Hey everyone, still working on the Lois Griffin update!
In the meantime, check out the latest design for the new Relationship Menu (LARGER IMAGE ATTACHED):

So, what's going on here?
Going forward, sex with the characters will be available as you increase your relationship with them. Starting with simple handjobs to more interesting positions like the "Anal Nelson".
Positions will be "free-use" for you. For example, you walk up to Marge Simpson and command her to "Bend Over" (as a dialogue menu-item choice). She will bend over wherever she is - in her home, in her front lawn, at the grocery store, wherever.
These positions will have to be unlocked. A "Blowjob" will become available between you and that character as long as your relationship with them is at or above Level 3, for instance. More vulgar positions will be available at higher levels.
The positions will not become immediately unlocked, however. You will need to obtain the right "Jewels" to unlock them.
Jewels can be bought from merchants, found scattered around the world, or given to you as Mission rewards.
The animations will not necessarily be reused, even though their names will be identical. For example, Lois Griffin's "Ass fuck" will look different than Francine Smith's "Ass fuck".
Special Pre-rendered images will also become available throughout the Missions.
However, full Pre-rendered scenes/animations will be left for the final maximum Level. In other words, only when you reach Level 10 with that specific character, will you get a fully rendered sex scene. I am working on making these hotter - with voice actors, sound fx, more jiggly visual effects, better animations, etc.
Not pictured above are the "Unlocked Outfits" for each character. Yes, you'll have the option of unlocking Outfits.
If you haven't noticed - what takes a HUGE amount of time are the prerendered scenes. I am trying to push this effort back, so that I can build out the game world and emergent gameplay mechanics faster.
My goal is to populate this world as quickly as possible.
EXAMPLE GAMEPLAY LOOP:
So, you want to be able to walk up to Marge Simpson as she's grocery shopping and tell her to "Bend Over" because you're going to fuck her in the ass, right here, right now.
Okay, you need to unlock the perk that allows you to do that.
That perk is only available when you reach Level 8 with her, which means you need to do jobs for her, compliment her, and buy her gifts.
Okay, you've now done all of the above enough to level up your relationship with her to Level 8. The perk is still locked.
Each perk requires a combination of 3 jewels. In this case, you will need 2 Rubies and 1 Emerald.
You know that one of the venders sells a Ruby, because you saw it in the store for $500. You only have $60 in your account, so you'll need to grind by delivering quite a few pizzas..
Okay, you bought the Ruby. Now what?
The Emerald can be obtained by searching for it in the sewers. The other Ruby is a reward from a Mission that belongs to Judy Jetson. But to get that Mission, you need to level up your relationship with her...
Okay, now you've got all 3 required Jewels in your inventory. You open up your Relationship Menu, pick Marge Simpson, select the Perk, which is now unlockable..
And you press the "Commit Jewels" button to unlock. Sound/animations of unlocking happens.
NOW you can walk up to Marge Simpson and when you talk to her, you have a new "command" you can give her.. "Bend over. Now."
Immediately, she responds - regardless of her being in the Grocery Store or in her house - and you will have access to a real-time camera with both a POV and 3rd person camera control while you're railing her.
Animations and sounds will still be unique to each character.
Thoughts?
