Ah, and a sorry for those, who waited it for the beginning of this year... its a little bit late. :)

Any idea when this something else will be done?
Also good to see you're back.

It depends on my free time I can afford for this, but im lack of free time. But I will try to make it up quickly. I also like making quality stuff, so that can take some time, but not that much... :)

im willing to wait as long as the quality is good in the end

Some sort of AI would be great (something that makes the mistress look more real, instead of just software).
You could for example program in some cravings that increment on time and other factors and then trigger stuff or something.
ddome has some interesting features you might want to take a look at (aldo its very alpha and doesn't really work)

Im guessing this will be made with php and java, i suggest making it OOP and using pdo for the db and trowing in some jquery.

Good luck programming and looking forward seeing something in the future

I keep wondering why no one has started an open-source project like this... I mean, there are a lot of tech savvy guys around here, so why not come up with a flexible platform with basic and open web technologies up to todays standards?

Nowadays, I personally think it should be web-based and also with a web-service. Combine it with offering people a XAMPP-package for offline use as well and you've got quite the start.

Image how cool it would be if there was some interaction... e.g. failing in Milovana webteases costing you attitude points or getting you punished by this Virtual Mistress... or allowing people to somehow grant or deny you certain permissions...

There's been plenty of projects in the past, mine included, which all failed because they're too dependent on just one developer.

Good point Kenneth, i actually would do that if i wouldn't be programing 8 hours a day at work :P

All it really would take is a good (object orientated) base platform. As in a few core scripts, a script lib, and content scripts. That way the tech guys can work together and contribute lib and content scripts wish then could easily be put together.

Anyways if someone is looking into building something like that, i would be willing to write some php code for that

I'm also doing a lot of programming lately, hence I haven't started such a project myself either. But I'm sure there are a lot of people in a similar situation, and still willing to help, even if it's just a little bit.

PHP is open, very common... one could debate over the nature of every aspect (e.g. database? or still 100% file based? MySQL/MariaDB? PostgreSQL? ...? Or support for multiple types and output (would be useful if some data was accessible as JSON)?

PHP + HTML5, some BootStrap which would immediately allow for responsive design (mobile) and customized skins etc...

Kenneth, I saw you're talking about making scripts for VM.
Well, in the application, the point would be that there are no scripted stories, just 'random' control,
according to your likes, and your chosen mistress. You will be also able to customize your mistress,
so, it could happen, that people would be able to create uploadable 'mistress' settings, or sg similar.
For example, someone creates a cute 'daughter' as a mistress... or a furry pet, if you wish... you like it, and 'install' it, from that point you can customize her further.

About tech-part: Yes, its running on php/ajax/jquery(usual stuff), and mysql, and also html5, mobile friendly - Im making no shit. :)

But I dont wanna make it opensource, because the amount of spent hours working on it. :P (call me evil.:))

I know, I had a similar program years ago which combined both a personality (similar to VirtualMaster, with punishments, confessions, permissions) and sessions (similar to PCMistress). I'm not talking about the rather basic VirMst /VM/VirtualMaster program which hasn't seen new features in years and lacks many my program had.

Good to hear you're making it modern.

Closed source? I took the same approach with my program back then, because there was no support right from the start, so I never opened up the source either. I'd do it completely different now. Make it more reliable, work with others, so the project doesn't depend on one person anymore. Since I ended my project, I've seen at least 4 attempts at similar new projects, all IMHO failing due to using obscure programming languages, making it to difficult for non-tech savvy users to create content, too depending on one developer...

It's been in development since October, your version, and I'm sure you've already worked hard on it and all, I'm actually curious to see your progress by now, about half a year after the initial post? Any preview you might want to share?

Well, I still dont like to publish half-done stuff, but I will do a beta-testing for some people. :)
I have time to work in the evenings and on weekends. :P So... slowly, but it.ll be done.
So, with a customization function, its almost 'open-source' :) Bugfixing the engine is different. :)

I'm with Kenneth on this one.

I apologise for being very brunt, but too much have I seen several projects open on the Internet and announced to public forums as the next big thing, but kept the doors closed as much as possible - i.e. words were conveying the point, but I feel images speak a thousand words. Would it be too much at this stage for us to ask screenshots of the current build as to get more of a picture of how things are rolling?

Personally, I believe in making healthy competition - it gets ideas, features, and involves the community, and I also like being a part of communities like that. But as Kenneth also mentioned, relying dependently on a sole developer hampers this significantly - looking at say VirMst, or Sexscripts for example; Sure, the ideas are great, heck there have even been some really creative scripts, but because of its difficulty to get into, and because several people rely too much on Yahoo Groups to keep doors closed - albeit for spam purposes - it doesn't help in terms of giving something that people can readily work with, as such these places are fairly dead in terms of an active community.

I think that if you are able to present something that people can think "yes! I could totally work with this", then I already believe you're making good progress.

Anyway, good luck with the project, if you're looking for beta testers down the line, I'd be happy to take up on that if you so wish - though be it I'm not particularly active around Milovana just now, I'm sure I'd be able to fit around that.

if you need anything not programming related, maybe i (we?) can help

Also, did anyone check the "DDomme" software ? It's still very early development as the current released version doesnt work very well but the UI seems to have great potential. Google DDomme to check it

Bumping this to show some of us are still interested in this also if the creator has an update that would be nice.

Well..
looks like this wont "work", but good that you bumped it.
And thanks to sera that i can finally register/log in

So, im working in 3-shift for the next 3 1/2 weeks - after that i could watch if i could make something like this.
Of course this needs a long time to develop, but if i start it, i would at least give feedback whats working from time to time.
After this 3-shift stuff i have nothing to do for about 1 month, so i guess i could do something out of it.

We´ll see - ill probably make a new thread for this then.
