5.2 - Tasha 2.0
Added 2018-03-21 07:00:59 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Before I get to the main event I wanted to talk about the current development state of 5.2d. The days since the 5.2.22 public release have been a bit of a whirlwind, and unfortunately I haven't been able to get a stable pre-alpha out yet. Here's about where we're at...
The Company - 5.2d Progress
- Diana's interactive event outlined - 100%
- Diana's interactive event built - 10%
- Feature: Intro Skip - 0%
- Feature: Easier Time Pass at Work - 0%
- Feature: TF Stat Decay - 0%
- Feature: Birth Control - 0%
- Address bug reports - 0%
It's not as bleak as it looks. Once Diana's interactive event is complete, the rest of the content will come fairly rapidly. Diana's event, itself, will be quite different from other characters', as it will focus more on how the player responds to her taking control of the situation rather than the player driving the event.
Getting into bed with Diana can be a... risky endeavor. While she respects anyone capable of giving her a good time, she's quick to dominate weakness, and even quicker to punish defiance!
Diana's interactive event will unlock after dosing her to be more flirty, and subsequent serums will require Diana's Lust thresholds to be met via her interactive scene.
Now let's talk about Tasha!
When Tasha was first created, she was designed to be somewhat of a foil to John. While John was arrogant and abrasive, Tasha was subtle and caring. The idea was good, but her implementation was... lacking. For a very long time she had little-to-no real personality and even less character. Tasha was just kind of there. To be honest, while outlining her serum path I really had no idea what to do with her!
Over time, she did start to develop in her own direction. Tasha become a bit of a closet nympho, maybe even a bit of an unintentional dom. She's the girl who'll slap you in chastity because she thinks it'll look neat, then play the "Oopsie!" card when the key breaks. I think this is a great direction for her, and it's one that I intend to continue expanding.
That said, I still felt Tasha was missing... something. Something to define her as a character, something to keep her from fading into the background. I wanted a way to mix up the status quo a little bit, and I started thinking about gender representation.
Then it became obvious.
Tasha
So, do you notice the change? It should be pretty obvious... We moved her arm to the side and gave her a slightly different pose! Oh, and also she's packing.
Tasha is The Company's first non-player transsexual character, and all of her existing content will be updated to reflect this. She'll have content as both an eager top, especially where John's concerned, as well as a happy bottom.
I'm very much looking forward to writing new content for Tasha, and I hope you're looking forward to experiencing it!
That's it for this week. Thank you all so much for your continued feedback and support!

Personally, the fetish content I dig on is the mind control and the interactions Dakota & Mom; I run as a female and turn off all the gender change content. (Basically, I like the g/g stuff.) So for me, this change is a bummer because it takes a very attractive female out. I'd be happier if the gender change was something that the player could control, which would allow me to choose not to do it.

2018-03-24 05:56:25 +0000 UTCI like this idea, I have been hoping for multiples of the special "strap on" from the adult store for a while...or just more options on who gets it.

2018-03-23 16:35:35 +0000 UTCI like the direction you are going with Tasha, just to confirm, does Tasha has only male parts? Or both?

2018-03-23 16:32:39 +0000 UTCOh wow, looking forward to spending a lot of time with Tasha now! Really excited, because up until now I never really paid much attention to her. Can't wait to see what sort of scenes you come up with for her. <3

2018-03-21 23:08:03 +0000 UTCThanks! When it comes to the artwork, all I've really been able to show so far have been the "boring" bust shots for dialogue sequences which, unfortunately, do have some uniformity restrictions. As we move past that and into the action shots and CGs, we'll be able to start exploring the characters' physicality in more detail.

2018-03-21 22:56:08 +0000 UTCLove this change to Tasha! On a different not, while I don't mean to complain, I can't say I love her current art, though. I was sort of hoping Tasha might be the one busty-but-slim character, while this makes her look like the most pear-shaped one. I'm more than willing to be overruled by the masses, but I don't think there's a ton of diversity to the ladies' bodies, at the moment. Obviously, I LOVE this game, and trust Westane's judgement implicitly. Plus, her face is beautiful!

2018-03-21 22:29:06 +0000 UTCi agree i alwase thought it was going to be tasha and diana was the office slut. after all tasha is a dom with a fetish for toys, while diana is so easily corrupted into sex and in my opinion likes sex in general more then any other cherictor except for the player
2018-03-21 22:09:07 +0000 UTCI know my 2 cents worth isn't needed, but here it is... Tasha is in a position to be a real powerful character. With the current content she is flirty with the main character, and eager to please, to the point of becoming subservient (bringing coffee, making out, oral sex) almost like the traditional idea of the office secretary/2nd wife trope, but we also see her, eventually and with some help, becoming a little dominant. I think that if the player starts going a submissive route, Tasha would take advantage of that. .... Example, if player is in chastity device and goes to see Tasha for some oral pleasure, she could offer "Something a little different, since the regular way wont work," And she starts performing analingus... progressing over recurrent visits with digital prostate stimulation, using a sex toy, and finally just topping the player. If John hasn't been reformed, Eventually a trip to the sales office could see the player being reduced to serving them both.

2018-03-21 16:53:07 +0000 UTCI'd say there's a pretty good chance of that.
Westane
2018-03-21 15:59:02 +0000 UTCany chance that Tasha's ark could also support the bimbofican route? just a thought ^^
2018-03-21 15:55:49 +0000 UTCI noticed she's wearing glasses. Was there something else to "point out?" Great decision btw.

2018-03-21 15:04:44 +0000 UTCEch, why ya gotta ruin Tasha Reign :(. Well, thats a character Ill have to learn to avoid now
Nnn
2018-03-21 14:54:21 +0000 UTCYou have my attention Sir!
2018-03-21 14:47:56 +0000 UTCThe problem with withleaving her gender up to the player is the need to then write two paths for her. Given that she already has the most interactions with the one NPC who already has two paths, it could get complicated. Further, I agree with the need to differentiate Tasha with Diane as they both appeared to be taking a femdom roll. Personally, I think this change could be made more palatable by the inclusion of a .gif model as attractive as the current Tasha. Having spent an hour or so looking for a candidate to replace the PC's TS picture, I came across several possibilities such as Bailey Jay or Domino Presley.

2018-03-21 14:23:42 +0000 UTCNot a fan of this change to Tasha in the slightest, it just feels forced, unnecessary, and my main problem is it's happening to an already established character. I'm all for TF content in this game, after all it's why I play it and support you, but making a character TG by default because you felt that they were 'missing something', is like I said before. Forced and unnecessary. I'm all for the ability to turn her TG via dosing, if the player so chooses to do so but alpha/in-development or not, Tasha is an established character and I don't think playing with her gender was a good way to to 'fix her'.
2018-03-21 13:59:40 +0000 UTCYay, more dicks and boobs combos! And a nice domme too.

2018-03-21 12:48:32 +0000 UTCI don’t see the difference, does she have bigger boobs?
