Standards are different today and it'd require a small team of artists who could actually make it work. Slave Maker's biggest problem- other than being made in Flash- was the simple fact that it was just ripping people off left and right in terms of using art without permission and without compensation.
I think it'd be great to make a modern version of it but it'd virtually require funding and it'd almost immediately lead to a host of problems between making your characters legally distinct from the IP's they're knocking off but not so different that you lose the effect, and some kind of contrivance to keep payment processors happy.
Either that or a highly competent AI engineer who could build up a series of AI 'personalities' that spit out similar but artistically distinct artwork for each character.

In "system" menu there should be a option "complete training" . At end of training slave will be deliver to owner.
After defeating lady Grey the last time, I cant see her like the rest of minor slaves, is it game bug, or just my bug? I mean I can interact with her like with other slaves, but no image is displayed, only background.

Just my personal opinion. This game is not for everyone nowadays but keep in mind this game is VERY old. It is as far as i can see one of the oldest game you can encounter on this website (do not be fooled by the date of creating this thread as this game came out around 13-15 years ago).
I understand it might feel repetitive but you can
- Play (and collect) many different Slaves
- You can choose your gender (also different gender of your Slaves)
- Get different Endings depending on your choices, depending on your Slaves etc
- Find different location (also "hidden"/limited location depending on some Slaves.
- Increase difficulty (there is Easy, Normal, Hard and i believe there is harder one)
- You can choose a different mode.
- Dnt collect as many Slaves as you can and try to get bad events (especially the tentacle one) as often as you can

A lot of the problem is that slave maker was made for an internet otaku audience circa 2004-ish. Younger Gen X'ers and elder millennials. Consequently you get a ton of characters that would have made sense at the time from properties like Ah! My Goddess! and Tenshi Muyo.
As a result a lot of the plundered artwork used for it is....dated. Not bad, per say, but something made to be effective on the kind of bandwidth a 56k modem might provide. Or, if you splurged, and lived in the right places, a fancy DSL line. And it was meant for the display ratio and resolution you'd have on a CRT monitor.
There was also plain old bloat- the developer was super ambitious, as is often the case with fan eroge, and over estimated their interest in continuing to work on the game.
If someone were to do a re-re-(re?)-make it'd probably require the ability to save templates (so it automatically goes through a set routine instead of making you click 10 extra times) and, to repeat myself, a bigger variety of art. You kinda accepted that there'd be a lot of repetitive gameplay back in the day because that was the norm but repetitive gameplay + repetitive art isn't good design these days.
The game can certainly feel repetitive, back when I played it this was mainly due to a lot of slaves being copies of each other without anything special. Not that bad in the start with packs 1 and 2, but as more packs were released the slaves lost all uniqueness. There's only minor stat differences between say Eri and Reima as an example.
So to me the fun was trying out the slaves that had special training or stories, so it felt like you didn't repeat the same training all the time with every slave.
Also had a lot of fun going for all the different Bad Endings, some of them were really good, both general and slave specific.
And certainly a product of its time in the anime / otaku era it was made.
Would be fun to see a modern take of this game. I would imagine they would make it easier to mod in new characters, only saw a few of those back in the days.

Open ended additions were part of the problem. If you actually dig up- assuming they can even be found anymore- the original builds of Slave Maker 1 and 2 you'll find they were much more quality over quantity. Inviting anyone and everyone to make additions with no gatekeeping and no screening for quality and standards is how you end up with 100 slaves with nothing to make them distinct.
I'd love to take a crack at making an SM game but I'm simply too busy at the moment and as I outlined elsewhere, unless you could find someone fairly skilled with AI art generation, you'd need a small fleet of contributing artists who could agree on loose art direction so that you avoid some of the worst sins of the original products.
Yeah, burying the core game experience in a bunch of paths that didn't really go anywhere and didn't do anything new was a mistake. There's no pay-off when you're treated to the same generic photos and complete the same routine with a slightly different slave for the 10th time.

I remember playing this decade ago, can someone remind me how to unlock one NPC.
You can take a walk to her any time you can and she can increase your height, penis size, boob size and i believe she can even change gender. For whatever reason when i downloaded latest version back then that NPC dissapeared.

I think that's the one in the forest, right? The potion making one? It's been years, but I think there was a slave that unlocked it for you, and ... IIRC if you encountered her often enough it would perma-unlock.
Don't pin me to it, tho. I'm not 100% sure. Heck, I'm not even 60% sure.

Yeah i know what you mean, sadly nope there's the another one in the city. All i can remember NPC was a girl, you can fuck her and have 3 option increase height penis size or lower it and you can ask to change gender but you can only do it once per game.
How i got her 10 years ago i have no clue and what version that was i think 3.3.0 or 3.2.8 not sure. Oh also i had like bunch of slaves bought and raised if you can say that and reputation was above 40.

Oh, I remember this game from around 2015 or so. It was a fun game until Flash Player went away. Glad to see it on F95, but I'm trying to get it working again. Additionally, is there a walkthrough for it and a way to earn gold quickly? I know there was a mod back in like 2017 to use to get fast gold, but now that Flashplayer is gone, it's kind of hard to get it working again.
The dev said that Morrigan's files were clean, back when he was active. It's probably a false positive.

Yeah, it's a false positive alert, and you can try the game out. Sadly, the walkthrough for the game is no longer available, so trying to play the game and getting the different ending is challenging, but most of the other content remains the same.
You can find the old wiki information from Otakubell.com on the Wayback Machine. I haven't found a page that isn't on there yet, though it can load a bit slow.

I really wanna play this but like, i can not get it to run for the life of me. I don't know if its because I'm on Wins 11 or whatever but rather disappointing to not get it to work despite all the fixes i tried. Forever stuck in the waiting screen.
