The Wardrobe Beta is coming... Dev Notes (Patreon)
Content
So I've started building the Sissy initiation intro with Cherry, but that led to a key feature that needed to be built and of course.. (project scope). I am getting very close to having a playable beta vertical slice of the new wardrobe system... this is going to need a LOT of player feedback... so I'm very keen to get it into as many hot little hands as possible as soon as I can... (Sweet Treats and LIL sluts I'm looking at you first to test basic functionality... and then I'll open it up to more as we go)Hoping for tomorrow... but I really do not like shipping these things out with stuff that I KNOW is broken... so it's just how quickly I can debug what I've got and finalize a few things. But I wanted to take a second and walk all of you through how this new wardrobe system works.FIRST OF ALL:
This is NOT a replacement for outfit inspections...
Outfit inspections will have it's own little area that is much more freeform and allow for all manner of images, outfits and stories (much like we have now)... but that system will live in the 'Performance Zone' where Sissies are dressed up for various videos, streams, narratives and online roleplay. More on this later...
THE DORM ROOM
The Wardrobe is part of the new Sissy Dorm Room. The Dorm Room is basically a Sissy's home screen. It will be customizable, have access to your diary, your messages, etc... but most importantly it will have the Wardrobe... which is your access key to different areas of the site. You'll learn more about your dorm room in upcoming updates...
THE WARDROBE
On our current site we have a few 'outfits' you can purchase that unlock features... The Yellow Dress for the Dr. Lyons session, the School Outfit for punishment positions, etc.
The new revamp takes that idea and edges it over and over and over...
You do not buy an collect outfits... you buy and collect pieces of outfits. The outfit as a whole now serves as a requirement not just to unlock an area of the site... but to access it.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
Well... let's say you login... and your Sissy goals shows you that you still need to complete the Curtsy class. Curtsy class requires your active character to be wearing all the pieces for a school uniform (panties, bra, blouse, tie, scrunchies for pigtails, and mary janes... but with a specific type of skirt...
Not just any skirt. The skirt that is required by the curtsy class instructor.
See, every piece of clothing you accumulate in your wardrobe, carries its own little personality...a set of hidden numbers that say what it turns you into. How innocent you are. How playful. How submissive. How... theatrical. And since a curtsy isn't just a curtsy it's also a performance...it requires the right type of skirt to learn.
And your instructor has standards about what its girls perform in.
So to access the class, you open your Wardrobe. You already have your base school uniform. Cherry helped you put that together in the intro... But you don't have the right type of skirt. You have a tight office skirt, but it doesn't meet the requirements. It doesn't flare the way a proper curtsy needs it to... Your stats and requirements come up short and the door to the curtsy room stays shut.
Which means you have to buy/find... or in this case... earn... your school approved curtsy skirt. I will leave it to your imagination for now what you will have to do to earn that skirt. (Spoilers: It's in the punishment position room) But then you earn it. And you can put together the correct school uniform you need to do that class. But you have to wear it on your character to actually access the class. Which means putting it on.
So you have specific clothing items and requirements to meet both access to the Academy zone itself... and also to the specific class you are trying to get to. And as you dress... you have to remember: You are the porn. So you are being watched, streamed, objectified and monetized. So you slide on the basic training bra for the academy. You haven't unlocked the others yet.... and there are soooo many... To access the office zone (each and every time you want to go there, you have to get dressed right for it... and the office zone requires the full secretary outfit with a pushup bra... You'll need to earn that by the way...But I digress. You grab your sad little white training bra that Cherry gave you and put it on.
And you need to now type in at least 50 characters of a narrative of getting dressed. With the reminder that you are the porn... you are being watched and wanked to and monetized and every single item you try on, is content and being recorded. So you try it on... and you have little stat bars available.
... I mean... it's a training bra... what do you expect huge stats? But note how low these percentages are... can you imagine the outfit items that max these outs? evil grinSo... you type in your narrative... only 50 characters (that much is required) and...
It adds to your session log. Now you will notice the item itself has a little 'director' note attached for flavor. Sissies are going to see some of this (much of it may be redacted) but each item has it's own little 'camera direction'. ... but no time to rest, you're still standing there in your sissylink belt while all the pervs are watching you... so you put on panties...
You see the stats of these. Again, these are the baseline ones that Cherry gave you. The little ruffled ones that your friends have with the bows on front... well you'll have to earn those... but they make your Sissy stats so much better.And as you try it on for the first time...
You get a nice little first equip popup with an animation (thank you Julia for your help putting these first ones together)...you can always replay this first equip narration and video at any time if your try on screen if you need inspiration for what to write as you put them on.
And your experience is added to your live stream. Stats accumulating with each item.So you finish your uniform... but you forget that you have to wear your new fancy skirt. So even though you wrote a log for the old skirt, you still did not unlock the Academy Curtsy Outfit... so you take off the skirt and add the new one. The previous log is still there... but now you have an added one... so each piece that you try on and take off as you try to meet the requirements and stats, is documented for your viewing audience.And when you finally get the whole outfit put together... you Submit.
Just showing the first two items here to avoid spoilers... :DSo this is a piece of content that is now hooked to your character. Sissies can view it and Managers can view it. It shows some fun stuff too.
The title of your post is 'Watch 'your most dominant stat' 'your name' get dressed in her 'outfit'.Your name is a link to your profile and other content. The number watching is dynamic and based off of your Sissy level in terms of how many streamers follow you. 0 Chatting is the new comment system... more on that soon.
A link to your full archive of posting and profile. Your stats shown for this outfit... and your biometrics being tracked by your Sissylink at the bottom (in Real Time. :D. You should see what happens when people react to your post).Now the image presented is the default one for the outfit. You can... of course... upload your own version (which is preferred...) but if you not want to take the time to upload your own image, one will be provided for you. But in terms of engagement, players are going to instantly gravitate towards the non-generic ones to interact with... so you'll want to do that like a good girl. :DClicking on the image "camera feed" brings up an expanded version of the image with no cropping (just in case you do horizontal or an image that does not perfectly fit the design.
And finally you have the narrative that you created. The Sissy view will of course have some of the director's notes redacted... but Managers are able to always see the whole thing. Including all of your submitted try on notes.
Note at the bottom you have 'reactions'. Sissies are able to earn and unlock different reactions to posts. Each one of these tallies onto the post as well as activating a ahem queued Real Life™ vibration for those utilizing a Lovense device. Managers get a very different menu...
These are Manager commands. Spank being the first one you unlock... which allows you to deliver a punishment, a spank with power based off of an actual little minigame, and a requirement that the sissy type a specific thank you phrase to you for spanking them. Managers can unlock a variety of tools here: currently 'Summons', 'Good Girl', and 'Monetize' are planned.
Engaging in either a reaction of a manager control, increases your score and abilities over time.
So as you can see this is quite a lot of gaming infrastructure. What I am most excited about is the ease of item and outfit creation (I built the whole system for easy expansion unlike our current system)... and I personally love the idea that Sissies HAVE to wear an outfit to participate in various parts of the site... so you can't just GO to a Manager's office. You have to dress for it first. You can't just GO to the restaurant to waitress... you have to earn all the outfit pieces, assemble it... and then put it on each and every time, which makes you create content for others to engage in.
...and if you've read the Manager notes... just clicking to open one of these is a loot crate scenario for Managers... so you are literally becoming a little present to open each time you put on your clothes.
Brace yourselves, sluts! The beta is coming. I'm very excited to see what you think of all of this. Thank you to everyone who is supporting here... your contribution helps make this possible...
(and special thanks to Julia for helping create some starter videos for dressing)
