LC v0.46a dev build is out! (Patreon)
Content
If you're a tier 2 patron, you can play the dev build here! The changelog is below.
HUD/UI
- Graphical changes. You can see those by looking. :3
- Tooltips! Finally! Hover your mouse over stuff to see wtf it is. This has been needed since day 1.
Mana and Concentration
- "Health" system - Sexual stimulation can break your concentration, causing you to lose your changeling disguise (you lose the round).
- Concentration - Shields, basically. They absorb stimulation (damage) and recharge over time. The closer to orgasm you are, the slower your concentration recharges. During orgasm, it doesn't recharge at all.
- New mana system - You start with a pool of mana points, which you can allocate to different abilities in order to power them up. Mana is also your health - if you lose all your mana points, you lose the round (nothing actually happens yet, but it'll show the "Failure" screen from previous versions)
Abilities
- Passive abilities work constantly as long as they're powered with mana. More mana points makes the effect stronger.
- Activated abilities have to charge up once powered, and only last for a short time once activated. More mana points reduces the charge time and increases the effect's duration.
- Uterus and Stomach storage count as passive abilities.
- Recovery (passive) - increases Concentration recharge rate.
- Numb (activated) - the player and the stallions are temporarily immune to sexual stimulation. Useful if your Concentration is all gone and you're about to start losing mana points. Also useful to keep the stallions from orgasming a little longer so they build up more love to output.
- Ecstasy (activated) - amplifies stimulation on everyone. Brings lovers to orgasm very quickly, but is dangerous because it can break through your Concentration super fast.
Yeah, it's... not balanced. But, it IS balance-able! Making new abilities is pretty easy, so I think different characters will have different sets of abilities, so they all have unique playstyles. And allowing upgrades on the abilities and on the starting mana pool will be pretty easy too. Yay!
Animation
A better system is set up so that lovers can choose unique sets of animations, and switch to them at different times. Now they start slower, then speed up and thrust deeper as they get more excited.
This'll get more robust as I finish implementing the idea. I'm thinking like, warming up to anal with hotdogging first, then teasing the tip in, then diving all the way in to finish. The way I'm building character animations, you'll be able to meet the same stallion as Rarity or Twilight or whoever, and that stallion's lovemaking style will be similar. So we can have smooth-riding Shining Armor and beast-mode Big Mac, and they'll always be consistent.
This version adds a few variations on the original animations to make use of the system.
Broken stuff, unfinished stuff
- Collection is totally broken, yo. Not even an option for it right now. It's on purpose, though! Will fix, promise <3
- The gameplay might seem weirdly unfinished. It's centered around the idea of rounds, but there are no rounds yet. Instead of an infinite stream of random stallions, one round will basically be one gangbang. You'll have a group of like 4-10 lovers you have to get through for one round. They'll have varying traits, and some might be difficult to please, or they might be super good at loving and break your concentration. You'll have to collect as much love as possible without letting your changeling disguise drop.
- The Lovers' section of the UI is yet to be redone.
- AJ isn't enabled in this one. :3
Thank you all for sticking with LC. Can't wait to get the AJ rig out! <3
