There are no new scenes yet (except the bathroom scene from Truesatan), and the idea is really to allow the player to understand and follow the storyline till the end and not just to one or two bad endings after which most players give up due to all the annoying and time consuming repetitions. I doubt that many players really made it to the office story and even less that figured out the thing with the guards.
Me included. I remember the times I ended up bashing my head (almost literally). In Mature Quest, you can at least grind grind grind grind..... In this game, you need to learn how to 'walk over minesfield', like Haydee games. But strangely enough, I still liked the original Alona (except the 'YOU'RE DEAD' situations, and the 'so sad' Dungeon music during scenes). But what really fails is the
replay value. Once you learn how to get good endings, you become so sad when she gets promoted and 'game over'. You close the curtains and the game 'disappear' in your 'drawer'. You dont have a 'New game+' or 'Continue playing', and you dont know if you will play it again (perhaps you will try to get the missing scenes in the recollection room, but with the original (unmodded) game, that means replaying the entire game or using a really old save).
In games like Fuuju Hime (Futaring), when you get a new game+, you retain your stats (in the case of Alona, she can start the game already aroused, or already with her 'exhibit' status high, so people could just 'use her', kiss her anytime anywhere, etc. But the main tasks are there. You can find drug evidences, then get to the lab, and so on, in order to get promoted 'again'. The difference is that perhaps a few scenes are different (a new 'tab' in the event screen, just a copy paste of the former, with a new dialogue or a more daring CG, that will happen in this new gameplay). And voila, we have a entirely new game, but with an already 'exhibit' Alona. You can still return to 'new game' (normal game) if you want to interrupt 'new game+'.
Yes, I wrote that down already several times. I'd like to do something similar, but I wouldn't know how at the moment.
IIRC, when checking other RPG games, the DEV uses to put a 'grey heart' icon (or perhaps a grey non-blinking star in our case) instead of the blinking star (by creating a new tab with a new switch check). So if you already has two tabs (no blinking star and blinking star) you might get a third one. So in certain scenes that already happened, like the basketball scenes and nurse scenes (I loved the nurse scene, mostly the first one when she isn't wearing panties), you could see a 'grey heart' (or another icon) below the nurse NPC if you already played all scenes. Then you could choose which scene you want (check for illness or 'try to find even more evidence'). You know that there is no new scene anymore, BUT you can fantasize of revisiting there once in a while.
I find other situations she can end up in the nurse and you want to repeat the scenes. For example, when Alona is teaching with certain exhibit trends, or even naked, she could use that excuse to end class earlier, rushing to the nursery room embarrassed. Then you can repeat the scenes (grey heart) or get a new one (blinking star) , but you can't leave the nursery because the ring didnt bell. Ideas like that might give immersion to the ENF drama.
I'm thinking about adding a further option to leave him completely unharmed...
I completely agree. With that, the boss could still run the school and Alona can 'get' missed scenes, perhaps. Or, if all scenes was seen, you can click on him and 'revive' a given scene, like it's a new one (we players like to imagine that, on day 33, Alona just want to wear the black lingerie again, just to be punished by those watery buckets.
Yes, I have plans in my head to add day counters unfortunately it get's a bit tricky if visiting the school becomes optional. TSMod 1.03 already allows to use the bed in the morning to sleep until night to skip school and if I add a city map with more event locations the school will become more and more optional. So one idea was to create a day counter and an extra school day counter which would only count a school day if Alona would teach at school. And then this idea moved on to make counters for every action like a counter for how often Alona was disobedient to the principal. how often she got spanked, how often she gave head, how often she showed her boobs, how often she displayed herself completely naked and so on...
There are games like Meritocracy of One that you have counters for everything, which is a nice idea, but perhaps something to be done in a lower priority.
That's because, by prioritizing ideas like week days showing in the screen (monday, tuesday, so on), instead of 'day 1, day 20, day 50', it will give more freedom for the player to focus on 'what' he/she will find in that day in the school (like the basketball teams), so in other days, those fields might be empty instead. By skipping school, we can revisit the bastketball team earlier.
But you can still have a day counter, perhaps in the status screen instead of the main screen. Or in the game screen (not recommended). Or none at all.
And yeah, I could for sure make all this in the next 300 years ;-)... I mean with what little time I've left for working on this mod every week. ;-)...
If you wish, I can give you some ideas of scenes (the 'event' way, that is, 'talk this,' if/else', 'show that image'.....)
An idea I've had before was making Alona find those roof boys again (not only in the beginning of the day), but this time, they could do more on her (push skirt down, remove clothes, takes a pic....)
I will play it now and I'll give some impressions about the music.
Thank you!
I would surely take notes of possible features to make this game even more enjoyable (aside of the 'new scenes new scenes new scenes' chorus).
