Suggestions for "Artificial Being" Harlots
Added 2021-01-14 13:47:06 +0000 UTCI keep saying I'm going to do this, and then never get around to it, so, let's throw this open, so I can never get around to writing and implementing the ideas until 2022.
Just kidding... I hope!
The new NPC was originally designed as a way to allow players to temporarily alter their stats to get past harlots that cared about certain stats (please stop crushing my ribcage, Anna!). I didn't really have a handle on her character until typing up Va-kyuuma, when I realised I could also make her into a mad doctor type that was responsible for creating some of the House's 'artificial being' harlots.
The 'artificial being' type is the fringe of monster girls that encompasses sexy androids and the weird chimeras of Monster Girl Quest. I'm fairly neutral on them as a whole. MGQ had some good ones, some meh ones, and some Xelvy ones. I wanted a couple in the House to fill that niche, and then with The Doctoress felt that could be expanded.
Currently the House has Va-kyuuma. Couchelaxa is also weird enough that she can be retconned into that group as a kind of synthetic slime girl.
In development I'm currently writing a Tron-esque synthetic babe that sits on a rubber ball that also doubles as a massive semen pump to thoroughly drain the player. After her I have a dancing glass mannikin with a special 'dick bag' for draining cum.
I'm curious to see if patrons have machine-girl ideas they'd like to see in the House.
At this point I have to bring in the pseudo-legalese. I want to open this aspect out and let patrons have some input, because it's fun, but it also has to be on the understanding you're volunteering the idea and I'm free to interpret it how I like. I know people working for other creative IPs that have to shut down the conversation right away for legal reasons the moment an eager fan comes up and says "I have this idea", which sucks. So, let's not be dicks. In return, if you like what I come up with, feel free to run off and use it elsewhere. I'm fine with being a little open source about this sort of thing.
With that tedious and necessary aside out of the way, let's get back to the fun stuff.
So, artificial beings.
With monster girls, I think they work best as Ur-examples for certain fetishes (eg Arachnes and bondage). Machine/Artificial girls for me embody concepts like sleek design (the Tron remake girls), toys, vacuum, milking devices, etc. The overarching theme for the House is demonic harlots, so any harlot has to fit that first and not be too 'sci-fi'. Other than that, I think we can sneak in a few alchemical and synthetic oddities (but maybe not go as wild as Monster Girl Quest did...).
Let me know if you have any ideas you'd like to see implemented. Can't guarantee I'll do them all, or even any, as it has to 'click' for me to be able to write it. I thought this might make a fun bit of audience participation and we might get some new harlots out of it. So let me know below!
(I'm hoping to do this more often once the other NPCs are implemented and for a wider range of succubi/monster girls/fetishes.)
Comments
Could definitely have harlots that are cursed items/embued with life by The Doctoress. Trap chambers are a little harder as the game doesn't have the exploration element of traditional RPGs. The closest is probably more harlots like Couchelaxa. Maybe mimic harlots that appear as women downstairs and then trick the player into getting into them (bed) or opening them in the room (chest). It's an awkward flip, but can be explained as them being typical dungeon monsters in a whorehouse, rather than their normal dungeon environment. Interspecies Reviewers had a mimic brothel in one of its chapters, so I could add something like that (although I just know horror-head will go wild and icky with the Bad End!)

2021-02-08 12:27:46 +0000 UTCinstead of artificial beeings in terms of succubus, why not go the "cursed erotic item" route. could be a random event or things one can found in a chamber. like a box with a large round keyhole or sentient toys that might form / evolve into demons, or cursed charms that might give you dreams / a sequence after each harlot when you recover or when the next scene starts as an overarcing "frenemy"

2021-02-05 23:43:53 +0000 UTCPatreon randomly eats comments sometime. I'll get an email notification, but when I come here there's no comment. No idea what's happening with that. Fairy in a bigger body sounds fun. It's not far removed from the usual H-game approach of having them control semen-sucking plants. It would make a nice twist to make a machine-controlling fairy instead. Something I might have a think on. I've already taken the House's fairies down a different path than plant controllers, so the juxtaposition isn't quite there, but I might run it anyway if I can find the right character/scenes for her. Mastermind will likely be something else. I have a few tentative ideas. I want to make the Queen scenes fairly special - likely multiple sex acts gated off depending on other actions the player has taken through the House.

