Plans For Maids

Hi everyone ^_^

Due to some complications with my personal health (I'm doing better now) and a water leak in my home, things have been on the slower side the last couple of weeks. Therefore, I thought it was a good time for a project plans talk post instead, this time focussing on the future plans for maids. 

But before that, in other news, I've been sorting out more artwork as usual, with 3 scheduled artwork posts that'll pop up on here (Patreon) over the next few days. I've also just put up the monthly art poll (again on Patreon only), so check that out if you're interested too.

So, without further ado, here they are:

General Plans

At the core of it, the maid content is meant to exist to fulfil multiple purposes. It'll give the player an easy way to manage and automate keeping their home clean (which will make roommates happy and give them extra energy/actions). It'll offer dominant scene opportunities (and potentially submissive opportunities with certain maids) for the player, as they interact with their maids. And finally, as a more meta/game-design point, it'll serve as another money sink for players.

Hireable through Maid For Service, with a flyer directing the player towards them planned in the future, players will be able to get themselves one or more maids to clean their home. Players will pay a hiring fee, and then a daily fee for each maid they have hired, though they can cancel each contract at their discretion. Not all maids are equal, with some being better/worse, some costing more/less, some working different time slots (so will be around the home more/less), and finally some will have special mechanics attached to them.

The hope is for these maid characters to not just throw-away mechanical bonuses, but characters you can interact further with. Some will be more cleaning focussed, while others will be more of a  'full-service' mindset, willing/desiring to have sex with the player (and maybe their roommates). I also intend for there to be special interactions if multiple maids are hired, where the player catches how they get along together (and the potential hierarchies that form).

The Characters

At the moment there are the four initially planned maid characters, with the addition of some of the cat-girls from Pussy Lickers and the planned bunny maids thrown into the hire-able pool too. Here is a little information on the new characters.

Gracie - Gracie is an attractive ginger woman, and a senior maid, with a serious personality to match her experience. She's talented at what she does, but pricy, and much less sexually interested than some of her work colleagues (though is willing as it's part of her service contract). Always to the point and blunt, Gracie is a traditional maid that has high standards of her own, which an unsuspecting player might fall into trouble over - especially if she feels she needs to 'take control' of their education in joining higher society.

Tallulah - Tallulah is a pretty if not a little nerdy looking brunette, who is sweet go-getter at heart, always wanting to make people happy. She takes her work seriously, and is both talented and experienced at all aspects of it, often predicting her Master/Mistress's desires before even they do. As long as the boundaries and rules of her services are laid out for her, she'll steadfastly follow them with enthusiasm ... though she isn't always sure what to do outside of that framework.

Lindy - Lindy is a beautiful platinum blonde, and a sweet if not a little nervous junior maid. She's a little clumsy, mostly a result of being new to the job, though some of it is natural bad habits of tripping up and knocking things over. She'll get better at her job as she goes along, but there might be a few accidents along the way. At least she's enthusiastic about what she does, and is always happy to please, both by working hard or by other more sexual methods.

Melody - Melody is a pretty blonde, and a fine enough maid, well recommended for her high sexual willingness. She's not the most enthusiastic about cleaning though, and may have to be reminded to do that part of her job. So much so that it's easy to get the impression she's more interested in being a live-in sex slave than a maid, especially when she starts to get sexually pushy, or to create 'accidental' sexy scenarios.

Future Plans

To start with, additional maids are planned, both from existing maid jobs (cat-girl and the planned bunny-girls) and just a few more in general (including a one or two male options). In general I want the maids to be meaningful, so most will have a mechanic, or at least some additional interactions to get into with them. I'm also contemplating whether hired maids should be able to become live-in maids, requiring their own space and requirements but being effectively hired roommates.

The other big plan relating to maids is the maid job. Now the maid job has been something I've had planned out for a long time, longer than the cat-maids even. Unlike with the cat-maids it'll concentrate on the player becoming a maid for one of two specific characters, with the first tier of the job being odd-jobs while you get to know the main options for who you can work for later into the job. The maids introduced as hireable by the player will also be featured in the job, so even without hiring them players will still have a chance to meet them.
