Another showcase of the dynamic Issid engine assignments.

You can assign anyone to any duty (some have age/skill restrictions, however). Here, Laika brings in 3-5 Merchandise per day as a Scavvy. Perfect. I also made the odd choice of assigning 10-year-old Loden as my bookkeeper. However, my economy is actually suffering more now when the illiterate child controls my small empire (Servants > Other).

Although, if I continue having him assigned as a bookkeeper, it'll slowly raise his Int and Education skills. One day, he might actually not waste money. Considering his salary is only $2, that could be a good investment as he grows older.

Better return Armand to that position, though, as he's actually a trained economist and influences my merchant empire almost in the same way as Rebecca.

Progress report II (0.8.1)

Things are moving forward with 0.8.1 – there's now a powerful Domestic Servant engine in place that enables the MC to hire "free" men and women that can help his household as either scavengers, accountants, guards, janitors, slave trainers or prostitutes. This system will eventually merge with the mercenary framework once the combat upgrade goes live, making the player able to customize his crew in many different ways through specialized training, changing armor and handing out better weapons – as well as being able to freely assign duties. Corrupting and lowering mercenary Enya's Willpower will eventually unlock the prostitute assignment, for instance.

Crystal Heights also has two new locations – The Bank of Ikaanos and The Medical Facility. You're able to hire a servant (an accountant) at the bank, as well as ask for loans, and the medical facility offers a couple of implants (more are being developed) and a plastic surgery option for the MC and his slaves.

Add the large Prostitution framework to this and the first Alpha release of 0.8.1 is looking really exciting.

As I decided to add the Domestic Servant Engine before launching anything, the new preliminary scheduled date for Tier4+ Alpha 0.8.1 (A1) is set at October 5th.

While Alpha 0.8.1 (A1-A4) matures, I'll begin working on the massive Legacy Update – Masters of Raana's last Stretch Goal (more is to come, though!).

The Legacy Update is a gargantuan framework featuring wives, pregnancy and your ability to father interactable children. All the unique dialogues/events with your wife will take several weeks to code and fill in with texts/renders, so it's really hard guessing when you'll be able to marry a slave in MoR. My hope is that the first barebones version launches in late October – but this date might be subject change.

Additional features (0.8.1 PUBLIC)
Rebecca's completed render set.
Caitlin's completed render set.
At least 15 renders for Amelia.
And lots more!

NOTE: follow link for post w/pics. i know i annoy ppl when i post too many pics.

I've highlighted the part where more slaves are being added to the game. Seems to many imo. I'm less about having more slaves but more about enriching the existing slaves' story, lore, interactions. Adding more seems like an exciting idea at first but it makes the relationship impartial. It'll give less time for the devs to enrich the existing slaves' interactions and it'll give us more slaves like Amelia and Sofia who are very incomplete in terms of content which makes them uninteresting to pursue.

I've seen how adding too much destroyed games. I'd like to make a comparison between "Corruption" by Mr. C and "Insight of You" by AdventAnyx. Corruption focused on quantity. Dev added 2-3 new girls to corrupt every update. It became too impersonal, repetitive, and uninteresting. Insight of You focused on quality. Throughout the whole game, you'll only corrupt 3 girls but their story is so enriched that all of them are interesting. Especially your boss who was so stern at the start but you saw how she slowly turned into a submissive slut. Her corruption journey is so rich with so much renders, degrading side quests, and very personalized dialogues/interactions that I didn't feel like I missed out. It's a game that I'd recommend to anyone who is into corruption.

As to how it could be applied for this game, I'd rather that the devs enrich Lovisa's lore, interactions, and more renders rather than bring us her sister. Give her unique slave interactions based on her personality and background. Add perverted lines that only a vanilla girl in her background would say once you corrupt her. Something like "As someone from a religious family, I was raised to be pure. I never thought that I'd find happiness in sucking my master's cock all day and being used as a cumslut."

Same goes for every other slave in the game. Ariana having special, unique dialogues, interactions, and renders to show how much she strayed away from her activist, feminist ideologies.

