Emily being unhypnotizable was just a gameplay thing, the game was originally meant to have more vanilla characters who wouldn't be hypnotized, but I dropped that idea as it wasn't as much fun to write. To be fair she was the very first character I wrote. Several people requested she have some hypno stuff tho. I should probably see about rewriting that absolute statement to give a little wiggle room. What kind of 'more' did you have in mind?
Yep, the beach scene is new! and she does look great in the bikini. I think overall I prefer oreteki's lewd art, Enoshima might be the best in terms of character designs.
Posing as a male prostitute huh? That might not be too bad an idea. A brothel madame who you impress with a practical test, a rich woman who hires you to toy with only to realize she bit off more than she can chew, a shy girl looking for experience who makes for easy prey, maybe lily drops in for a quick scene saying business is slow at her shop.
I think I've fallen into a rut where the player's hypnosis is canonically strong enough that in order to block off a character they have to rudely stonewall him. I meant for Damien to come off as a dead-inside 'I don't want to deal with any additional responsibility, I just want to clock out and go home (to degrade myself on camera)' type of character, maybe even someone who's annoyed by his students (maybe just a little jealous of their bodies too).
Each ending is undone when you decide to keep playing. Creating a corrupt school environment would be tough (not impossible tho). My thought is it'd work kinda like Gou and Meph's endings where you have the chance to wander a new location for a bit and hang with post-corruption characters. Epilogues like that were planned for all the Victoria endings but given the scope of v16 a lot of it ended up getting postphoned.
Given damien's attitude towards the player, he doesn't seem like he'd be all that close to anyone else. Victoria would probably be on him a lot due to his attitude. If I didn't try to avoid mixing straight and gay content it'd be neat to have Cassandra take a stab at degrading him for his attitude.
The two routes do merge, ye. If you hypnotize him in person you'll get a few very short fail scenes where he backs out of you exploring his body, or almost gives you a handjob and chickens out. I think I'd like to do a little more with the branching routes. More reaction scenes to videos, some gradual warming up to serving you before hypnosis, stuff like that. Not too much before merging tho, since I'd like to avoid having two different corruption scenes. Like a complete fool though I used his two outfit scenes without thinking about Ash's club. Tragic... Maybe I should do something different than just have him in cosplay? Hrm.
He is pretty muscular. I was worried he might be a turn-off but reception has been pretty positive.
Yeah I gotta add money from streams you do with him in future scenes, as well as money from Lana's studio. Lily's shop is looking to be a good money sink so I should look to start adding more sources. Maybe a Justine potion that she sells for a fat stack of cash, public displays of hypnosis on the street, etc.
What'd you think of Damian's ad by the way? I like how it turned out.
I'll get those bugs and typos fixed for the next version, ty! Crypto's been wrapped up with a lot lately so Sienna's fixes are still in the works.
