Small change in plans! Molbon2 Theme, Aether's brothel scene, mini-game concept, and sneak peeks!

Hey everyone! I believe in the last post I said I would be working on the enemy placement for the new level, but due to some last minute things, we decided to sidestep, and tackle Aether's 1st Hscene this week. Sorry if you were looking forward to the level, but I will showcase some of it here either way!

To start off I have made the decision to bring Wishful Simping on for alternate tracks. He will be doing alternate tracks for the 2nd level of each planet. Shown above is a first look at Molbon2's theme. Pearlus2 is on deck as well.

Next I am going to dive into some of the specifics of this week: Aether's Brothel scene. We decided to do something a little different for this one.

Aether will lie in wait. A randomly generated male character will come along when you engage the next customer.

This customer can be one of several races.

They mostly use the same body type except for a surprise guest. The skin, and hair color will be randomly generated as well. The size of the male can change as well.

In general the rolled colors depend on the race rolled.

On top of a randomized male, Aether has 3 different positions.

 (This was actually a bit of a nightmare... because well... look at the bones I was working with.)

What does all this mean?... I couldn't tell you even if I tried... anyways!

Depending on where the customer climaxes, it will increase your messy level in that area.

 Each position has it's own state to reflect that.

Every position has 3 settings. Stopped, Slow, and Fast.

Something that will make this scene especially unique is that I am thinking about incorporating into a bit of a mini-game, and a potential way to make bonus credits. At the moment, this is merely a plan, and is subject to change, and may even be scrapped depending on how things go.

Upon starting this scene, your brothel profile will be shown.

As your experience in the brothel progresses, your name will be revealed, job (potentially changing as the game progresses). You will gain more credits per customer. The stamina will mostly just be how many times you can make money. I'm thinking stamina will reset after completing a level. You can still watch the Hscene after Aether's stamina is depleted, you will simply be labeled as "free use" until your stamina is replenished. (There may be some variables in play, like Pigman paying double, but Coyote paying you nothing.)

There may be a mini-game involved for "satisfaction" like doing the position, and speed they want, maybe even saying the things they want. These will likely be approached in a later week, however.

Aether's 2nd Hscene may or may not play on these values as well.

With the Hscene out of the way, there's another pin up coming along showing Aether's nice beach getaway in the Catiya2 area.

 maybe not-so-nice....

So what does Catiya2 look like? Here are some more screen shots!

    There are still some missing assets, like waterfalls that will be put in, but those will come later.

With some of the level showcased, let's move on to the next thing.

This is a bit pre-emptive, but I will also tease Aether's 2nd Hscene as well.

That should pretty much sum up what we have on the table at the moment.

Next week we will be getting onto Catiya2's level... for real this time ahhaa. I'll catch you all next week with the enemy placement, and a proper break down of how Catiya2 will play!

Thank you all so much for the support, and I hope you are all looking forward to Catiya2, and Aether's scenes!
