The Allure of Wanton Cove progress report
Added 2017-05-12 19:58:24 +0000 UTCWhen I sat down to work on this when I got up today, I had originally hoped to write about 4-5k words of content for the game.
Didn't happen.
On the one hand, I didn't hit the word count I had hoped for, managing about 2500 words of content between five scenes. On the flip side, I decided to add a new mechanic to the game to track the protagonist's fragile grasp on his sanity called "Madness." Its fully in place and ready to go, even if I've only written one scene so far that is affected by it. I also rebuilt the Cheat menu so that it drops you out in the same location you activated it in instead of sending you back to your bedroom each time.
Short version: Didn't write as much as I had planned to, but wrote enough code that I feel like I accomplished more than I set out to do anyway.
Got some errands to run, some chores to do, then if time permits, I'll sit down to do a little more work on this front. If not, then I intend to invest a few hours working on this tomorrow too.
The current plan is to continue writing content through tomorrow, then once the bug fix build is up I'll shift towards writing "Madness" related content which will involve some rewrite to a lot of existing content. I figure I'll do it just like the mutation changes a few builds ago, where I work my way through a couple of groupings each build until everything on my list has been done. At a glance, I expect to work all the way through that list between now and version .9 I've got one more major scene I'd like to write for the game, then I have a list of about ten areas I need to address the "Madness" mechanic and I hope to work through at least two of those before the next major build.
Comments
Fair enough, I kind of suspected as much but wanted to be sure. I'm terrible about catching my own mistakes, so I've got to make the most of it when someone is kind enough to point things out and follow up so I know everything is fixed. Taint scenes will trigger in most of the game's primary locations any time you pass a "5" threshold (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc) so its not unusual for something to trigger right after fooling around with Tanya as most of her scenes will give you between 2 and 5 taint a pop.

2017-05-13 01:07:37 +0000 UTCFound and fixed. Thank you again. Just noticed the second segment where you say the game caused you to masturbate in the hallway? What's wrong with that scene specifically?

2017-05-13 00:57:28 +0000 UTCThank you, that gives me a much better picture of what to run down. The fix should appear with the bug fix I hope to release tomorrow.

2017-05-12 23:04:53 +0000 UTCSo here's the scene, I'm at taint: 117, mutation: 0, & depravity: 1. "Tanya reaches out, taking my hand, "Lead the way," She says with a coy smile. Feeling a rush of excitement, I lead her up the stairs to my room. Once inside, I close the door behind us, locking it before turning back towards Tanya. Her hands go straight to my crotch, deftly unbuckling my belt, "I want to taste you," She says, flushed with arousal. As soon as my little penis is free of my pants, Tanya drops to her kneels. She kisses the tip of my cock, letting her tongue flick out against the slit at it's tip. I moan appreciatively. Leaning forward, she licks the length of my hard shaft, I can't help but notice that she barely has to move her head to reach all of it. One of her hands slips up, fondling my little balls. By the time her lips wrap around the crown of my cock, I already know I'm not going to last long. When her head bobs forward, my entire penis fits easily within her mouth with no visible sign of effort on her part. Less than a week ago, she'd have choked trying the same thing. She moans around my throbbing member, making me ache with the need for release. Her head begins to bob up and down my short shaft rhythmically, her tongue twirling around the head. It doesn't take long before I begin to feel a familiar stirring. She seems to redouble her efforts, her movements becoming fevered and greedy, as if my cum is a drug and she's in desperate need of a fix. A few seconds later, I feel my balls tighten, my cock swelling. I throb and pulse in the wetness of her mouth. Tanya pulls back until just the tip of my cock is in her mouth, her tongue teasing the tip as she feels me beginning to cum. When I begin to unload my seed in her mouth, she catches it. She pulls back once she's milked every last drop of cum from my shaft. She smiles up at me, showing me her mouth full of cum before closing her pink lips and swallowing. Her smile grows when she opens her mouth again, showing me that she just swallowed every last drop of my seed. "Yummy," She purrs softly. When she stands up, she kisses me right on the lips. I can taste a hint of salt, my own cum on her lips. I pull back slightly, reaching out to touch her freckled cheek lightly and brush a strand of long red hair from her face. At the same time, I feel a tug at my jeans. She smiles at me as she pulls my billfold free of my pants. She hands my own billfold to me with a little grin. I smile sheepishly back at her as I take it. It only takes me a second to pull a $10 bill from within and hand it to her. She stuffs the bill between her breasts without looking at it. "I hope we can spend a little time together again, soon," Tanya gives me one more kiss, on the cheek this time as she heads for my room's door. I clean the last remnants of her saliva, and what has to have been a hint of my own cum from my cock. Dear god, that girl has a talented tongue. Get dressed." So fully female character, it recently had a taint scene where they masturbated in the hallway. It's on day 3, basically used the cheat menu to get money and repeatedly hire Tanya.

2017-05-12 22:00:43 +0000 UTCWill have to take a look at Nadia, I know I'd added some high taint scenes with her a couple of builds ago. Will make sure I didn't do something to lock players out of it. It would be a shame if we had a bunch of content people weren't reaching. Will have to look over the scenes you mentioned for the inconsistencies. Do you by chance have specific examples (Copy Paste the scenes here?) as that would make it much quicker to run down and fix the issues. Glad you love the game!

2017-05-12 21:42:27 +0000 UTCIs there a plan to include scenes with Nadia at medium/high levels of taint? It still says you need to get settled at the inn once you hit a certain taint level. Really love the game, especially the new Tanya scenes at high taint. I know coding can be a pain, but I've noticed that with Tanya (and the couple you sometimes encounter in the hallways that you can join), even if you have no balls, it says that you go 'balls-deep' in the person, or penetrate someone with a 'clit-like cock.' I understand it isn't game-breaking, it's just a stylistic thing that make this fantasy story slightly more believable (oh, the irony). Overall, despite anything like that, I love the game

2017-05-12 21:32:39 +0000 UTCThe problem with Taint & Mutation is that they are built into the game in such a way that it would break a lot of stuff if you started decreasing them. So adding those possibilities is very unlikely. Depravity is something that opens up options but does not have an affect on many scenes that are not specific to that mechanic, so adding a decrease to that will mostly just limit sex options in some scenes. Madness on the other hand would be fairly easy to add in that capacity. Will add that one to the list. Madness will include one bad end eventually, but mostly it will be a case of flavor text as the game progresses.

2017-05-12 20:58:44 +0000 UTCIs there a way to work in DECREASING taint/madness/what-have-you into the cheat menu? Maybe not past a certain value or only a certain number of times, or.... well, you get the idea.