So yeah those are just my thoughts with the roadplan. I hope the dev doesn't fall into the "quantity over quality" trap that a lot of devs fall into.

 

[hhyu]

love from china! This game is magical and I'm very addicted to it. I think the focus of the update should be more tasks rather than too many rendered images. This is because the graphics are very rough compared to other games. The strength of this game I think is a very interesting RPG interaction system that makes me feel like I'm actually in a slave country. That's why I think more tasks will help you.

I played both those games, though I didn't play Corruption long as the girls didn't appeal to me much, fake-looking tits are a huge turn off for me, and that's pretty much all that game had. "Insight of You" I played and enjoyed far longer, but in the end the fact the target of the MC's ire again had those fake-looking tits didn't appeal and otherwise I didn't find her all that sexy anyway. I did like the writing and humor in that game and it got as depraved as I like it sometimes, but in the end you knew the lovely red-headed girlfriend couldn't be corrupted too much as she was the MC's girlfriend and that just left Maya who I did really enjoy but in the end wasn't enough to keep downloading it just to watch her spiral into depravity.

Plus quite frankly I didn't think the target really deserved all that, she was a bitch but that was a pretty extreme comeuppance. I can't recall for sure, maybe she did try to hire a hitman or something, but even that seemed contrived just to kinda justify what she was gonna get. She was mostly just a bitch who ruined some people on her way up the corporate ladder--just like many men before her-- and I didn't think the punishment really fit the crime.

Point being the latter game didn't give me enough reasons to keep downloading as I started to feel a little sympathy for the poor target and she didn't really turn me on to begin with. In this game I don't particularly find Juno attractive, she has a rocking bod but the heavy tattoos don't appeal, though I do like her as a person and find her very useful. Piper is another one that's very useful but she doesn't do much for me either, she comes off as a mannequin or something with a body that for some reason reminds me a little of a blow-up doll.

Were it those two and say Lovisa who I find extremely attractive I might not be as interested in the game as just like with Maya I'd eventually want more girls I was interested in. Here there's Michelle, the tier 2 slave, Aria, Rebecca and others who're not done yet but really excite me at thought of seeing more of them. I want more options than just a few, thus I hope the dev doesn't completely curtail the possibility of new slaves and other characters.

That being said I'm not a fan of WIPs, though I understand why so many devs use them. I prefer however if their existence as WIPs is shorter than what I've seen so far, though I applaud the rate at which Grimdark develops new material and fills those WIPs. I was very happy to see that cute little slut from Furry's is going to get her quest and that we'll get Lovisa's sister, but that I didn't see anything about Valerie Barstow (?) was kind of a disappointment.

 

[Gunner Rey]

im not kidding. after playing free cities and strive 4 power and s4p conquest obsessively at different times. ive found that micromanaging more than a handful of slaves makes the interactions less enjoyable. in fact, if im not mistaken the corporations expansion in free cities was born partly out of the drive to reduce the amount of slaves a player needed to manage to be able to min/max his income, and abstracted it so player focus could return to individual interactions with his slaves.

trying to micromanage too many slaves makes things... impersonal. forgettable. disposable. in my opinion.

Fair enough. In my opinion I think this really depends on how long you intend on playing a particular game. What this game reminded me of the first time I played it was Daggerfall, anyone remember that? You could play one game for literally hundred of hours without totally running out of material, though in the end a lot of it would be auto-generated.

With more unique slaves you'll always have someone to work on, even if you've 'finished' many before. You don't have to do all of them at once, my strategy is to use the stables and some of the jobs/academy to 'prep' the girls while they wait their turn. In the meantime I implement my economic strategy while I concentrate on one or two at a time, though lately I've wondered if I'd be better off trying to spread the training out rather than spending so much time at the baths regaining their stamina.

At any rate the game allows for strategic choices in this regard that wouldn't be available with less choices and if you plan on playing a single game for hundreds of hours like I am, you don't want to run out of new erotic material.

