I've listened to your ideas. Does this make more sense?

Still undecided about the second bar (not the color, its name) We'll need to see this in-game and test it a bit to give it a final name.

Let me know. Back to the combat graphics for me!

Lust is fine. Maybe attraction?

If this is supposed to be a slave quest shouldn't there be a bar for obedience?

Well I got nothing to lose. So... Umm...How about this for an idea? A virginity system? It could only be a small stat or something, but what i mean by it is this. When ben starts the game, he is (as far is his girls around him know) a virgin naturally. And weather or not they think he is one or if they are effect how certain girls will react to him. For example, if or when you start a sex scene that involves vaginal penetration, whichever girl can ask if ben is a virgin, if he chooses to say he is it has some extra dialogue and the girl will respond in turn, which also varies on weather or not they are one as well and such But them knowing he isn't one, either because they have seen him with the others or something could either could lead to them being displeased with him as he lied to them. Hows this for an idea?

Lust is more of desire for sex then willing to do things like outside their comfort zone like, like some one with high amounts of lust would still not be willing to anal sex. Corruption or obedience may work better

It could work in a game where your 1st time can be with a different girl depending on how you play. As this one is very story-driven, the first time with each girl is part of it, so the order is also given by it. It's a cool idea for another game though! These are fun to discuss in Discord if you want to join the chat! :)

It's more like lust + trust + experience + corruption... Someone suggested affection on the blog, might be generic enough. In any case, we can talk it over.

Did you delete my earlier comment? Because I can't effing see it... It was supposed to be comment #8... >.>

Newman

Nope. I never delete comments. What was it?

It was a very long comment, giving you my opinion and ideas, buuut it seems to have been removed or something. We can't even see the comment, but the page still has it registered, as you can see from the number of comments, there's always 1 out of all the comments that won't appear no matter how many times you click 'Load more comments'. I can probably rewrite the entire thing, but I'll have to do it later. Unless, you can find a way to make it reappear again. Maybe source code or whatever it is programmers use to check information on a page.

Okay, so what I basically said is that you should add 2 or 3 more bars. Add an Obedience Bar (Blue), an Affection Bar (Red), switch Lust Bar to the color Pink, and Combat Skills Bar to the color Brownish Orange. Obedience would represent things like Corruption and would influence on how the character treats you, at a certain Obedience level, they would call you Master and would be willing to do more things for you. Obedience would be for a Slave/Master Route, which is what I imagine you're going for. Lust would influence both Affection and Obedience, such as if they have High Lust, they would be more willing to do things they would normally be against, which in the end, would influence their Affection and Obedience depending on if you give her what she wants or not (Sexual Release). Affection ofcourse, would represent her trust of you and how much she likes you. Affection would influence how she treats you and her willingness to carry out your orders. Normally, Affection would open the Love Route, but I don't think that's what you're going for... So, if she has High Affection and High Obedience, she'll become devoted to you and will not disobey you whatsoever, because by then, you would be everything to her, so she'd be willing to do anything you ask. She'd basically be your dog by that point. These are my ideas, but I honestly wrote much more than this in the first comment I posted. I took these ideas from Free Cities, Rogue-Like and some other game. I also said that I'd be more than willing to talk to you about my/these ideas if you're up for it, and if these ideas interest you. [Edit] I copied this, so I can repost this if it disappear. [Edit 2] Scratch what I said about the colors for Obedience and Combat Skills. Keep Combat Skills as Blue and Obedience would be Purple or Green or something. (Purple cause y'know, corruption and all that)

Thanks for taking the time to write all of that again, I have no idea why your comment is hidden. The thing is that for me, it is pointless to have meters and numbers that don't have any direct effect in gameplay. Your system is comprehensive, but if the scenes are unlocked as the story progresses, there's only need for a meter that says "she's willing" or "there's no way" Of course I could do normal sex be unlocked with one stat and more rough stuff with the other, but it seems to me like a distraction rather than a useful tool for the player. For a less story-focused game, multiple meters add pizzazz, but for Ben X, they would quickly become an annoyance.

Newman

And I imagine there would be a lot more vanilla sex before the good stuff... And that's not me 😁

Deathknight134

Alright then. Suggested it cause I thought it would be more helpful for players as well as add some depth to obedience and affection and how she treats you and all that. Would still be cool though if the idea is considered and implemented in the future, because that means I helped! xD

Newman

Hey, every suggestion helps. Even if we don't follow them, it helps to consider alternatives we hadn't thought about, or to polish the mechanics we already have in lace. You didn't write for nothing, I assure you :)
