Thanks to Astolpho (http://patreon.com/dawnchapel),,) I now have awesome tier images for my Patreon page and videos!

We're now 8 weeks out from the first commit in the buttplug-csharp repo. Someday we'll get to a release. Someday. Since the last update:

• We now have 2 developers working on Buttplug, soon to be 3!

https://metafetish.club/t/buttplug-standard-document-review-thread/31I just finished writing the first draft of the Buttplug Protocol Spec. This is the message board thread for the refinement conversation. 

If you're the kind of person that enjoys systems planning work, please take a look at it and lemme know on the message board thread if you have any suggestions, if anything is missing, etc...

https://metafetish.clubJust in case the slack, the blog, and the patreon updates weren't enough for you, now we have a Discourse instance! I'll be using this as the forum installation for Metafetish, and probably wiring blog post comments to it at some point too.

Episode 1 production time: 3 weeksEpisode 2 production time: 2 hours

After getting support for translating Kiiroo commands to Gamepads, figured I'd finally post a demo of what the current state of Buttplug looks like. The good news is, I've also had a couple of outside testers who've managed to get it working with both gamepads and the Fleshlight Launch! This is starting to look like it may be releasable. :D

After taking a break this past long weekend (helped immensely with some of the twinges of burnout I was getting), I'm back at it on trying to get a minimal application working for Buttplug using C# and Typescript. I just posted a full update on Metafetish athttps://www.metafetish.com/2017/05/31/metafetish-dev-log--week-of-20170529/

 Still getting lots of contact about the project from random places, the scattered interest is nice. Just hoping I haven't overhyped a bit with how long implementation is taking.

First off, Hello new patrons! Thanks for the donations! They will be used for new buttplugage assuming I don't die from burnout soon.Now then, moving on...

Remember when I thought programming applications for sex toys would actually involve programming sex toy stuff?

I have set up the Appveyor CI to output ButtplugGUI installers on every build I make now.  If you go tohttps://ci.appveyor.com/project/qdot/buttplug-csharp

and click on one of the build configurations, then click on the "Artifacts", you can download installers from each build.

The code binge to get C#/Win10 buttplug out the door continues, and it's going really well! Support for the Fleshlight Launch, Vibrating Lovense Toys, and XInput/XBox compatible gamepads is in and working, and I'm hoping to start implementing some applications on top of this functionality soon, ahead of a v0.0.1 release.I'm also starting to plan for the post C# world, mostly looking forward to getting back to the comfyness of Rust. I've done a bit of repo shuffling, so now the main buttplug repo (http://github.com/metafetish/buttplug)) is now just documentation, json schemas, etc. I've moved the rust implementation to http://github.com/metafetish/buttplug-rs. The JSON schema for the messages I have implemented in C# so far is done, and this should be a HUGE help on implementing clients and servers in other languages.

Unfortunately, I do realize I'm running way behind on the tier rewards. Like, so far behind they haven't even happened yet. I'm also assuming most donors are going to be interested in Buttplug once it's released too though, so I'm just counting on that. If you REALLY want your tier reward, feel free to poke me and we can figure something out. :)

Last week, after 4+ years of trying to figure out some completely cross platform solution before even starting to build my sex toy server application, I decided to just do a quick implementation in C#, which should at least cover Windows 10 Creators Update (possibly earlier versions if you don't mind losing BLE device support), and possibly iOS and Android if Xamarin works out.Turns out, this ended up being a pretty good idea, because I now have a basic system working that can communicate via json over websockets, to control the Fleshlight Launch, as well as gamepad rumble. I'm now working on getting a simple CLI and GUI together for it, as well as some documentation and tests, and I'm hoping to make a v0.0.1 release this week.
