8/25/17 and Countdown 5
Added 2017-08-25 23:32:09 +0000 UTCHi folks. Not much news this time. Just did some more work on the game and finished the post game teaser. I've put a lot of thought into redoing some aspects of the character system. None of this will be in the current version of the game, since I came up with these ideas only a few days ago but I felt like commenting on them.
Firstly, as you all might know by now, I have the familiarity set up with the characters so that there are 6 levels you can reach which will give you more and more interaction with that character, with each one giving you something more. Such as how level 3 is where most of the spanking is unlocked. However, I feel that currently the level is too complex and doesn't provide enough for the trouble you go through to unlock them. In the future versions, I think I'll simplify them to 4 levels (0, 1, 2, 3). 0 will be before you ever talk to them, and isn't really a level. 1 will be the base level after you introduce yourself, only spankos and the like will have spanking options open at this point. Level 2 will be reached through doing small tasks to raise their affinity (gifting items (not unique to the character), compliments, talking a certain number of times, etc.) and on that level a certain type of spanking will unlock. I haven't decided as to whether that type will be limited to a scene where the player is top or bottom specifically, because that could lock out entire characters for people looking to do a spankee or spanker only run. Either way, if that spanking is done successfully (punished if a punishment, happy if for fun, endured if being spanked, etc) then the level will be raised to 3, where the rest of the spanking scenes are unlocked with them and the player can access new dialogue and info from the character. I know I mentioned a sort of system where you can go to one level higher with certain characters as a romance option, but I think I'm going to change that so once you get to level 3 with certain characters, you unlock a special event with them that would only happen if you were close with them. So a little different from the "meet character spank/get spank" and will actually have more depth.
