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.
A public patreon update, just to give everyone an idea of the kind of work that patreon dollars fun! (Well and also because this is a metafetish.com post anyways)Most of the reverse engineering happening now is in preparation for getting v0.1 of Buttplug out the door. What that release will actually look like is anyone's guess, but the more toys we have documented and reversed, the better. I'll usually be covering reverse engineering and software development work over on the Buttplug.io blog and leaving this blog for featuring news, business, and other people's projects (with buttplug update posts every so often), but I'm taking this opportunity to update both places since I haven't written anything about my own work in a while.
First off, all of our documentation and code repos are still at
All the things, slowly...
Buttplug v7 continues to be fairly stable, but there's still one sticking point:
First newsletter of the year! At the end of the first month of the year. >.>
Having released v7 of Buttplug over the holidays, I've now shifted over to documenting things as best as possible. At the moment, this is a combination of updating the Buttplug Developer Guide, and trying to get our API docs for Rust/C#/Typescript etc in some sort of working order.
Oops.
So yeah, it's been a real slow month on Intiface/Buttplug updates. A combination of crunch time at the day job and a family emergency that had me back in the US Midwest for a week completely blew my development time post-Thanksgiving. Luckily that all mostly seems to be over now, and I've got 2 weeks off around the holidays, so I've got lots of plans! We'll see how many of those actually get done.
I decided to set up a Discourse forum for support questions about Buttplug and Intiface. While I'll be keeping the discord, we tend to repeat information a lot there, so I'm hoping we can centralize info on this forum instead of making users try to dig through chat search logs. We'll see if it works out.
It's been a rather rough month due to personal events, hence the lack of updates, but I'm hoping to get back on schedule this coming monday.
Ok took me an extra night but
SO CLOSE TO DONE
Things are moving right along with Central. At this point, outside of custom devices (which is a tiny niche of our users), Central is either on par or exceeding the features of Intiface Desktop. I'll be releasing v0.0.4 after this email, which I'm probably going to call the last version before v1, unless some sort of massive bug pops up that requires me to release another intermediate version.
Intiface Central v0.0.3 is out, with tons of bugfixes/updates over the past couple of weeks. I'll go into the specifics in the Weekly Update tomorrow but wanted to get release info out now:
