That's what we'll have to figure out, eventually. XD

Anyway, this week I worked toward the completion of the noble quest. I think the puzzles are fun, and the characters interesting, so I am pleased with how it's coming along. I am trying to keep each individual quest given by a noble short and simple, but some of them should still provide a challenge, and some insight in the NPCs themselves. There is still more to be done, but I expanded the castle, completed 3 quests added a new scene and more, so things are going well. ^_^

I'll probably get back to Carla the first few days of this week, so I can mark it off my list (I switched to the noble quest mainly because I had plans for it since a while ago, so it was easier to make progress), and hopefully I'll finish both that and the noble quest.

If I find myself ahead of schedule, I might finally implement some system changes to how I handle late night (so we can sleep outside of our house), and if that goes well, I'll add the restrictions to travel in chapter 2 properly, so you'll need to get the merchant pass or pay an hefty fee to travel by sea. I'll have to decide how to handle a few things (like skipping payments to the farm, or if I want to have different exhibtionist events depending on the city, how should I handle the vampire scenes, etc), and I might consider adding dreams to the game (if I do, I'll probably have to force some kind of "priority list" so we don't get tons of events each night).

Anyway, this is pretty much it for the moment, do let me know what you think about it in the comments, thanks to everyone for the support, and as always, see you next week! ^_^

Adding dreams... Ah the age old philosophical question... Do cows dream of milking?

Speaking of adding in the ability to sleep in various locations, I remember the brothel mistress offering to let you stay there if you wanted. Could be a way to lead into an expansion of that area of the game. I seem to remember one of the girls that will visit you is probably a noble, the one that plays with your magic. Maybe a relationship with her could involve getting pulled into the noble storyline from a different angle? Just brainstorming, as though you don't already have enough fun paths on your plate to work on haha.

I am sure they do... At least the Zanti cows in my game. :^

I do want to expand the brothel some more, but I wonder what should happen if you sleep there (maybe getting closer with the other workers)? We'll see, maybe it's worth to do it. The noble path will always start with the quest to rescue the missing noble, for simplicity's sake, but I think we might get some different dialogues if we whore ourselves out as a noble (and maybe get some special requests if we are famous enough). There is actually a lot to consider as far as interactions go once we get to the noble title (I assume the player will get a few free "get out of jail" cards because of it in certain scenes).

If an emperor has sex with you, are you royally screwed? ...........depends on if his wife finds out :P

Getting close to the other workers could give you a few paths, one for each of the directions they go. Get some more impactful dominance/submission stuff to compliment those two (rather than just the temporary scenes), and maybe the middle ground girl can teach you new tricks and just in general be your friend (or rival, depending on how you want to develop her personality). You could also set up some scenarios that occur as a result of you being around the brothel more often and/or at weird times. Maybe some "emergency" shows up like some VIP customer demanding something specific, and the relevant whore isn't there or needs assistance. It could be a way to push the PC in a direction by playing on their obligation to help out. Maybe one night while sleeping you accidentally shapeshift into something, leading to the brothel mistress blackmailing you with the info in exchange for applying your shapeshifting talents to help her with the business? Something like that would need to wait until we get shapeshifts that aren't just mice and fish though. Or maybe something I've seen in other games: offering a better cut of the profits if the PC agrees to become more of a regular employee instead of our current deal where we just show up whenever. It could lead to the PC agreeing to more and more controlling contracts that result in them effectively being owned by the brothel. Since you're sleeping in a shadier area of town, you could also have some things related to that, be it something directly involving the brothel or even just the PC being in the area at the time of something in particular. Getting caught in some kind of crime scenario, or even something strange like that crazy church nearby looking for new recruits in the middle of the night.

I think making "friends" and having some nightly booty calls should be interesting! When I get working to the law/slavery part of the game, having a binding contract might be something worth considering. I guess we could add some random events related to where you go to sleep, but that might be a little too annoying to add (I'd need to check if you aren't already in the building, for example). Anyway, those were all interesting suggestions. :)
