I thought it would be cool to have a place where people could talk about what they would like to see in the game. Strive for power has so much potential! :)

I'm not expecting Maverik to read any of these (there's probably enough to do already) it's just for fun.

My favorite feature is being able to download and pick your own slave portraits. So id like to see the same thing applied to the written sex scenes. So you can add new ones yourself. Even if you're not personally a great writer, I'm sure others could post their stuff for you to download.

EDIT: 260ish days later and this is now possible, with the new sex and mod system! It seems very complex, especially with transitioning scenes like the main four sex positions, but where there's a will...

(+4)(-1)

Old sex system is getting replaced with new one (as of 5.3.x versions). Written detailed scenes will probably only stick to one time scenes with unique characters.

(+1)

Had a chance to play with the new system last night, it's great! "Buy to Backpack" too.

Keep up the good work :)

(+2)

Toxicity could use some real love. I think it's a great system overall, but so much of it is hidden.

  • If there was flavor text in the Inspect window, that would be great.
  • It would be double cool if having a Nurse and a Headgirl meant it was shown in the Slave Spreadsheet.
  • It would be triple cool if a Nurse helped reduce Toxicity, or lessened the side effects (either probability or outcome)

Yeah that would be great. I cast mindread enough as it is! Maybe make it Lab Assistant that can reduce everyone's toxicity at the end of the day though. Then you have a reason to keep them there, instead of changing that slaves job at the end of the day. A minor reason at least.

I think it would be a fair balance if slaves that you used in a fight were forced to Rest for that day. It's really cool that combat slaves can have day jobs, but right now there's no real trade-off for using them to fight other than waiting for them to heal - and with a good Nurse that's a short wait. 

It feels like a bit of a letdown that none of the sex jobs gain any benefit from any traits other than Sex-Crazed. You'd think that they'd provide a small benefit. They already provide a non-job benefit, though, so it doesn't seem like a big deal either way.

It seems like a missed opportunity that Taurus females don't have one extra set of nipples.

(1 edit)

It seems like Research Subject should gain the same kind of racial bonuses that slave prices do. It would make sense that the more exotic slaves are worth more for research.

It seems like it would be appropriate for Sedation to apply a penalty to job earnings or efficiency. Right now you can sex someone up, Invigorate until they're totally stressed, Sedate them back to normal then send them off to work with no real side effects. It would make the other stress relievers more relatively useful, too.

(1 edit)

It's really confusing that the "elven warriors" in the Elven Grove aren't all elves - in fact, it's the only way to find Tanuki. Maybe "defenders of Amberguard" would be better?

I'd like to suggest different and more ways to earn house upgrade points. 

I can see where you're coming from. I do think it's neat that you don't have to actually do any slave-taking in order to earn them - you can just wheel and deal somewhat. I'm not sure what to suggest as a substitute, though.

It would be terrific if slaves got unequipped when they were sold. Can't tell you how many handcuffs I've lost...

Haha yep.

(+2)

You don't really lose equipment from slave sells anymore, but you have to click 'inventory' at mansion to get that gear back before you can equip it on someone else.

Good to know, thank you!

I would also like to suggest or ask that the ratio of male and female characters be a little more even, so far any slaves i have had have given birth to girls, and male npc's or characters seem to be minimal. 

(+1)

You can change the ratio in the game's settings. It defaults to 10% male but it's adjustable.

I think it would be reasonable for having 0 energy to give a penalty to Awareness. Right now, as long as you have a good scout, you can go anywhere with no energy without any drawbacks, and I think having to mind and manage energy (rest breaks & supplies, Invigorate, etc) is a really good dynamic.

(+1)

It would be neat if the sexuals included fisting. For all the other kinks that are in the game, I'm surprised that it isn't in there (at least as of v0.5.3.1d).

It would be really terrific if the player got (4 - level) XP. Those first few stat points are important, and it's easy to place them badly, but since the PC only can get XP by combat, it can really cripple you out the gate. OTOH, you can always throw a slave in the library to knock out those first few levels in a jiffy.
If that's intentional and thematic, I'm down - the idea of a slavemaster being carried by their slaves in the early game is pretty cool, too. But I think this is a good idea, since it would only help a little, and only for the first three levels.

