LR2 v0.41 Writing Progress
Added 2021-05-21 11:13:27 +0000 UTCThe results of the last poll were clear, with more content for Lily being the clear winner, with more content for Jennifer being a notable 3rd place as well. Since posting that poll (and reading all of the comments, a ton of great ideas in there that I'm keeping in mind going forward!) I've been busy writing that new content. My current focus has been on expanding Lily's InstaPic storyline, as well as expanding the crossover that event line has with Jennifer.
*Spoilers for future content below. You've been warned!*
The biggest chunk of writing that has been done so far focuses on Lily's desire to get breast implants to "keep up" with the other girls on InstaPic. Convincing Jennifer to let this happen is the major problem to overcome, and there are a few different paths you can take. The most obvious is to talk to Jennifer next time you're taking InstaPics and convince her to let it happen. This will require her to have some amount of Sluttiness or Obedience to be convinced, or for her to already have gotten her own implants.
Alternatively, you can tell Lily that you have serum that will grow her breasts naturally. There's no requirement that this is actually true, but if she doesn't see results in a few days she'll want you to move onto convincing Jennifer instead. A fun (and unplanned) interaction is that any breast enhancing effect will satisfy her desire, including getting pregnant. Perhaps I'll take some time and write this up as an explicit plan you can pitch to her at high Sluttiness, or if she has particular favourable opinions.
Lots of writing still to do, so I'm going to get back to it!

This is caused by a messed up Action that's supposed to clear the role for the Humiliating Work punishment. I think it's line 838 of Punishments.rpy, but I may have fudged the lines by one or two while trying to fix it for myself. This is a pretty bad crash as it persists in saved games even after the source has been fixed.

2021-05-30 22:48:24 +0000 UTCI'd like to request a slight change for the grope programming. Could we have a check if she would reject and is an employee that checks if happy_points > 0 the_person.effective_sluttiness("touching_body") + the_person.get_job_happiness_score / 5 vs the grope requirements. If the employee likes the job enough to put up with the grope she becomes less happy but puts up with it (maybe with some different wording for mutters under her breath "I really like this job."

2021-05-30 01:15:14 +0000 UTCI really like this idea. Having the women be more aware of their breast size would be nice. It's probably a control thing, but for some reason I love manipulating their bodies. The characters with big or small breasts always end up with something else eventually.

2021-05-26 04:20:30 +0000 UTCHow dare the author have motivations for a character that violate your preferences of permanence. The nerve!

2021-05-24 23:39:47 +0000 UTCI think Lily is worthy of it, glad of this fact and expanding Lily's InstaPic storyline as well.

2021-05-23 16:25:34 +0000 UTCI like the idea of the breast enhancement story, but I recommend you keep it optional (ie if she wants the breast enhancement to get an OnlyFanatics page, you should be able to convince her in other ways, or make sure its story-safe to use a reducer serum to change her bust size back later). Why? Well consider that you'd probably think twice before redesigning the character model of any of the fan favourite characters. You might do it anyway (you're doing all the work here, we're just the peanut gallery) but you know the fans must like something about the design. If you make it a necessary part of Lilly's progression to get breast enlargements you are sort of doing the same thing - the players have to accept the character model update (in this case larger breasts) if they want to proceed with her story. There are loads of things that make Lilly so widely appreciated, but its not hard to speculate that 'thin body, small breasts' is a part of that.
2021-05-22 03:28:59 +0000 UTCAfter reading your post, I thought about those women that have large chest and are tired of it (the weight give them backache, they find them too large, want to get back to the size they had before pregnancy, etc.). How about a variable about their ideal breast size, which is not available to the PC (like the info if they are using the pill or not) until they either mentioned it or being asked about it? Like if Gabrielle is tired of her DDD size breast, and wish or would prefer DD or D size breast? Or one woman with D size breast who wish for DD or DDD? Rare cases could be a B wishing for A! Or DDD wishing for larger! A woman who is secretly given a serum that reduce her breast might be glad for the change, but also wonder how this could happen. The PC could either be silent or could tell her about the serum. The one who has her breast enlarge through serum might be less suspicious about the reason they got larger, but some might wonder about it. So, this is my suggestion of ideas for possible development of the game. They will certainly require more writing for you, the developer, if you go with any of them.
