Hi everyone!
Here are some notes about what we've been doing!
This week we have finished writing and translating the texts of Sex Maniac Mansion and the whole map of the mansion has been established. For now, the doors and room/areas transitions work and as you can see in the gif, we have started experimenting with the enemies (they'll move a little faster tho, at least the animation).
About Lustbringer mentorship, this week we have established everything that will be in it, from the beginning to the end, and how it will work. Not being exactly the same, but we think this game will be a mix of Elana, Champion of Lust chapter 1, the tavern management of chapter 2 and the combat of chapter 3.
Also we think it is already fairly balanced but we'll have to wait until it's working to see if its true. What you see in the blurred sketch it is a blueprint of the whole game which could not seem much but it is some sort of translation and compilation of a lot of notes and way more chaotic sketches we've been doing.
In addition we have almost finished the whole text and dialogues for it. The game will have around 300 events (but it will not be a game with a lot of text, beside some special events, most events will be one liners), around 60 animation, 70-100 images, at least 8 backgrounds and at least 10 characters with their proper avatar for dialogues.
We leave you here with the event for the intro so you can take a peek of how the game vibe will bee.
Have a nice weekend!
LUSTBRINGER INTRO:
(Lara's avatar appears)
Lara Roh: Ding dong, hello, hello!
(Astan's avatar appears)
Astan: Mother Lara! What a pleasant surprise, what brings you to our humble abode? Come Sal, come! Mother Lara has come.
(Sal's avatar appears)
Sal: Mother Lara, what a joy!
Lara Roh: Ah, my two favorite Lustbringers, as handsome and sexy as ever, let me hug you! Smuach, Smuach, Smuach, Smuach, Smuach. How's retired life treating you? What was that thing you were doing? Things isn't it?
Sal: We're doing fine, Lara. We are multidisciplinary artisans. We make creations of all kinds, looking mainly for aesthetics but without forgetting functionality.
Lara Roh: That's what I said, right? Things... knick-knacks. I'm sure it's exciting... For some.
Astan: Ha ha ha ha! I told you we should have called the business Interesting knick-knacks or something, Sal.
Lara Roh: Well, I have a proposal that will take you out of your gray and dull lives!
Sal: Our lives are not gray and dull.... They are perfect.
Lara Roh: Nonsense! Child! Come here, my child!
(Nere's avatar appears)
Larah Roh: This is Nere. She is twenty-four years old and recently entered the temple with the latest class of Lustbringers. Our aura tests indicate that she has incredible potential, even greater than you showed.
Astan: Oh, how nice to see that the new generations are coming on strong. Did you bring her to meet us as a kind of educational field trip? Nice to meet you, Nere. I am Astan and this is Sal, my wife.
Nere: These are the legendary Sal and Astan...? ... They're... Old...
Sal: Excuse me, brat...?
Astan: Girl... we're not even forty...
Nere: And what's wrong with their clothes? Are they poor or just... they don't care what others think?
Lara Roh: You see, Nere is an only child of a wealthy family from one of those northeastern countries that don't use love energy as the basis of the economy, those that, for some reason, use shiny colored metals to measure goods.
Nere: Proud representative of Roderemia. Heir daughter of the Roushcrest saga.
Lara Roh: She keeps repeating that like a parrot, I already told her that those things don't matter even in one's own town, much less thousands of kilometers away, but she goes on and on.
Lara Roh: Apparently being a Lustbringer is her dream and some mandatarys have asked the cult of the goddess to train her as a gesture of goodwill towards Roderemia. As I said the girl also has more than enough potential to be one.
Sal: ... What I don't understand is how this concerns us?
Lara Roh: I was just coming to that, my dear. We are done...
Astan: Have you completed her training?
Lara Roh: What? No! On the contrary. We are done in the sense that we gave up teaching her... Look at her... She's insufferable...
Astan: We still don't understand what all this is about...
Lara Roh: Don't you see, you are perfect to be her mentors! She needs someone to train her... You guys need some purpose to brighten up your gray lives...
Sal: Come on, our lives have plenty of light and color!