(+1)

My first character (random) had abysmal max stats, so relied heavily on his slaves in combat. It was cool. Having a re-spec option would be helpful though. Maybe as a service from the mages guild? For slaves it could be in the lab or something.

(+1)

It would be ridiculously cool if you could do an expensive lab procedure to steal the body of a slave.

  • Get their race, cosmetics, level and attributes
  • Keep your spells, reputation (though maybe lose a bit because it's monstrous, and people wouldn't recognize you)
  • Not sure which way would be appropriate for abilities to go, or tattoos.

It's unlikely to be overpowered because it would be expensive and require a level 2 lab - by the time you could afford that and the procedures, you probably have played for quite a while, whether fighting or earning.

(+2)

A minor thing, but it would be nice to be able to add a goo tail (and goo wings?) to a goo girl, and it would also be nice to have the ability to penetrate a goo girl in a nontraditional location as a fetish action.  It seems the point of a goo girl is that they can get freaked than those with traditional body plans.

I love this idea!

It would be amazing if every race had an exclusive sex action in the new system. Would make catching each race even more rewarding.

(+2)

It would be great if you could disable a sex move, so that you couldn't accidentally click it and your slave couldn't request it.

seconded!

(+2)

So glad this thread took off, its awesome hearing everyone's suggestions :)

Ok, new ideas!

Having a vasectomy/neuter "Service for slaves", so female PCs don't continually get knocked up.

A new role in the farm, Stud. For 'alternate' milking :P  Efficiency could be based off ball size and/or grade. Not sure about the morals in feeding the produce to your slaves, but that's for the farm manager to worry about.

Any effects caused by mutation should be available as a laboratory procedure. Fun as it is having a freaky mutant studying in the library just because i was determined to give her blue eyes.

Since we're talking about a relatively low-tech setting, would it be the right move to just castrate then? In that case, the system could just check to make sure they actually have balls before checking pregnancy. 


Since sterilization is damaging and traumatic, and abortion is either that or toxic, it seem appropriate.

Hmmm, you make a good point about it not really fitting with the vibe of the game. Maybe if the sterilize service worked on males. The details aren't mentioned (thankfully) so its not gonna to seem that out of context.

If castration killed sex drive and got rid of perks like sex crazed, that would be an interesting mechanic.

Good thoughts. I think we definitely run into "game" vs "simulation" at that point.

On on hand, Sterilize doesn't cause any long-term problems for females to date, so it would be odd balance-wise to have it cause long-term effects for males.

OTOH, the whole idea is "no preggo", so just making it a mirror to the females' Sterilize is conceptually sound.

I was just suggesting a way to fit it into theme, but you're right, IRL that carries some long-term consequences, so I'm not sure it's the right idea.

(1 edit) (+3)

i was looking for somewhere to post a suggestion so here it goes.

my own suggestion would be family rooms (private room upgrade)

as it currently stands each new slave you obtain through intimacy shows in their relatives tab who their mother, father, brother(s)/sister(s), and children are but options for housing them are community room, private room, jail, or your bed. my suggestion is to add an upgrade option to private rooms that allows them to hold 2-5 slaves given they are related (parents, grandparents, and children).

maybe this could be a way to reduce stress and lust or build obedience and loyalty if family members stay within the same room as opposed to splitting them up.

Suggestion: It would be really neat if a combat victory (maybe under the same conditions that add Courage?) adds just a little bit of dominance. It makes sense, and it adds an element of "having to keep your strong slaves in line" that I think would be great for the game.

(+1)

Suggestion: neither Maple nor Yris come into your mansion with sexuals unlocked, even though the events leading up to that have a few different acts each. It would make a lot of sense if they came with a few groups unlocked that match with the scenes.

Cali too. After that intimate heartwarming scene from recruiting her, you still have to propose intimate relationship. 

(1 edit) (+2)

items with similar effect as the no masturbation rule would be interesting since I don't brand the story related characters.
The handcuffs could do that or a chastity belt. Hard to masturbate with hands bound behind one's back^^

Great idea! If there was a chastity belt (for No Masturbation) and a ball gag (for Enforced Silence), then you'd have options.


