Hey there!
This one is big, especially if you're into toy control. And it starts with something important.

If toy control never worked for you... read this ⚠️

There was a pretty important bug hiding in the toy control feature the entire time, and I only noticed it now. It mattered how you selected the funscript. If you clicked the blue area and picked the file through the file picker, everything worked correctly. But if you drag and dropped the file instead... nothing. It loaded the file, you could connect the toy, but when the action was supposed to happen, it just did not control anything.
And here's the thing: there was no way anyone could guess that selecting the same file through the file picker instead of drag and drop would fix it. So if you tried the toy control in the past, concluded it simply doesn't work, and moved on... it was most likely this. The bug is now fixed, so I'd really encourage you to give it another shot. It works. For real this time. 😅

JOIGang partnership: Phase 1 complete 🤝

The first phase of the JOIGang partnership is done! What does that mean, you ask? Right now, two major things.
Memberships are unified. You can subscribe to JOIGang through their website or their Patreon, and if you go for the Souteneur or Sugar Daddy tier, you get the full TJC experience as well. Souteneur gives you the Silver Supporter tier, Sugar Daddy gives you Gold Supporter.
And the best part? This is the standard, full TJC experience. You can use TJC on every other site it supports. It's not scoped to the JOIGang site only.
Direct funscript support. Yes, you heard that right. TJC will now look for available funscripts on the JOIGang site, and if it finds some, it just lets you select the one you want and that's it. You connect your toy as usual and it just works. No friction, no downloading anything. Simply enable TJC in the player and link it through the JOIGang site.

My own funscript maker 👀

Aaaaand speaking of funscripts in general... the JOIGang funscripts are pretty much a small sneak peek of how I imagine things will work once my own funscripts become a thing.
I am now experimenting with the creation process to make it a bit more bearable. The Satori Komeiji funscript I made took me over 8 hours. For a 5 minute video. Which is ridiculous... So... Behold!
My own funscript maker! I can tune it however I like, so I can work faster and more precisely. The next video I experimented with was about 8 minutes long and took me just about 6 hours. So there is definitely progress. 😅

Settings polish

I also made some visual tweaks in the extension settings. The UI felt a bit messy, so I made adjustments to properly fit the new SubscribeStar option and added some nice animations. I know it's quite pointless, but it makes the extension look much more polished and matured.

Survey reminder 📋

Before we finish, I'd like to remind you about the survey for the default sites in the JOI browser. Unfortunately, not many people contributed so far. Maybe it was a mistake to combine it with the general audience survey, as that might have scared some people away. So let me clarify: everything beyond the site questions is optional. If you don't want to share anything extra, just answer the first two questions, scroll to the very bottom and submit. If you haven't participated yet, here's the survey:
And if you did... thank you very much!

What's next with JOIGang

As I mentioned in the previous post, the partnership has multiple phases, and that still stands. This time though, there will be a really big pause. The next thing we're preparing is really big and very ambitious, so there is no release schedule. My best estimate is somewhere around Q2 2027, but who knows...
Anyway, that's it for now. Thanks as always for your support!
