So, wish lists are always a double edged sword. On the one hand, you want to see what you want to see, play how you want to play. On the other, you have to be realistic in regards to budget, time, resources, as well as the overall scope of the original game design.

By now you've seen my name plastered on a bunch of existing 'Feature Request' threads, so I'll try to limit these to items I've personally yet to see. Granted, I'm not sure exactly what will be in 2.2 and subsequent updates thereafter, so forgive me if this is something already in the works.

Transitions, Equipments, and You

So, one particular feature I'd like to see (and haven't heard/read of yet) involves continuity from one position to the next. This specifically targets clothing, and nipple clamps (and in the future other bondage gear such as ropes, harnesses, shackles, spreader bars, etc.). As of right now asking a girl to move from one position to the next removes or undoes whatever you've done. Nipple clamps will be on the floor, clothes that haven't been totally removed will re-set (tested with Jenna in the pool, and Samantha, in fast sex mode, via typing the position you want them to take in the dialogue chat). In story mode you always get in a situation where you have to completely undress the ladies, so it's harder to test this.

Resistance is Futile

This could be in the process of being addressed in the forthcoming 2.2 update, but I might as well lay it out now. I think, in regards to bondage situations, there should be a clearer sign of struggle. This involves more animation work, obviously, but it would be nice if--at first--Samantha (or whoever if we can get other girls into bondage) will tug and twist at her chains (or rope, and other binds, in the future), making fists and flexing her fingers (lots of hard work, I know), and trying to turn away from your attempts to spank her, or whip her. This has always been a part of power-control play, I think, where the submissive pretends to resist and then slowly relents over time. You guys touched on this a little bit during story mode where you break Samantha down with continuous slaps, but I'd love to see this struggle and submitting play out visually. As we get into 'water play', I'd love to see a little bit of tears and drooling from the sting of the spanking, or from the weight on the nipple clamps.

Another part (and this is probably more about story enhancement) would be negotiation, expanded. Touched on a little during Jenna's part in Wet Dreams, I think this could play into Dark Dreams as well. Samantha (or whoever, again), will resist, calling you out, calling you names, but as you proceed with the BDSM, she starts to negotiate with you (and maybe with some clever dialogue trickery you can negotiate with her in return). Things like, "If you stop struggling I won't spank you so hard" or she might say, "I'll do whatever you say, but please take the weights off!" of her nipple clamps, etc. Then of course you can remove the weights, or put heavier ones on.

Another aspect of BDSM is teasing the sub; placing the object on different parts of her body, feathering it against erogenous zones, making her sweat waiting for when you're going to slap. It's probably a lot more complex than it sounds in terms of programming, but I think it would be awesome if you're just rubbing the paddle against her for awhile and she starts off whimpering, begging you not to, and then slowly she'll start saying 'Oh god..." as you move this way or that and then SLAP! But this can wait for awhile, I think.

The final bit in the evolution of the BDSM part would be the whole emotional transition package: valiant/defiant, pleasure in pleasure and pleasure in pain, pain in pleasure, and then pleading for you to stop because she thinks she's going crazy. At that point, if this was the real world, she'd have a safe word (which would be cool to have in-game anyway).

Knowing your erogenous zones

I sincerely hope at some point we can properly add the clit into the game, and make the nipples active participants during sex play. Right now the vibrator and dildos have only two places they can go and affect. I'd love to see at some point the ability to play with the girl's clit using the vibrator (or any number of toys I'm sure are forthcoming). I'd also like to use the vibrator on the nipples, or on the chains of the nipple clamp, that causes a reaction in her. In fact, I'd also like to be able to manually tug and pull on the nipple clamps if she misbehaves!

