Quite a few of the girls who only have stripping encounters in the early levels have sexual content encounters in the later levels, so make sure to save them after defeating them so that they show up again later on as you progress in the game.
Part of my reasoning is that it is already tracking a lot of things and it would dilute the impact of what it is already tracking. (Arguably I already diluted it too much with what I have). Another reason I backed away from this was that it was already kind of "been there done that" for Trials of the Succubi. There has been a resurgence of feet requesters so that type of content is going higher on my priority list even if it likely won't win the current zone poll.
Yeah, I'm reluctant to do this partially for the spoiler aspect but also because I'm already very picky on what information is given to a player. If I throw too much at them from behind the curtain it can feel too mechanical and overwhelm players. The good news is I'm here to answer those questions on what exists!
I currently don't have any plans to sprinkle in trans but this could change. My reason for this is that Hero Corruption has plenty of them for that crowd and it is not something I am asked much at all. I also think that they would be hard to work with without making that aspect the main thing they talk about which would feel almost offensive/reductive to me. Not to say I can't pull off the dialog well but it would just be more difficult and I would be fearful much of the time.
Thanks so much for such a speedy and in depth reply! I'm disappointed, as hero corruption has stopped development for hero corruption 2, which honestly isn't as fun, but I understand your reasoning and still am enjoying keystroke a lot. Also, I had a misunderstanding about the estim device. For some reason, I was thinking e was for electronic, like hooking up a Bluetooth enabled vibe or stroker, but no, it's like actual electric play. My bad hahaha
So after playing for awhile and seeing the diagnostic hack, I sort of came to a conclusion. You may not agree, but I feel with all of the different attributes overlapping each other, it sort of becomes almost pointless to try and look at all the different nuances in appearance when the game selects the next encounter. There are so many variables that it's too easy to have overlap of one attribute that is liked by the player such as hair color with something that isn't such as body type. I feel like a better way to go about sorting would be to be more limiting on the sorting of the physical attributes of the encounter and instead add more tags for fetishes/mechanics instead.
Definitely agree on this. Encounter type has a bigger impact on my interest than the features of the girl (although they are still a factor)
This is really an addition feature on top but I like this as well =)
Yeah, I can entirely see why most people think that right now and I used something very similar for TOTS. However, the original plan in Keystroke was to have a MUCH wider set of girls which I think I am only half way there. Also, with actions like BJ or hypno that might be to an end of a scene or something and not be nearly as apparent from the getgo when you run from something.
The cool thing about your suggestion is that this is already planned for the final boss (without needed a separate tracking system)! Hopefully I can pull it off.
The funny answer is I'm not entirely sure. The hack drop code was made by someone else and then modified by someone else after that where I am just trying to work within it's confines. That being said - I'm pretty sure what is happening is that as you fill up your hack database it becomes more and more difficult to find new drops. This is partially on purpose to force discussion and sharing at some level. However, I'm still trying to figure out how best way for this to happen or if it is something I need to stop pushing for.Got a quick question. I have defeated quite a few bosses now that don't give hacks afterwards. Do I need to enter the "no more common hacks"-hack or is there another system in place? E.g. bosses just can give to two specific hacks and if they are found, you're done with that boss?
Sorry if that was explained somewhere.
Currently it is underused but has the biggest impact in the Spooky Town heart loss scene. It will be built upon in the future but I don't know how far I'll be able to take it. I'm glad you still like it so much!
1. I believe that ending happens from losing to the possession boss of the Spooky Town stage.
The softlock was supposed to be fixed in the latest patch.(There have been about 6 patch versions attached and the latest should be the one with that fix)
It is very possible that there is a bug preventing completion on this end. I honestly don't know how to look for it. I do know that there is some tamper proofing of it that makes it even more complicated. It also makes it harder to find because I am usually adding more to it as well.
The shortening timer still is on the watchlist for me to see if I can get it preforming any better. It is somewhat necessary to keep ramping the tension up and to adjust to the skill level of all keyboard and phone numbers. I'll also consider if people want something in-between normal and casual modes.
