Weekly progress report #55
Added 2021-01-10 16:19:49 +0000 UTC«Care to help me with that thing?»
Hello. Time for another progress report. It's the same stuff as always: the work is moving forward, as I was mostly free this week, and made some nice progress. Hopefully enough to avoid another crunch at the end of the month… oh, who am I kidding. Of course there's gonna be a crunch. However, as with the v0.10, I'll try to release the new demo before the end of January.
As for specific things, Blake is going to spend quite a lot of time at the villa this time. There's gonna be another psychotherapy session with dr. Lowe (once again to push you on the bimbo route, but slowly), some Melinda's fun, a chance to get closer to Eduardo, etc. But there's some fun stuff to do at home as well. New videos to shoot, new shifts at the club to serve, and new weird stuff to happen. Stay tuned for the bimbo poll on Tuesday, there's some spice to it.
But as you all know, I tend to end my updates with a cliffhanger, so try to guess which one is going to happen next. I'll give you a hint: this time it's gonna be something for Blake to actually look forward to (as opposed to you-know-what), though it depends, I guess.
So, that's about it. I'm gonna talk more in the future progress reports, but for now stay safe, and thanks for reading!

Thank you :) But again, as I said, these numbers are mostly to set you locked on specific routes early on more than anything. Basically gay Blake won't be able to go down on Vanessa during their date, and straight Blake wouldn't want to watch Samuel fucking in the restroom. There are other factors, but your direct actions mean much more in terms of choice :)

I don't use walkthroughs, as I like to figure out stuff myself (and deal with the consequences of my actions) but that system sounds interesting in the way you implemented it. I knew that was *some kind* of system in place, but I may have to start yet another playthrough (number 4) just to see what tweaking those numbers does to dialogue and gameplay. Yeda, I love it! <3

2021-01-11 19:40:56 +0000 UTCIn the beginning it's the basic «more or» thing. Like if in the second act Blake has more gay points than straight ones, he might start evaluating Liam's attractiveness (but only if more. If your points are equal, Blake is straight). Later on I add different factors to it. For example, if Blake has more gay points, but he's on a straight route (I tried to make sure this couldn't happen, but there are some loopholes), he counts as straight. So he wouldn't be able to hit on Troy (but it won't stop other guys from hitting on him, which is really understandable, considering how sexy Blake is). So, to sum it up, the sum of gay and straight points is equal on all routes, and the only really critical thing here is what company you're getting at Rebecca's party at the fourth act.

2021-01-11 19:06:31 +0000 UTCI shouldn't write when I'm tired. :D Re-stated, are the point systems totaled (e.g.: 6 gay - 4 straight = 2 gay) or independent (e.g.: 6 gay and 4 straight = 6 gay and 4 straight)? I'm asking because it seems like there is a critical event on one or two routes, at least as I read the walkthrough.

2021-01-11 19:00:54 +0000 UTCNot sure what you mean by «relationship points». You mean gay/straight? These are countering each other. Dom/sub points countering each other as well, naturally. However, I only use them at the very early stage of the game to determine your tastes, and characters you'd rather form relationship with. After the party in v0.4 gay/straight points practically disappear, and dom/sub points only determine the outcome of a very limited number of events.

2021-01-11 11:04:03 +0000 UTCI'm belatedly realizing that I don't understand the point system stated in the walkthrough - do Dom/Sub or relationship points counter each other? Do they exist entirely on their own (my assumption), or do they have some modifiers not stated? I'm asking because I might actually have some time to review the story options soon. "Might" is highly speculative, but it's possible. :)
