Good afternoon! I haven't had much time this week, so I've started designing minigames. I'd like to tell you about them.
Currently, five minigames are planned for release this year. I've already mentioned one of them—the date conversation. Now I'll explain two more, also related to dates. These two minigames will go together and will focus on earning LewdHearts during dates, as farming these hearts is currently one of the most inconvenient and tedious parts of the mod, which boils down to giving essence gifts, peeking, and giving magazines to characters. You can also currently earn a few LewdHearts during dates if you choose the right answers. However, I want to make the process more interesting by making the rewards depend on your performance.
So, as you recall, according to the "Dating Update" remaster plans, you earn mood points during a date, the amount of which determines your friendship score at the end. However, at any point during the date, you can use an ability that you'll learn from essences in lewdness planes. This ability triggers two new minigames, which, when completed, will end the date anyway, but with different outcomes depending on your performance. The higher your mood level at the start, the easier it will be to complete them.
The first game will focus on increasing your LewdHearts; it's like Fruit Ninja, but with Thoughts instead of Fruit. Hitting dirty thoughts increases your current lust meter, while hitting other thoughts decreases your mood meter. If your mood meter drops to zero, the date ends, and you'll receive a number of Level Hearts equal to your accumulated lust. If you reach 100% Lust by the end, and the Hot Coffee option is accured, you'll continue the date at the NPC's house.
If you're having trouble with your mood, you can interrupt this minigame to start a second one, where you'll need to construct sentences. If you construct a sentence correctly, the NPC will calm down and their mood will improve. If you make a mistake while constructing a sentence, the NPC will lose some Lust due to cringe. You can interrupt this sentence-building minigame a limited number of times. At the end of the date, you also receive regular friendship based on your remaining mood.
These minigames will be fully implemented with the "Dating Update" remaster later this fall, but I plan to add the "thoughts ninja" minigame in a test format as soon as possible.
That's all for today. Next time, I'll tell you about two more minigames planned for this year. And thank you a lot for your support and good luck!
