Post launch launch post

Now that most of the launch bugs have been sorted I'll have time to work on 1.2

I've had that poll up for a while now and most of the respondents have voted either "kind of" or "no".
This means that the game really needs a better introduction and guidance. I do agree with this completely. The game as is has no definite goal. The first release was more an engine test rather than a "game" release.

What's going to be in 1.2?


Two main features will be implemented. The board of directors and Wardrobe.
Among these two are of course more sexual acts to do with students/teachers/PTA.
I've had some in-depth discussions with BigBadCat and blackroseheart on fenoxo's forums about quirks and stats. Those will receive a bit of love as long with the training/punishment system to add more rigidity. I pulled the current version's implementation out of my ass and put it together without really thinking about the underlying meta that much.

Board of Directors


I initially thought that the board of directors would come into play much much later but I've revised my plans a bit. It has to be in the game in the next release. With the board of directors implemented they will dish out assignments for you to do and give some weeks to do them in.
Most of the time they will tell you to train someone up and give that person for them to use for a weekend. If you succeed you get rewarded based on how well you, or the other person, did. Fail and you'll spend the weekend with them yourself. Failing multiple times in a row will get you sacked from your position.

With this change the game's core loop will be:
→ Get assignment → Work on assignment → Evaluate ↘
↖        ←        ←        ←        ←        ←        ←        ←

Wardrobe


Clothes are already in the game but neither you or the NPCs can choose what to wear. This will change in the next release. NPCs with high Lust will most likely wear something slutty. Exhibitionists will probably walk around with no bra or panties. Never-nudes will do the opposite and will pick to wear the least revealing clothing.

I'll also add family/household income so rich people wear expensive clothing and poor something more raggedy.

  1. Is there a specific age range the students are supposed to have? Everyone seems 18-20 something, which is weird for a high school.

    1. Even though this is purely fictional I didn't want to get dragged into legal bullshit. Hence everyone is 18+

    2. I would really consider just not mentioning age at all then, it's really strange.

  2. Will you be bringing back the displayed characters similar to the original version at some point? Understandably this might not be a high priority compared to fleshing out the quests and features you plan to add in 1.2, just curious if that is still in the plan or even possible since switching to Unity.

    1. Art will at some point be in the game, probably. I already have some ideas for this. The art needs to be redone now though since I have my patreon page running. Can't really ask money from someone else's work.
      When it comes to art I'm thinking along the lines of spline animations and mesh deforming. Jiggle dem boobs, bitch!

  3. "Most of the time they will tell you to train someone up and give that person for them to use for a weekend."

    But what if I'm a greedy sonuvabitch who doesn't like sharing their conquests? (or vice versa)

    1. You could always just submit yourself to their whim.

  4. I have no idea how to play this game. All I can figure out is walking around the school and other areas, hiring teachers etc. I can sleep at home. I can buy stuff downtown. I can call in a student and tell them to go back to class.

    How do I get something interesting to happen?

    1. The confusing start will be fixed in 1.2
      For now you can go to the detective and get something to blackmail PTA members with.
      There's also a quest line at the sexshop, walk in and wait until you hear the merchant squealing. Talk to her afterwards.

  5. The game looks really cool so far. I like the UI, it's easy to use, smooth and easy on the eyes. Having a bit of a hard time knowing what to do though, maybe there just isn't a whole lot in there yet eh. I hope you keep this up, it looks like it could be really neat.
