Fight me
Added 2024-03-06 19:34:01 +0000 UTCHi all and thanks for clicking onto this week's public check-in!
Today I want to concentrate entirely on the results of last week's poll as they were very illuminating, more so in fact than the mega-poll the week before. Let's start by taking a look at them.
Almost 75% of respondents who don't currently play combat would play it if there were more sexual elements to it. This is a clear message, and shows that making a change in this direction will have far more impact than tinkering with the balance of the existing system, which didn't come up as a major issue in either poll.
Slightly more people felt combat takes too long, but this too is not the way to persuade people in large numbers to switch off narrative mode and give it a go. H-elements are the key.
So, in the next stage of the combat overhaul, I will introduce these elements. I can't tell you when that'll be - definitely not in 0.8 - but I will start putting some ideas together and put it out to a consultation with at least the school council, but more likely all of my paid supporters, with contributory public polls too. I want to get it right this time.
(Man, some of those old 0.1-era graphics are showing their age now, aren't they? Expect more to be remastered as we go!)
Hey, don't grab me there!
The good news is that there are still only 12 non-wrestling fights to find in the game (rising to 13 in Chapter 6,) so modifying the existing ones isn't a particularly onerous task.
The other initial thought I have about this is that it's the ideal use for the game's "traffic light" combat system that I introduced in the initial release (remember how slapping Stacey could get you punished?) and so making you think about what level of lewdity you can get away with is also potentially a way to go with it. For instance, while you can (and should) rip Jess's clothes off and sit on her in the orchard fight, doing that in the school yard may attract some unwanted faculty attention...
So our course is set for the second part of the combat overhaul. Watch this space, and have a great week!

When caught without panties or when things devolve to a certain point the bullies could force her to wear a vibrator or butt plug during school on a loss if that is something you want to consider. Alternatively on a win Missy could have the option to steal the bullies panties for the day, rewarding the player with some nice up-skirts while at school. You could even take it a step further, allowing Missy to exchange the panties for certain favors when the bullies find out about an inspection, or leave them without to see their punishment in class.