2021-01-29 11:16:42 +0000 UTCI swore I posted this here last week... Anyway, why not make the mastermind behind the artificial beings' a fairy. Her motive being retaliation against all the big humans and demons alike. She's envious of those larger than her and made facsimile's to make herself more powerful; evening the playing field. Imagine the robots face or chest opening up Men In Black style to show a small fairy embedded inside, controlling it all along. Anyway, it's a bit out there, but I figured you'd enjoy the out of the box perspective. And it might add a bit of exposition while you're at it.
2021-01-29 09:02:02 +0000 UTCBlow-up doll could work - although leaning more to artificial being that looks like an inflatable rather than a possessed blow up doll. I already have an idea for the scent-based harlot - a bubble succubus that traps the player in the bubble and fills it with aphrodisiacs. Also as a possible live-show event where the player sees the harlot do it to a member of the audience (when/if I get to post-room events)

2021-01-17 15:25:29 +0000 UTCMight be a struggle to make the swinging watch still seem erotic rather than goofy while she's hypnotising the player. One of the recent status-effect monster girl games had a mob that was based around that kind of hypnotism.
Many-Eyed Hydra
2021-01-17 15:20:59 +0000 UTCThat could work. I think it hits some specific niche fetishes. Questions there would be how to introduce her to the player (maybe she 'drives' a mannikin while not wrapping a player). And whether she wraps all of her body around the player or leaves some behind to act as a partner. I think the former probably works best to hit that fetish.
Many-Eyed Hydra
2021-01-17 15:17:28 +0000 UTCI like this. I think the effects would start to overlap with the plans I have for the Charm Seller, though. Maybe something I can come back to if I want to add some crazy short-term-effect potions.

2021-01-17 15:12:01 +0000 UTCA suggestion related to the Doctoress, but not an artificial being: An apprentice of the Doctoress. She tests out new potions on you, and depend on the ones you have drunk beforehand could have various and unusual results. E.g. one could make you into a slime that can be slurped up, another one makes you more transparent with each orgasm until you vanish.

2021-01-17 04:51:20 +0000 UTCWell you do have your blow up doll succubus that was creepy and sexy and I always liked it. You could do a half succubus cyborg. Or a Lamia that lost her tail somehow and it was replaced with machinery that could do interesting things. It depends how horror you wish to go? What about an artificer that takes the soul out of person and puts it into a sex doll that is used by the male imps, kind of an ultimate unescapable horror end? You don't have to write about the use, just allude to it. A succubus that has gauntlets she uses that has various functions? They are directly connected to her but they are the device that stimulates. A flower pot style monster girl but she's synthetic and only uses scent based attacks while the victim is locked inside her "pot" to make them spunk themselves to death. A "hands free" bad end as it were.

2021-01-15 13:21:36 +0000 UTCBeginning isn't far off. Will likely be after NPC Charm Seller or NPC Barman. I'll probably flesh out a lot of the passage descriptions for the main game loop at the same time. Ending is slightly trickier for reasons that will eventually become apparent (and also why lots of harlots are required). I'll likely flesh out one path to the end once all the NPCs are in place (and put the later rounds on rails to make sure the player can follow the path) and then expand that outwards with more harlots. I probably could have made this a lot easier for myself with a set path! I think what I have planned will be fun, but require a little more work! :D

2021-01-15 12:28:07 +0000 UTCOne angle I think will be common with The Doctoress's toys is them telling the player matter-of-factly what they are doing to them. Although not a robot girl, there is a rabbit girl harlot plan I've had sitting around for a while that will likely revolve around the fatigued ailment and being overenthusiastic enough to give the player a heart attack.

