d/Dev Development Update - June 2025

Hello again wonderful beings.

I hope this past month has been kind to you, it has been decidedly middle-of-the-road for me.

Life progresses slowly, and the circumstances that make me unable to work on Hypno.exe remain for the time being. Progress has been made, but bureaucracy only moves at a singular pace, so for the time being I am still on hiatus.

That said, this month I did manage to pull together enough time to not only ensure ButtplugUE works with Unreal 5.6, but also made compiled builds for 5.1 through to 5.6, meaning it can now easily be used in Blueprint-Only projects. If you are a lewd game dev and want bluetooth sex toy support in your Unreal Engine game you should give it a look, and reach out if you have questions.

All in all, I am surviving, and your continued support is most welcomed.

If you are making cool Programs with Hypno.exe, I would love to see them (to help development, strictly professional), as would other users! The Hypno.exe Discord has a channel for requesting and sharing Programs (you can export them and upload them through Discord directly) and it would be amazing to see some of the thing people have created, even with the limited toolset at this time.

As always, please consider supporting development on either Patreon or SubscribeStar (or even a one-off on Ko-Fi). Every little bit helps both materially and psychologically. If that is not something you are able or willing to do, kind words through some social media platform are also always welcome and encouraging.

d/Dev April 2025 Development "Update"

Hello everyone, I hope April has treated you well!

Better than it has treated me at least; less than thrilling news this month.

For the next few months I will be pausing Paterson/SubscribeStar and scaling back work on Hypno.exe

Not forever! But for a while. Some rather unfortunate and most unpleasant circumstances have arisen in my life this year, and sadly my commitments and energy will be sorely needed elsewhere for the time being. Hypno.exe is regrettably low on my hierarchy of needs at this time.

This will be, at a minimum, around three (3) months, quite possibly more.

This is not to say development will stop entirely, however I cannot possibly maintain any regular release cadence, and as such cannot justify keeping any crowdfunding active.

Whether I make small releases during this period, or if I just save up for a big release upon my return, remains to be seen. I will most likely update ButtplugUE for Unreal 5.6 which will almost certainly release in that time as well.

I am always happy to hear from you all, and I will still be around on my various SNS pages, so feel free to reach out if the mood takes you.

Again, this is not "goodbye", this is "see you later".

So, see you later <3
