So I'm aware that tears during a spanking aren't necessarily everyone's thing. That's cool bruh, because it's now OPTIONAL! At the beginning of the game, the player will be prompted if they want crying enabled or not, and if they choose no, it won't be included.
If they do, however, they will often walk away from punishments with tears in their eyes. This blocks most interaction from other NPCs because who wants to chat with someone who's hysterical? The state will naturally go away if the player moves around enough (yeah walk off the pain!), but if they choose, they can utilize items or specific characters who will instantly soothe them, like in the above.
This is going hand in hand with my re-engineering of the randomizer system to be a little less daunting, while still providing interesting spankings. This as well as the random punishment spankings from all other slaves will be in the Norbermark Update.
Stay tuned!
