Sprint 008, day 4
Added 2020-02-21 19:58:24 +0000 UTCThe new Dubai sex scene has two broad paths: the agent can have sex on the balcony, or in the bed.
My original plan was to basically copy-and-paste the balcony sex content (which is largely complete) into the bed path. Which I did, but something about it wasn't quite landing.
The bed path just felt like a cut-down version of the balcony path. In a way that's fine – not every scene has to be exactly equal – but I just felt like something was missing.
In the end I went back to first principles: why do people even have sex in beds? Because it's more comfortable and you can do almost any position in it. That implies a different pace and different options from a quickie over the hotel balcony.
With that in mind, I made some changes to the structure, and it feels better now. Now the overall scene feels like a choice between two experiences: risky and exciting on the balcony, or longer and more intimate on the bed.
All this messing around means that I didn't actually complete any story points of work today, but I should catch up on the next writing day. Hyneman finished a task though!
- [T1] Add "Favourite sexual position" to Lifepath
Your agent now has a favourite position (chosen by you around the time she gets her first boyfriend). Partners get a bonus to their dice rolls when fucking her in that position. And Victoria drew some cool icons for the screen where you make your choice:
Okay, that's all for today. Tomorrow is scheduled R&R, so the next dev day is Sunday. Have a lovely weekend, everybody, and I'll see you then!
P.S. I have lots of messages that I haven't replied to yet – sorry to everyone who's written to me but is waiting to hear back. I'll aim to get caught up tomorrow!

2020-02-21 20:29:05 +0000 UTCthese might be obvious, but perhaps they will help. <b>balcony sex is outdoors/open world.</b> it changes the feel and focus to include what's going on outside as well as what's happening on the balcony. it appeals to people who look for more excitement from external stimuli. eg. the risk or thrill in being seen by others. <b>bedroom sex is 1v1.</b> it is more intimate and safe. the focus is almost entirely on the people involved and the chemistry between them. those who wish to feel a deeper connection to their partner and/or the act they are engaged in while ignoring everything else will seek this kind of closed off environment.
