Next public release will be out by the end of a week. Now I want to give some info regarding current version progress. I promised easier options to add custom races and body parts and in general the restructure has been complete and next version also features more detailed save file info. This has been done a bit sooner, than I initially anticipated, so I decided to work on my original goal before next release: new sex system. 

As you remember, I've been looking (and making a vote) into getting sex scenes more fleshed out and even looking for the writer recently. The second part wasn't so successful yet, but I also have got a different idea for sex system I quite like: a 'minigame' kind. Basically, it gonna have a set of turns allowing you to pick an action every turn. It's a bit hard to describe in words, but here's some features.

  • Ability to make any combination of participating characters
  • All existing sex options and more with higher impact
  • Full control over every action of every participant
  • Short but very flexible description for actions
  • Constant feedback from all participants 

This system will provide both very dynamic descriptions to ongoing actions and allow you to impact your characters in a way you prefer. By the end of sequence you would get mana reward depending on how successful it was. The real issue of it, is, that it's very complex to write and execute, and not only takes account of new gui and slave behavior, but also forces me to work on dynamic english text and grammar (at least I'm learning new things lol). However, I believe pay-off will be tremendous, as it will be lot more detailed and responsive than anything we previously had.

Last week I've been working on it and there's some progress. My plan is to make bare minimum of functional actions and release it to get the feedback. During last week considerable part of it has already been done, but there's still lots of work. So, next release might happen this weekend, but given all potential bugs (plus bugs from rework of slave class) makes me consider it to be unlikeable. In either case I'll be sure to make a report on this weekend with more details.

A bit like TiTs and Lilith's throne ? Im in :D. Sure it might be hard and you cant be sure it will work, but personally i say take a few week whitout updates and make something beautiful that will make you proud :D. Plus im late in the patch's, so it will give me time to get back in the game :D.

That's a bold move! Looking forward to seeing your implementation. (It's something I've been thinking of coding myself for ages - I'll try my best not to steal your ideas!) One suggestion: since intimacy interactions feature a LOT in Strive (depending on how you play, I suppose) I don't think you should make every single sex encounter a kind of minigame like this. That would mean a lot of clicks and choices just to get some mana, or some unlocks, or some loyalty, for example. For my two cents, I'd say use this minigame model for scenes with a more important impact, and keep something like the current scenes for day-to-day, common interactions. Either way, eagerly waiting to see what you come up with

I plan to keep existing sidecharacter scenes as is and add some way to skip minigame if you are just want quick mana. Its technically not that much of minigame, rather than new way to handle generic sex between characters, which sort of resembles a minigame.
