Getting inside your head

Hello everyone!

I've mostly survived a crazy week, it's not over yet, but it's Friday and here I am sat at my machine working on the game.  And I also have some new stuff to show you!

First up, I would like you all to meet the newest character model to join our menagerie, Miss Helena Fafine, the school counsellor.  I'm very pleased with the way this yummy mummy came out. We'll be meeting her in 0.6, but we'll be getting to know her properly in future updates.

So here she is from err... another angle. Since she won't be getting naked in 0.6, enjoy this supporter-exclusive render to keep you going in the meantime.

We have the long-trailed school counsellor route coming up in act 2, in which Miss Fafine will attempt to resolve Missy and Jess's conflict using her... unorthodox methods. But before that, we'll be meeting her during Avenging Angel.

Counsel me harder

This lady does however have another important function at Alancia's.  One aspect of BDSM that the game has not yet really explored in any great detail is the concept of aftercare.  For the uninitiated, this involves the mental and emotional resumption of normality at the end - usually involving the dominant partner in some way showing love and affection to the submissive, who they were quite possibly beating the shit out of only moments earlier, which is of course the whole point. It was a fantasy that happened within a loving relationship and now it's over.

Put yourself for a moment in the shiny black shoes of an Alancia's girl. You are expected to behave perfectly, made to walk around in a tiny skirt then spanked if someone sees your panties, which are inspected regularly anyway. You can be stripped naked, humiliated and belittled before all of your friends and enemies, and you must obediently comply and even thank your tormentor. And you have no comeback.

Even accounting for pron logic, this is going to leave some mental scars. And this is where Miss Fafine comes in. She is Alancia's answer to aftercare. Girls too shaken by their experiences can be sent to her for some TLC. I envision this character being used for scenes of a more wholesome, loving form of submission, allowing Missy to be vulnerable and submissive in a different way and perhaps giving the player some sort of passive buff to social interactions in the same way perfume does if she is under the effects of having been "healed" by the counsellor. I'm very excited about the possibilities.

Anyway, a couple more previews:

Here's a before and after of Missy being stripped of her top in class.  Currently this can happen in the "bad bra" event but since it's also going to feature in one of the new class events in 0.6, it was time to bring it up to date.  Once again, you can see the immense difference that can be made with lighting changes, though there are some character reposes here too.  I'd forgotten to even give Missy a red face in the original. I mean, it's a pretty embarrassing thing to have happen to you. Maybe she needs a trip to Miss Fafine's office?

I think this is a particularly good shot of sexy, violence-loving bad girl Allison. Leaning over a naked Missy, who's still on that pool table, what could this beautiful but malevolent young woman be up to?

That's all for today. I hope these previews get you hyped for 0.6.  Progress is going well, but we'll take a closer look at that on Monday. Have a great weekend!
