(gambling testing)
More random encounters and areas are planned
including a pretty funny one in a store.
Also, you can now get Adeline drunk with random consequences. There will be a
mini quest related to one of the drunken consequences as well.
(why drink in a bad neighborhood?....because you can)
Since most of the fundamental system coding is
done, I am spending most of my free time writing next week. Also need to start
editing some location image to fit the story better.

ReplyDeleteOooh...I like the "random results" from her intoxication. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou have some excellent ideas. Can't wait to see them played out in the game.
I typically like to play the "innocent" or "naive" sort of character. Sometimes she gets a bit corrupted (as in secretly enjoys some of the unwanted stimuli that's given to her). Other times she just "grins and bears it" and rationalizes that it's for the greater good. Or sometimes she just freezes...that is she would be so shocked at say anything or react to the unwanted advances, that the perp (male or female) would take this as consent and keep molesting her. She would be too far gone at that point to resist, regardless of her fear and embarrassment.
I hear you on the hentai images. Most of the ones I've seen can be pretty extreme as well. I just don't like ridiculously sized breasts and grotesque monsters and tons of graphic violence/pain/etc. I don't know how you will work images into the game, but I do confess that I like the ADwR "Fade to Black" and the images left to one's own imagination. But if some of the images inspire you to do a group rape or gang rape or restraint (either player character or NPC), then that also works for me too. ;)
Appreciate you taking on a project like this. Especially since a lot of these RAGS games pretty much mind control stories and that's it. (at least those that I've found anyway) So I really like the ideas that you're working on.
Thanks for your support! Hopefully I won't disappoint.
DeleteUnfortunately, I don't think it is possible to play Adeline as an "innocent" character because she is an experienced cop, it won't make much sense if she is doesn't know corruption exist in her town. She will be a bit "naive" about a major area in the game though, so it is possible that she would fall into a few traps. Personality wise, she is a very prideful woman. Therefore, either she would try her best to defend herself from any humiliations, or she is a bit promiscuous because she is also proud of her sexuality as well. So, I will mainly working on two or three dialog choices during scenes. However, I am always open to suggestions. As long as it makes sense, I could add more choices later on.
As for the images, I do need them to compensate my writing skill. However, I cherry pick the ones which look more natural to me and I try to edit some other images that resemble Ada Wong. The images used in bad ends will be a bit less restricted though (bondage / group scene), but there won't be any gory stuff in the game. Also, quite a few of nonconsensual scenes are in the game, but they can be all avoided. You could play a game where nothing bad happen to Adeline by avoids make obvious bad decisions or losing in fights.
The game is not mind control themed, but it is related. I get lots of help from other developers at Hypnopics Collective, so I do have to make it mind control related. Or else they won't let me post my game on their website where lots RAGS players visit. =]
From what you describe the main character to me, what you said about her personality traits makes a lot of sense. And even it it didn't, this is your baby and you should shape the main character the way you want it anyway. :)
DeleteGood to hear there might be some possible NC sexual antics taking place. Perhaps as a possible idea here, that I could center her character personality as one of being very brash and impulsive. Maybe to the point of being a bit arrogant and overconfident. So she could blunder into a situation or two that could get her into trouble. Just a thought.
Ah well, since the RAGS group is assisting you, I guess it's kinda important if you throw them a bone or two. ;) And I don't object to mind control at all. Have a few fantasies (both passive and with me being the perpetrator) along those lines. Just that about every RAGS game I see is pretty much all MC.
And as an aside, I would've never known English isn't your 1st language. You express yourself better than a lot of native English speakers I know. Probably better than me too. :)
Well, once the full demo is out, I could hear some feed back and change stuff around. I am sure there are way more dialog options that I could think of.
DeleteThere are quite a lot of NC stuff in the game actually. Although in some scenes your silence is kind of a consent (being a girl I really shouldn't say that....don't do that in real life!). Your idea would work in the second half of the game, but as for the demo, nothing too crazy could have happen during city exploration. Well...unless it leads directly to bad ending.
The kind of mind control in my game is slightly different. The "metal corruption" stat you see in the screenshot only concern the main quest. That said, there are a lot of ways to change one's personalities........
My problem is that I cannot write descriptive text. My English training is completely focus on analytical writing and I never wrote any sex scene in my life. @__@"
I just discover your blog and i belive your proyect is amazing so thanks for make this game
ReplyDeleteezpi
Thanks for your encouragement. =]
DeleteReally interested to see how this develops. Especially since this is inspired by Tales, I know that this can draw from a lot of good source material. Good luck working on it and I hope to see more in the coming weeks!
ReplyDeleteI try to squeeze out a close alpha test before the end of next week, since real life stuff will probably slow done my progress around mid Feb. Future update will have less screenshots or edited images though, don't want to show too much and spoiled any surprises! =]
