Dev Log — July 2023

Hi everyone!

In this month's dev log I'd like to show you some sketches we've been working on for the PvE overhaul.

PvE Encounters

While you explore the campus you will run into different challenges and encounters, and with time each of them will have an illustration associated with it to help set the scene. Multiple chance encounters are planned for each character, in this case, a maid, mermaid, and a gorgon/medusa, which you will be able to encounter in different situations that may lead to many different outcomes depending on how well you complete the challenge.

Dynamic Avatar

In addition, we have begun the actual implementation of the dynamic avatar. There's still a lot of work to be done before it can be put into the game, but we have finished the overall design, begun sketching, and I have started to translate the old system into a new system that will be required for the dynamic avatar to work.

The general idea is that we will move away from abstract qualities as they are in the game now, and instead use a combination of physical traits that affect the avatar's appearance, and effects more similar to buff and debuffs in other MMOs for effects that don't affect the avatar's appearance. The tricky part is that during the development of the dynamic avatar, the game will need to support both systems and be able to translate back and forth. This is both to ensure that characters will have their traits in the previous system carry over, and to make sure the new system and fallback to the old one while the dynamic avatar is still in beta.

Item Reveals

There are also some more items in the works; some of which will make it into the game with the PvE overhaul.

Vessels

After updating the bottles currently in the game, we moved on to make some more future vessels that will be used for storing liquids of all kinds, and some of them will even have special interactions.

One of these is the perfume bottle, which will allow players to spray themselves or someone else with a potentially transformative solution. The syringe will instead allow players to inject themselves or a defeated player with a potentially more potent solution.

Let's use the doll transformation with multiple stages as an example. In this case, the perfume bottle would require you to spray your opponent multiple times for the solution to take effect, while one injection of the syringe will be enough to have your opponent spiral into becoming a sex doll.

Lastly, we have the liquid lipstick, which will allow players to coat their or someone else's lips with a potentially transformative solution. This could have a direct effect on the person the solution is applied to, but it could also allow for the effect to spread to others who are kissed by that person. Say, a solution could cause someone's lips to grow big and give them an obsession with sucking phallic objects. You could then apply it directly to someone, or you might and might not be able to make yourself immune to its effect before applying it to yourself and then go around kissing people you encounter.

Cosmetics

Talking about lipsticks, there are also plans for another lipstick that is more directly associated with makeup

Similar to other items, you will be able to color the lipstick, which will then decide the color it applies to your character when used. I also like the idea of being able to draw on other people and write messages, though these would need to be premade to prevent people from writing hate speech or similar.

There are also plans to have a lipstick that is, in fact, a concealed vibrator. While the cap is on, it will be impossible to distinguish the vibrator from any other lipstick. In relation to the PvP encounters from earlier, there are plans a bimbo who will also carry around one of these in their purse that they might use on the player if they perform poorly in the challenge.

That's all for this month's dev log! Thank you all for your support and I hope you're looking forward to the upcoming PvE overhaul and the prospects of these new characters and items! ❤️

Cheers,

Tinon
