Them's Fightin' Words

Hi everyone, and thanks for reading this week's public update!
Progress-wise, Chapter Six is proceeding nicely and writing has started on that other stuff I mentioned last week.
Today I want to talk about how you think the first stage of the combat overhaul went. To remind you, the changes I made in 0.7 were:
- Grapple is now guaranteed, but no longer does poison damage. When grapple is applied, it has a 65% chance to also apply a new effect, demoralized, which does the poison damage grapple used to do.
- If both combatants attempt to grapple in the same round, neither will be grappled.
- Rip Bra/Panties have had their rolls tweaked.
I also introduced narrative mode, so if you no longer do combat, please just select that option as it's also good for me to know how many are doing this.
Thank you for participating in this important research!

No disrespect to people who enjoy the combat, but I love narrative mode. I just discovered the game recently - I've never played the game the other way and I probably never will. The writing and sexy D/s content is what I'm here for and it's excellent.

2024-02-23 11:02:25 +0000 UTCI will respetfully disagree about combat only being immersive for dom path. Sub path is more immersive even: the push and pull of having to try your hardest in a fight and losing only makes the domination scene twice as impactful. The only problem is I feel like the game still doesn't have any incredibly difficult fights so I would love to see more of that.

2024-02-23 00:15:09 +0000 UTCI'll be honest I haven't touched the combat in a while since dom path in early versions which lacked content for it then. In principle though, I think combat still serves a role in dom path for the immersion, it can be rewarding with special dialogue in it between hits for example. Maybe not worth if you don't have the time/resources. Keep up the work!

2024-02-22 18:10:27 +0000 UTCI personally loved the addition of narrative mode. I don't really think the idea of combat really works in this game. If anything maybe have it be an option based fight might be more interesting, where if you pick certain options you will win or lose instead.

2024-02-21 19:05:53 +0000 UTCFail states, through combat or otherwise, in porn games is an oddity, to me. Sexy scenes through losing can eventually become mundane, even annoying, when viewed repeatedly. Especially with the additions of 1) knowing failure is what led to the scene, 2) you're going to have to risk further failure+repetition of scene to progress to more of the game, 3) you want to experience more of the game that is blocked off. I am not, necessarily, opposed to such fail states, but think that the player should be able to choose whether the mc succeeds/fails and only goes through the consequences of either as many times as the player wants to.
