim Standalone 1.6

• converted some of Gunslicers dance animations to lapdances (and a few other dances)

• all animations are available via the petite hubs for chairs or standing apart
  
  The squatting handjob has alignment issues in first person, I don't know what's causing this. I tried a lot of things to fix it, nothing worked. There's one more thing I could try but that requires some big changes to my rig so it will take some time before I can see if that works.

an update on the animations

I did not quite figure out what exactly is causing the stuttering in some of the animations, but I did manage to reduce it by a significant amount, to the point where it is only noticeable when you fully zoom into the face. And since these animations are designed to be played in the male first person that's good enough for me, for now.
Now I just have to fix all of the animations I converted in the past two weeks, which is probably gonna take me another day. So the beta release will be lat...

slow but steady

I'm still learning a lot of stuff when it comes to Blender. And I'm mainly self teaching it because that's just how I work. Worked for learning the CK, worked for learning how to create SKSE plugins. And works pretty well for Blender so far.
The only problem is when I encounter issues I have no idea how to solve them. And also I can't really google it because there isn't much to find when it comes to creating Skyrim animations in Blender. So I do trial and error. Sometimes that works. Some...

Somebody in the mood for a lap dance?

For this month I wanted to try something new (which was also requested by one of my patrons). Gunslicer has created a lot of amazing dance animations which, with a little tweaking, work really great as lap dancing animations.

The only downside is that unlike my regular SL animations these dances weren't designed for paired animations, so it takes some tweaking in Blender to get them working properly, which takes a lot more time than what I usually do with animations. So this months upda...

SL Mega Pack for OStim Standalone 1.5a

- added all of Anubs Big Guy animations

These come with new idles for standing, chairs and walls.
Some navigations will have weird descriptions until I release the next version of OStim.

I encountered some unforeseen technical issues with the sitting on lap idle for chairs, which is why it looks pretty clunky for now. But I'm completely out of energy so I'll fix that later.

Hotfix 1.5a:
- fixed issues with the Big Guy Sitting on Lap idle for chairs

a small heads up

Remember how I said I didn't want to make it a habit to release a day late? Well I was out all day yesterday with flu like symptoms so I couldn't get the release done. :^(

For now it seems like I'm alright again today, though, so if it stays that way I'll be able to give you the release in a few hours.

EDIT: I'm already feeling pretty exhausted even though I just got up and haven't done anything. I might need another day to really get well again. Will have to see how it is in a fe...

about size difference

As some of you might know the Big Guy animations which I am currently converting have quite a bit of size difference between the male and female. Since this doesn't really mix all to well with the default animations of OStims I had opened a poll for the Miraaks Mantra tier on how to best handle it.
The result is to add new idles with the animation packs. So The Big Guy Pack will come with a Big Guy idle from where you will be able to access all the animations of that pack.

Sadly due ...

an update.. of sorts

Frankly I don't really have that much to talk about this week. I had a lot to do irl and was most days too exhausted to work on OStim stuff afterwards. Hence this weeks early access release will be delayed to tomorrow once again.

There also probably won't be another update of the bondage framework coming this month since there's a lot to do and I wont have that much time.

So for the rest of this month I'll be releasing OStim conversions of Anubs Big Guy animations, as was requeste...
