CyberMistress

Basic information
CyberMistress was a program that combined most features of both PCMistress, which was developed for sessions, and VirtualMaster (development on hiatus), which was developed for 24/7 control.

It also included novelties such as keeping a blog within the program. New features that were exclusively available in CyberMistress include negotiations and the Mistress's mood.

Website closed its doors in 2011, shortly followed with a redirection to Milovana website.

Target group
CyberMistress was initially created for subs who can't find a dominant or who are too shy to explore their BDSM preferences, but it is also used by dominants as an additional training instrument. The program could be customised to suit your needs and there was also a whole range of custom content available at the CyberMistress website.

Custom Content
About 50 scripts (routines) were delivered and published on the main website. Most of them shared thise characteritics : quite well written in english, inducing some fetishes (crossdressing, exhibition, etc.), generally for men, with a predicted duration of 10 to 45 minutes. It combined the two varieties of scripts : sessions and 24/7 control.

There was also a tool, the Milovana Converter, which allows you to convert teases from Milovana (online webteases) so they can be ran offline in the CyberMistress program instead.

History and codenames
Development started around September 2005. It is a spare time project that was maintained by Kenneth Lejeune, who is the only programmer.

Codename Kala The first real codename that was used for a major update for CyberMistress, was Kala. It is a Hawaiian name which means 'Princess'. This major update had two phases: half of the original code was rewritten in order to boost performance and making new implementations easier. It marked the first major, unique features of CyberMistress: her mood (not to be confused with your attitude points) and negotiations, an option which allows sub to negotiate about assignments and punishments in order to get an alternative.

Codename Freya Freya is the name of the last major update, released in 2010. Freya refers to the Goddess of Beauty (Norse mythology), which is a wink at the skinning feature. It added a few features, including some timers and skins.

Platform
CyberMistress was a free and closed source software developed for the Windows platform, in VB.

The latest version is definitely compatible with Windows XP, vista and 7, but it could work with previous Windows versions as well.

Despite several requests, there will be no versions for other platforms such as Linux. Users have tried to run it on a virtual machine with variegating success.

Official tools
Script Manager A tool which was developed to import, export and restore scripts. Since there are very few scripts and possibilities with this tool are limited, it is barely used.

Script Editor The editor mainly serves to help users who already know the syntax. There is syntax highlighting and a function to validate the content. Code Snippets allows the user to quickly insert a bunch of blocks. There are also buttons to list several things used in the script (pictures, media, flags, values,...)

A more user-friendly Script Editor with both very basic and advanced users is a work in progress.

Milovana Converter A tool to convert non-Flash teases from Milovana.com to a CyberMistress session.

WLM Plugin There were some work for a script for the MsgPlus! add-on for Windows Live Messenger. It was never released. It would allow the Dominant to retrieve information from CyberMistress and launch a session.
