Hey guys!
Sorry for the late post. Being 100% honest, the reason for this delay was basically a series of mental conflicts between to post just the mechanic ideas, or wait a bit and post when everything is more solid xD
I’ve been producing a lot of content for the game, but there’s practically nothing visual to show for it, most were plans and codes. The idea was to produce the Dating System, but I noticed it'd be kind of big to implement in this update and we wouldn't have enough erotic content if I do.
I have in mind I should have been showing the development process anyway, even if it’s mostly about ideas and mechanics, but lately, I’ve been getting a lot of feedback that the game gets far more updates regarding mechanics than actual erotic content. That's why I wanted to have anything more concrete about the NSFW stuff of this update instead of just posting its ideas. And now I have something a bit more concrete to show! I can say that this update, despite including new mechanics, is specifically designed to cover a little bit of this gap! We'll have a little more erotic content with most characters possible, and maybe soft hentai! 😎
Why the title "Adding Variability"?
Basically, I want that NPCs, based on their different traits and conditions, tend to do different activities in different ways and time. That would add a variability of scenes that may occasionally happen in game. So it'd always be something spicy happening, I'd say.
Let's go to explanation! xD
Character Reference Sheet
Purity & Chastity
Characters have a counter of purity and chastity. That basically works as the follow.
Purity: how much character mind is pure to avoid lustful thoughts
Chastity: how much character worry about preserving their sexual image
For example:
WOTA is the perfect example, she's a very pervert girl, since her mind is always thinking in lustful things (usually, yaoi thoughts), but she's not that outgoing to really do horny stuffs that expose herself. As you already know, when it happens with her, she simply don't have reaction.
On the other side, WNEI is so pure, that she doesn't even think about her body!!!
So, how exactly would that work?
Instead of only WSIS in one specific moment, most NPCs now can "relief their tension" whenever lust level is high enough and they're in proper area. The calculation works like this:
It checks if next activity is important (those ones in blue color from the activity log. The green is a "pastime", where blue is "routine")
If they're too horny and there's nothing important to do, it checks if they're pure enough to consider doing something lustful
If they're pure enough, it means they don't think in anything lustful this time, then, they lust slightly decreases
If they're not pure enough, it means they thought about anything lustful. So, they'd consider doing anything about that
If character was not pure enough and thought something lustful, it checks if they're chaste enough to resist it
If they're chaste enough, it means they resisted the urge, but their lust increased
If they're not chaste enough, it means they couldn't resist any longer, and will look for some place to relief the tension
No art for now, but I'll try to add it in this update or sooner as possible. That's the hentai part I mentioned about xD
Lust should be more useful now, and also vivid. If you manage to start lustful thoughts in a character, it may start counting in their mind an doing all the work there.
Diligence
Characters also have a level of diligence, that calculates the how efficient they are at doing activities.
That means that diligent characters tend to quickly finish their activities and still have time to do more pastimes, while laziest characters tend to take longer to do their things and might even be late for important things.
Look at the examples:
WUZA arrived at school at 06:44 and start doing pastimes before class time, while WLAZ was still on her way to school and would be late for class.
That implies that characters activities may get a little more variant and related to their traits. You may be able to see certain characters at certain places doing certain activities based on the probability. Not a 100% robotic NPC stuff but a little more vivid-like! \o/ Just like I want the game to feel!
And yes! The idea is that now you may be able to access the Female Locker Room.
Female Locker Room Access
I spent a lot of time planning plausible ideas for player to access the Female Locker without he being just a pervert that will appear there to spy girls. 😇🙏 Game rule is, we're just lucky, and good things use to happen with us.
For now, the main method is to go to the Student Council (maybe you'll need to join it too) and get a quest to access there. The president (WRIN) should give you a quest to do something there, that may be:
Repair a shower or a toilet
Remove an animal that is scaring the girls
Then, while you're with this quest activated or any other quest that require you to enter the Female Locker Room, you may be able to freely walk in there.
Then, "accidentally" see things, of course.
Another Idea To Simplify Things
Also, I've been rethinking something...
🤔 The initial idea is that WMOM's room would have a bathroom with bathtub and things like that, but... It'd just leave content more complex. I'm thinking in just leave her bathing in the common bathroom instead. Maybe I'll rework the house a little more... Maybe I can just say the bathroom has a issue or something like that instead... I don't know.
The idea is to also allow content like this:
Let me know what do you think! o/
House Chores Improvement
That's about the chores-system I mentioned before, where it should allow you to access other content. I changed the common Ren'Py dialogue & choices system to a full menu, where you can chose what to do in the current area you are. It'll be accessible during most of time and not only for convincing WMOM to go with you on neighbors lunch.
By cleaning the house, WMOM may recognize it and you should gain stat points with her. By doing the laundry, you take dirt clothes around the house and may get access to scenes.
If you take WSIS panties while she's in her room, she may get embarrassed and want to punch you.
If WSIS is at the bathroom, you can take all of her clothes to clean. Then, she'll have nothing to wear, and would need to wait until the washing machine finishes its service. Of course, she would be very angry with you! 🥰
WSIS and WMOM should do laundry on sunday mornings (might be accessible during 1st game day). If you're in the right place at the right time, you may see them doing laundry (or not).
But there's nothing really ready for now. I'm working on it an should be back in a few days with the update! So, those are the plans for this update! Let me know your opinion!!! 💛💛💛 xD
Outro
By the way... I changed my Clip Studio Paint 3D model references of HERO; WMOM; WSIS; and WNEI to 3D models based on my Character-Sheet art. Their shoulders; back; hands; and butt got a little weird, but I think they're a little better defined in most points to the game style :D
