Lab Rats 2 Prototype - Sex Design

Added 2017-07-01 05:43:31 +0000 UTC

One of the issues I brought up with Lab Rats 1 was the fact that I have to write every single word of content that goes into the game, and that content usually only comes up in a single scene. A single minor scene may have 4 or 5 different levels, each accompanied by anywhere from 200 to 600 words. Major scenes tend to have more than that, and the hub scenes are roughly 10 000 words each. These scenes are also mostly linear, with a few branching points along the way.

For Lab Rats 2, I wanted to change the way sex is handled entirely to sex descriptions to be reused across the game. The prototype has this current system implemented:

1. When you start having sex you begin by picking a position and an object to have sex on. Each object has a list of traits that it satisfies, so a bed allows you to bend over the side or lie down on it, but you can't lean up against it like a wall. Each position requires a certain trait, if the location you're in lacks an object with that trait you can't have sex that way. Some positions require nothing other than the floor, a girl kneeling and giving you a blowjob, for example.

2. Each position requires access to certain parts of the girl. Doggy style requires access to her vagina, while a titfuck requires access to her tits. If she's wearing a piece of clothing that blocks access, you can't start with that position. Some pieces of clothing, like skirts, don't block access while being worn, letting you quickly fuck girls who aren't wearing any underwear.

3. Once you've started having sex the action is split up into rounds. During each round you have the option to keep having sex (or getting a blowjob, ect.), pause to strip the girl down, pull out entirely and change position, or smoothly transition to another related position. The number of rounds you can have sex for will be determined by a combination of the girls stats and your own. If you have a high endurance and the girl isn't very skilled, you will last a large number of rounds. With low endurance, you may cum before you are ready (possibly failing to satisfy the girl!).

4. Position descriptions are stored as a separate object and split up into a number of sections. Each position has an intro for when you start a sex scene with that position, an outro for when you finish a sex scene with that position, and intermediary scenes when you continue in that position. The descriptions all reference the state of the girl whenever possible, describing the colour of the girls hair, size of her breasts, or current clothing, for example.

5. Transitions between positions can happen in two ways. The first is a complete pull out, which starts from the intro to that position. Girls may not like you pulling out when they're having a good time, either becoming unhappy or doing their best to stop you. Second, you can transition to a related position without pulling out, such as moving from a blowjob to deepthroating, or from missionary to piledriver. These smooth transitions have special descriptions to go along with them, and some positions can only be reached by starting in a different one and transitioning.

6. New positions can be added to the game without modifying any of the existing code. A new position object can be created and appended to the Position_List, and it will be available as an option when you start to have sex. This should make it easy for other people to add new sex scenes and descriptions along side the official ones created by me. Modders go wild!

Next, I'll take a look at the new clothing and image system, which will let you build completely player defined outfits and have them be displayed.
