Splendid Ostrich Probably within the next week or so. I'll most likely put up a dev version for early feedback while I'm testing as the way the new changes are mixed into a lot of the more complicated scenes will make it easy for unexpected outcomes to slip through.

Splendid Ostrich Thanks! I'll fix that for the next version. The requirements to model for the bakery are: Charm skill of at least 10 Not bitchy Cuteness of at least 15 if you have the cute trait or 12 otherwise. You get a 4-point bonus to this if you're nice. The harder check for cute characters is because they get 15 points of base cuteness before clothes are taken into account so a non-shy cute girl will fail the check if her outfit is naughty but pass if it's cute or neutral. Shy girls get a cuteness bonus (10 points) and the flirty & sultry traits give penalties. You can also get a small modifier from decorations. I suspect that a naughty outfit is the reason you didn't get to model. I do have a few plans on my todo list for adding more cute clothing, so there'll be more choices there in the future.

Baby J To add a bit more, this is actually kind of formulaic in process and not exactly easy to do. It seems to be more of an oversight in coding than actually teasing someone to the point that they just cum in their pants. I think if this were official it would be even MORE fun to do.

Ozinthesand That is hysterical.

Splendid Ostrich The idea of having more deliberate tease choices might be fun. It'd also be a good counterpoint to the sub/dom type actions. Definitely not something for the PMW release, but I'll make a note of it

Submissive/masochistic content - discussion


Hello everyone!



I've started this post for discussion of what specifically to add

for the prove me wrong release. The winner was “Consensual

submissive/masochistic content (e.g. rough sex, humiliation etc)”.

Considering that this isn't something I was originally planning to

add to the game (as with all PMW candidates), your suggestions on how

to implement it will be especially useful.


There was already a little discussion of this on an earlier post,

but I'm starting a new one so that it'll be the most recent one, and

also as the older one was restricted to voter-patrons and I want the

discussion to be open for everyone.


From the earlier discussion, people wanted content added to

existing scenes rather than being encapsulated into a single new one.

I've started on the preliminaries, and here's my shortlist of things

to add. I feel that it's lacking a bit though – it seems a bit

lightweight and so I want some more ideas.


  • Add a new trait (“Likes it rough”). I was originally

    planning not to do this, but on consideration I think it's

    essential. The Low Self Esteem and Passionate Lover have a certain

    crossover with this, but neither of them really capture what I think

    we want from this update.



  • Modify stat effects & corresponding text for existing

    actions to handle this new trait. It should make the character

    always like 'rough' actions. It should also probably make her

    aroused by being insulted, but unless she has low self esteem she'll

    still dislike the men who are rude to her even if it turns her on.



  • Add an action to existing male-driven sex scenes where the

    character asks her partner to be rough with her. This would

    encourage him to switch to the rough pace and disable the slow one.



  • NPC responses to above action based on traits. Jerks, loving

    men, guys who dislike her, vigorous lovers – these should all get

    custom text.



  • Possibly add a new npc trait (“tender lover”?) that will

    make men refuse to be rough with the pc. However, this might not be

    an appropriate addition for the PMW release. After all, it's sort of

    the opposite of the requested change. What do you think?



  • A new speech action for when the pc has asked her partner to

    be rough. This would involve him insulting or belittling her.

    However, because it's being done as sex-talk, the pc wouldn't

    dislike the man for doing it. Guys who are jerks might get to access

    the action even if she hasn't asked for rough sex, in which case

    there would be relationship effects. There should be different text

    for 'nice' men compared to jerks, but I'm not sure on what

    specifically to put here – suggestions for what you want the men

    to say will be very welcome!



  • A new 'serious talk' option where she asks the man to always

    be rough with her. This would act as if she'd always taken the “ask

    him to be rough” action in future sex scenes, without the player

    having to select it.



  • Deepthroat/face-fucking oral option, which she can request or

    a jerk can do anyway. This would limit the pc's actions unless she

    decides to stop him. Girls who like rough sex would need a willpower

    test to stop deepthroating.