Can creator remove the ban on highlighting text in the game? English native is not for everyone

 

[mrttao]

accept the reality that any man that thinks he can handle more that 6 woman at any given time is delusional, at best.

You are forgetting one important bit. They are slaves.
Not girlfriends, not wives, slaves.

If the number is too large you won't be able to sexually satisfy all of them. Nor romance them. But the magical thing about slaves is that... you don't have to.

 

[Space_Cow99]

Is there way pregnancy in this game in future?
I noted you upgrade the bedroom but study + guest room is limited upgrade?
One other thing is house selection would been nice to get instead and region area means different story instead of player's brother is dead, alive or abducted?
Give more means have another person give us insight what other means to do in region.
Brother being dead you have to bury him, alive greet player, and abducted ransom letter arrives.
Slaves potential found in areas in wild, or in streets.
tent near resource and have slaves harvest resources.
combat able slaves - get them more so able to attack with accuracy.
Last game I had released all my slaves because I found it pointless.
Can't get them pregnant - progeny offspring to see potential bloodlines? Bastards?
Bastards is that possible?

That would be great as some kind of "Advanced Option" selection, because I actually find it improves immersion a lot for a native english speaker to not be able to select text. (don't ask me why, but it just does, lol)

You can always use the browser console and copy the text that way. Breaks immersion a bit, but if yoy need to run something through a translator, it'll do the job.

You may have missed the point that was made, which is about economy of effort. InSight of You or Pyogara's or PinkTea's games or Karryn's Prison or Runaway Girl and Me are excellent examples of porn games that work using a limited number of characters, locations and scenes. And they feel complete and logical. Perhaps more devs could concentrate on writing shorter, more concise stories, rather than meandring soap operas with semi interesting lore and hundreds of copy-pasted paperdolls to mechanically corrupt?

Why can't there be both?

 

[madchef]

Why can't there be both?

The answer is simple: most amateur devs bite more than they can chew. Just a few can actually finish what they started. So, apart from Japanese made porn games made in a much more professional manner, you have only a selection of finished projects which took two, perhaps three years to make and oceans of ver. 0.0432643 games celebrating their 5th, 6th, 7th anniversaries of subscription sponsored WIPing.

 

[QQP_Purple]

Which one is it?

The tier one rebellious girl. I can't access my save files from my phone and don't remember the name. But like, you have 3 girls in tier 1, one is a maid and the other is that criminal girl that is rebellious by nature.

But fundamentally I am more concerned about the fact that I keep constantly failing rolls while having stats at over 80% which should mean I should succeed roughly 80% of the time.

 

[ffive]

The tier one rebellious girl.

That'd be Rebecca.

I don't know what you've done to her, so it's hard to comment. Personally, i've ignored her initial Defiance event and avoided at first subjects which can trigger further Defiance growth if the girl disagrees ("explain" topics etc) This way what little defiance she has will slowly drop down on its own and doesn't do much while it's up. Like others she starts with low happiness, so asking her how you can make things better offers quick actions to add some happiness/affection and help her mellow out. And like others she's very vulnerable to Dirty Talk (normal) seduction action, so as long as your Manipulation score is decent you can work her up into consensual sex mere few days after she arrives, and if you don't screw things up with poor performance you can both chip away her Willpower and have her grow further attached to the MC this way. Throw in some combat trips while she's assigned as follower and kill people to impress her. Take her out to cheap diner couple of times. Drop a few compliments once she turns friendly and less suspicious of things you say.

And that's basically it. Without focusing on her or anything she went from little ball of hate to Amiable and willingly showering together in like, 2 weeks. (my MC has Charm 30 and Manipulation 60, for what it's worth; using 5D20 rolls)

Your stat doesn't necessarily translate to a percentage roll, there's a curve involved in my experience.

It looks to me like FFive gave good advice, I usually choose to have higher charm and it's actually pretty easy that way as long as you talk to her, praise her and be decent enough....in the beginning at least...as after a while Rebecca will surprise you with how depraved she can be....
