Progress and a BDSM poll!

Hello friends!

I hope you are having a wonderful week!

First I wanna thank all of you who wrote to tell me thanks or that you enjoy the game. I have read all of your messages, even if I didn’t respond to most of you. It’s not because you said something wrong or anything like that but because after spending so much time sending messages and mails and all that stuff I kinda hated the whole messaging thing (basically messenger burnout!)

But yeah, I really appreciate your messages!

Now, onto today’s topic. While I have a lot of Kinky Fight Club 2 designed, there are some things that aren’t defined completely yet. One of those features is how BDSM will interact with the game.

A funny thing is that in the feedback form for Kinky Fight Club (1), there was a 75/25 split between Yes to BDSM during matches and No to BDSM during matches that kept constant from the 100th answer to the almost 2000th.

So I decided that I will make a toggle to completely shut down BDSM content during matches, or in general in the game. This of course won’t be ready for the first demo, but I want to plan stuff with time.

So here are some options for how the BDSM content could be applied to the game:

• BDSM Option 1: Mostly a visual effect.
  In this case, some abilities will be able to put restraints on the enemy, but it won’t have much impact on gameplay. Players will not be able to remove restraints once put.
• BDSM Option 2: Mostly a gameplay effect.
  In this case, some abilities will be able to put restraints on the enemy, not as easy as in option 1, but the restraints will have effects on the gameplay, including that a character with their arms bound will not be able to use abilities! (This is very debilitating). Players will be able to remove restraints with a special out-of-grapple ability.
• BDSM Option 3: Mostly a gameplay effect, but softcore.
  Similar to option 2, but players with hand restraints will be able to use abilities, just not switch to handjob positions. So basically restraints will have effects on characters but won’t be as powerful.
• BDSM Option 4: Mostly a gameplay effect, but hardcore.
  Similar to option 2, but putting restraints will be a bit more expensive energy-wise, yet characters will not be able to remove restraints once they are put. This could mean that a character with  a hand restraint is basically instantly defeated (as it probably be someone in real life in this scenario). This could also make that just putting restraints on opponents a strategy, which sounds cool but I’m not sure if it will be “fun” when you are on the receiving end (and trying to win)

And on another thing I would like your opinion is with sound effects

We all played mmos or games where when a character uses an ability it does a cool sound effect, like the iconic bloodlust effect on warcraft games. Well, I’m a bit unsure here on how to proceed.

• Audio option 1: Only realistic sound effects
  This option means that when using most abilities there won’t be a sound effect, other than the noise of a scruff or something being thrown or picked up. This is the most “realistic”, but less gamey option.
• Audio option 2: All sound effects
  This option means that all abilities will have their own sound effect, so players can react just from hearing what is happening. Most of you who play games with complex PVE content or PVP will realize how fast the brain can react to hearing some noises associated with some skills. While I like this option in general I feel like it could break the immersion of some people (Especially when there is an ability called panther strike, which will for sure use a kick of panther roar sound!)
• Audio option 3: Only pseudo-realistic sound effects
  This option means that I will use only realistic sounds and some grunts and roars or stuff that doesn’t sound too crazy, like in the example of panther strike I will use a claw noise instead. This is a compromise between the other two options. More realistic, less original.

And that’s all the feedback I’m looking for today!

I will be making a lot of polls in the following months, especially regarding features and content.

I wanna thank all of you who supported the development of Solas City Heroes, and now to all of you who are supporting the first demo of Kinky Fight Club 2. I’m sure you will love it when it is out!

And when will it be ready?

Well, things are almost ready. I’m just fixing a fuckton of bugs and making sure that everything works as expected (for a 0.1 version). but if things go well the demo will be ready before the 21th. I know it is a bit late in the month, but this first demo will include the full character creator!

And since you guys are so awesome, the first demo will have all rewards x2, so you can quickly unlock all the clothing for your custom characters!

Have a great day friends!

Cheers!