So... as you can see, there are a few things there I could use

help with. There's also some other areas which could use more

content. Here's some where my ideas aren't well fleshed-out:

  • Rough actions for makeouts? But what? I guess there can be an

    alternative breast-groping action where he's so rough it hurts, but

    I'm not sure about what else. Sadly, because of the complexity of

    the clothing system, I'd rather not have him tear or damage her

    clothing while removing it.



  • A humiliation option in dates or at the player's home?

    Perhaps the man uses the pc as a footstool? Or just berates her for

    a bit? Or he ties her hair to something so she can't move (bet that

    wouldn't work in real life!) and she has to watch as he puts his

    feet up and has a beer in her home? Well, there's a bunch of things

    that could go here, but I'm not sure what would be interesting for

    people.



  • Obviously we should keep Cubano satisfied with a

    rough/humiliating breakfast option. Maybe he makes pancakes and

    brings them to her in bed, but he's used syrup to write “you suck”

    on her one?





Well, post a comment with any idea, suggestions, thoughts or comments. I really want to make sure the PMW release is a big success, even if it means taking as long as 0.3.9 did!

Kyle Quesom I'd agree with the suggestion that "I like it rough" and "Talk dirty to me" are two similar, but separate types of behavior. A character with low self esteem might enjoy being called a dirty slut or a cocksleeve because it means her partner is paying attention to her. As for submissive makeout options, how about forceful kissing? He grabs the back of your head and holds you in place, invades your mouth with his tongue, keeps you from breaking away. It could even be a continued action like touching yourself - you're unable to say anything unless you break free first. Similarly he could pull you across his knee and spank you (pretty sure someone else mentioned spanking, if so I second it). He could also force his fingers inside your character's pussy and start working her clit violently to 'get her in the mood' - which would actually work on those with the rough trait. If you're wearing pants he shoves his hand in under your belt/waistband, if you're wearing a dress then he pulls it up. For standing sex he could pin her arm behind her back. That would keep her from doing much on her own, also means she's pressed up hard against the wall. Finally, for doggy style, he could pull her to the edge of the bed so her butt is hanging off the side, giving him complete control of the tempo since she can't pull away. I realize some of these might be hard to implement, but I think most are also useful as occasional moves by assholes and jerks.

Brian Wachs I think this just goes to show that you really can't do submissive without writing extra actions for the partner, because SOMEONE has to be active. Partner-initiated actions seem to logically be the focus of pulling this off.

Splendid Ostrich I've just done the forceful kiss action, and your post was useful for it, thank you.

Kyle Quesom Oh yeah - breakfast. What about if he won't let her have any until she gives him a blowjob while he eats? Especially controlling is she cooked. I know it would be a somewhat new scene, but I bet quite a bit of it could be recycled from the theater.

cubano >Especially controlling is she cooked. I knew this would happen. Once you start adding the rough stuff, cannibalism isn’t far behind.

Splendid Ostrich I did the new breakfast action yesterday, and went with a bit of a different approach that I'd originally been considering as a new date action but I think works a bit better in the next morning scene.

Drgong This looks like a lot of substantial additions, any chance of the monthly small updates and the 4000 add yourself so we see some updates?

Splendid Ostrich PMW will have to be the next release - the code's partway done and it needs to be finished before I can do another build. I won't be implementing every suggestion though - there simply won't be enough time for that much.

September 11, 2015 01:35:37 · Reply

centerflag982 So is 0.4 on hold until the PMW stuff is done? Or are you going to finish it and then PMW will be next after than?

September 11, 2015 05:12:33 · Reply

Splendid Ostrich PMW will be the next release, version 0.3.10. That'll be just PMW content. After that I have a bit of a backlog of other patreon work - event lottery and the $4k milestone. 0.4 will be on hold until I've caught up with that.

Splendid Ostrich I've considered having an achievement system to encourage trying different playstyles and also as a possible way of unlocking some content. However, it'd mean some sort of persistent file to store that, so it might make sense to do alongside some sort of saved properties file. We'll see what the 4k milestone ends up adding in terms of persistence, and maybe it'll be straightforward to add things like that around then.