On a related note, I was pretty surprised when I was poking through the code and noticed that the Pet Suit and Pet Behavior did different, though similar, effects. I can see argument on both sides of that, though, and since Pet Behavior doesn't gate anything like No Masturbation does, it doesn't seem unreasonable.

Suggestion: 

Something similar to Free cities' New Game+ feature that lets you carry over 3-4 slaves from an old save. Doesn't have to keep levels skills, etc, just stuff like name, beauty, hair/eye color/ custom descriptions and stuff. I tend to get attached to characters, and this would help mitigate any major changes that renders old saves buggy. 

As an extension but not completely necessary, would be nice to have a system like xcom, where you can add some custom characters into a pool, and make them randomly appear as enemies/in the slave market or something. 

I know it's a really small (if not insignificant) thing, but it really bugs a part of me that the only way to permanently improve base beauty is the procedure at the laboratory. I wouldn't mind having a basic process to improving the stat similar to the mental stats that takes time and money while the lab procedure is the one time here and now boost.

I'm gonna level with you - I actually really like how the beauty mechanics play out. You have the lab procedure, or beauty potions (which last a long time) or clothing to affect it, so there's quite a bit of flexibility. But the fact that Beauty can only be changed to a point makes higher grade captures that much more valuable, because grade is what determines the base beauty. It doesn't matter if you're going to bust them down to Slave grade - if Beauty is important, you'll probably want to catch a Noble.


I get where you're coming from - so much else is malleable, and it's frustrating to be left to RNG for something that's sometimes critically important (I'm looking at you, Sweet Voiced Nereid). But in a way, I kinda like it.

It would be awesome to have the option to possess more that one Penis on your Character / Slave so you can have sex with more than one slave at a time but that probably would need alot more programming but what do I know of making games ? (nothing - that's what I know)

Hello Dev-Team, Roxy Emerald Here, From F-list. 
Not the best way to introduce myself, But might as well come out strong as a pervert, I mean, This game. Wow.


Great game, Really. it's awesome.

If it's allowed, I'd like To suggest a few things, please bare with me, I've only played sandbox, (I find the freedom of such in these kind's of games More enjoyable, and by no mean's do I intend to insult your work by doing so)

Anyway, first thing's first.

1. Names, yes. names! 

While there is no flaw in the name's of slaves and such, the amount of names, exclusive to slaves as well is very impressive. 

Please let use Rename our slaves, preferably with use of the lab, or maybe branding. while it's fun playing with generated names,

2. New Species (Mousekin)

Mice. No, for real. Mice are awesome! the big balls that the male's have, and the speedy time it takes for the females to give birth!

for example, Mousekin would have a trait that halves the time required for giving birth (if female) and a higher chance to impregnate (if male)

They wouldn't be very strong, so str would be 1 to 2 max, but would make up for it in agility, while their magic affinity is somewhere between

3. the value of Virginity

I'd pay more for a slave that hasn't been passed around beforehand, that's for sure. there has got to be more benefit's for keeping your slave's pure...

4. Collars

I'm actually slightly disappointed that these aren't in the game, Collars in tiers (as in, regular slave collars, as well as other collars that act as "equitable Traits" (oops)


...that's all, Im not sure people even go here and read these threads anymore, Hopefully I reach someone, thanks for the time!

You can change a slave's name if you feed them an amnesia potion, and virgins do cost 20% more (https://itch.io/post/431879).

I'm all for adding mousekin though. I mean, look at that cuteness: https://twitter.com/Uleezoo/status/877857049039716352?s=20).

Mousekin (and other new races) might be possible once modding is better implemented in the game and coders start making custom content. I'm sure a lot of other furries are going to go nuts adding their favorite species. And I can't wait to have dragonkin with knotted, ridged cocks! XD

(5 edits)

yeah! Imagine this, a new town implemented, sound's boring right? Let's give it some detail then.
somewhere in the world lies a town run by mice, and rodent-kin species, this, anthro-kin slaves are not bought here.
on top of that, this town hold's the resistance, an underground organisation dedicated to liberating anthro-kin slaves, in other words, if a slave's obedience and loyalty isnt high enough and you are in this town, a random even will sometimes occur where you loose a slave of anthro-kin species.

