Bug Fixing and Planning for v0.22.1
Added 2019-11-05 09:45:09 +0000 UTCSince the release of v0.22.0 I've been going through bug reports and fixing up all of the issues that have turned up so far. In addition to that, I have been writing some new content that will be available to the public version. This new content adds onto the storyline for the main character's cousin Gabrielle. That's just about finished up now, which leaves me with some spare time to do some experimenting, prototyping, and planning.
I am currently looking at two main goals for the v0.23 development cycle: First, I want to add uses for all of the current existing "mall" locations. This may mean introducing a simple shopping mechanic, or the introduction of new NPC's with storylines tied to those locations. Second, I want to update the core mechanics of the sex system. Currently, the goal is to get a girl to climax before you do, with both of your arousals rising simultaneously. This works moderately well for penetrative sex, but it falls apart when I try to introduce things like hand jobs or fingering, and it causes strange situations like regularly climaxing while kissing someone.
My initial plan is to change the current Stamina stat into a larger, more variable number and add the same stat to all girls. When interacting both characters will lose stamina, with the amount depending on what position. Positions like hand jobs or blowjobs will cost one person much more stamina than the other. Arousal will remain roughly the same, measuring how close to an orgasm a character is, but characters may now lose arousal between rounds if they are not receiving any pleasure. Either party orgasming will not end the encounter, but will cost significant stamina and for the main character will limit what they are able to do for a few rounds while they recover.
There will likely be a dev blog at some point focusing on the details of the new sex system as it is worked out, so if you enjoy essays about game design be on the lookout for that!

It's an often enough requested system that yes, at some point I will be adding pregnancy content into the game.

2019-11-06 09:38:06 +0000 UTCHow about that a girl that gives without receiving gains lewdness points, and those point are then made into core lewdness when you get her to orgasm. Orgasms in themselves do not gives extra lewdness point for core lewdness, they only convert x points per orgasm. That way a it becomes more interesting to diverse the sex actions instead of 'repeat until it bores her, choose another position, continue'. You could also think about having a max value of lewdness point available for the various sex positions making it more possible to snowball a girls lewdness as she opens op to more positions :) It doesn't need to be a linear equation either.

2019-11-05 16:07:19 +0000 UTCI'm glad the sex mechanics are getting a look. Way too much premature ejaculation in the current system. The tricky thing will be making it sexy while also being an interesting mini-game. If I am reading the above correctly, you'd be creating a system whereby receiving blowjobs is generally a bad thing, which is an unusual position for an H-game to take. If you go that route, you might want to balance it out by having a bj increase the girl's submission or something, otherwise there is no reason to do it (other than once or twice just to watch the scene). Games are always the most enjoyable when the mechanics reward you for doing fun things. When the mechanics reward you for doing un-fun things, you end up with grinder games that can still be interesting but they're generally not nearly as great to play.
