Added 2017-10-30 18:01:06 +0000 UTCHey folks. This week I've been playing with an indicator system for when you're doing well in . . .generating arousal, vs when you're inducing pain. The facial animations are pretty good, but I didn't feel like it was enough of an indicator, really.
I didn't really want just a bar that has to be filled, because that feels lame, plus managing multiple partners and multiple bars sounds like a pain in the dick. So what I've got is some little sparklies that do a couple things. First they show you can give commands to. When you enter the sex stance, any character that can receive commands will have the sparkles. Second, the sparkles turn white and go up, their speed depends on how much arousal is being generated. More speed, more arousal. Third, when pain is induced, they turn red. Typically, they will fall at the speed that the pain is taking away arousal. Unless the character is into that, they they'd go up. So, color indicates pain vs arousal, and direction/speed shows the increase/decrease of arousal.
I'm quite interested to hear folks thoughts on this. Overall, you still need to watch their face to see how close to climax they're getting, but this helps give an easier view into what's good vs what's bad or painful.
Additionally, for the next two weeks, I won't have access to the computer with the project files. I'll be focusing on contracting a concept artist and an environment artist during this time. So work on the project will keep moving, but I might not have much to show for the next few updates.
