Sonic Game: Game Mechanics Rework Month!

I hope you are all doing well. Today I want to give you an update on the Sonic Game.
As it stands, I have been writing scenes for the game, albeit that was much too forward. It made the game too cluttered and the many stats were a problem, which is why the scenes are replaced with more empty placeholders for now as the game is balanced. This means, this month I will be working to get a basic setup for different functions of the game.
What is planned?
- Exposure, Touch and Lust is replaced with LLL (Like Libido Love/Lust), a stat separated in three parts. It starts with Like, then turning after enough is reached into Libido and then into Love/Lust depending on Moral Alignment. The range of the stat will be balanced.
- Moral Alignment stays as is with the Sweet/Sour Path and will only see some balancing the range of the stat.
- Mood will be set so that Cream will not talk to the player when it is low enough. She can then be bribed with plushies or during dinner with pizza. Balancing will be done here too.
- Implementing a short plushy "Bribe" function that comes along with "Cream being too mad to talk with you" function.
- "End of Day Report" at the end of the day will be added to review the progress that has happened over the day. A screen I am currently working on.
- Sunday will have a reward function with Vanilla. Cream's Mood score is saved at the end of every day and adds up, which will lead to rewards like: Extra Money, Items (like Car Keys), Sex Scenes.
- RWC is the relationship with Cream. This will be used to for one determine what reward Sonic gets from Vanilla on Sunday (if Cream's Mood score was high enough), but will possibly also influence other characters.
- Money will be rebalanced. It can be used by players to "bribe" Cream to have higher Mood after all and get Vanilla rewards.
- Different Placeholder Living Room scenes at different times of day. Three Daytimes with cycling activities. Not 4 new ones every time, but more like a few are getting replaced with others here and there. Nothing too much.
The gameplay gist is, that you can play naughty with negative Moral Alignment which will tank Cream's Mood, but get you more LLL. Positive Moral Alignment has less LLL and a slower burn. But you are more likely to fuck the MILF, to speak bluntly.
I plan to get a workable test build for the team ready by the end of the month, so we can make sure the game balance is good. If it is, we can work on building the game out more. Maybe actually getting the Living Room scenes done then. But that is to decide for after we have things tested out.
This might not be the most satisfactory update, but I do hope it gives you all a small window into what is happening as well as information to how the game will play. Thank you for your support!
