Lust Complex: About the spy cams (Patreon)

Hi guys!

So here is the post detailing how you'll be able to spy on your tenants in my new game, Lust Complex, coming this month.

Similar to the furniture interface from my last post, the spy cam interface will allow you to place several cameras in the room to spy on your tenants, earn money from the streaming and collect video used to blackmail them later on.

Similar to the furniture, each spot is fixed and you can't change the position of the camera. You can place up to 10 of them. The particularity here is that the apartment is split in two rooms. So to get events related to a specific room, you'll need at least one camera in the related room. 6 cameras in the main room and 4 cameras in the bathroom.

Having more cameras in a room will increase the income but at a reduced rate the more cameras you have inside. If the first camera in a room net you 100% of income, the second camera will only give 50%, the third one 25% and so on. Having more cameras does give you more angles when viewing the naughty events though :p

Regarding those events, they'll be the naughty kind (pee, bath, shower or masturbation) and you'll be able to see a 3D animation of the tenant doing naughty stuff inside the related room. They will have different blackmail value, the naughtier the higher. The basic events (pee, shower or bath) are done each day so those ones will automatically be unlocked the first week if a camera is placed in the bathroom. But you'll need a few masturbation records before corrupting them if you want things to go smoothly. 

To make things a little more interesting, the quality of the camera not only change the income but also comes with additional features. Like the furniture, it comes in three levels of quality :

• Crappy camera can't rotate nor zoom
• Standard camera can only rotate
• Deluxe camera can rotate and zoom

It is also important to note that the better the quality, the less risk for the tenant to discover the camera. Each week, there will be a random roll (affected by the personality, job and traits of the tenant) to determine if the tenant found a hidden camera and another roll (also affected by the tenant attributes) to know if a new blackmail event has been recorded, in this order. To make things not too annoying, only one camera will be able to be found per week, except for special negative traits.

Having cameras discovered will increase the fear of the tenant which in turn, will impact her weekly satisfaction gain. With a fear too high, her satisfaction will keep dropping and if it falls below her minimum satisfaction requirement, she will move out, giving a negative gossip, harming your reputation. All those parameters are calculated so that the game is quite easy with low rank tenants and becomes harder the higher the rank of the tenants get. It'll need some testing though to make the progression as smooth as possible.

Having a high amount of blackmail material will reduce the impact of fear which is why it'll be better to wait until you get enough material to blackmail them without worrying too much.

For the sake of keeping things simple (I do try to keep it simple sometimes :D) if you place a camera AFTER having found a blackmail sex events and you want to view this event again, you'll have access to this new camera too (even though the logical way would be to prevent this new camera to be used since it was not there when the event took place, but hey, it would make things annoying so let's forget logic this time :p)

I think that should be all for this part. My next post coming in a few days will be about the rent bargaining which is another important part of the game even if quicker to handle.

Thanks for your time!