Edit: Glad to see this thread isnt dead!


Edit 2: it'd be cool if slaves had species exclusive skills.

edit 3, this is getting out of hand... please help me...: I think relationship status's would be nice too, Like, perhaps the ability to marry slaves, not just to you, but make slaves form relationships with each other, giving them a unique trait, that helps them in battle, be it a exp boost, defense boost, or whatever when they are with their 'significant other'

"edit 3" hahaa. Immediately thought of fb status 'It's Complicated'. But yeah, I've been craving that too. So far a gold ring and changing what the slave calls you to Hubby/betrothed instead of Master, is just amusing enough.

Relations between slaves is in the most recent update (I think), hopefully with more on the horizon. So seeing that expanded into marriage etc..... I mean it could happen :)

Rendrassa "Mousekin (and other new races) might be possible once modding is better implemented" don't get my hopes up! Hahaa. I'd totally mod in a Mimic girl/guy, if I knew how. What with new chest rarity coming to the game, it fits. Don't know what their race ability would be, increased max carry weight?

(If Mousekin are shortstacks, I'd love to go to a miniature rodent village! Could add in text that you crawl through the shop doorway and stoop while bartering)

(1 edit)

we have futa's what about the other genders? I edited a save to make one of my slave's a cuntboy lol...


PS, also, nice work on the art packs, how you gonna add the slime queen, and forget the three other of the four heavenly knights?


(2 edits)

Heheh, cute, edited scoundrel on too lol.

I only realized this experimenting after reading your post, but you can make cuntboys in the lab. No save editing required.

You should do a cuntboy art pack! (not a sentence I expected to be typing today).


PS, Thankyou. I didn't add the slime queen. But I am amassing Dragonkin pics for a portrait pack soooo.... 2/4 knights ain't bad :)

(3 edits)

your better at it than me, I have issues with Transparent backgrounds, as in, the making of, without the characters not blending well...

Also, here's my starting slave :3



My biggest issue using the image packs (or images in general as new slave = random, the only option you have to organised this is species, having male's spawn with female pics is a bit annoying...   if there were more 'keywords' that the console used to sort images "male" "female" as well, besides the species, it would potentially fix this...

edit: you also have alice!


edit 2: OMG, I'd love to have granborea!

(1 edit)

Beh, transparency isn't essential. Most of mine don't have it. You're right though, it is a pain to do. Though without is easy, case and point https://mega.nz/#!rOpREIJC!WwmPdmgmXe-PaFaXN4-hJdUE_ggw3J9N9UWu-Gw7Wfo

AK/Phantom made a script that auto assigns portraits by gender. But Ive never been able to get it to work. Always figured once there are enough male portraits/bodies out there to merit it being put in the main game, Maverik might do it.

Adorable starting slave btw

Here's a bodyguard Ive been working on.


thanks! I do actually enjoy adding pics, we should colab some time :P I got lots of pics.

I'm game.

Trying to add pictures for every race, gender, appearance etc is a daunting task alone. I'm happy to help with any portrait pack you have ideas for, time permitting.

(+1)

We already can modify the pregnancy duration, would be appreciated an option to modify maturing duration too.

(1 edit) (+1)

I agree that it would be a nice addition to the Constants within the main menu. If you want to change it now, the file is variables.gd (in Strive>files>scripts).

Change var growuptimechild, growuptimeteen, growuptimeadult to whatever amount of days you want.

It's a little game-breaking because of the unlimited amount of slaves and money you can make quickly. But good for testing. I like having a high pregnancy length and a low maturing length.

Thanks. Also agree with your times. As a magic procedure, i think 20 days is too much for maturing. You can even change it with potions on the game instantly

I have recently found this game and have been enjoying it. 

My suggestions:

Setting up separate XP scales in options for both PC and slaves so that you can change how much experience is needed to level up.  Thus for those who just want to rush through the story, they can set the experience to basically level every time they go into combat, and for those who want leveling to mean something, set the experience much higher so that it becomes a rare occurrence to actually level up.  This coupled with the slaves dying in combat would make for a real challenge in the game.