2021-01-15 12:16:27 +0000 UTCI think Torotoro Resistance had a similar scenario in one of his non-MGQ side projects. It's a great image for a demon/succubus bar. Not sure if it fits the House as that masquerades as a 'friendly' brothel for humans... at least until they get to the rooms. It's borderline enough to make me wonder if I could tuck it away in the bar area somewhere. Lobotomy Corp has a SCP-style entity that is a drinks machine. Would be a funny reference to have a harlot that is similar to that in some way, although I'd need to think a lot on how to make it work. At the least it's a pretty good idea for an erotic horror short story.
Many-Eyed Hydra
2021-01-15 12:10:34 +0000 UTCThat's a likely "Good End?" for this faction. Player doesn't get killed, but doesn't escape and is instead locked into some kind of pleasure machine. Similar to the alt ending with Mamilla.
Many-Eyed Hydra
2021-01-15 12:03:05 +0000 UTCHmm, random idea - lots of "guy strapped into milking machine" hentai indicates that the machine has been milking/teasing the guy for hours or days, so what about a combined milking machine/time chamber? Maybe you could get in right away, and be trapped for (apparent) days with a certain Bad End, or you could delay (maybe by requesting some other "service") and make it out alive.

2021-01-15 01:17:25 +0000 UTCI'm loving all these creative mech/robo girl ideas. Could even have a bondage themed vending machine girl that ingests humans only to put them on display as stock. Forcing them to helplessly stare out of the glass panel as a whole host of succubi can just wander up and order whatever they like from him number 11 for a cup of human semen, number 12 for a piece of soul :-)

2021-01-14 22:25:14 +0000 UTCI have to admit I have never really been an advocate for the whole artificial monster girl section. Guess I am too scared by Xelvys creations. What would be interesting is a scenario where the Doctoress turned a human woman into an artificial succubus. Guess there are a lot of scenarios that you could come up with where she failed to turn her correctly or how it would be for the human woman mentally to suddenly be turned into a succubus. Another scenario that I have would probably be more like an alternate ending. Lets say that the Doctoress has a lot of "failed" experiments that she hides somewhere. Somehow the protagonist ends up with those failed experiments and bad stuff ensues. But overall I have to say that I am much more interested in seeing the beginning and the end scenario of the House. Having a lot of Harlots is nice, for sure. But seeing how you end up inside the House and having a first version of "surviving the night" would also be nice. Not to mention the whole boss fight and quests aspect that you mentioned. Having 60+ Harlots in the House is quite the task considering that we have around 20 or so atm. And if you go for 60+ Harlots before doing the boss fights or beginning/end of the House then we would have that stuff in like 5 years (Nurse Honey please?) :D

2021-01-14 17:12:52 +0000 UTCPerhaps a more clockwork/clearly mechanical girl could be fun. One of the synthetic girls could be the ultimate example of strength play, holding the player immobile without any bondage or tricks, just unyielding strength. Milking devices are always utterly fun, the more devious and elaborate the better. Some thoughts on bad end possibilities - perhaps one from a synthetic girl being overenthusiastic and going beyond the PC's physical limits accidentally, either causing injury or going so hard that it induces a heart attack. Or the harlot uses some kind of drug or secretion to enhance the PC's production if they displease her, and it turns out to have unpleasant side effects. It's always fun when robot/synthetic girls explain their capabilities in detail, or when they take a very clinical tone. Anyway, guess that was just spitballing for a while, but robot girls and milking are... Substantial interests of mine and I'm sure I'll love whatever gets implemented.
2021-01-14 16:21:51 +0000 UTCMaybe the Doctoress might have a shrinking potion but if you try to use it to hide from your obligations, you end up meeting va-kyuuma or some kind of vacuum maid when she's actually cleaning up. Or as has already been mentioned, Artifical girl could give lots of potential with "pumping" :-)
Tiber Septim
2021-01-14 15:59:31 +0000 UTCWell the arms and a pair of goggles just scream Mad. Another possibility is the ever popular robot girl with thighs of steel. Just to get to use the line "Oops, guess I don't know my own strength. "

2021-01-14 15:41:34 +0000 UTCAnna just doesn't know her own strength. :) The arms they gave the gender-flipped Doc Ock in Into the Spiderverse have potential. I was thinking of combining that idea with the floating tentacle girl from one of my H-space stories. Some synthetic tentacles for restraining a player, and one specialised for the "pumping".
Many-Eyed Hydra
2021-01-14 15:36:55 +0000 UTCI'm still wondering what is a problem with Anna and her hugs. >;) Though I do look forward to the new Lamia showing what "deep throat" really means. One possibility might be a mechanical octogal, since you are lacking an octopus right now. Or give the Mad arms ala Doctor Octopus. Could be handy
