Now, what is there to say about Chloe:
She is so focused on her grades it almost hurts!
She won't let anything stand in the way of her academic success and will stop at nothing to get it!
Making her the smartest girl on the whole campus.

She almost has no other hobbies save her books; she has never even heard of the word "fun."
If only Chloe understood what she was missing out on! Poor poor Chloe, living such a boring life.
I hope we can change her from a boring nerd to a party slut who doesn't give a damn about grades or her old disgusting nerd hobbies.

She is PurrrRRRRRRRRrrrrrrfect just the-cat got your tongue and is strangling you with it-kind a way.

Real relationship and most success comes from 1 on 1 get to know you better.
You give away the advantage, push he into/be some bimbo,
good luck getting to her among all the other party sluts around.

One why should I care for real relationships on a fucking porn site? and two I want to see her getting wasted and then passed around at parties.

Shattered Minds Character Preview: Sofia

char_promo_shots_old_w_face.jpg


Say hello to your landlady, Sofia! (Name can be set by you)

Not only does Sofia still have a youthful appearance for her age (she turns 40 soon), her personality hasn't changed much since her teen days either!

This is for sure a contributing factor in how frequently and easily people mistake her for the MC's girlfriend or sister! She is kind and caring. You can always have a good time with her!
Lately she can hardly be found at home, she works way too much! She barely has time to properly care for her loved ones!

Time to change this fact!

1) It doesn't have to be, it always depends on how you use mind control or to what extent it is possible at all.
2) will take a look into this and experiment with POV and third person view, thanks for feedback!
3) for every sex scene in the game you can choose between at least 2 camera angles, one of which will always be POV and one of which will always be 3rd person.
Instead of making minimum 2 POV for every position, how about picking and choosing to get the most erotic POV for each position? That way, you don't waste time rendering 2 POV for the same animation.

Just off the top of my head...
  • Kissing scenes indeed look very bad in 1st person.​
  • Blowjob looks badass in 1st person, especially when you are looking down at them as they are kneeling in front.​
  • Missionary is a toss up. 1st person can look pretty intimate, but you can't see the genitals if your eyes are pointed at their face. 3rd person is probably better.​
  • Doggy style looks awesome in 1st person. Maybe cus I'm an ass man, but the angle and the prominence of the ass is just chef kiss.​
  • Cowgirl and reverse cowgirl benefits from 1st person as well imo.​
  • Things like sitting on couch and the girl is leaning sideways giving a BJ... that would be 3rd person material.​
You get my drift? Certain positions just look great in 1st person while others are terrible. Giving more options to the player is great until you consider the wasted time for something that is arguably redundant.

While we're on the topic of sex scenes, I personally think sex dialogues are the absolute most important thing in a corruption/domination oriented scene. I'm gonna go back and finish up Fates before playing this game, but from what I remember of the first 2-3 updates of it, the scenes didn't have much dialogue (unless I'm mistaken). Fates was vanilla and more romance focused, so that's absolutely fine. We don't really talk much during sex irl, right? But for corruption, domination, or master/slave scenes like the tags suggest, that power play is mostly in the dialogues.

Just my 2 cents.

Thank you for your feedback and input, very appreciated!
Sure, render times are a big problem and time consuming, but what takes even more time is posing and creating a decent animation.
In my opinion, it's pretty cool that you can look at a scene from different perspectives and let the player choose which of them he wants to enjoy.
I'm sure some people like POV better, others like the 3rd person view. In Shattered Minds you can choose and freely switch back and forth.
So there should be something for everyone!

Fates was indeed much more vanilla and I had a hard time coming up with good sex dialogues that didn't sound like a cliché porn movie. I have an easier time with Shattered Minds in this regard, as the dialogues go in a clear, dominant, submissive and commanding direction.

Shattered Minds Character Preview: Kobe & Bill

char_promo_kobe_bill.jpg

We are done with the character previews of the female figures, which is a good sign, because the release of Shatterd Minds V0.01 is just around the corner!
But of course, there are not only women in this game, but also a few supporting male characters.

To put any discussions and speculations to rest before they even begin:
NTR will not be a part of this game!
None of the male characters will start a relationship (or anything simular) with a female character, except for the MC.

After that has been clarified, let's go on to the figures themselves!

Bill is the MC's closest friend. He shares the same interests as the MC and thus they spend a lot of time together. At least until now. Additionally, Bill is the only one who is aware of MC's ability. Which could lead to tension and problems between the two in the future.

Kobe is the quarterback of the college football team. He isn't the sharpest person and has little to show for it outside his strength and football skills.
The MC typically stays away from him.

Tbh, that quarterback should have a GF you can steal. Assuming that dude is the typical hardass bully, stealing his girl to display dominance would fit right into a mind control abusing game. I think most people who want to play a shady(?) mind controller would be fine with some netori (stealing other people's women). For even more fucked up stuff, the best friend can have a GF too, and if you steal her... now that would be fun.

But I understand if you don't want to deal with any of that shit in the off chance some harem dude complains about even netori

If the vast majority of the community wants it to happen, sure we could do that and introduce a girlfriend for Kobe later in the game, which the MC could steel.
But I think we all know what the general mood regarding NTR (in whatever form) in this board is.
For some, the mere existence of other male characters besides the MC is NTR. :HideThePain:

Regarding his friend, my plan here is to "steal" his mom from him. :sneaky:

Not even sharing?
Nope, all the girls belong to the MC.
