Ok well I guess I'm back on the development wagon.
I've been feeling like developing again lately (and not only because I finished Baldur's Gate 3), so I decided to try to make headway on some fun projects instead of just diving back into the library specifics.
I finally got fed up with the logging panel and have now rebuilt it. It's now much more compact, easier to see more messages (especially on mobile), and we should have log/crash reporting in again too! This will be massively helpful for support in the future.
Annnnnnnnd that's it. Life continues to be rough due to personal/medical issues, but managing to get stuff done here and there.
Life can really just stop it at any point now.
But the good news is, at least progress is happening sometimes! I've managed to get Intiface Central v2.4.3 out to all platforms, which has a lot of quality of life work, as well as some pretty important bugfixes (especially for Android Bluetooth).
Still bein' a nurse...
Looks like Buttplug Protocol v4 gonna be happening a lot sooner than I expected!
Ok, short one for this week because it's been ~7 weeks since the last update, but there's good reason for that.
My partner was in the hospital for an extended amount of time and had major surgery, meaning I haven't really had a ton of time to write much here or elsewhere. Luckily we're back home now, but I'm still spinning back up on having a life that does not revolve around the hospital again.
Oops more platform support?
Having dragged my feet on it for a whole 2 months, I finally removed background device scanning (it'll be coming back in the future, but requesting the permission requires jumping through a ton of hoops on the play store) from the Android build of Intiface Central and released it to the Play Store this weekend.
Oh my fucking god, I thought I was never going to get this finished. 43 minutes of hardcore buttplug engineering analysis about the Fleshlight Launch.I realize this is a REALLY long episode to start on, but I think I subconsciously decided to just throw all of my ideas at this and will now see what sticks. Upcoming videos will hopefully be closer to the 10-20 minute range, and divided into multiple videos if they're gonna break that limit.
If you've got comments or suggestions, please let me know! This is my first foray into youtube video making, so I'm sure I've got a ton more to learn. Note that you'll probably get another post notification about this video too, as I'll be making a public patreon post once I get all of the cards/annotations/transcriptions done. But I figured I'd like patrons in on it now. :)
Re-filming the Fleshlight launch teardown since I wasn't really happy with the first run thru. Looks like it'll end up being nearly an hour when I'm done, but it's a top to bottom analysis of the toy, the services it works with, marketing around it, etc. Hoping to have it out this week, just depends on how long editing takes.
Oof. Not particularly the past while. Life is getting in the way of Buttplug work. That said...
I started working on getting user configurations into Intiface Central, and thanks to our convoluted configuration files, it got very difficult very quick.
Finally decided to stop waiting for all of the equipment I'd ordered to film, and just filmed yesterday. Did an unboxing-ish thing (since I unboxed it right when I got it it's not a true unboxing. I am horrible.) and teardown of the fleshlight launch. I'll be editing together the material over the next couple of days and posting soon to my new Youtube channel.Also, I'll be adding a new perk for all patrons: Blooper reel! It's less funny and more violently awkward, especially since I decided to try doing this episode without a script to see how well I could improv.
The answer is: not well.
