Writing Binge

I've been doing a ton of writing the past few days. I've spent time editing old events to use the tag system, I've written some new things for encounters, and I've also gotten around to adding in some new endings.

Here's a sort of teaser of the endings I've been working on. I say teaser, because all of the new endings are blanked out!



What? It wouldn't be much fun if I released a full list of all endings and how to get them before they're even released! Alright, I'll say that one of the new yellow ending chains has to do with finding "respectable" brothel work.

The first thing worth noting is that the endings are split up into tiers. You'll always take the highest tier ending that you quality for. There is no way to quality for two endings at the same tier due to the way qualifications work, so it should never be a problem. A lot of endings evolve into another ending when additional qualifications are met, whether it's from skills, events completed, or even your race.

Another point is that most endings evolve into a different type of ending. Looking at the flowchart, it looks more complicated than it actually is. Get one of the typical endings, and then have a specific set of stats, a particular accomplishment, or the right character setup. Having a virgin character that's well-accomplished might lead to one of the T3 endings, whereas having a virgin character that's consumed scores of dicks might soil your chances at getting the T2 ending, even though you're a virgin. This means that getting the highest virgin endings is going to require a certain amount of restraint.

I mostly wanted to expand pregnant (red) and virgin (green) endings. For those that don't know, there is currently a hidden stat that keeps track of if your character was fertilized. In order to keep the game from being anti-fun, a character can't get pregnant on their first intercourse. The chance to get pregnant increases the more intercourse a character has. This is to make sure that characters who are forced to put out don't have to take a 20% or so chance to get the worst endings. Well, it's subjective or not whether they are worse - red endings are basically all highly sex related, and might be preferred. Previously, no yellow endings were, but there are a few sex-related yellow endings drafted up now.

If you haven't picked up the clues, the theme of this next update is tailoring the game to suit your characters, with additional customization, events actually describing your character, a journal keeping your characters history, and additional endings that show how your choices affected the outcome.

I have yet to get around to working on the failure endings. Those will be one of the next things I work on.
