News and games

*blows dust off the mic* Does this thing still work?

Sorry for the lack of content here. I'm just bad at keeping up and learned stuff here and there to create something.

Well, that something should happen soon!

Currently I'm working on a game with a twist.

The game itself is pretty simple and a variant of the "frozen lake" game...

More tier changes and life updates

Hello folks,

sorry for the blackout.

First of all, I am going to update my tiers a little. Things will give you more reward per higher tiers and I am going to make a "thank you" tier.

Now to a few life changes though:

I moved my social presence mostly onto Mastodon!

You can find me mostly under @maxinered@queer.party (2018-09-23 13:47:08 +0000 UTC View Post

Tier changes

I renamed the lowest tier and added a new one.

All tiers rewards get reworked soon, so the new tier is just a placeholder for now.

More tier updates

Hey folks,

I made a few more changes to tiers and more will come soon-ish.

What I changed, is to make 'Become A Moo' more into an appreciation tier only, while kicking out the unfollow spy.

The unfollow spy just creates too many problems with privacy, so it was kicked out.

I hope you like the changes though!

With love

...

Pledge tier updates

Hey folks,

I'm currently updating pledge tiers, as I am about to add more services. Everyone who pledge before the change is of course automatically eligible for the new service, as soon as it is online.

Services planned are:

- an unfollow spy for Twitter, to combat anxiety on unfollows

- Alex, not completely defined yet, but will be a synth that learns yo...

Weekend updates

Hey folks,

I think a few more frequent updates would be good. Let me know if it gets too frequent though!

Currently I am working on rubyhexagon. It's an older project (started 2014) and a Ruby binding for the e621 API.

I'm re-vamping it, bring it to version 1.0.0, with a stable API, and optimize it for use with my other projects.

If y...

More updates

Hey folks,

I think a few more frequent updates would be great, so have another one.

Currently I am working on a few things. All of it is making my code into libraries and adding Discord as a back end.

The idea is to have several front-ends, like Twitter and Discord, where my synths can interact with.

The synths will be their own library. This me...

Anne and Beth (in depth explanation)

Hey folks,

you definitely saw the public post, so I skip to the more detailed stuff.

Short run down: Anne and Beth monitor interactions and use that data to what they post.

First of all, one question many ask: What are those emoji for?

They are there to show what categories that post falls in. Here is a run down of the current ones:

Category names mostly corre...

Anne and Beth update

Hello folks,

as you likely seen already, I added my art sourcing bots Anne (https://twitter.com/BerneseBotS) and Beth (https://twitter.com/GSDBotS) to my tiers.

The in detail run down of how they work is available from the $1 tier up, but ...

Patreon updates

Hey folks,

II want to let you know I'm not dead. I'm just very busy with live stuff.

That's not why I came here though. I wanted to let you know that I am working on something good and will update my pledge info soon (adding stuff to them).

So stay tuned <3

Update on things

Hey folks,

I took a journey to the fields of artificial intelligence, which explains the lack of updates through June.

I created a couple, which are used on furry images!

There are also news on the fennec project, as I am close to a final prototype.

Before I make that one, I am going to update perks and my website (https:/...

More steamy details about Fennec

Hey folks,

As promised, here more details about Fennec.

What I am planning, is to use an 8-pole low-pass filter (voltage controlled) and then feed the signal into a peak detector and integrator.

I want to make the sine into a cosine, so I get zero crosses on peaks. Then I want to use those zero crosses to track peaks much more tightly and so have better control over the pe...

Fennec updates (back to analog)

Hey folks,

Some updates on Fennec.

I had a few thoughts, after failed experiments. Everything summed up: The peak approach is rather "unreliable" and nothing for a polished product.

I also thought about FFT, but digital is just not my thing for this project and I dropped it again.
Now I'm back to analog and have an idea how to implement it better.

I'm not goin...

Steamy details about Zerda

I did some experiments yesterday and came up with a design for my Fennec.

I'm going to make it very simplistic and just couple the input to AC (because some audio outputs actually have DC voltage too and I need to get rid of that) and then use a low pass filter to get frequencies up to a certain one. The last step will be demodulating the resulting signal, which is just a fancy word f...

New project! (Vulpes Zerda, again)

Yeah, I know the name isn't new, but the project itself is, kinda.

First I moved the current project I had under "Vulpes Zerda" to "Vulpes Vulpes" and it will be a full on all-in-one vibrator.

For Vulpes Vulpes (Red Fox), I've ordered parts and the boards. Boards will arrive somewhere next month.

The new Vulpes Vulpes will be a bullet vibe only, but contain ever...

Update on projects

So, after getting the image stuff sorted out and letting it run on my server, I've gone back to my fennec (now red fox) and replaced the one part I wanted.

Now all I have to do is wait to get some money back and then I'm able to make another batch of prototypes! :D

Naming convention

For everyone who is interested in my naming convention, it is not random!

The convention is as follows:

First determine the general field the product will be in. The more pleasure and/or music based products have a carni-/onmivore family.

Projects designed for fursuits have a herbivore family addressed to them.

Each family has also assigned more detailed features.

Current work

So I am currently working on an algorithm to detect images posted and return a source link for it.

I'm trying to make it as robust as possible to detect even re-color changes or other changes (JPEG compression).

It runs kinda well so far. The RMSE calculation is too slow to work well, but it makes progress.

For those wondering, I take the center of an image and turn it into a 16x16x2...
