Collectively, I call the portraits I sell Thematic. And there's an update just now rolled out for them. You can get the updater from the store in-world or use the update checker that came with your portraits to get it. Either way, no rush.
Mostly systematic updates, namely to save processing time for both your place and my servers when no one's around to appreciate things. If no one's within 20 meters of the portrait, it'll go into a kind of "sleep" mode. Within a minute or so of someone being nearby, it'll all start up again.
I do have plans on integrating this stuff a lot more closely into MicrObey in an upcoming release. That should be kind of fun.

Training Sessions in MicrObey
The question's been asked: so what does a training session look like in MicrObey? For demo purposes, here's a pretty spiffy guide (as of MicrObey 200411.1).
So you have your HUD on. It looks something like:
OK the HUD is the MicrObey bar up at the top. To the right, there's a power button. For now, click on the MicrObey HUD bar. This is going to want to take you to a web page with a pop up box:
Click on the "Go to page" button. You're going to be taken to your MicrObey Subject Home.
That's a lot of stuff! Look to the left side in the "Train" box. Right at the top is "Hypnotize". Let's click on that. We should see a page like:
Rock on. Let's go over this one by one, for the un-initiated.
Induction & Awakening defines what gets used to "induct" and "awaken" the subject. Usually used to relax and take the subject in to trance and then bring them back from trance. Usually. This is all content available in-world. You can get more.
Trainings. We can do up to 3 trainings here. Trainings are just what they sound like. This is the content used to train a subject. There's a vast array of content available here, from bimbo to sissies and beyond. More's coming all the time.
Subject gender & name. In the induction, awakening, and training scripts, there are placeholders for what to call the subject. I think what I plugged in is pretty damned descriptive enough for an example. :)
Trainer title & name. Ditto here. What to call the person doing the training.
Spiral. I call these spirals, but what they really are in my mind is "training enhancements". A lot of the "spirals" aren't really spirals at all, but animated images with strong enforcement. Again, more of these available in-world at the store.
Themes. Everyone has their favorites. With MicrObey, you can select them all, if you like. You're not restricted to just one theme. Just use your shift key when clicking on what you want.
Now I'm going to mention content here. The content offerings available are for the subject AND for the person starting the training. See my brief explanation of this for more.
OK so we're set. We have our stuff filled out looking good.
Now click on the blue "Start Hypnosis Training Session" button. It's going to ask you if you're sure about this. Once you do, if the subject is online, it will tell you that the training has started. Rock on.
Now what does this look like to the subject? Here's some snapshots from early on in the induction:
Some things going on here. The black side bars, spiral overlay, theme, progress bar, subliminals, training text … These are all customizable from the web. You can change colors, transparency, and other junk. In fact, some of these have been customized in the snapshots. In the center is the training. You'll notice the subliminals around the viewing area. As the training progresses, the subliminals progresses, as well, building into something of a continuing story. The green power button at top can be touched at any time to end the trance, but you suffer a zen penalty for doing so.
There's a lot of other crap to explore here, but I wanted to show primarily the process for doing a training session. But some parting thoughts:
- Your settings always persists across MicrObey updates.
- Your content is always available across MicrObey updates.
I had more thoughts, but I'm all thoughted out. ;)

MicrObey 200411.1 Released
New release of MicrObey is out. You can get the update via the normal mechanisms (redelivery or wait for the update to prompt you).
Most of this update has to do with internal workings, but the most visible part is the MicrObey Subject Training Page. Easy access to everything for both subject and owners.
Rock on and stuff. I hope.

Weekend Warrior Update 2020/04/05
From the trenches …
I'm working on pushing out some pretty major updates to the portal, building on what I mentioned earlier, but with lots of new additions.
The most visible is going to be restrictions on things. Owners can now set up things like RLV, subliminals, devotions, and so on to disallow the subject from being able to change them. This comes in super handy for RLV, but not being able to stop or change subliminals and devotions seems kind of fun, too.
There's some other minor things that are foundational for upcoming ideas and changes.
This may also precipitate an update to MicrObey, as well, even though there's only been minor updates (some big fixes surrounding getting a new url from SL and throttling, but also taking advantage of the new updates to the portal.
Needless to say, a helluva weekend warrior binge. I'm officially brain dead now.

MicrObey Coming Server Updates
Important for all MicrObey and MicrObey Owner HUD users
I'm working on some updates to fix some small glitches that were bothering me. In the process of that, I'm migrating functionality from one provider to another as a cost-saving measure (yeah, I got a bill that didn't make me happy). This means some loss of setup and session information:
- Profile
- Broadcasts
- Speech
Just minor things. Most of you won't even notice, but I will. So I'm sharing just in case. All you need to do is hit the portal and set it back up.
On the plus side, subjects don't have to be online now for:
- Broadcasts
- Speech
- Subliminals
- Gallery
- RLV setup
I'm a happy guy about that.
Since this is an official weekend warrior thing, I'll be rolling this all out in the next day or so.

MicrObey Portal Updates
As of this morning, owners can modify subject subliminals without the subject being online. Broadcasts are next on my agenda. Rock on.
