5.2 - Dreaming of Diana
Added 2018-03-14 07:00:01 +0000 UTCHello everyone!
Releases and Rollbacks
5.2.21 is out for patrons and in a few days I'll be releasing 5.2.22 to the public. The jump in version number is simply to reflect that I'll be making a small change to the stamina drain mechanic I introduced in the last update.
There's been a lot of feedback regarding how orgasming in the game now drains half your stamina, and the biggest takeaway for me was that it was making people actively avoid some content. Obviously, this is the last thing I want to have happen, so with the public release I'll be dialing back the impact.
Starting with 5.2.22, you'll lose a fixed amount of stamina based on your current arousal when your character orgasms. For those who don't know, the current arousal system works on a scale from 0 to 3. Bimbos are locked to 3 (max) arousal, while Sissies are locked to 2. The amount of stamina you lose will be based on the amount of arousal you lose from the orgasm. If you're at 3 arousal and drop to 0, you'll lose 3 stamina. From 0 to 0, you won't lose any. This also means that Bimbos will remain completely insatiable as no amount of release will lessen their drive!
I like the mechanic for flavor, but it shouldn't cripple other aspects of the game. At a fixed value you should feel the effects less and less as you increase your maximum stamina, but the effect will still be there to add some variety in how your days play out.
Please continue to provide feedback regarding this and other mechanics so that I can continue to fine tune the game!
And Now, Diana.
Diana's minor patch will, admittedly, be the most minor of the bunch. As far as content is concerned, she'll only really be receiving a single interactive event in her office. Naturally, I'll be adding some actions unique to Diana, particularly those that cater to the femdom crowd.
Since I'll be spending slightly less time writing actual content, I plan on trying to address some of the other minor mechanical aspects. This includes birth control, the promised intro skip, and other items.
Those with access to pre-alpha builds will start seeing new builds start to appear within the next couple days!
And Now, More Diana!
This week seems like a pretty appropriate time to reveal, well, Diana!

RD's provided a pretty fantastic representation of the live model here, and I can't wait to start seeing her in action! With Diana revealed, the only main cast member I haven't shown you yet is Julia...
...So let's change that!

Not bad, right? We also have a bimbo variant lined up for, well, for if it's ever needed, hehe.
With the main cast in place we're working on finishing the remaining character gender states which I'm excited to reveal in a couple weeks. Next week's art reveal will be a very special one, as well as very NSFW! Look forward to it!
Thank you all for your continued support and feedback!

I love what you do, you peeps are really trying to make a game and not patting your bank accounts like some kind of bro-sim. keep up the hard work!
2018-03-15 07:42:59 +0000 UTCAll good. One thing to keep in mind is that we've been in boring bust territory for a while now. Now that we're finally done we can get to the fun stuff!

2018-03-15 02:42:34 +0000 UTCI think this would only work while Penny is present, as well, since if you craft serums alone, it eats up the entire section of time.

2018-03-14 17:35:35 +0000 UTCWhat is RD's HF handle?
2018-03-14 17:27:55 +0000 UTCCan you add a craft all option for serums, this is my one complaint. It can take forever once you can make higher yields of ingredients to make all of the serums.
2018-03-14 16:17:24 +0000 UTCDiana has too many yet-to-be-revealed roles to play as the story moves forward for any radical changes to occur. Doesn't mean we can't have some fun with her though.

2018-03-14 15:47:32 +0000 UTCDoes this mean you plan to give Diana something similar to John's path where she takes over the game? I mean that's cool and all, but something less brutal would be nice. I still foolishly hold out hope that John and Diana will be able to be dosed to become a sugar daddy/mommy one day.

2018-03-14 15:14:29 +0000 UTCIt would actually do the opposite since toys and whatnot would keep your base arousal high, resulting in less stamina lost.
Westane
2018-03-14 14:41:57 +0000 UTCWould the stamina drain be effected by toys, make-up and clothes? Because I feel like it would discourage dressing like a slut.
2018-03-14 14:39:53 +0000 UTCMaybe along with the stamina mechanic, there should be a player orgasm mechanic, just as the NPC's have. Player and NPC orgasms could then be handled individually, with player orgasm level linked to their arousal. Players would start with the same low stamina, but under high arousal, would still be able to climax. Players with high stamina, would be able to repeatedly climax, with their orgasm level increasing by one each time, making it more and more difficult each time. The dynamic scenes would end when either their stamina has drained, or the player or NPC chooses to end the scene (possibly an NPC stamina mechanic also? One that increases after each dose?). Orgasm level would be reset on sleep, and this way, stamina would never be affected by it, meaning you could still have sex, just cant orgasm. The biggest problem with this is that it could lead to continuity errors in static scenes where the player does orgasms, but all things considered, not a huge deal. Anyway, if you need help with any of the coding, I'd be happy to help if I can.
2018-03-14 14:32:24 +0000 UTCbasic implementation dude. its probably just going to be her sex scene or advancement in story nothing big at all
2018-03-14 13:42:39 +0000 UTCWhile I'm glad femdom fans will get more stuff with Diana, I'm curious if there's any chance she'll also get some switching content.
