Dev diary #4. Emotional simulation
🕑 Added 2019-11-04 10:47:57 +0000 UTC
Hello guys.
Today I will tell you how I am planning to simulate emotions and relationships with slaves in the game. Keep in mind, everything below is subject to change. I only started to implement this system. A lot of testing will be required before it works as I imagine.
So, each slave has 3 sets of characteristics: traits, relationships and emotional states
Traits
Those are the things that determine slave's character. They don’t change.
- Pride. Higher pride means she will resent being a slave. It will be harder to make her accept her fate.
- Naivete. How easily she trusts people.
- Sneakiness. Girl’s ability and willingness to lie and manipulate people.
- Libido. How much she enjoys sex. But it's not that simple. Even if a girl has high libido, that doesn’t mean that she will automatically enjoys everything that you or clients do to her.
Relationships
These characteristics determine what a slave feels about player’s character. They change slowly other time.
- Affinity. Whatever she likes or hates you as a person.
- Trust. Whatever she believes that you will treat her fairly.
- Respect. High respect will deter a girl from trying to lie or manipulate you.
- Fear. How much she fears you.
Emotional states
These things can change rapidly. A combination of states determines slave’s current mood. Which in turn affects her speech, animations and how she respond to player’s actions and other events
- Happiness
- Anger
- Confidence
- Stress
The last one is important because when it’s above a certain level, a slave cannot be sent to work. So, you should manage it carefully.
So, when a player does something, relationships and emotional states adjust. And how they adjust depends on:
- What exactly had been done or said
- Girl’s traits
- Girl’s current relationships
- Girl’s current mood
Also, same actions have a diminishing result if performed in close succession.
Regarding accessibility of those characteristics to the player. Currently I think, that only stress level should be shown (since it determines whatever a slave can attend clients or not). The rest will be hidden, but a player can guess them by paying attention to girl’s behavior. Although maybe I will make an option to show everything.
That’s all for today.
Next time I will explain, how you will couch your slaves in the art of love making and, I will talk about interactions with clients.