Astan: We are not interested, Lara. Being Lustbringers was a wonderful stage of our lives but now we are in another wonderful stage of our lives.
Lara Roh: I didn't want it to come to this but.... If you do not accept this assignment I am afraid I will have to revoke your access to the temple canteen.
Astan: Lara... Let's see... No... You can't... You can't do this to me Lara... We worked very hard and we earned that right and much more...
Sal: That was a very, very low blow, Lara. You know the fetish Astan has for canteen meatballs.... It's almost obscene.
Lara Roh: You don't get to be High Priestess of the Lustbringers if you don't detect where people's most sensitive spots are.... And, technically, the canteen is only for active Lustbringers...
Astan: You don't understand, Lara... I would kill for those meatballs! Those meatballs are my life!
Sal: Wow... Very flattering, dear husband.
Lara Roh: Well, you're in luck, you won't have to kill anyone, just be the mentor of this lovely young lady.
Sal: Why do you care so much?
Lara Roh: Do you know Derban Tarah?
Sal: Mr. jawline? The one with the rumors of... Ahem...
Lara Roh: Aha... He was the specific mandatary who asked me this as a favor... I've been trying for some time to... Practice some rituals on him... If you know what I mean....
Sal: Hmm... Totally understandable... I keep passing on helping you, but I understand you.
Astan: Won't you give me a hand, Sal?
Sal: Me? I don't care about the meatballs in the temple canteen. They're certainly not "my life."
Astan: You know it was a figure of speech....
Sal: I know, honey... But it's a great way to wash my hands without looking like the bad one.... Plus, lately you weren't very motivated to make "knick-knacks." I'm still passionate about it.
Astan: Ah... Well then, Nere, it looks like I'm your new mentor! What are your strengths in the arts of love and lust?
Nere: What do you mean, isn't it obvious?All the boys and girls have always wanted to be with me.
Astan: Well... And what do you used to do? What are your moves. Your star techniques... We can go from there.
Nere: I don't follow you... I didn't do anything... If I felt magnanimous or horny I would let them do things to me. What I told them to do, of course... I'm already more than enough of a prize for them.
Lara Roh: Aaaaaaand....Well, that sums up your new problems.... I should go now, it was quite busy at the temple today. I'll come back for her in say.... Three months? A hundred days? I think this will give you enough time.
Astan: Wait, wait... We haven't talked about payment. Her maintenance...
Lara Roh: The payment will be all the Love energy you generate during the mentoring... Tax free.
Astan: From what you tell me... and she tells me... we're not exactly going to be generating a lot...
Lara Roh: Train her better then. Bye bye, bye!

(entrance and exit of pit to black)
Astan: Ah... She always gets away with it... Anyway, Nere. I think we should start at the beginning and see how it goes. Do you know a little about our society, the love energy? I suppose that since you want to be a Lustbringer you know a little about it.
Nere: I know that Lustbringers are the most respected members of your society and that they mainly spend their days fucking. If I am the first Lustbringer of my society, already having a certain position, I will be like a goddess.
Nere: ...
Nere: At least I hope so ... Today I found out that, apparently.... The status of a Lustbringer doesn't last very long...
Sal: You could start by teaching her a little bit of BDSM. I can go for the spanking paddle...
Astan: Our society is based on the energy of love and lust. We use the "magic" generated by these acts for everything, from our main source of energy to our currency for trade.
Astan: Lustbringers are not only our main source of this energy, they are also the spiritual basis of our goddess beliefs and what our society, founded on free, full, sexual love, represents.
Nere: All of this does not interest me....
Astan: Ah... It is true that we will have to start from the beginning...
Nere: Let's get down to work then... The sooner we start, the sooner we'll finish... Take me to your house and show me my quarters.
Sal: This is our house. We live here.
Nere: In a barn?!
Sal: This is a beautiful country house!
Nere: No, no... I've seen a lot of country houses of my parent's friends... They are not like that...
Sal: This is what happens when someone has been given everything in life and has never had to go through difficulties...
Nere: As I understand it, since you established the religion of the goddess, you live in a kind of sexual utopia and no one has had any real difficulties for centuries.
Sal: ...
Sal: Shut up... Go to work!
