"Or is the 'not evil or despair' just referring to our extreme lust?"
I leave it open-ended, as the player might not have slept with a demon up to this point, so I guess it's pure lust. However if it didn't lead to worse gameplay I'd make it explicitly demonic corruption. That's my personal cannon.
"Reminds me how I'd really love to see a game like this about corrupting a school but instead of being a hypnotist, we play as a succubus."
That'd be really cool! I have been hitting some walls with hypnosis content, but I worry that going demonic would have two issues:
I'd mostly just do the same mental change strategy, especially since sometimes I kinda fudge the line between hypnosis and magic.
Not sure how I'd ensure the player has easy access to demonic power, especially since the player has to jump through a bunch of hoops to get it from Gou.
And while I could just make a new game, I don't really have the free time for that at the moment. University alone is already tough to carve out time for.
"I wonder if she really did forget the sign again or if he's gaslighting her now?"
That was actually the case! I just cut the line as I try to remove extraneous bits of text that aren't lewd or directly lead towards lewd. Not everyone has quite the gumption you do for being able to go over every line, sadly.
"I like how Himari is happy to see us, but not her other customers."
Yeah. Normal customers are "Bleh bleh bleh why aren't you tending to the rooms where are the baths why aren't the towels clean yet", whereas your visits are a lot more fun.
"And the way he sounds when he realises it wasn't a cleansing, it's almost like he wanted that rather than using it as an excuse to pump corruption into the pair of them."
To be fair that's probably post-cleansing clarity
"When they ask us to bring them more customers, it really makes me think of bringing girls to them to steep them in the corrupted waters of their baths. That would be amazing, I really love it when our girls help us with acquiring new ones."
That's the plan! A use for bathhouse images and a neat temporary personality change for a bunch of cast-members. Kinda like the crossdressing club, but for ladies.
"Is it just wanting to keep us as a customer, does she actually like us, or is she getting addicted to the way we pin her doan and fuck her brains out, and can't imagine going back to when we weren't doing that to her?"
Maybe all of the above?
"Seeing more of her using what we taught her on other girls would be great as well."
Agreed, it's just hard to directly work into the game given the images used. Oreteki doesn't do lesbian work, unfortunately.
"Is that really an unusual thing? Every school and university I've ever been to has had a gym and a field..."
I don't actually know, I was homeschooled. I was impressed when I first went to a college that had both.
"Given how we literally fuck girls until they pass out from exhaustion, I'm surprised that we don't have plenty of stamina, even if we aren't all that fast."
Different muscle group, that's how I rationalize it.
"I like that our guy is good enough to be confident trying to hypnotise him right out in the open, skulking around and being very careful in secret is OK for some of the more challenging ones, but a true master hentai hypnotist should be able to trance people like it was nothing."
Agreed. Now that I'm not making PTSA members who are meant to be difficult, I'm liking going back to more straightforwards approaches.
"I often wonder if there's anything our pet demons could do to help us in terms of physique. We're not going to be superman or anything, but a little dark blessing giving us a bit greater than normal strength wouldn't go amiss. "
Robin's run scenes actually give a skill called "sweet gains", and I plan to increase it when going on a run with Tia too. The skill would increase the amount you're paid for porn when I eventually get around to Andrea paying you. I should have the demon cast give a way to increase it as well. I don't plan to have the player physically hold someone down though, mostly for the reasons you mention, but also because it's a little far on the violent/rapey side for my taste.
"And 'never be the same' is a bit vague, what exactly will happen if we use demon power on him as well as this?"
I couldn't be too direct in her dialogue as the player might not have gotten the succubus power from Gou yet, but this'll be directly covered when I do his corruption scenes.
"I seriously love drugged massage oil, it's an amazing concept."
It's actually based on the cream of the same name by a caption author named Elzikyuchi, who did a bunch of captions based on the concept. It's great!
"I can't remember if we've seen this kind of 'meanwhile, somewhere else' presentation of a scene before, I quite like it. There are two basic schools of thought that I know of, one would say this is fine, another would say that since our character isn't present a scene like this should be presented as a flashback as he tells us about it. I think it works OK myself though."
Agreed, it opens up a lot of avenues and leads to more scene variety. I'm sure that some people might dislike it, but it adds enough to justify that imo.
"You know the drill, I don't like endings that involve us abandoning the rest of our harem, so this is a pretty decent one. No mentions of us having other pets as well, but nothing in it to say that we don't still have them either."
Yeah it solves a lot of problems to treat endings as "And then you do X for a long time, here's a snippet of the results." instead of "And then you dropped everything else to stay with X forever, here's a snippet of that".
"After finishing her I got 'Error! You must've called the wrong event. Error code: Failed to write phone event(reward) in starlet.js' plus the same for kuro, maid and meji appearing above her 'that's all for now' text.
Also got that for kuro, maid and meji above Robin's 'finished' text."
I don't understand what's going on with stuff like this, it seems like loading the wrong .js is happening more frequently. I'm worried the game will need another engine overhaul.
"After finishing Robin, his repeatable scenes are bugged; choosing to apply the oil to his 'back' gives a blank screen, and choosing to use it on his front has two 'Finish' buttons. After the blowjob, the 'front' scene is using an older one, not the repeatable version, and choosing 'rear' shows the front scene.
Talking to Gou about Robin doesn't seem to be setting the flag for us having the oil.
Fucking her doesn't seem to be increasing corruption."
I can fix these up though. Thank you, and for the typos as well. Your posts are a joy to read!
