Log inπ Funscripts Are Here!
Hey there!
This one is huge. Funscripts are released! At least partially. I don't consider this a finished feature just yet, I have more things planned there, but for now it's time to test what's already in place. I'll be very happy if you can give me some feedback on how it works for you and whether it's easy enough to understand.
What this means for you
If you open a supported video that has a funscript available, you'll see a green message indicating it. Clicking the message lets you select a variant (there can be more funscripts for one video). Confirm the selection and you're good to go: just connect your toy like you normally would and play the video. The funscript silently follows along in the background.
No downloading anything, no file handling. This removes the last bit of friction with toys.
You can see all videos with available funscripts in the catalog here:
https://the-joi-controller.com/funscripts
https://the-joi-controller.com/funscripts
Obviously, there isn't much in there at the moment. But it's the same story as the video catalog... at the start there also wasn't much, so please be patient and give it some time. In the meantime, you can submit a video you'd like a funscript for.
How renting works πΌ
Currently only renting is available, because I am STILL looking for a payment processor and barely any progress was made there.
Renting works basically the same way video rental stores used to work back then... Wait, are you even old enough to remember physical video rentals? You know, the thing where you walk into a store, pick a movie on a disc, take it home, watch it, and return it afterwards, all for a fraction of the price of owning the movie? Funscript renting works in a very similar way.
As part of your membership, Funscript Points (FP) have started accumulating for you, and you can spend them to rent funscripts for a certain time.
At first I wanted to add this only to the Silver and Gold tiers, so they'd finally make a bit more sense (let's be honest, the additive benefits there are currently not that strong). But I decided to add it to all tiers, with only the amount differing:
- Bronze: 4 FP per month... I know, very limited, but remember it wasn't supposed to be there at all π
- Silver: 16 FP per month
- Gold: 32 FP per month
If you're a math freak, you might have noticed all the amounts are divisible by 4. That's because FP is granted weekly. In your profile you can see your current points and when your next refill happens.
Everyone gets 5 FP to start π
To get things running, everyone has been granted 5 FP. Yes, everyone, even free accounts. So go ahead and test how it works for you. And if you like the new feature, I'll be very happy if you decide to subscribe and support the project.
As for purchasing funscripts and actually owning your copy: that's currently blocked, because it needs the payment processor that seems near impossible to find. Hence the renting system for now.
One more toy control improvement
You now have the option to remember your connection method, so the extension no longer asks every single time you want to connect your toy. Just tick the remember checkbox at the very bottom.
Browser status
Not much progress this time. I ran into some technical difficulties that I need to untie first, and I was also focusing on improving my funscript workflow, so I can keep the same quality while making them much faster.
And I suppose that's pretty much it. Test those funscripts, spend your free points, and let me know how it goes!
Until we meet again!
