So, we've had the Secure Identification Chip, and Nailz are out there too. But they aren't the meat and potatoes.
The Neural Processor is now available ICly.
Additionally, the SK Left CyberEye and SK Right CyberEye are ready to go.
Now, there isn't much these particular wares will do by themselves, but without them, I can't get to the fun shit.
I've got a Heads Up Display module working for the cyber eyes, so it'll be ready pretty quickly. Then your neural processor will have somewhere to send output. ;)
These should be pretty straight forward after that:
- TruSight Targeting Chip & Wrist Socket
- Thermographic Vision Module
- Chip Socket
So, fun is in the works.

Minor Step Backwards for the moment.
Until certain components of the game can be upgraded, the SIC will not be a 'reusable' implant. This means that on uninstall, the chip will be destroyed. Additionally, you will not drop your SIC on your corpse when you die, as you might other cyberware.
The SIC will be made reusable again, once the needed code is upgraded to support them properly.
By Johnny at Feb 14, 2008 6:49 PM
Hey, so while your down there messing with SIC code...think it might be linked to lots of things. A digital footprint is a beautiful thing.
And hey! Five steps forward, one step back...ain't that big of a deal. Seriously, this is fucking awesome! If I had money, I might make the sindome group a valentine.
So here's a poem.
By ReeferMadness at Feb 14, 2008 7:19 PM
Part of why I had to disable the reusable SIC is because it IS linked into so much shit. It just needs to be patched in a few places before killing your enemies lets you steal their old SIC as easily as it would be. :)
By Johnny at Feb 14, 2008 7:21 PM
That was a fantastic poem. <3

Our first functional injectable cyberware is now available in game.
Muscle Graft I is a 'nanogenic culture' of little tiny machines that infest your body to artifically cause your muscles to grow.
There is no way to remove the 'implant', cause its just an injection.
The effects of the injection will take nearly 24 hours to fully take hold and it'll provide some interesting RP while its doing so.
Enjoy!
By Johnny at Feb 14, 2008 9:17 PM
Well look at that. A cyberpunk RPG finally lands the 'cyber' part. :)
Great job, J-man. Keep it up.
I can haz real decking maybe?
By Lotus at Feb 15, 2008 7:20 PM
Our 2nd injectable implant, Synaptic Stimulus I is now available. It infects your body, increasing the speed at which signals pass through your nerves, making you faster.
Enjoy.
By Johnny at Feb 16, 2008 12:41 PM
A word of warning. Too much cyberware / bioware negatively impacts your character's psychology. As you get more shit implanted, you start to look down on lesser humans, seeing them as weak and soft fleshbags, ripe for the abuse they deserve.
In the most severe cases of this problem, called Psychophysical Disassociation Syndrome (which should be documented on the grid - *GM hint*), you'll violently strike out at your friends, lovers and pets.
Your friendly ripper doc can tell you if you've got this terrible affliction, but there is no easy cure - tough choices will have to be made.
By Johnny at Feb 16, 2008 12:47 PM

VS Nanosurgeons I is now in game. It's solution of nanomachines stay suspended in your blood stream, effectively stopping you from bleeding to death. Unfortunately, they do not replenish themselves, so if you bleed too much, they'll run out. Another injection of them will be needed if this happens.
By Johnny at Feb 17, 2008 1:09 AM

By Johnny at Mar 26, 2008 10:44 AM
I changed some of the code underlying basic cyberware functionality. If you find your ware not functioning as it used to (giving it a command and nothing happening), give us a @bug on it, so I can look into it. I don't expect it to show up, but I may have missed a line or two of code.
By Johnny at Mar 26, 2008 12:59 PM

Tired of failing to understand mixers and their mixmash? Have a doc implant your cybernetic ear with one of Saedor Krupp's Universal Translator Chips and never worry about them talking about you in ... in front of your face.
Available now in Silver, Gold and Platinum editions.
By Johnny at Mar 26, 2008 5:55 PM
Those of you who have previously considered some cyberware, but been told by their doc that their chance of contracting PDS was too high, rejoice! The cost to your humanity imposed by several wares (some of them critical) have been reduced and you should consult your doc once again to see if you're better eligible for an implant or two.

