Brief Update on Build 0.4.11 (Part 2) (Patreon)
Content
Hi everyone ^_^
Work on Build 0.4.11 continues, so it's time once again to go over what my main plans are for it. Things are generally the same as with the last build update, just a little further along, and seem to be going well. Currently, I expect a Friday or Saturday build deadline, which will hopefully cover the majority of the intended content outlined in this weeks schedule.
Before that though I thought I'd go over some of my longer term plans for the game. When I originally began work on this game there were things that I either didn't necessarily think through fully, or compromised on their complexity so that I could add them to the game sooner. Below are the major reworks and overhauls that I want to eventually add to the game:
- Reworking Punishments [In Progress] - The in-game general punishment system is very basic currently, what I want to do here is that after every 2 or 3 (currently undecided) complaints the player gets they'll get called in for a major punishment, with the 'bad ends' only occurring at about the 10 complaints mark. In aid of working towards this I somewhat recently added in content like Sex Addiction and Cum Addiction to the Experimentation Lab which are some of the planned punishments the player could end up with, though the intended list is much longer. The aim here is that the punishments will push 'resistant' players into the sexual content, and make the game more re-playable.
- Reworking Skills - This is mostly to do with the planned slave school location that I've mentioned in a few places previously (and will be a big new complex location with new and existing characters featuring within it). Improving skills will be overhauled so that you can improve some skills by just doing them a lot, though the specific training courses will speed up that process significantly. For example, players who do a lot of oral sex will get better at it, unlike how it currently is handled. There will also be additional more normal skills, including an education stat which will play into more technical jobs that I'll eventually be adding.
- Reworking Clothing [In Progress] - I've mentioned this one before, and am currently doing some of the work on this. The first part of this rework is that I've turned many accessories into complex item types, and am tracking certain stats more closely related to clothing. There are lots of minor tweaks related to this, but the biggest aspect is that I want to keep track of the general style of outfit the player is wearing so that NPC's can be more reactive to that (along with jobs also being more reactive).
- Reworking The Brothel - The brothel was an early job that I want to eventually rework into something more complex. Really I want players to have more choice in regard to their clients, and for there to be multiple tiers of the job. Player clothing choices will also impact upon the job in my plans for this, and the brothel job will be better able to support both dominant and submissive players.
- Expanding The Apartment [In Progress] - One of my bigger and possibly more ambitious plans is to completely overhaul the players room into a larger location. In my plans players will be able to pay to expand their apartment, adding on new rooms which will each have their own bonuses/benefits. For example, the players could have a private bathroom (no more paying for showers), or the player could buy a sex dungeon to train their own slaves in, etc. These room expansions will be expensive and increase the players upkeep cost, making it a late game goal to acquire them. I also want there to be limited furniture slots that the player chooses how them fill (and some level of decoration customization to make the place more unique to you). So far I've begun working on the management interface for this, and have an interactive menu for it in the works from my artist.
- Including Roommates [Complete] - Roommates and slaves are now in the game (though maybe more so in the Patreon version - sometimes I lose track a little on what I've added). This will be expanded upon in the future, but the player can now have roommates or slaves who will live in their apartment and will do tasks for them, allowing the player to effectively build up their base of operations within the Center.
- Adding Trainers [In Progress] - The Trainer NPC's are a big part of my plans for the game going forward. Effectively, the added customization of an NPC that turns up and gives you tasks/orders, pushing you towards content that you want to see is an important aspect of how I see the game. I need to do a lot more to expand them, and even the more complete current Trainers (Pet-Play and ABDL) will likely get an expansion at some point so there is more progression within their content. My current priority here though is the Fem/Sissy Trainer and the Slave/Submissive Trainer who will both be major additions in the eyes of most players.
- Adding Hunger/Thirst [In Progress] - The last and one of the more minor additions I want to make, hunger/thirst will add in another life sim aspect for the player to manage. Much like with other instances, I'll be including an automated way of handling this, so that players can just set it so that they eat/drink when they need to, but I see this as another immersive factor that some people will enjoy and a good way of working in more transformation content. So far I've added in numerous food/drink options, and recently put in the snack cupboard to the players room (along with the vending machine in the dorm).
For this build my main intention is still to add in the two clothing stores that were originally planned for the previous build, one that handles more normal clothing (for both males and females - along with business wear), the second that handles bimbo outfits and accessories. After that I'd like to work on a piercing system, and store to go along with that where players can get pierced and buy piercings. Finally, I want to get some work done on catching up with a collection of ABDL commissions.
So, without further ado, the plans for the build are;
- [In Progress] Bimbo clothing store - A new store for bimbo clothing and accessories will be added in this update, with two store workers within it. One will handle selling the accessories, the other will handle selling the clothing.
- Piercings - Piercings will be a new appearance option where players will need to be pierced in a location to be able to wear piercings there. There will be multiple piercing slots (belly button, lower ear, upper ear, septum, nasal, nipple, clit, are the options for now), and players will be able to swap between different piercings within the slot from an interface in their wardrobe. I'll also be setting things up so that 'permanent piercings' can be added (by quests/trainers).
- Piercing store - A new store will be added to the Medical Floor which will offer piercings for sale and will conduct the piercing procedure. It will be run by an alt girl named Isadora, and will eventually double up as a tattoo store when I finally get around to adding that content too.
- (Commissioned) ABDL Sherwin encounters - Sherwin, the bratty little who's good for her 'daddy' will get a new random encounter featuring her offering the player to let her suck her 'daddys' cock with her. I'm also hoping to add a couple of smaller scenes to the ABDL Nursery job featuring her. If I am ahead on things, I might also add in the potty furniture item that was commissioned by the same individual as Sherwin.
- (Commissioned) ABDL Kristen encounter - For Kristen I hope to add in the next of her major encounters within the helping Kristen option for the ABDL Nursery job. In this new scene Kristen will continue to be bullied by Tammy, her bully, and will be made to look again more like a little.
- (Commissioned) ABDL Diaper Racing - A long time in the works, I really want to knuckle down and get the rework of the Diaper Racing mini-game finished within this build. It has been slightly broken for a while, and there are things that generally could do with being added to the main game options. But, the biggest change is that I want to set it up so that there are many different choices for who you face when you play it, each with slightly different play-styles and options, making the mini-game a lot more interesting.
The things that are currently complete for this build are:
- Lots of new clothing
- New underwear
- New neckwear
- New butt plugs
- The normal clothing store
In other news, new monthly polls will be coming out soon, so keep an eye out for those. Commission tier patron messages will also be being sent again soon. Finally, I've recently put in a big new batch of art commissions, so there should be some interesting things coming within that soon.
Hope you all are excited, and happy gaming ^_^