Expanding your Arsenal

This has been mentioned before, but there are a few specific items (of which a couple I've mentioned elsewhere) I'd like to ultimately see some time down the road:

-St. Andrew's Cross
-Strappado Bondage
-Stocks
-Blindfolds
-Gags
-Rope/Leather harnesses
-Clitoral clamps
-A harness for holding toys inside her
-Whips

A Sticky Situation

Maybe I've been ruined by years of playing Illusion games where cum tends to stick (i.e. a new skin for the model), but I wouldn't mind seeing body splatter be more persistent. Right now the stuff just shoots out in large clumps and then sloughs off rapidly. Maybe this is addressed in the new, advanced, mucus features in 2.2, I don't know, but I'll say it anyway: over all I like how the stuff flies out, but it'd be nice if it was less 'large balls of white stuff' and more of the stringy, splattery, variety that tends to hang around (no pun, I swear!) on the body. Although, I do love how the stuff slowly dribbles out of her when she's creampied, that was a nice touch.

In Conclusion

So, I think it would be nice if there was a bit more realism in regards to how orgasm functions. Right now the player has absolute control of not only when, but how much, the player's character cums. Of course, we'll see the girl cumming in the 2.2 update, but I wouldn't mind there being some sort of...hidden trigger for ejaculation and a short refractory period for both the player and the player's partner. I think this sort of mechanic can lend itself well to the story, especially if we ever add a function where the girl takes over, or puts you in bondage. She can go, "That was great...is there still more in there?" or "That was it? I'm not done with you yet!" And with her, if you get her to cum, she could be all like, "Wait, stop, I'm still too sensitive!" etc and etc

Knowing yourself

Right now every girl loves it in both holes, and every girl loves being peed on (except for the face, apparently, no one likes that, lol), and every girl loves it in every position. Obviously, the difference thus far is Samantha in her love of BDSM and calling the player 'Master', which--so far as I can tell--isn't reciprocated by the other females. I think within the story it would add to the variety if every girl has a preference, and every girl has a breaking point wherein she decides to leave if you go too far in a certain direction.

Hands R Us

I love handjobs, I'd love to see handjobs in this game, as well as titfucks, and any number of situation where the girl has a modicum of control over you. Handjobs in particular would lend itself well to the first person view. It's been mentioned before in other threads and by myself as 'girl in control' scenes.

It's All About Control

Not the keymapping, or the controls in general. What I mean is, being able to dictate exactly how hard you spank or whip a girl by how far back and how fast you move your mouse. Shorter more subtle strokes of the mouse equals softer slaps against her rump. But, wildly moving your mouse from way back to a sudden rush forward creates a louder crack against her flesh, forcing her body to flinch away from it, and causing her to moan louder (or even scream a little). The audio cues are sorta there already, if a little inconsistently.

Zippers

'Nuff said.



So, I think I got that word vomit out of my system. Those are all the items that I *think* stay true to the nature of the game. I can't speak for the plausibility of any of that stuff ever being done, and I never expected to see any of it done by 2.2 or 2.3 or any other update anytime soon. But, those are the stuff I think could enhance the game as is without fundamentally changing what it's about. There are other stuff I'd love to mention, but I believe most of that has been covered by other people (so far as I've read anyway).

Now, here are the other items that's much less realistic and/or will likely break the game's character:

-more RPG elements regarding sexual stamina, convincing a girl to try new things, improving a girl's (and your) proficiency at love making through various acts of intimate practice with partner, or other mini-games, such as reading books, watching videos, practicing on dolls, etc.
-building an actual relationship with the girl, ala Singles-style
-hairplay (pulling, untying, etc)
-manually binding a girl to chains, or shackles, to spreader bars, St. Andrew's Cross, stocks, etc. Not so much the rope bits, or any of the more complicated rigs


If you've read this far, I commend your patience and thank you for your time!

Thanks again for the xstoryplayers team for a game with so much potential. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for your summary,

Most elements you mention are features we are working on.

Version 2.2 will mostly be dedicated to improving the character responses, which covers a lot of your feature requests.

The continuity is also something we are working on as can be seen in this post.