Warez Request:
New Light Media Join forces with SK to bring you even closer to the grid. That's right, stop lugging around your rigs and e-note devices. With the NodeSurfer 4000
+ cerebral implant, you can surf the grid in amazing handsfree fashion. When used inconjuction with a memory augmentation device, you can even write, store, and print any publication you see fit!!*
* Printing capabilites require compatible E-Print device, and wrist socket.
+ Anyone found using a modded NodeSurfer 4k will be Judged.
By Tool at Mar 29, 2008 1:46 PM
Question about augmented memory and skillsofts.
Lets say that in a classic Keanaeu Reeves moment, you get a Martial Arts Skillsoft and then say, "I know Kung Fu!"
Well you demonstrate your kung fun for many moons in the dome taking some beatings, but holding your own and you don't die. Then you go clone. And then some one shows you GunFu. Well GunFu trumps KungFu in this scenario and one kaBOOM! later, you're lying in a vat of goo. What happens.
Obviouslly you lose the skillsoft, physically, and the slot. But are any of these warez, DNA augments? And if when cloning, are said DNA augments cloned as well? (Unlike genetic mods (purr, lizard)). should those mods transfer in a clone since they mutate the genetics....
But I digress, when you wake up do you retain ANY knowledge of the skill you mastered for so long. Does your body and mind retain any of that ability? It would seem that if you say forced a language skillsoft upon yourself for long enough, you would eventually be able to not need it.... but, thats just my opinion. These things *could* promote learning of the skills they provide.
Thoughts?
Discuss.
By Tool at Mar 29, 2008 2:09 PM
You get UE for a reason. While your doing things with your fancy skillsoft, put the UE towards it.

Ok socket heads. Now, if you take a combat hit to the head thats got a decent amount of damage behind it, it'll knock a chip right out of your socket. Careful. :)
By Johnny at Apr 6, 2008 9:42 PM
I don't think a quickterm cyberware application makes any sense. The grid is low-level...the ultimate display of cyberware functionality would be the eventual implementation of the matrix and matrix-cyberware devices. In the near to distant future. :beatnik:
By ReeferMadness at Apr 7, 2008 8:06 AM
Ok if what tool was saying was when you die do you get to keep your skills with a skillsoft? I actually agree with Johnny. BUT.... What if you have injections like a muscle graph or nanosurgens. Do they stay in you DNA when you update with kind of Ware? Another thing I've been trying to ask.. but never got around to it. If you clone yourself with maybe Nailz, Skillsoft, Neural proccesor blah blah. All those things are lost forever and handed down to the chummer who killed you? Or do you get to keep those things.. maybe they are insured by SK if you die You get... another.. one?
Well.... whatever.
By Ihasamoney at Apr 8, 2008 5:09 PM
Sure, it'd be great to keep your tech but umm...No. No. No. Cybernetics you definitely don't keep, why would a corporation wanna insure you when they could just sell the crap to you again? Biological modifications could make sense to be kept but I also see this as not happening...considering the cost, its like...nah, doesn't make sense. Its cyberpunk, mano. When you lose...YOU FUCKING LOSE.
"And to think, someone's running around out there with my Studdley DoRight."

As for the translation chips, recently got one, yet I'm not sure it's working like it's supposed to. I was already fluent in English, and being only one ear was modified I figure I wouldn't have any problems understand English still but I do. It seems to have upped the other languages but dropped my primary language down to the same level. Supposed to work this way?

hey guys, I've had problems with softs disappearing, I didn't understand how they worked at first, which was my bad, but then I slotted, unslotted, then reslotted the softs and bam, gone. I @bugged it before you say anything, just wanted to see if anyone else had problems. oh also
