---------------------------------

So while trying to overhaul the werm brain infestation, I realized I had to make a choice. The consequences of werm brain infestation propagates out to the rest of the game, affecting the mechanics and the plot. I had 4 general paths before - no infestation, full control, equal control, resistance - that I wanted to do. However, it's just too much. I think I need to get just 1 working correctly then see if I can go back to do the rest. The reason I wanted a bunch of different infestation states is that I wanted every type of parasite interaction to be possible, but it's clearly overreaching at this point. I decided to ditch resistance and equal control, and simply make it no brain infestation vs. degrees of submissive brain infestation. I may add the equal control back in later.

The new system will be that the werm gives you objectives, visible on screen most of the time, which are very clear. Completing the objectives makes you more obedient to the werm, which is now on a sliding scale. This scale is going to be used to determine potential actions you can take later in the game. I'll build methods of 'escaping' subservience, like the escape pod, which can be used to skirt around sections of the game and progress even without fulfilling the werms demands but that will come later. These decisions affect the plotline for the rest of the game, which is why I'm hesitant to push the plot forward before hammering all this stuff out.

The general plan is to have the werm subservience system also tie into a larger sub/dom system that creates hierarchy among the NPC's and the player. Networks will be built along which infection/infestations as well as commands and even personalities spread. But that is for later.
