Hardcore Mode

Would anyone be interested in a “hardcore mode” for the Bondage Club? Here’s a few ideas on how it could work:

Hardcore mode could only be activated once per account.  If you deactivate it, you won’t be able to activate it again. It would be managed server side to prevent any console cheating.

A hardcore label could be shown on your character sheet and maybe the number of days you’ve been playing on that mode.

When playing hardcore, no rescue maid will come for you in the main hall and safewords won’t work. Also, club management will not remove any chastity device.

I know it’s not for everyone, but would some of you like it?

Comments

Probably not. Blocking console commands would be tons and tons of work, it's a javascript game after all.

Bondage Projects

I just reread this and had a question, this hardcore mode wouldn't turn off console commands for just slipping out of locks and restraints would it? Cause on my first read through I thought that was pert of it, that would be the ideal case imo cause it would be nice to slip on an owner lock and know a sub simply can't get out no matter what.

The point of being hardcore is that it's not flexible and easily switched to, but it's not for everyone of course :)

Bondage Projects

Thanks! Dragging your slave to a room would probably be a thing available in non-hardcore when it's coded though.

Bondage Projects

I think I will prefer to use the curse features because they are more flexible than the project explained here.

Great idea. 30 day cooldown seems reasonable, too. One thing I'd like to see implemented if you go this way is the owner being able to drag the hardcore player into another room via beeps or a similar mechanism (similar to what curse already does).

Hahaha, I don't think I'll ever add "death" to the game though :P

Bondage Projects

Thanks! Not all of these ideas are possible but I might use some when I code it or in a future version :)

Bondage Projects

Prepare to Die mode next?

Anaîs Sokolova

Great idea. I actually thought about that, with few additions. There should be no way to remove restraints which you can't struggle out by yourself without others players help. So maybe something like that: NPC's in your room can't remove restraints; strength of others NPC's is increased to make fights with them harder; when you're bound and relogging in the game you stay in the same room and still bound (command in the menu about that should be deactivated on hardcore); if you logout in the chatroom and relog then you should be in the same room, even if you're alone there (i dont know is it hard to implement and cost resources) So, the main idea is that you need to ask someone (or pray, or m-m-m-ph) to rescue you if you're stuck. I am not really sure how to deal with it if you stuck not in online room. Maybe some mechanism that decrease the bondage strength with time? Like the ropes loose after some time. And after few days you will be able to escape by yourself, for example. Or just leave it be, if we talk about hardcore.

Great! Thanks for you input :)

Bondage Projects

I wouldn't use it, but I think many other people would, so I think the mode should be available.

Angel Molina

Great! I'm glad you like it :)

Bondage Projects

Yes, I'm thinking of 30 days delay to turn it back on. Do you think it would be fair?

Bondage Projects

Love the idea!

I'd argue that you probably should be able to turnit back on, in case you have an owner that leaves the game. Especially if that owner decides to use non-owner locks on items before they leave, like the "only I can unlock these" locks. EDIT: Probably a weeks delay to turn it back on, so you can't just turn it off and back on all the time.

Kaira Silvermist

Absolutely. I don't have any measure to know the online time spent in the game. But I will probably set a 30 days membership minimum before activating it. Thanks :)

Bondage Projects

Good initiative! The only downside I see is people peer pressuring others to activate it, especially newbies. I think there should be a time limit before players can turn it on. Like the account needs to be older than 30 days or be online X hours before they can turn it on. And for the same reason it should definitely be toggleable, maybe with a penalty.

Safewords can't work in hardcore, this is a mode for players that don't want any easy escape. I'm thinking more about a 30 days delay to re-enable it. Do you think it's fair?

Bondage Projects

thanks a lot!

Bondage Projects

Of course this is not for everyone. Thanks for your input :)

Bondage Projects

I'm thinking more about a 30 days to re-enable it. Do you think it would be fair?

Bondage Projects

Thanks for your input!

Bondage Projects

1 hour is way too easy. I'm thinking more of a 30 days timer to re-enable it. So players will think twice before using that switch. Do you think it would be fair? Safewords must be deactivated in hardcore of course, hardcore players are a different bunch.

Bondage Projects

For a future version of course, I'm only proposing an idea :)

Bondage Projects

Great! I'm glad you like it :)

Bondage Projects

I'm thinking about setting a 30 days delay to re-activate it, if you go out of hardcore mode. Yes, titles by number of days milestone is also a good idea :)

Bondage Projects

Thanks for your input!

Bondage Projects

I'm glad you like the idea :)

Bondage Projects

I like the idea

Merana33 and Kitsune both mad some really good points as well. Safewords must always work. Since its hardmode, going off what Kitsune said, when enabled you can't disable it for a full day. I also like the idea of the perk/benefit that Merana mentioned.

CryptoGore68

im sure there is an audience for it, but im not one of them myself

ArkSilver

I like it! Yes please but the one time only is a bit much.

CryptoGore68

No. That mode has been done to death.

neosuduno

"And safewords wont work" Regardless of a hardcore mode or not, safewords should be allowed to work, there used for reason such as when something goes to far and communication cant be achieved Also, a "one and done" on turning it on and off shouldnt be a thing, i believe it was mentioned but perhaps a timer would be better, something like 1 hour block, so if its active it wont allow you to disable it for an hour, tracks your time played in hardcore mode, and when disabled, another hour block before being allowed to re-enable it

Do you plan it for this update, if wished?

Hardcore mode is the great idea! I play hard mode in all games. It will be true immersion.

I don't really see the point of limiting the number of times it can be activated. Change the timer to only show how long it's been activated this time and you eliminate the ability to 'cheat' the system by deactivating, maid/safeword-ing, then re-enabling because the hardcore timer would reset. Maybe add perks/benefits/titles for hitting certain milestones in hardcore time to encourage leaving it enabled?

Merana33

Sure.

I’d be down for that
