Sleep deprivation and how to avoid it
Added 2024-05-25 17:55:00 +0000 UTCI've introduced 2 new Status that can afflict each of your party members, independently!
Sleepy: if you don't sleep for 24 hours you'll get this harmless status, just pointing out it's been a while since you camped, rested in an Inn, or slept in Faun's Tavern! Nothing too bad for now.
Dead Tired: reach 48 hours without resting and your party members will unlock their true potential, becoming pretty much worthless! That's a skill too!
All that is left now is for undead Princesses and Progeny to ignore it altogether, and I'm sure I can find other quirky exceptions to this new rule!
For anyone wondering, this mechanic is now necessary for the Kingdom Doesn't Sleep 🥱💤 feature, since now there will be events happening (regarding the grand strategy part of the game) while your party is asleep!
Running an undead (or sleep-deprived) team will ensure you don't miss on possible war declarations or sieges, keeping a grip on the Kingdom's status that only ones that do not sleep can manage!

And lastly since there will be this "kingdom never sleeps" element now, maybe things like egg timers could be tied to the actual time passing in the world rather than having their own seperate timers, incentivizing breeders to rest more often at the potential cost of becoming "Lethargic".

2024-05-26 05:19:15 +0000 UTCPerhaps there could even be a "Lethargic" status as well in case the player rests -too often- when not "Sleepy", let's say 2-3 times in a 24-hour period, debuffing agility and defenses. Additionally there could maybe be an option to have sex beyond the knight's regular endurance limit, but he'd immediately gain the "Sleepy" or "Dead Tired" state in doing so, and by having sex with a succubus, even if he has enough endurance to last through their assaults he'd still end up with the "Dead Tired" state afterwards.

2024-05-26 05:02:59 +0000 UTCThis would be a silly thing, but wouldn't it make sense for cats to also get sleepy much more quickly as cats are known for sleeping 12-16 hours a day? Maybe some other species would also get sleepy/dead tired more quickly but make up for it with greater power for the time they -are- fully awake.
