[ Spanquest Part 2: Shining Road ]

Speaking of the gold counter, how about putting 'butt status' in the same window? That would make the amount of space it takes up on the screen more reasonable.

Okay so I tried to play the demo. Testing out the new spanking features was fun I must of spanked the tester for a good few minutes before It appeared to stop but the spanking interface was still stuck up. I could move around talk to people and use doors and pause but I couldn't see any of that after spanking the bot since the interface wouldn't turn off. I tried it again today and after switching a bunch of implements before settling on the cane I switched the test NPC a few times and the app straight up crashed giving me a "Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'width' of null. I had to close and reboot Game.exe Triggering the inn keeper spanking from not paying room fee crashes the game after a few smacks. If you request a spanking then she gives you one with the new system and it functions fully. The new stats are a great idea but I haven't seen much difference in the conversations or spankings based on those in the demo yet. I also am in agreement that the text sound is a bit annoying. To summarize with the exception of the text sound I like all the new features but much of this should be reworked or have a on off switch like the text sounds and the spanking interface as well as the automated vs click to spank. I am hyped for the finished product.

I really like the new system for choosing how to spank, I worry a little about the graphics during the spanking though, uncanny valley and all that, and a couple others are somewhat right in that it takes a little away from the imagination.

I really liked Zekels interpretation with Smacs. Where if we just saw the butt condition plus the animated faces for both spanker and spankee as it is now that would be enough detail for me.

Other than that it looks awesome. I can't wait to play more of it.

@Spiral King I find there's a change in text for the different friendship and behavior stats, but not too much in the actual spanking yet. That seems to be effected more based on how you act during the spanking.
That way it's a little different (although it's based on new stats not player choice) I think than the original where if you did something (like checking her drawers for underwear in front of her, it would branch off into a total different spanking situation.

So friendship/behaviour changes the inital response to the spanking request, and text if you argue etc. Arguing as a brat iirc gets different lines than well behaved. Even end text I think.

But has potential to be totally different I'd think. As in sleeping in a room without paying is one thing, doing it at -50 stat might be another whole branch. And I'd assume at -50 the autospankings (no choice) could be quite different. I just hope Bagools head doesn't explode dealing with it .

@bagool, btw makes me think. Is the impressions query thing (where she tells you friendship and behavior levels) going to be a set option in NPCs, or is it a demo thing and that type of banter will be in the chat/greeting. "ah, my favourite customer. Been hearing not so nice things btw...". More organic migth be nice, with a 'item' if you really wanted to check up the numbers behind the scene if things/triggers get complicated. Idea stolen from Diary of a Slave which I believe had a necklace that showed player/npc stats.

@Nadja: That'd be cool and all, but I have literally no idea how I'd do that. The gold window is straight from a plug-in, so unless I can edit that someway it ain't happnin'.

@Spiral: If you're getting crashes, you may want to switch to playing it on Firefox from the html in the game files. It's an issue with how some computers handle the code from the plug-ins, and it varies from OS's. There are differences in conversation and other events based on your stats, but there aren't many opportunities to change your stats this early.

@Tontomanzz: Good observation with the stats and how they affect the game. You were right for the most part, except I still plan on having those solid-choice options from the last version and game where it completely changes the scene. The interactions with the Innkeeper and sleeping in aren't in the game yet. There will be less of having a choice that changes their impression of you completely, and more of having an opportunity to greatly adjust their impression of you based on your actions and responses. I plan on having some general changes in dialogue to reflect the levels of your stats, but considering there are 3 stats that affect dialogue and 3 levels of each stat, that means there are at the minimum 9 different possibilities for just one text option, and while that might not seem like a lot. Even having 1 for each character is a lot of typing. That isn't even mentioning how the players portrait becomes more pained in certain dialogues based on their damage taken. I have some small changes like your name being used at higher levels, and the availability of gossiping unlocked later on to indicate that gradually, while the impressions is supposed to be the most bare bones way of viewing it. I do plan on having an actual item being in the game to view the pure stats though.



!BTW! Everyone, I made a new poll to decide on some future adjustments to the game. It's linked back on the OP, and I highly recommend everyone take it so I can get a good idea of what my audience wants. I won't take the final results for a week or so though.

[Nadja]

Great idea with a new poll, I'll fill it in.

Hey, Bagool!
Want to say , love the new changes and I'm in even MORE LURVE with the Innkeeper now.
I intend to donate to that Patreon sometime in the next 2 or 3 months, when I get some $ coming in. Maybe as soon as next month.

Far as it goes, I've run into a few crashes, and I can't get the 'regular events' (such as getting spanked for not paying and so far the perfume stuff hasn't worked for me either) to work. In the case of the events in her room she seems not to notice at all, whether she is there with you when you do them or you do them after she leaves. In the event of the 'not paying' spankings it just goes black after she starts and goes maybe halfway through and then stops responding. In the newer events, if I get her attitude (via repeated "sweet ass" plus already taking a spanking or two and giving her the wine) to the "I'm not going to wait to spank you" level, she never actually does no matter what I do. She just stops and acts as if nothing happened. I am playing the game in Windows 7 Ultimate with 64 bits, running as Admin and using 640 x 480 settings. Still, I haven't played in the web browser yet , so not sure if its a plugin thing like you were talking about. I'll let you know how that goes.

As for the rest, I like the new interface, though I haven't fully tested spanking Blue Haired girl with all the options yet. (The one time it told me I passed I had used the hairbrush and"hard" all the way through). I like how SOME of the innkeepers responses have varied. I won't mind if you let her GET spankings as well in some future revision: I am a male switch, though if I had to pick between the two(hopefully if you do put in the extra code we get both, as she and Mey are my two girls as tops) I'd rather she stay totally toppy then drop it and be all bottom.

Anyway, thanks for your work. I'll let you know how it runs in a browser in a few days.

Ack: I should mention I also like the lil witch and Mey's assistant as characters but to be honest its embarassing as the assistent might be 17 and the witch looks 14 to 16 though I'm sure they are both over 18 right and blah blah.

Sorry to ask remo, but who is Mey?

The little witch i suppose is the one in the forest

Okay, fine, don't laugh.
If memory serves, Mey is the spankster in daycard of Iron City.
