I quite agree on both counts. Having it take 20 minutes in the game would be detrimental to the "fun" aspect, and I feel the same way about the protagonist. Null doesn't come across as a player.
Sorry to tag you specifically. I was more that your exchange is what made the thought pop into my head in the first place. Thank you for the information.
I do think the girl's desire count increases too quickly. We don't want 20 minutes, but we don't want to be able to make her cum by just following a quick pattern either, especially when she's only got 2 orgasms in her (although, truth be told, most women are happy if they get one orgasm in an encounter, let alone two). The second orgasm is too easy to reach as she starts at 50% - most people are A. tired, and B. super sensitive after a good orgasm, stimulating her clit in any way for a minute or two afterwards is actually more painful than pleasurable. Same is often true for a guy's penis after orgasm, especially the head of the penis.
There is.
I'll have to disagree with you on this bit here. Women and men aren't the same. Men's refractory period is longer but for women, it's shorter. It takes them 20 minutes but it's very easy to domino into multiple orgasms. Hell, I've read that some 'single' orgasms might be 'micro-orgasms'. I agree that clitoral stimulation hurts, that's a bundle of nerves getting flicked by a dumbass. Sure, I've met women who liked getting that stimulated and some claims that's the only way they'll orgasm but that's certainly not the only way to make em cum.
I'm going to need to figure out how to get there... Hmmm... Fewer unique actions maybe? Or more... Maybe focusing on the erogenous zones instead of clicking makeout and then some heart options to get that bar filled as fast as possible isn't the right go.
I like how I was going "Don't overthink why these women are dropping their panties for you" and somehow still ended up overthinking something else... Like christ, the dev team definitely aren't doing that. We're kinda hyping this thing to unsustainable levels with all the overthinking.
True, but neither are all women the same (or men for that matter).
Well, we gotta do something until the next version drops!
There is indeed. Good job, stud!
Also, the whole preference system should matter. Right now, it is only cosmetic. It is better to pick a non-preferred action (small heart) than not under the current system. Also, if the player chooses to delay their orgasm, it probably shouldn't reset them at 0%. Maybe 75%? I also agree about the girl's desire count and not just being able to do the same thing each time.
Under the current system, more actions is the key.
Same thing happened to me two days ago. I made a comment about how comic book logic isn't real world logic implying we shouldn't overthink things, next thing I know, I'm giving a frickin' dissertation on how Adamantium poisoning would manifest in the real world.
As shown in other scenes, he has a limited range. Doesn't require skin-to-skin.
X-23: Innocence Lost and X-23: Target X are 99% canon to our game.
We have several reports of people forgetting this fact.
Correction, they're not fine with Null sleeping around. You have to ask them permission to date another girl.
Honestly this. I've gotten a girl off without taking her clothes off. Not hard if you know where to touch and how hard or light.
Null's dating history and sexual experience is open to player interpretation.
We try to stay as grounded as we can.
You have no fucking idea my dude.
Depends on the local temperature.
To be 100% transparent, we just want to get the foundations and Chapter 1 finished.
Thank you. This is why the game can "challenge" you.
It is.
That sounds like a skill issue.
Congrats on again being the first person to claim something. I have pages of complaints about how slow it is.
Rogue and Laura come across fairly well, but the vibe I got from Jean was more along the lines of: I've spent my whole life overthinking things, and look where it's gotten me, so this time I'm not going to overthink things and just go with the flow. I suppose that just shows how little I pay attention to subtext.
Sounds wise.
Fair enough.
That is actually unclear. Yes, he has limited range to nullify effects (the tennis balls dropped at about 2 feet), but it was implied (or was it stated?) that to nullify a power completely required contact (which is why he would grab Jean's hand, and she made him hang on, when her powers got away from her).
Oh I get that, but his draining power has much longer range than his nullification power, something like 6 feet IIRC, although staying away entirely is good during training.
Why does this not surprise me?
