Once I add espionage mechanics into the game, it will be possible to make arrests outside of the court meeting and patroling the streets. The only people that you definitely won't be able to imprison are unique NPCs like Blanche, Eugene, Lizette, etc., for gameplay reasons.
This said, the obsession bar will play a bigger role eventually for non-imprisoned NPCs as well. You will be able to start a sex slave relationship with people if they're obsessed with you enough.
In terms of armies, in the future, when I add the airships and the ability to travel outside the city, I want to refine the battle mechanics and make it so that you can compose your own warband to go on quests and adventures. It should also allow you to add prisoners into the warband.
Finally, as for altering personalities, you will be able to influence some characters to change their personalities. For the planned ones: people with the Prude trait will be possible to made more slutty, Shy character more confident, Bratty characters more obedient, and Lewd characters less slutty. Some of the unique NPCs will also have transformation mechanics in place.
So, quick questions.
1. Does that mean that you plan to add some kind of 'conquest' element to the game loop? Like, is Evalia gonna expand its territories and go all 'For the Empire!'?
2. With battle mechanics and 'warbands' in mind, are you planning on adding something like simplified dungeon runs? Maybe even some bounty/game hunting?
3. Okay, while I'm not exactly a fan of plot inconsistencies... I do have a question/suggestion for some of the above concerns about gender change/virginity kink options. Do you think adding a 'potion' system to alter those states would be feasible?
Like I said in an earlier post, I think naturally being a virgin in a sex happy country like this is unrealistic for the setting. That said, I think adding the option for ppl who want it isn't impossible to pull off if you add in a way that 'can' make it possible. Since there's witches and magic in the setting... well, gender bending and hymen restoring potions/spells should also be possible. And really, I can see the Evalians doing it too... Now, I have mixed feelings about gender bending potion options for the important NPCs unless there's a plot reason that allows it, but the virgin restoring one is fine I think since it wouldn't require you to make alternate assets for them and is a good compromise for the ppl who want 'something' along those lines.
That said, as I 'am' aiming for a harem, the option would be pretty nice. Maybe worth considering once you add in more body types into the mix so that the option can work and not feel shoehorned in just tp please ppl... Something to consider anyway.
4. On the topic of 'slave relationships' and altering personality traits. I think potions and a 'training' mechanic would be good modifiers for affection, lust, and obedience and add some nice interaction/roleplaying options and might be a good motivator for farming money and resources.
5. With armies and possible empire building(?), aside from prisoners... could we incorporate breeding into it? Nothing like magically assisted, homegrown soldiers loyal to the king amirite? Well, it's more bc I have that particular fetish is all, incest and everything included! DON'T JUDGE ME!!!! ...or, go ahead, I don't really care either way... I won't apologize for my utterly shameless degeneracy! I mean, I have my kingdom filled with nothing but women... and futa bc, y'know, babies.... even if futa aren't really my thing exactly. Pure roleplaying reasons there, and why the hell not?
Oh, and the oversized sweater sleeve still looks a tad off when applied to Lizette. Not misaligned, just off.
Anyway, those are my thoughts/questions/suggestions.
I can't wait to both build up my kingdom and turning the whole country into my own harem dammit!!!!
Also, and as always, thanks for all the hard work and communicating with the community!
