It's been a little quiet around here lately, so I figured I'd share what's going on in development.- ET-312 Estim serial protocol support is now in the C# client. This allows users with ET-312 boxes to scale intensity based on input.

• .NET Standard conversion of the C# project is finished. This is a fancy way of saying we're getting closer to being able to use C# for mobile apps on Android/iOS. Our goal there is to have a Websocket Server App for phones, which will solve even more platform issues (we hope).

Here we go.https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/3lohva12t662uun2/artifacts/ButtplugNodeServer-1.0.9.7z

Please do not pass this URL around. This is not meant for general public consumption yet.

https://github.com/FredTungsten/ScriptPlayer/releasesScriptPlayer 1.0.3 was released this morning, now with Whirligig support! This means you can now use any buttplug compatible toy with a real VR Movie Player, versus our hacked together player in Syncydink that I still need to fix up.

I haven't checked with the Whirligig dev yet, but in testing we've had to run with the Beta version of Whirligig on Steam, so you may need to set the beta channel. There's info on how to use ScriptPlayer and Whirligig together at

Ok. Time for that part of the month where you ask questions and I answer.ASK.

There ya go. Proof of concept demo using the Launch with Win 7 on a laptop. No VM, no tricks, this is just normal ol' Windows 7 on a normal ol' laptop.I'm using the same Plugable dongle I recommend for Win 10 users. It just requires some different drivers to be installed.

Please do not pass this video around, as I don't want a ton of people poking me about this. Getting the proof of concept going was the easy part, getting the system to the point of being usable by others and ready for release is going to require more work.

Holy shit, the first Buttplug based stunt hack that didn't come from our own dev channels!A developer I used to work with on Rez Trancevibrator stuff a while ago (https://twitter.com/curious_jp)) posted the python script for this earlier today, after seeing the game at the BlushBox (http://blushboxgames.com/)) intimate games exhibition at PAX Australia. I pulled it and it pretty much just worked! There's more explanation in the video description on youtube.

I'll be making a longer video about how the script works soon, but just wanted to get a video demo up now 'cause HOLY SHIT! :D

Taking a shot at Win 7 support. Don't get too excited, it may take a while to make this anywhere near user friendly.

Ok, the survey has only been up a day, but the Windows 7 community has definitely been vocal. :)I've created a github issue for possible Windows 7 Support options at

While filming the Buttplug Websocket tutorial, I realized how painful it is to do the first SSL setup in the websocket server. On top of that, we're still not signaling to users what toys actually work with their setup.These are things I get lots of questions about, yet we haven't really been addressing those questions lately.

I'm trying to do some development planning right now, and I'd like some feedback on what'd you'd like to see improved if you use Buttplug/Syncydink/ScriptPlayer/etc..., or if you can't, why not.

SEE I TOLD YOU I'D GET BACK TO MAKING VIDEOS.Even if they are pretty spectacularly boring.

This is a quick (well it still took me like 6-7 hours between scripts, editing, etc :| ) video showing how to use the Websocket server. We've got a lot of UI needs to clean up, but we're having to operate on so many fronts right now that prioritization is difficult, so instead I'm just making videos to act as a patch until our UX sucks less.