Being the same as everyone else is boring.
Slow? Seriously?
Pft, I'll have to try this out when I next play... Or wait for the update. I had a feeling A+ was possible but I never tried...
Right yeah, it's the fact that I don't think they'll say no... Hm... Maybe that's where the "build up their relationship with each other" through pool 'dates'/'hangouts'... I feel like i only started caring and inviting them to the pool after the harem had started...
It wasn't a big thing that mattered but god, it's nice to see an in-verse explanation. Attentiveness!
Love that
Mixed feelings. Love that everything is getting settled before more 'weight' is put on the system. It kinda looked like the updates recently are like changing an existing system, which kinda sucks (though, I'm all for improving a system or idea or anything like that for the better if something better presents itself).
Rude! But that's interesting, I wonder if orgasm has any impact on the grade... Ah wait heavy petting, that's basically every option in the standing pose that's more or less clothed. That'd certainly trigger an orgasm... I've gotten A so I wonder... More unique actions I guess.
I bet those same people who say it's too slow aren't complaining about Null being slow.
I feel like a 10-20% increase in the amount of actions required (for women) and the same percentage but a decrease for Null would be good. It's not too fast or too slow but a little tweak might be good to satisfy that... I wouldn't be bothered if the current rate stays the same though.
I don't know. Sometimes quickies are the better option.
One thing that occurs to me is the order of events also has an impact. In my playthrough, I liked Rogue the best, and progressed much faster than her in the beginning. So when the relationship conversation came up and I picked "I want to date others too," (because I've gotta catch 'em all), it felt natural (porn-game natural) that she'd go along with it. And yes, it isn't healthy. With the others, it was more of a case of "I'm with Rogue, and I'm not leaving her, so if you want to explore this thing, you need to be cool with that." Laura runs on instinct. You're the mate she's chosen, and she doesn't have the upbringing to care about stupid social constructs, so she's fine with it. Jean I felt was more of a "it's not like I'm happy with my life now, so I'll give it shot." I'm not saying I think it is real-world realistic necessarily, but it felt like a better setup for a harem than most games where you basically cheat on a bunch of women and when they find out they're fine with it because "magic cock."
My obsession with perfection and completion demands that I get A+ ALWAYS.
Oh hey me too, I was progressing Jean and Laura a bit too fast, unexpectedly and so I made sure to power progress Rogue a bit since First Girl/Best Girl should get Null first. At least dating-wise. Honestly, that's the part where I've got it stuck in my head that the girls might've been expecting exclusivity. That Jean date (before the relationship became official) made her sound so much like "I'm a one-guy type of gal" and so comment courtesy would imply she's expecting the same from me.... That or I misread some shit. Would not be the first time!
Her specific comment was just about casual sex basically. Saying she doesn't do one-night stands, not about sharing you with other girls. Needless to say she also wouldn't try to date other guys while with you.
We haven't really changed any of the girls compared to earlier releases. If anything, just given them more writing and character development.
I was thinking about this, from a programming perspective this is very much a good idea. If you proceed to Chapter 2 before all the main process are added and polished, it becomes that much more work to add/ polish them when you do get to it, which will slow things down later. I think this will pay off better in the long term as development should be easier* from Chapter 2 on.
This was very much my interpretation, she thinks Null is the best, therefor he is the best and all other females would think the same way, and it is only right for the best male to have the best females. On the same hand, she sees herself as the best female (strongest) and thus should be the Alpha Bitch as well.
This is actually a good interpretation of the character and functions as something built on top of what I said.
I can pass this on to the writers.
Good writing?
I mean I don't play these kinds of games with the expectation of it being true to life but I've had a lot of complaints making it seem like we've made it as difficult as real life... which is just silly.
The team is currently expanding the friendship stuff. Make it more dynamic and interesting.
But it is funny lol
I think the head writer has something in the works.
Dude, a lot of the stuff is built this way.
At least we aren't Stellaris.
