So, I keep getting sidetracked (not a bad thing, sidetracks are for good causes), so things are going a bit more slowly than I anticipated r.e. getting my alternate intro and new side plot coded. But I am making progress. I didn't promise anything for at least another week so no worries.
Anyways, so I had a thought while explaining some variable methodologies for quarters/cell progression, and I had a thought, which will be implemented with Batgirl at least in the next update.
So, Batgirl's cell progression in SU, as I remember, is:
Talk to her a few times, costume change or two. (CorruptionLevel 0-5)
Dance 3 times (CL 6+)
Spank 3 times (CL 9+)
Strip once (CL 12+, +3 Corruption Points instead of 1)
Blowjob 3 times (CL 15, 2 Corruption Points first 3 times instead of 1)
Sex 3 times (CL 21+)
Anal 3 times (CL24+)
Slut outfit/nicknames/fully sluttified. (CL 27+)
Leash scenes are triggered after Babs has stripped at least once, then there's the Batgirl + Supergirl content.
So in my mind, the first two leash walks are worth +2 corruption, the first 'joint leash walks' with Batgirl and Supergirl are worth +2 corruption, and the first two Supergirl visits to Batgirl's cell are worth +2 corruption.
I then had a thought about Stripping. While you normally only have to have Babs strip one time before advancing to Blowjobs, what if you could earn an extra corruption point if she strips again in a different outfit, max +2 points for 'extra stripping sessions?' This, along with leash and special visits, could earn an extra 8 points in total...
This means that you'd theoretically be able to do only 1 Blowjob, then Sex one time, then Anal 1 time, doing one of these three activities one more time before qualifying for full sluttification?
The idea here is to 'change up' the grind a bit for players. Of course, players can still interact with a gal up to 3 times in a given night after a certain point, but you could 'mix this up a bit' after the gal strips the first time, as an example:
Have her put on a different outfit and strip a second time (+1 corruption), then do the second blowjob (+1 corruption) and then have sex the first time (+1 corruption).
For Supergirl, this gets even more interesting when you throw Galatea into the equation (even more bonus points!).
Note that you'll still need to do each activity at least once before advancing to the next activity the next night, IF your corruption level is high enough for that activity at that point.
Also, the option to 'choose' whether sperm goes inside or outside could be introduced the second time instead of the third time if corruption level is already high enough, instead of HAVING to repeat the activity a third time to 'enable' this menu option.
Anyways, yeah you'll probably see this in the next update, r.e. when exactly menu options for the next activity tier are unlocked. The point of all this is to make the 'extra activities' a bit more useful.
Also note that leash walks, when I get around to tracking those, will earn Lex a bit of extra income each night (videos being shared on the 'net), and that, once Lex has a few consorts available, consorts will be able to be assigned to 'auto leash walk' a few gals to generate said income, freeing up Lex for other things.
I've talked about a lot of this stuff before, just noting that we will be finally starting to implement these ideas in 0.28.
I'm hammering through a couple of coding headaches with consorts atm, but in the 0.28 update, you'll be able to switch Mercy and Harley between being "Lex's Aide" and assigning one of them to the Legion Hideout. Note that Tala stil won't be able to be combined with another consort (so not Harley or Mercy), so as to avoid the 'free heists' thing...
Mercy will be pulling double duty until at least one other consort is added to Lex's consort list. Currently Harley is the only other consort that is 'implemented', although Superwoman, Harley #2, etc. will eventually be added to SU ReImagined. Once a second consort becomes available, Mercy will no longer agree to pull 'double duty'.
Now I need to check back through this thread to remember what I had in mind for Lex's Aide as far as bonuses or whatever...
I'm thinking about removing Mercy's "insta-capture" ability in the next update. That was mostly just a holdover from when the Legion Hideout hadn't been coded yet anyways. However, now that I'm typing this out, perhaps the 'insta-capture' ability could be a "Lex's Aide' ability thingie, since the consort that is assigned as Lex's Aide will no longer be available for heists...
As a reminder, other things that consorts will eventually be able to be assigned to are Leash Walks, Security (reduce threat level), special missions, and of course as Lex's Aide and the Legion Hideout. Also resting, once I start implementing fatigue costs for said activities. Note that at least one consort will need to be assigned as Lex's Aide and to the Legion Hideout at all times. The gal assigned to the Legion Hideout is essentially acting as Lex's Lieutenant, overseeing heists and such when not directly involved with said heist, etc. I'm also thinking of implementing a small bonus if a Lieutenant isn't directly assigned to a heist or capture.
As always, feedback is always welcome and appreciated!
