Work in progress 27/02/2023

Good morning guys, and good start to the week.

There won't be publications in March either, so carefully evaluate your economic choices.

As you will read below, work is progressing very well, but unfortunately and fortunately there are many values to consider, and taking things slowly is necessary so as not to ruin the subtle balance that exists between a splendid success and a total failure.

Here are the progress made in the previous week:

-Dissimulation is back + An interesting change:

I underestimated it again, I thought I had solved it by imposing the rule according to which this dissimulation had to work only in the presence of ill-intentioned characters.

For those who are confused, dissimulation is the value that allows the NPC to hide her presence to ambush you.

The problem is that if you find yourself in front of a respectful character, and through the right combination of sex-talking you will be able to make yourself loved by the character, her dissimulation (If present) had to be correct because the only dissimulation that I had evaluated was for malicious purposes.

So I reviewed that specific part of the code and I considered including ambushes for benevolent purposes, for example, a friend who approaches you silently and plays a joke on you, or maybe a sudden kiss in the case of a lover, and other possibilities.

Needless to say, I approved this change even though it took 2 days to make.

It was too sweet an option to pass up.

-Ogres, elves, and centaurs:

As I told you in the last work in progress, these 3 species will have to have 3 different sexual escalations, due to their different cultural origins.

It probably won't be like this, for the simple fact that I've found a common denominator that encompasses all.

Don't worry, the idea expressed last week still holds, I just found a way to fit all 3 sexual strategies into one sexual escalation.

-Sexual escalation:

The work is progressing well, however, it requires a lot of attention, because there are so many values to consider.

Alignment Values, Emotional Values, and Physical Values such as libido, corruption, confidence (which is now called self-esteem), etc...

It's not easy, but when I'm done I expect the character to leave the screen and beg me to relax and work a little less.

However I can tell you that I am extremely pleased with the steps I am taking, the old sexual escalation was horribly organized in comparison.

Here's a quick checklist of what sexual escalation will look like:

1) It is decided who is Top and who is Bot

2) The Top character fucks the Bot character

3) The Top character decides whether to continue regardless of the Bot character's wishes

4) The Bot character decides if he wants to continue being passive, change Top, or stop

5) The Top character decides whether to please the Bot character or not

6) The Top character runs out of libido and the bot character evaluates his libido

* All seasoned with the sex-talking mode which will serve to improve or worsen the relationship you have with the NPC.

I send you a hug, see you next week.

Alek.
