2/25/18 and New Equipment

Hi again folks,

I've been doing some work on the equipment menu, which of course first means I need to create a list of equipment along with any stats they will have, and a player's current equipped items list as well. I took this chance of working with a more organized structure to introduce some more details for equipment in the future for greater customization. 

Equipment will be sorted into  1 of 5 slots during the game: Tops, Bottoms, Underwear, Implements, and Accessories. Tops are mainly for appearance, and have little affect on the game. Accessories will have much more unique effects and can affect events in the game. Bottoms and underwear will both have the same kind of stats, which are protection and insulation. Protection is a representation of how thick and durable the clothing is, so dancers skirts will have a low protection, while workers pants will have a higher value. The higher the protection, the less damage per spank you will take. Insulation is something quite new, and it is a measure on the breath-ability of the clothing. It's a new mechanic I'll be experimenting with that will affect the rate of healing for the character. Thicker clothes (like tight wool underwear) will give less healing over time than thinner clothes (like a thong). In addition, some clothes will have extra effects on your stats. Like wearing childish underwear will give a penalty to your dominance, but wearing black lingerie will give you a boost. 

Implements will have 3 new stats as well, durability, weight, and penatration. Durability, as you might have guessed, is an indication of how many spanks the implement can give before breaking. I'm including this as a new feature so that once you get an implement, it's isn't a permanent part of your arsenal, and more possibilities for getting them will be present. Plus, the situation of a paddle breaking mid spanking will present an interesting scene. Weight is a measure of how difficult the implement is to use, and determines how much stamina it takes to swing each hit. Penetration is an implements ability to go through the protection on a butt. These last two stats were added to give a better representation on the variety of implements in the real world, and how they work in a spanking. A switch for example, will be relatively light, not very durable, and have low penetration. A paddle will be quite heavy, more durable, and have moderately high penetration. Since spankings will never be done in automatic sets again, the weight of an implement is also an indicator of the damage it deals, since 20 or so whips of a switch will equal 5 or so swats with a paddle on an unprotected butt. What's more, is that this gives me a chance to create much more varied implements. Instead of just having one paddle for the whole game, you can now get a light paddle, hardwood paddle, holed paddle, etc. All with unique traits. I'll also be able to create more unique implements just by shuffling numbers around, so requests on implements from the higher tier patrons can be much more unique. 

It sounds like a lot of work (because it is) but know that I'll be able to work on the spanking scenes once I have the equipment done with.
