Have no fear, while I do to a certain degree like furrieness, it doesn't have very much of a place in this game, and I will in all likelihood not write anything involving it. Humans are after all what I'm attracted to :P <br /><br />And now that I'm done with todays exercise, I will start writing this event :). I suspect it will become quite large, since you are in effect starting your own business.Echoridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03749594832150482010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-43817684382325770242011-06-16T15:34:12.193-04:002011-06-16T15:34:12.193-04:00@Everyone: So many good ideas on this post :D
@Ke...@Everyone: So many good ideas on this post :D<br /><br />@Kei-chan: Yeah, I'm trying to avoid going too furry. I prefer things like catgirls, cowgirls, etc. though I do have a strange fascination with bizarre cocks transplanted on humanoids (horsecocks for example, or a demonic cock) and/or transformations (hooves, claws, etc.) without going to far into the realm of furriness. <br /><br />@Nazca: As far as perversion goes, that in a sense is your lust score. It doesn't appear that detrimental for now as you are in the main city of the game, but the higher your lust ultimately the more perverse you are. In the sex system, certain sexual abilities can only be triggered with high lust (think those that are more about gratifying yourself. While this is a bad example as you don't need high lust for this, giving someone a facial would be the example of a type of lusty sex action). Low lust is more about the other side of the coin, being less about your gratification but more of your partner's gratification as well.<br /><br />That's why when you have high lust, you receive penalties to social skills as your wandering eye/drooling betrays your character's true desires: satisfying themselves. <br /><br />It's also why it raises your arousal faster, you are constantly searching for that climax (hence you reach it more quickly and get aroused easier). While with lower lust it's immediately apparent it's harder to get into sexual situations, it will also be easier when the sex system is in place to keep from hitting the 100% arousal point (more on this in a future post).<br /><br />I think good / evil was perhaps the wrong word. I've been framing it more as a reputation system which I guess is pretty much the same in a sense. When you do things that are bad or evil, you get a bad reputation and vice versa. There is one such event already that starts making use of this but only on a rudimentary level. This is something that will constantly be expanded upon.Tacokinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716699783038490368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-44524141313637913382011-06-16T15:11:49.903-04:002011-06-16T15:11:49.903-04:00@Echorid

That will obviously change. On the FP boards, some people have even suggested I make it alter your appearance (ala Fable). I suggested for example, if you are really evil you may get a red aura or something anime-esque later on like that. <br /><br />The beauty of a text game is you can do virtually anything since it's text, graphics hinder your flexibility. The only downside to text games is that...they are text so they force you to use the imagination.

My last two post were...Why is there no edit button? My last two post were riddled with silly spelling errors >.<<br /><br />Right, I'll take care in the future, lesson learned.<br /><br />My take on the travel system as it is now is that it doesn't quite work. But! The game is nowhere near finished, and the plan was to add in equipment (boots) that would reduce FP consumed when traveling, which would alleviate some of the gripe with traveling.<br /><br />Another system could be that you have a set amount of travel points a day, and when you run out, you have to stop to take a short break, expending some of your FP. This is an idea I got right now, and I have no idea if it would work.<br /><br />As for the bad ends, I do have to agree with Tacoking. First of all, it's just not my cup of tea (I don't like ryona games either. I don't want to lose to see the naughty bits, I want to strive for victory, with them as an incentive to do well.) There might be areas or encounters that would open up for bad ends, say, you are given the option to steal the loot of a dragon, but then your character, or someone else, would make certain to point out the possibility of death. Since saving takes a long time, it would suck to lose a character you've been playing with for a long time due to a miss-click, or for having skimmed through the text.<br /><br />I do have a milking event planned, and a whole lot of events involving that restaurant. There will not be cowgirls involved for this event though. As for cowgirls and other such transformations, pornarium is a bit, well, "normalized"(?) compared to say CoC and Nimin. I love those games as well, don't get me wrong, but it can get a bit out of hand at times :P. You will get to ridiculous sizes here too, don't worry (I'll even try to draw a paper doll to reflect that, though this is not a certainty), but your “tools” will hopefully remain of a “practical” size… most of the time. Personally I think the starting area gives you too much to play with (eg 18" cock size), and would have liked to decrease such numbers as the game expands, so that it is a bit more evenly spaced over the new areas, but I'm probably alone in that regard :P.<br /><br />I believe I'm forgetting something. Oh yes, cowgirls! I think I tried to make a point up there, and that would probably be: no, and yes. I do not mind transformations such as the neko transformations, nor would I mind a transformation where you get a cow's tails, ears, and start mooing, great quantities of milk flowing forth from your breasts. Udders and hooves and whatnot... not so much. It feels a bit out of place in this game, to me at least, and so I would probably not write such changes unless Tacoking wants me to. I will make no effort to stop such things from happening though.<br /><br />With that said, there is no reason for cowgirls not to exist in the world, and who is to say that you won't encounter a farm with them. And who is to say that you can't expand upon that, perhaps taking ownerships as you get your own personal cowgirl harem... I don't think I can skip writing such an event now, can I? :P<br /><br />Now, you might call that slave maker-ish, I'd call it a quest. And which adventurer could pass up a man with a golden exclamation mark floating above his head? As much as this is about personal exploration and expansion (quite literally really), it's still you interacting with the world if you do such a quest. And ultimately, you'd get things that directly affect you out of the deal.<br /><br />Transit system has been written, and will let you use money to save FP over long distances.<br /><br />Oh yeah, also: About the attribute screen. I'll work on creating some mockups today, as I have a clear idea of what I'd like it to look like. Then you guys and Tacoking can have a jab at them. There probably won't be any fancy graphics just yet, but I’m hoping there will be in the future, if the engine allows it.Echoridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03749594832150482010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-22329097479875863162011-06-16T04:22:29.163-04:002011-06-16T04:22:29.163-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Echoridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03749594832150482010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-81323580502320570732011-06-16T03:39:26.029-04:002011-06-16T03:39:26.029-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Echoridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03749594832150482010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-78643376022479824622011-06-16T03:28:41.952-04:002011-06-16T03:28:41.952-04:00Not sure if you still want this sort of thing here...Not sure if you still want this sort of thing here, but I'd like to make my own suggestion. Not necessarilly small, and probably already to some degree planned. But lovers/pets or however you want to put it. More or less live-in fuck buddies that you can 'recruit'. <br /><br />Also, expansions to your apartment, more furniture, upgrades to a better apartment in the complex, for when you've got so much clutter that it seems silly for the apartment size. <br /><br />Also, so far I found the neko fruit as a 'furry' item, which I quite enjoy, though I wish I could get past ears, tail, and adorable eyes. <br /><br />Also, the ghost encounter gets a biiiiitttt high.... perhaps if you learn magic later youc an ward yourself so you can get a choice after a point to either allow her to approach you or avoid her altogether?<br /><br />On that note, I DO have a question about magic.

