This is an update with a few upgrades, improvements and bugfixes.

• - new, improved water
  
• - new transition into hub scene for increased visual comfort
  
• - new visual "red space", which is inspired by "Ganzfeld" experiments.
  
• - Visual quality of hub scene slightly improved and optimized for the different platforms

• - Session info showed wrong, often shorter, session length for imported sessions
  
• - Library stopped working if a corrupted session file was encountered
  
• - in-session-menu positioning was not nicely vertical
  
• - pointer was often behind GUI

Thanks to the people who reported the problem. Should work fine now again.

Fixed a bug that could stop bundled hypnosis session prematurely. That is all.

This update was planned for the end of 2020, but holiday stress delay happened.

Here's what's in the new version:

Features

• Remembers preferred spirals for each session now
  
• new Spatializer (can be tested in bundled hypnosis sessions)

Important Fixes

• Session audiofiles not having 44.1KHz samplerate could cause playback problems
  
• Pointer was not on GUI but behind UI-Elements

Summer was very busy and the pandemic did not really help. Since 1.2.2 there are mostly bugfixes and technical improvements under the hood. But I also added a new Mind Massage called "Sauna", which is nearly half an hour long. As thew name suggests it should give you a wonderful time and leave you without cares and worries. As with all content, feedback is very welcome. Speaking of your feedback, I will soon re-create the hypnosis sessions, meaning I will overhaul the text scripts and have them re-recorded.

You should also check out the new spiral preview in SessionMaker 1.3, it's a step towards a customizable spiral editor. I hope it helps all the creators to choose which visual effect to use.

Demo versions will be updated over the next 24 hours.

This is a quick update to let you know that version 1.0.4 of MMM has been uploaded to all platforms and should arrive on your devices soon if it hasn't already. This update has minor improvements and also fixes a few more problematic bugs.

Fixed Bugs
- Sessions using MP3 files were not working on certain devices
- Sessions that had no audio file or textscript did not run properly
- corrupted or otherwise not readable sessions could be imported and break SessionLibrary

Also, SessionMaker has been updated to let you set a duration for files that do not use an audio file or a textscript. You can download the updated SessionMaker from here[heptamind.com] (I'll be including it in Steam soon).

If nothing critical is found the next update should be v1.1 later this month. Wish me luck!

Here's a little heads-up on what is coming next to the Mind Massaging Machine. Due to several technical overhauls the list of new features isn't very long this time.

For v1.1 the following things are planned:

Sitting or laying down?
I know a lot of people want to use MMM in a bed or a recliner instead of just standard sitting position. The main menu will give you the possibility to set or quickly change in what position you want to be in. Positions of the menus and the spiral orientation will change accordingly for comfortable use.

Better session info screen
The session info screen is very limited right now. Tihs will be overhauled and will provide a clearer overview of the session. There will be more space for thee description, length and used features will be shown.


You might be curious what other things are planned. While there is no roadmap for these things and I cannot possibly say when these features are coming, here's a selection of stuff I want to add to MMM:

• More complex and interactive sessions
  
• Spiral editor
  
• GIF support
  
• Support for peripherals like Muse or MindWave EEG sensors
  
• Improved session importing and library management
  
• Third party Content Creator session library access
  
• Guidance mode (Authorize with and connect to another MMM user to supervise and adjust a session in real time)
  
• And more 🙂
