LordJerle Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 Whoremaster is an entirely community driven brothel management sim. It's free to play (again, community driven), with the ability to create and add girls at will. Development isn't what it once was, as of late, but they're still making releases. You can check it out at http://pinkpetal.orgThe latest release is in the general discussion and downloads thread.

LordJerle Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 The site seems to be down at the moment. I don't know when it'll be back up.
sora3 Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 I have the last beta release here. But I'm a bit hesitant in posting this as it is their work and not wanting to set up a showdown with them ATM.
LordJerle Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 Send a PM to DocClox on here. Pretty sure it'll be OK, but he's one of the main contributors. EDIT: Site's back up
Froggy Posted December 6, 2011 Posted December 6, 2011 They need to find a way to convert this into a flash game. Why? Because right now it is totally dependent on finding outsources hentai pics for the girls, and they rarely match up. But in a flash format they could easily add their own "paper doll" art and let it randomize/customize the girls as needed & without needing any outside artwork.

There are dozens of girl packs on the PPG forum as well. There's even a custom tool to make it simpler to set up the xml formats. Adding new girls is not a problem.
Presto Posted December 8, 2011 Posted December 8, 2011 Any where I can find vids/pics of what this game is about? Sounds like a lot of words to me and while thats good I do appreciate a strong visual aspect to my games. Sounds interesting but I kinda want to take a look at the interface first.

Well, based off of my first 20 min of play, the visual element comes close to Slave Maker, imo. There's a decent gui and mostly unique images for most different characters. It seems to involve more management elements that go beyond sex, from what I can tell. I haven't played much, so I'm not the best judge.

[/quote'] The way it's set up now, so long as you're handy with xml, you can tweak the UI to whatever your heart's desire may be, as well import custom girls. It's an open source project, so if you wanna port it over to flash, that's no problem, but you'd lose a lot of the functionality within the design in the process.
ReMeDy Posted February 4, 2012 Posted February 4, 2012 So I gave this a shot. I prefer Slave Maker a lot more. Several criticisms I have about Whoremaster: 1.) It suffocates the player in a ton of window navigation. What's worse, the interface seems to vary too wildly from window to window. What this game needs is a consistent panel devoted to the interface, similar to Slave Maker. This way the eye doesn't have to travel so much around the screen finding what to interact with. 2.) It's very jarring how the slave portraits keep changing. I don't mind the game using outsourced images, but it needs to settle on what it wants to use. 3.) You can't edit your protagonist (as far as I know). Part of the fun of Slave Maker is selecting your own character's gender, temperaments, stats, and the feeling of increasing in power/knowledge. In WhoreMaster, you're only increasing external elements (ie. slaves, your brothel, dungeon, etc.) For a while, I didn't even know if my protagonist was a man or a woman! It's only until one of my slaves mentions me as "he" that I guess I'm a man. 4.) It's no longer being developed. Last Edit was December 23, 2010?... Yup, it's dead. I hear people talking about a Whore Master II, but as far as this first iteration of Whore Master I, it looks dead to me.

I hear people talking about a Whore Master II, but as far as this first iteration of Whore Master I, it looks dead to me. [/quote'] As a doornail, I'm afraid. I rather lost interest after a nasty row with a couple of forum members who had some strong opinions about what I was and was not allowed to do as a developer. Necno was pursing a commercial project and embroiled in RL issues. So yeah, dead. That doesn't mean it's not a fun game though - just not one likely to evolve any further. On the bright side the WMII guys look keen and organised, so maybe we'll see a resurgence. It'd be nice to be able to play the game again. 1.) It suffocates the player in a ton of window navigation. What's worse' date=' the interface seems to vary too wildly from window to window. What this game needs is a consistent panel devoted to the interface, similar to Slave Maker. This way the eye doesn't have to travel so much around the screen finding what to interact with. [/quote'] I didn't really find that, but then I always used the keyboard shortcuts, so I probably wouldn't. It's fairly easy to re-skin the windows for people who want a more intuitive layout. It wasn't entirely practical to do that while the game was under development, but now it's more or less static an improved layout mod could be useful. 2.)

[/quote'] Well, you can easily change the girl definitions to show just one, but I think most players liked the fact that the game could show a number of different pictures. Certainly the girlpack compilers went out of their way to supply multiple images wherever possible. Different strokes and all that, I suppose... 3.)

It's only until one of my slaves mentions me as "he" that I guess I'm a man. [/quote'] That was one of the things I wanted to address as a developer. The trouble is that a very vocal minority want to keep the game as a glorified porn browser, and I decided it wasn't worth the earache I was getting. When the critique of your design decisions extends to include speculation concerning your penis size, you have to ask yourself if the rewards are worth the grief. All that aside, if you haven't already, take a look at Otherworld. That was designed to hit a middle ground between Slavemaker and Whoremaster. Strictly limited numbers of girls, but you get to spend more quality time with each of them. It tries to offer the best from both games, and largely succeeds, I think.
ReMeDy Posted February 5, 2012 Posted February 5, 2012 Heyaz, I didn't know you made it! Since you're here then, I do want to say I appreciate all the effort that went into the game. The game looks very ambitious with its plethora of windows and functionality. As a new player, I just had trouble getting accustomed to the navigation. I played Slave Maker for so long that I walked into this game with certain expectations, so having to adjust those expectations was kind of a let-down, but I can tell other people love it, so that's what counts. Considering how much time you invested in Whoremaster, you're going to rock Skyrim's creation kit .

I refactored a lot of code, added XML configuration files and girl definitions, and tidied up a lot of stuff. But yeah, I did put a lot of work into WM. And thank you!

WM is the best ero/eco/sim out there. Shame that it got dropped. I was looking forward to your implementation of new facilities for it. Really shame that it didn't worked out.
hewhocumsbynight Posted October 7, 2014 Posted October 7, 2014 Wow, this place has been dead for quite some time! Well, as a member of PinkPetal and a devoted player of WM, I'm happy to announce that the interening two years have seen a great leap forward in terms of content, with a new project with a far larger number of options then WM original and an active support community! We are now at http://www.pinkpetal.org/ and the most recent version can be found at http://www.pinkpetal.org/index.php?topic=3446.0 and custom girl packs can be downloaded at http://www.pinkpetal.org/index.php?topic=1004.0 , http://www.pinkpetal.org/index.php?topic=982.0 , http://www.pinkpetal.org/index.php?topic=1227.0 , or many other places in the User Mods board.

Still tends to crash when you have 500+ girls. I have the WM AGL full on my permanent seed list, though.

On the other hand, until the last update, I had frequent problems.
ds64 Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Just 150 girls and it's already crashed in the next week option. I can't play my saves anymore... Holy.. shit... 10GB only for the girls content???
hewhocumsbynight Posted October 8, 2014 Posted October 8, 2014 Are you using the latest Crazy/Aveojoey version, Devilsnake?
LordJerle Posted October 8, 2014 Author Posted October 8, 2014 I'm using 6.00.1... Quick check shows I'm one version behind >.>