Thanks for the quick reply! And for the shimmy on the upcoming 2.2. As I've said before, I'm looking forward to it and can't wait to see what you've done with the game


One FINAL feature I have to mention that HAS been mentioned before, but I feel is important to the growth of the game moving forward (soon as we get other more important things under control, such as the control scheme for sexplay, continued work on mucus/cum wires and fluid physics, clothing physics, girl reactions, and general animations):

A male body

Specifically, of course, the player character's male body. I'm not saying we move away from First Person, but I think you're going to need to add a body sooner rather than later. People will want cowgirl and reverse cowgirl, for instance, maybe not now but certainly very very soon. I think anyone who's been ridden before, or anyone who's even just watched POV porn, knows you can clearly see all the action. The problem is, seeing all the action involves seeing the male body. Hands, arms, torso, legs...pretty much all of it. And, I think that's just something we can't avoid.

This goes into the handjobs/titjobs/girl in control scenarios. We can keep first person if we had a body (thus allowing for a greater range of view with the camera).

Another feature involving having a Male Body that could really help the game is the ability to lift the girl at the hips, or to hold her legs a certain position. Think about it: right now, you can't kneel down between her legs while she's on her back. There's no missionary position. So, why not add hands that you CTRL+click on to her hips to pull her up and forward; the move/backward buttons will then transition to the hands in this CTRL state rather than on your body, so you're pulling her forward onto your cock as opposed to your body trying to fight the physics of the bed (especially the bed!) to get at her crotch.

Leaning forward, leaning back, all this stuff needs a male body. Not to mention those role reversal situations I'd love to see where for one night the girl ties you up and just goes crazy on you. Which is another thing I'd like to see at some point.

Oh, and one last thing: any plans on making clothing removal a tad bit easier? Right now it's a bit of a chore just dragging skirts down over her derriere, or down her legs, as they tend to cling and then snap back. Also, I wouldn't mind a tearing/ripping and cutting function to clothing removal at some point. But for now, I'd settle for 'a little easier to remove'.

I think every girl loving it in both holes needs to stay. But perhaps there could be a progression to that. Like when you say "I want to fuck your ass" and the girl gets in her anal position, she will say "Be gentle with my ass, please." Maybe that could be expanded. First, the "shaky penis" stuff when you're not at the perfect angle would have to be removed, and the penis would have to be given a less... floppy nature. Maybe when you first fuck a girl's ass, you can only get the head in. Then as you push in and pull out, you loosen her up more, and then you get farther in, and then you have to push in and pull out more to get past the next sphincter. It would also be good to hear sloshing sounds as you thrust inside her sphincters, but maybe that's part of the mucus update. Maybe when you just shove it in, the girl will cry a little and say "Ow!" and then say "It hurts, but it feels good too."
And I would also like to see more details in the asshole. Right now it's just a round pink opening. There are some nice gaping physics, though.



You can already sort of do that.

Whip: You can gently caress her breasts with it, and then give 'em a good smack, and the physics react accordingly, as does the audio.

Paddle: The faster you move the mouse, the harder you can spank her. Though you probably mean you want to see more of a reaction than what is already there.

Hey Obi!

RE: Anal Sex

While I do agree it needs to stay, you're kinda in-line with what I'm saying when you said that, maybe, some girls just aren't as into it at first and need to be, ahem, 'broken in'. But, what I'm really going for--and again, this is all within Story mode, not Fast Sex mode--is differentiation. I think if the girls each have their own distinct personality and preferences it will add variety to them during the story. And in a sex sim, personality largely comes from sexual preference. We already have the seed of it in Tiffany's naivete, and Samantha's submissiveness. But I think we can go a bit further. For instance, Jenna likes being peed on. But, if we pee at all on Tiffany she freaks out and leaves. Maybe Samantha likes anal sex, but absolutely cannot do DP to the point that she leaves. Something like that. Again, this is story mode. I know it's not a popular opinion, but I just feel like we can still add some character to the girls this way. Just my two cents! But again, I definitely think we can start with the 'progression' idea you had! I like it!

RE: Control

Yeah, I probably should have been paying more attention to all that before I started this thread. But I still would love to see more of a reaction from the girls when you do stuff like that to her. Hopefully we'll get parts of it by 2.2 and the rest as we move forward.

Thanks for the reply!
