Rae is amazing. If you told me i'd fall in love with a succubus of all things.



.... Also, I have to.

New poll is up for Neighbours+! Smaller scenes - how do?

View attachment 416927
Want to add some small not-really-events to spice up the routine, not sure which way is the best, so, poll time!
  • I like the sound of the girls taking some initiative, but it's a very good point about it being potentially frustrating. The exact implementation could make a huge difference there. I think the key is that the trigger point has to be something that players are actually doing. And of course some form of cumulative rather than simple randomness would avoid the situation where a player wants to see it but it's just - not - happening.
  • Giving commands, I'm not sure about. The example given of her flashing her tits doesn't sound as appealing as actually doing something with her, although the contest idea sounds a bit more interesting, anything involving more than one girl gets a big boost (although how well that would work as a micro I don't know).
  • More things for the player to do to the girls is probably the most promising, although there are obviously limits to just how much you can fit in the constraint of two or three lines.
As to the specifics of individual scenes, I have a few ideas;
  • I see no reason these would have to be lewds, intimates should work too, to wit coming up behind Rae while she's cooking and giving her a kiss.
  • Aside from Rae in the kitchen, there aren't all that many opportunities to sneak up on the girls, but Cait in the library would probably work. Grab her arse or her tits.
  • That 'distracting Rae while she's cooking' one pictured also looks nice, although it mainly makes me want to see just how distracted we can get her, teasing and playing with her nipples until she cums (absolutely love doing that to Cait), but that would be outside the scope of the question being a short-to-full scene rather than a micro. (If you do do something like that though, bonus points for him remembering not to burn the breakfast while she's entirely out of it.)
  • At breakfast, Rae could reach out and tease our hero with a foot, or decide that she would like some other breakfast and disappear down below the table to get some. That might also be stretching the limits of 'micro', though.

In Mythic Manor, whenever you do something in your bedroom that advances time, or when you wake up in the morning girls with enough "levels" can knock on your door and ask ot spend time with them (at the beach or watching TV, even just asking to fuck (Naira you go girl))

And you can just say you're busy if you don't want a scene. I don't know if something like that would work here but that's one way, I think. It could be girls suggesting something when you click on them to talk. Or like you said, Rae just getting saucy ideas during breakfast and you could just go with it or not. I don't know why things have to be "mini" but I assume it has something to do with workload.

It definitely doesn't have to be lewd as far as I'm concerned. Something simple could be Naomi patting you on the back, litterally. Sounds almost dumb I dunno how many people would care about that but I would. Cait showing you a book she finds interesting. Or more involved, Rae could simply tell you you can take the evening off training when you talk to her in the room and ask if you wanna watch a movie with her instead.

More than happy with girls showing that they are people and they want things.

Have the girls do stuff together (not necessarily sexual). Like watching TV when you go downstairs in the morning, movie night, cooking together, playing card games at the table etc.

Naomi exercises just outside of Rae's room, so maybe Rae is curious about it so she tries to lift too.
Rae wants to learn to cook, maybe Caitlin gets her a cookbook and they try to make something.

etc.

That certainly sounds good too. I haven't played that one for a while, last I remember there were some story scenes triggered like that but no randoms.
And you can just say you're busy if you don't want a scene. I don't know if something like that would work here but that's one way, I think.

Well I'm sure we're going to get more shorts and full scenes too, just that this question is about micro-size interactions (like slapping Rae's ass at the fridge, just one or two lines), and some of the things I was suggesting wouldn't really fit in one of those.

This two-three line thing is important, it's not supposed to be a replacement for smaller scenes (and I plan to make more of those), just a little random distraction.

As to the specifics of individual scenes, I have a few ideas;
  • I see no reason these would have to be lewds, intimates should work too, to wit coming up behind Rae while she's cooking and giving her a kiss.
  • Aside from Rae in the kitchen, there aren't all that many opportunities to sneak up on the girls, but Cait in the library would probably work. Grab her arse or her tits.
Those are good fit for the format.

  • That 'distracting Rae while she's cooking' one pictured also looks nice, although it mainly makes me want to see just how distracted we can get her, teasing and playing with her nipples until she cums (absolutely love doing that to Cait), but that would be outside the scope of the question being a short-to-full scene rather than a micro.

Those are good too, but not for micros, I don't think, but smaller scenes? Yup, great.

