Animation Test

The combat tester now shows and tests animation. Still a few timing issues mainly do to loads happening after the image supposedly exists. Other then that it works quite well, if you use a slower animation time. Also brings in all the enemies. What does this mean?

1) New attacks can be added with animation with no programming experience.
2) New enemies can be added with no programing experience.

Marching slowly towards combat being much more. Right now its a bit dull and well boring. With everyone able to add attacks, animations, and enemies, I think we can resolve that. Plus make create your own explorations rather good, depending on how much time people put into it.

A couple cleans

Another slow day still trying to get Mio converted. Compare that to Lonewolf who has converted all of the girls that I don't maintain. I wanted to give him a big official thank you, that was a lot of work. He got all those girls changed up to the new format in the time it took me to do two.

Also since I'm doing thank you's for the week. Thanks to Docclox who is integrating his xml girl classes in as we speak and to Redcape for the great clothes.

Tomorrow should have a more advanced version of the combat tester done.

What won't I do?

The image has nothing to do with anything.

I thought I should declare this at some point and I'm out of ideas for today. So the stuff that I'm not going to put in Otherworld. It's open source so someone else can add but will never be in an official version.

1) Amputation / Guro - This one is just pointless in a slave training game plus its not really a turn on for most people including myself.
2) Gay - just not interested
3) Scat - I have no problem with enema for anal training but the second you cross the line to eating...

This list can be added as new fetishes I've never heard of show up.

Attack Tester

Working on a little program to test out attacks and attack animation. Its not even close to being done though. Should allow a nice place to model the difference in attacks and see how to get the math to work. Plus its all xml loaded so if I get it to work correctly people will be able to add there own attacks with there own animation. I hope, theoretically, we shall see.

Otherworld FAQ

Nothing to do with anything... just my hatred of Mac Users continues. Bunch of Yuppies who have no idea what they bought except that its like an Iphone so it must be cool to bad it doesn't do anything. For them having less then 5% market share, why do people keep thinking that companies will have tech support specifically for the stupid mac they just bought that doesn't run there software or external devices. Oh and setting up there e-mail client makes outlook look simple. Flash is good stupid mac people.

Rant off, offtopic off, back to normal stuff...

I have been working on a FAQ for a while for *cough* interesting *cough* questions, for a little while. But trying to answer FAQs that you write that you write yourself doesn't help much so how going to open it up and maybe I will answer your question. If I ignore your question, their is a reason.

FAQs

Why does everyone speak the same language?

Translator Microbes. (See Farscape) Everyone is still speaking there original language but they hear everyone's response in there native language.

What language do Spherians Speak?

Spherian

What language do humans speak?

Stupidity

How much does the average person make about a day?

5 - 10gp

How much does an average meal cost?

1-2gp Food is always a key resources more then money, for some who just trade and work for food.

Do most people own ?

Not really mainly if you make 5gp you can build up enough money to purchase one but then after feeding them your back to broke.

Well what about housing then?

Go carve out your own home from the green is free as long as its not claimed (most people build conclaves for protection). City housing, you either carved your own spot out already a while ago and held onto it or payed a pretty penny for it. It's definitely in this aspect where strength, skill, and insanity are the keys.

So housing, food... that leaves water right?

it rains everyday, and I mean everyday for about 15 minutes at around 2am. Plus there are lots of "natural" springs everywhere, almost as if they were set up to water a large garden.

Oh forgot clothing...

There are some risky farmers trying to grow plant fibers to wear, but with food just barely being in surplus cash crops are looked a little down on (but still make good money.) Animal skins from the pit and the green are common. As well as what ever is pulled out of the pit.

So where does the Gold for GP come from, there isn't any heavy metal, and there can't be enough gold coming through the pit?

Quiet you. Logic is not allowed.

Nothing Really

Nothing really today just a demo of blackjack game for the casino. Which is probably one of the dullest things I will ever post but I got nothing better.

Nana to Kaoru OAV is out. I haven't had a chance to watch it yet, but I'm still going to give the link.

Underworld

Last night I started experimenting with some code for a black jack card game. Sort of reminds me of college doing stupid games and trying to build stuff outside the comfort area. But I now get the package classes and built my own external loader. Something Docclox has been doing for the past few weeks and I had to play with myself. Also showed me I need to do some major rewriting to combat, now that I get how to do classes correctly. No images, and i'm sure most of you are bored with this already. So lets pull out something from the vault. For April Fools how about just a wall of text.

***SPOILERS****

Subway:

On the exterior of "Safety Valve" is a mass transit system designed to move people and goods quickly. Stress exterior, it is actually on the outside of the sphere, one of the reasons it was not damaged by the P-Door opening. It is currently offline do to the green which has spread filling it up and making it impossible for the maintenance bots to keep up. When online or even if sections of it are online it would allow for rapid transportation to all the primary maintenance locations on Safety Valve. As well as access to the other subterranean research complexes and housing.

Valve-chan:

The non-sentient AI of "Safety Valve". In charge of maintenance of Safety Valve. Her main processors are held next to the fusion reactor (sun), one of the few places that the green has not reached. She communicates wireless to the distant parts monitoring and adjusting the life support. The green though has severely limited this ability. (The green being created for combat, has a tendency to jam wireless communications.) She can contact main installations but is unable to contact her bots, most of which have gone into hibernation mode or have been eaten by the green.

Valve-chan is unsure exactly what is happening. Not designed to think outside of the box. She knows there has been an accident (the p-door), she knows that she has lost communication with most of her bots. She is waiting for directions as to what to do next.

Like most Spherian technology Valve-chan is designed to be used by Spherians and only by Spherians. (Why even with super tech lying around in some places most of it is in-operable). Spherians design all there technology so it can not be used by other "barbarians." That includes its spheres. If she felt the "Safety Valve" had been overrun by non-spherian "barbarians" she would cleanse the sphere.

The Spherian Embassy is not in direct contact with Valve-chan. They consider a non-sentient AI to be just a part of daily life and don't really see any need to say hi to a dumb computer.

AI Notes:

Spherian AI's are in two classes.

Sentient AI's which are considered spherian Citizens with all the rights of citizens and are ruled by the AI Council an off shoot of the Spherian Council, that work together. The AI Council makes the determination if a an AI is sentient. This doesn't mean that sentient AI's are used to control major ships and colonies. It is seen as a great honor for a AI to be chosen to run a war ship or a habitation module, disrespecting a sentient AI is the same usually as disrespecting your home, something that is never done, as a mad AI can make your life very unpleasant with out killing you.

Non-Sentient AIs the dumb back bone of Spherian society that handles all the little tasks that no one wants to think about. They are not acknowledged by the AI council as brethren and are created by anyone who wants a semi-smart computer program, that is usually both physically and code wise restricted from becoming self aware. A non-sentient AI becoming aware is not a crime but at that point it becomes a citizen and well its not likely that the new sentient AI will want to run your toaster oven.
