How invasive will implants be? Will we need a specialist to implant them for a fee?

afaik you will need to pay significant sums of money to have someone implant them in you, yes. They're meant to be reasonably rare remnants of a more technologically advanced past, and new ones can't be reliably built anymore so someone who still has the know-how to implant them will surely charge a premium.

GrimDark — Today at 8:43 AM

Masters of Raana Alpha 0.8 (Version A) has been released!

I didn't have time to finish the number of renders I wanted for this version. Aria has some basics but I'll release a large pic archive in a day or two, and update the 0.8 with the latest bugfixes, so expect 0.8b to be out on Thursday - if not already tomorrow.

Download links can be found in the subscribestar-tier4-6 channel here on Discord, and soon on SSA's pinned Tier4+ post as well.

Remember that this is an early Alpha version with several missing features. Suggestions on the new economy and slave control systems are much appreciated!

This version is NOT save game compatible! You need to start a new game!

8a- Is food from garden working correctly? I've got 1 slave. MC and slave on basic food setting. Garden fully upgraded. Burning through rations like an open can of Pringles.

Have you turned off "auto buy rations" in the Food control menu?

GD (about 0.8): " ... This version is NOT save game compatible! You need to start a new game!"

No fireworks, no standing ovations this time? Perhaps - just perhaps - there have been others like me who have let themselves be lulled to overconfidence with the earlier chances to continue playing from old saves. No problem and no empty bitterness. I got rid of more than 20 gigas of saves and a ridiculous amount of totally futile grinding. Time to take the lesson to my heart and finally find out how to properly cheat in games, I reckon. :)

This is specifically for the alpha build. Afaik the full, public release may be savegame compatible.

Unlikely, considering they're revamping shit. :whistle::coffee:
You can't load an old system on top of a new system and expect that to work, after all.

Also, the entire game is pretty much alpha stage.
One should play while understanding the risks that come with that.

I'm basing that statement on the admittedly shaky ground that I said it to someone else on Discord and Grim thumbs-upped me without correcting anything, so it's very possible. Grim has gone to great lengths for save compatibility in the past, including adding a built-in patcher for new/changed variables and such.

Well, perhaps.
In theory one could upload their save for the dev and he could fix the save itself then give back fixed version.
I know of one dev who been doing that, but they generally don't do that. :whistle::coffee:
Patcher... is a good idea actually. Basically, an automatic fixer. Can't be manually fixing everyone's saves after all. :ROFLMAO::coffee:

Grim will most likely have a patcher. He has consistently done it in the past, and has manually fixed savegame files upon request.

The only reason why I am not stating that he will FOR SURE have a patcher to update old savegame compatibility is because i am 10% thru the code looking for bugs and HHOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUCKBALLS he added soooo many new variables.

spent most of yesterday going thru auditing what my poor brain can understand.

hed hurtz. mouse hand hertz.

ShinCore — Yesterday at 11:36 AM
Everyone


GrimDark — Today at 11:26 AM
REGARDING CURRENT AND FUTURE 0.8 ALPHA VERSIONS:

The past two day's releases contain a huge number of bugfixes. They are not listed anywhere as I've done way too many tweaks/modification to keep track of everything.

I'll post a new html shortly that contain the newest fixes, which are also the most critical ones:

- Duplicated BrotherSlave.
- Duplicated Annex slaves.
- The Garden not producing Rations bug.
- The Arena Health/Tough trait bug.
- The Birthday bug.
- And lots more.

I'll be away with my ordinary (and less fun) job all day tomorrow, but Alpha 0.8b will be released on Friday. That version contains all of the above, plus everything that our diligent test server guys report tomorrow and on Friday. Also included are at least 20 new renders - Aria's full wardrobe, Caitlin's wardrobe (50-75%) and hopefully Aria's first sex scenes.

Alpha 0.8c goes live on Sunday or Monday and will contain a bunch of additional renders and bugfixes, as well as Caitlin's background story and unique dialogues.

Alpha 0.8d+ will include the Fear and Defiance systems, new punishment options, Aria's first quest and more details on slaves' birthdays. That/those versions are scheduled for next week or the week after that and will be the last updates before a public release.

A public release date is not yet set, however. I want to finish at least 80% of Aria's sex scenes before that, and make sure all systems are operating properly. I HOPE we'll see a public release by the end of this month.

Couple of bugs to report on 8B. Quest for auction says it takes 2,000 influence to access Crystal, but Guards let you in at 1500. I also duplicated Juno by accepting her into my service after finding her. I had 1 slave in household and 1 slave in annex. I received 1 Juno in House and another one in Annex. I sold 1 without affecting other one.

Yeah, I'm gonna start working on that quest soon and replace all the texts.

Also, the duplicate slave bug continued through to the 0.8b version as I forgot to update the html from my laptop. Lost some hours of work there but it should be all fixed in the latest MEGA link.