I don't know why things have to be "mini" but I assume it has something to do with workload.
That is correct. I'll go in more detail in the next State of the Game post, but in essence, I'm looking for ways to add more fun things to the game without sacrificing larger exposition scenes.

It definitely doesn't have to be lewd as far as I'm concerned. Something simple could be Naomi patting you on the back, litterally. Sounds almost dumb I dunno how many people would care about that but I would. Cait showing you a book she finds interesting. Or more involved, Rae could simply tell you you can take the evening off training when you talk to her in the room and ask if you wanna watch a movie with her instead.

Great point, and yeah, I'll try to add events like those too. There actually were some small with Naomi in 2.3 (her and Rae talking about the TV, her looking at Rae's part of the attic, and the other one that kinda got turned into a whole scene), and I still can't get around to bringing them back.

Have the girls do stuff together (not necessarily sexual). Like watching TV when you go downstairs in the morning, movie night, cooking together, playing card games at the table etc.

Naomi exercises just outside of Rae's room, so maybe Rae is curious about it so she tries to lift too.

etc.
Thought about this too, will need to adjust some systems to make it work right, but yeah, certainly want to do scenes like those. Aaaaand imma steal yer ideas btw.

Just came by to say that this is my favorite WEG out there today, even in its current relatively early stage, just because of the writing. It's rare that stuff on F95Zone is written in proper English, let alone with dialogue that could be called witty. Each girl has her own personality and actually feels like a human instead of a mindless fuck doll. In particular Rae is just stunning. I can't believe I started feeling actual emotions from a porn game, but I really fell head over heels for her with my favorite scene, the movie night. I am totally on TomberryDude's side, maybe sex sells (it's why I downloaded it initially after all) but I stayed for the romance and charm.

And done another CG set, there's a free teaser pic available at (different from the attached one), and the full set is at
rae_in_space_f95_teaser.png
(And if this is getting a bit too spammy, tell me, I'll stop)

Is there a way to get off the Naomi femdom route? I mistakenly got on it and really don't like femdom. I likely made the wrong choice somewhere though I don't know exactly where. Is that the only route with her? If so I will avoid interacting with her or replay the game to the choice that triggers this route.

I think that is the only route with her, she has that wrestling content on the couch and the face sitting exercise content.
I just avoided her so I'm not sure if she has any other path or if another is even planned but I think that's (femdom) all she has atm.

So that is the only route with her then? I will avoid her in that case. Thank you for letting me know. I'll replay the story since I don't like femdom at all.

Naomi has two route, base route, and femdom route, check the love app for hints. Base route is lighter on content ATM, but it does have one lewd scene in 0.3.2 and another is coming in 0.3.3.

You can skip all femdom events in 0.3.2 without abandoning the route, but I have been thinking of ways to let players just ignore it completely.

So she does have two routes. Thank you ZenithOne, that way I won't have to replay it.

This may seem kind of a strange question, but is the house intelligent? Or are the apparent signs of intelligence simply a result of the place being shaped by our hero's subconscious? I don't remember ever seeing a genius loci appearing in a game, it would be interesting if true.

Tuesday's poll is up! It's not really a poll, more of an invitation to leave your mark on the game. Check out the whole thing her -
In short, the game needs more small talk, and you can help! Submit your suggestions, see them in the game, get credited for this (or not, if you don't want to). At the very least, check out the free CG pic.

Made me google the term. And the answer is... I don't know! It could be. And how do you define intelligence and/or consciousness? Is strong AI conscious? Could something shaped by subconsciousness even be conscious? What if it operates independently of the "host"? At what point the agency of the actor could be considered its own, not of its creator? I think we will explore those topics in the future.

A few random ideas in addition to the ones I posted before.

Naomi is in the bathroom. Thinks about what good shape she is in.
Rae wonders if she is gaining weight from too much ice cream. (can look in a mirror?)
Caitlin and Rae talk about magic. (who is better at it, etc.). Can be some banter.
Caitlin in the library and thinks about how many books there are and how some of them are quite weird/interesting (because they are about earth things, she doesn't know about that stuff)

These dont count for what you are currently looking for, but Rae/Caitlin (and whoever else) and Naomi play tug-of-war so Naomi can prove she is the strongest one there. Caitlin finds Naomi a weight-lifting magazine. Caitlin and Rae find a magic game (like a magic themed board game or something) to play. While Naomi is sitting at the door with her feet dangling, she thinks about how much deeper the void is than the ocean.
