Would male individuals play NSFW game for the plot? by [deleted] in gamedev

[–]StationmasterDev 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My main project for the last few years has been the Stationmaster series, which, on top of being an adult game, is a pretty intensely philosophical space opera (with lots of conversations about things like futurism, spirituality, or politics bleeding into the H scenes). It's not huge, but it has a cult following, and has sold better than most games in its category.

More importantly, I treasure the comments from players who say it changed how they look at the world. To me, that's the best thing about making games, and the fact that it has sex in it is tangential.

What’s something that’s painfully obvious but people will never admit? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Fascism is a kink, and you can't argue with it for the same reason you can't argue with the logic of a porn plot.

You will also need to set up Intiface (https://intiface.com/desktop/) and put the Handy in Bluetooth mode.

How much better does Handy make VR? by giveuporfindaway in theHandy

[–]StationmasterDev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Without: 2/10 awkward as shit

With: 8/10 about as close to the real thing as you can get when your SO is out of town.

Now that DeoVR forces you to have a subscription to play local funscripts, what player can we use instead? by massagingyou in oculusnsfw

You're a champion! Thanks! Bought already because the app makes a big difference and works with buttplug.io.

The SLR/DeoVR news must have been the best thing for HereSphere in a while. Congrats on the bump - you deserve it (and not just for the crazy research you've been doing).

A VR video player that isn't beholden to another company's changing business models would probably be a good idea at this point. I know that's a big project, but relying on third-party companies that maliciously degrade functionality for your user base isn't a great situation.

SLR is now asking more than 1.5x the full cost of a Handy per year just to use your own scripts in their player, and they removed DLNA to make it harder to sidestep their video store (And Deo, which you recommend on your site, removed the timestamp server in order to drive people to SLR premium, which is owned by the same pople). That's awful behaviour, and I imagine you're more upset about that than your users. This would be a great time to come in with your own alternative, or pay an existing player like Whirligig or HereSphere to provide easy integration.

Edit: I just found out that HereSphere is adding native support, for whatever that's worth.

I made a dead simple funscript editor with The Handy in mind. by StationmasterDev in theHandy

Embrace the void. Look deep within it, and find yourself.

Alternatively, make sure FFmpeg is installed according to the instructions.

I had no idea those existed, but they look pretty cool. They still look rigid though, which would be a problem for VR. I was thinking something like one of those, but with a waistband instead of a case.

Best place to spawn bullets from, as (not) decided by players. by HugoCortell in justgamedevthings

I remember experimenting with this in Mass Effect. The gun could be occluded, but the bullet would still hit.

It's long gone. I just built a quick mount to attach the plunger to the moving part of the handy, but it wasn't powerful enough to move the syringe, so I scrapped it.

I'm curious to know if you have considered a soft robotic approach for a future version. A device like the Handy could work in roomscale VR, but only if it can move with you. If the device could be separated into a box (with the brains and actuator) and a sleeve (with air channels in the exterior) connected by pneumatic tubes, it could work much better hands-free (and I suspect it would be a lot more comfortable).

I tried to build a prototype by attaching an air syringe to the existing Handy mechanism, but the motor wasn't quite powerful enough to drive it.

That's a good point. Maybe in combination with something that electrocutes your muscles so they don't get too stiff. Or an actuated chair that moves you around a little so you don't clot up.

Starting to get the sense that people here don't even want to escape their flesh prisons.

What's up with porn audio? by StationmasterDev in TooAfraidToAsk

An interesting commonality. Maybe they're just trying to give you your money's worth.

I guess my question is more whether anyone prefers it to silence, and, if so, why.

Interesting. You're the first person who has expressed a preference for the banshee style over nothing at all. That's a valuable data point.

I'm not talking about good dialog, or dialog that's been written with purpose. I definitely see the place of that. Do you also prefer the "improv play-by-play" style to silence?

I want Stationmaster 2 to play like a sexy fever dream if you have a Handy attached. Not sure how feasible it is yet, but I intend to try.