I originally promised (more like pledged) to optimize the game for 1024x768 and it's the main reason why the travel window is separate. You can hit "T" to bring up the travel menu and use the numpad to activate the various directions. I don't think I ever really made it a point to clearly state this so I think I should write a post about this to maybe educate people on these tricks :)<br /><br />I do have an idea for a quick travel system and Echorid has already written an event on this, there is just nowhere to go yet so I haven't placed it in game yet.<br /><br />I like the day of the week events too.<br /><br />Combat will be turn based but not overly complicated. There will be a sex system too which works as a sort of sex based combat system. I'll post more about that in the future though.<br /><br />I can happily say that most of the things on your Medium / Large list will be in the game, though I don't really have any plans to own someone in a slave capacity. That could change but I did want to make this game purposefully different from Slavemaker. One thing I always felt about Slavemaker was that it (appropriately so) was all about your slaves and not enough about you. I wanted to make a game that's focused solely on your character. That said, as the game expands if a lot of people want to own slaves and do things of that nature I'll start working it in :)Tacokinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716699783038490368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4039366557046368292.post-31903766789647012642011-06-16T00:25:21.609-04:002011-06-16T00:25:21.609-04:00@Kei-chan: I do think the FP system does need to b...@Kei-chan: I do think the FP system does need to be revised, and I think you bring up a good point about the shower. It isn't really tiring to take a shower. I think the restaurant does restore FP if you eat there but it's a very small amount. As far as bad ends, one thing I am trying to do with this game is to have virtually no end. I know that may not appeal to some people, but the general idea is that it could go on endlessly. If anything, by letting yourself get such a high lust attribute (let's pick an arbitrary value of 500) you literally would become a victim of your lust. By letting yourself getting out of control, your character would constantly fall victim to being perpetually horny. I guess I want people to know something bad is coming, and if you ignore the warnings things will be difficult (and ideally should play out in game that way) but there is always a way out. <br /><br />I'm glad you are interested as well. I have what I think is a pretty cool image for the game and I'm hoping that I can get some input from the community (hence this post) to help me shape the game into something awesome. Sometimes I may disagree with some suggestions but generally I feel I'm pretty open to most of them. If you like what you see now, I can only hope that it will continue to improve.<br /><br />@Bearhook: Every other step is about 1FP if that helps :)<br /><br />@Hedrax:Hmmm, maybe eventually I'll start a name that fatigue bar post. <br /><br />@Seip: Good points, though I think as the game world expands the sleep penalty will be plenty bad but not overbearing (the sex system / combat system are not implemented which are heavily fatigue point based). Jail is a tricky one for me, I want it to be annoying but not so annoying that people get angry every time they get sent to jail. An irritating interruption that restarts your travel plans. I have a feeling I'll continue to tweak it to make it better. I do like the option of bribing the cop though. Perhaps I'll add a cop as a character in the sex system to give a seduction option as well.<br /><br />@Nazca: I have a definite equipment system in the works. In earlier versions (Which I don't believe I have anymore) there was an equipment screen that said you were wearing pants, a shirt, and some boots but other than a plain description it didn't do anything. In the future I plan to have all sorts of equipment that modifiers your attributes and skills.<br /><br />I do apologize with my terrible UI though I am happy to report you CAN use multiple item stacks. If you click on an item and select "equip item" it will make a button on the main screen for that item.<br /><br />Yes, I am using VB. I originally started the project with something Archaic called liberty basic. There was a "dep protection violation" or some assorted error with a DLL (it was something that was made in the windows 95 era apparently so it never used DEP stuff) that I don't quite understand because I'm still learning that caused quite a stir on the Futanaripalaceboards. To avoid any bad opinions about the game and to improve the code I switched to Visual Basic. I quickly picked it up as it was extremely similar to liberty basic and was able to transfer the code fairly easily. I don't dislike actionscript, but I am unfamaliar with it so I would not choose to program in it.<br /><br />Good point about kicking you back to the marketplace, I'll try and fix that in the next version.<br /><br />The milk idea is a good one, actually Echorid has some evil plans for that.Tacokinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15716699783038490368noreply@blogger.com
