Hey, everyone. ヾ(^∇^)
So, I did the basic intro scene for the whole "welcome to the new office" thing and started doing, re-doing, and adding hidden stats calculations and...well.
I don't think my previous idea, the "Sexual endurance" being one of the main stats, was any good.
The stat itself is gonna stay, but I'll change how it works. I gave it an extended thought and honestly, grinding your way up to 5000 Desire, then making her cum and repeat - sounds...pretty fucking bad and boring.
So instead, I will add something called Sanity.
It's a double-edged sword. I will do a much more detailed explanation closer to the release, since it's still mostly a thought (some assets and coding are already in), but here's the short version:
-Gloria will be willing to do anything you tell her to, but if she's not Lewd enough this will cause her Sanity to go down.
-Some passive actions could cause it to go down as well
-If she's at very-very high Desire for days and weeks, this will drain her Sanity too
-Letting her cum, having a simple sex with her and simply not doing anything to her will increase it
While she's at high Sanity:
-she works better. Yes, she will need to work. This is how you move through the game to the end-goal. There will be alternatives to her working, in case you just want to fuck her up.
-she will build Resistance much quicker (since she is concentrated)
-she will gain High-sanity points every day, to achieve one of her endings
-something else
While she's at mind-breakingly low Sanity:
-she will lose Resistance
-she will screw her working progress
-she will gain Ahegao-sanity points every day for one of her endings
-you can hit the "Mindbreak" game-over is she stays like that for too long (this will depend on that "Sexual Endurance" thingy). At the very start, she will break in just a few days. Once you train her, she'll be able to be fucked up for weeks, with lower impact on her work
-something else
Mid Sanity is somewhat in-between
It's still a concept, so don't take everything as written-in-stone, things can change. The gears in my head are driving me insane sometimes.
Anyway. I'm not gonna pretend that, with my elementary-schooler programmer skills, I will invent something sand-boxy. But I think experimenting is a part of getting better. Plus, when I finally get to making new girls, this could be handy. Or not. What do I know...
At least, I think this will allow easier implementation of simpler events. You just throw it in, write what it does to her stats and when it becomes available, and there! It's in.
A little bit of my current work:
An observant person might notice that Gloria is struggling with something...
An even more observant person will notice that one of her buff icons changed to something...bigger.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
That's it for now. Still a lot of things to do before I start doing actual events and sexy stuff. But I can't fight myself, and my urge to experiment. Sorry.
By the way. This is a public post, but I'm going "Patrons-only" again. Just wanted to share my excitement. And maybe hear some thought: always welcome.
