New feature coming in v0.14: Dates!
Added 2023-01-22 12:39:40 +0000 UTCA new romance feature is coming to Succubus Stories starting in v0.14: dates!
Dates are small, episodic scenes with a handful of choices and situations that allow you to share some special time with your romance partner that isn't just sex. These are intended to be bite-sized pieces of content, and can lead to sex scenes or special events on their own, and in the future, will ultimately lead to a brand new activity you'll be able to do with each partner.
Version 0.14 will only be bringing this feature to Priscilla, but it will come to all romance partners eventually.
Dates are different from events and requests in a few ways, and sort of work like a combination of the two.
- Like requests and unlike events, each date is unique and can only be completed one time.
- Dates are somewhat random; they typically occur in small groups of a few dates. All the dates in a group must be completed to move on to the next group of dates, but the individual dates within each group will be randomized.
- Dates don't get added to the journal, and you go to complete them immediately after agreeing to them. Once you start a date, you will not be able to do anything else until it ends.
- After completing every date, a new activity will be unlocked with your partner!
- Dates will be a moddable system! Modders will be able to add dates to any romance. These dates will only be available after completing all the base-game dates; basically all modded-in dates will act like they're in a single group and that group will act as the last group. I may even release official date mods in the future myself!
Since you can only have one romance partner per playthrough, you can also only experience one partner's dates in each playthrough. While some dates may have branching paths or decisions occasionally, for the most part, dates will be linear enough that you'll see all the major content in each one.
To start a date, you will just need to talk to your partner. Dates are on a cooldown; you need to wait a few time periods (up to a few days) to start a new one after completing the last one.
The new activities aren't 100% set in stone yet, but I do know what Priscilla's is going to be: bathing together.
I'm not sure how many of Priscilla's dates will actually be in v0.14.0, but I intend to have all the dates and the new activity in the game by the time v0.14 comes to the free edition, so I'll continue adding more via patches as we go.
This version will also add Charlotte's romance to the game, and add some stuff to Rais as well! Romance will be a big theme of this update and the next few going forward!