Having the game set up a 3rd folder for body images for the intimacy/rape scenes.  Just as some of the named NPCs have different body pictures whether you are viewing them in the mansion or in the bedroom, a way to do the same with normal slaves.  And regarding the auto select portrait method, if there was no matching picture in the intimacy folder, to just fall back on the regular body picture.

An game option for when slaves work in a town where you are not situated (for example Slave Catcher in Gorn while your mansion is in Wimborn) the slaves have to pay the fee to use the portal back to the mansion.  This will provide an incentive to level the slaves until they are experienced enough (story wise) to provide a profit in the distant jobs away from immediate supervision.

You can change the amount of points gained by leveling up in the constants section of the main menu. So instead of 2 you get 10! Not quite the same as changing xp amounts, but it works.

A 3rd folder for intimacy pictures would be amazing! There are so many body pictures that are hot, but a bit much for everyday use on a slave working anywhere but a brothel. Gods of smut heed my prayers.

moved this topic to Bugs and Suggestions

 (Spoiler)
After Zoe requests resources to translate book,if I don't give them at once, there is no way to check later what I need to complete it.It would be good if requirements were under side quest.

A new $5 backer reward "Magic strapon". While equipped by the player character as underwear, they are considered to have a fully functioning penis. So female PCs can unlock the one off scenes with Emily etc, without having to change gender in the lab.

I'd love all the one off scenes to be reworked to cater for female players. But changing every one of those pictures as well as rewriting the scenes... it's most likely too much of an ask.

(Checking over the older suggestions in this thread, it's encouraging how many made it into the game.)

It would be nice to get a trait for the main char, and by trait i mean things like pretty voice or strong, heck you could even make unique traits that only apply to the MC. 

I put some suggestions into the other suggestion thread a few days ago and I have a few more now.

Supplies should be in the same inventory tab as rope, torches, lockpicks, and all the other standard backpack supplies. There's no point having tabs to separate the items that are moved together.

If you cancel a sex interaction before taking any actions it would be nice if it didn't consume the interaction (and prevent a meeting with the slave too).

To train a combat skill on a slave you need to meet with the slave and do lots and lots of actions to get TP then spend them. It's laborious and not how you would design combat training if the meeting system wasn't already in the game! I'd suggest having a training option along with meet, sex, and abuse. Consume one interaction to train a basic skill, two to train a complex skill, take the relevant money, give the slave some stress, all in just a couple of clicks. 

The control screen when travelling has quite an unintuitive design and you seem to need a lot of clicks in different places to do something simple, like heal a person twice. I'd put guidance as on option on the main travelling screen. I'd make the control screen look similar to the main mansion screen with options on the left and a list of slaves on the right. Just display the items+spells in one list together and the slaves+captures in one list together.

perhaps a way to access adya (gorn alchemy shop) in sandbox mode?

Didn't that get added recently. I'm not 100% but... feel like it was in one lot of patch notes or another.

Elixir of regression is a must have! In any mode.

really? how? I'm playing a public patch btw...

(1 edit)

MB, I miss-read the patch notes. Think it might have done the opposite "Fixed some inconsistencies to sandbox mode allowing access to Adya and recruiting some other characters"

If you open the outside.gd from the scripts folder. You can add The Elixer to the gorn market shop.
Once in the file Ctrl+F 'regressionpot', then copy paste it into the gorn stores item list and save.

it worked! thanks!

(1 edit)

I think it would be cool if slaves on the 'cooking' job gave you a item at the end of the day, much like how you get food and gold from workers.

Bento, A healing item (in desc it would say which slave made it, and the healing amount would be determined on the Cook's obedience and loyalty

(1 edit)

Topic: Magic/Mana Usage Of slaves

I think If slave's had their own pool of mana instead of the whole party Syphing the master's mana (is that what they do, if slave's use a magic skill, their somehow using the PC's magic?)

Like, MP based on orgasm, instead of one instance, like energy slaves would have their own mp

Recovered through sex, or something.

(1 edit)

Can there please be a button to redraw the enemies on the battle screen, just to deal with battles against more than 10 enemies when a number of them are not seen on screen.

Could slaves please be unassigned from jobs when they are made unavailable for a few days. This is mainly because it prevents you assigning another slave to a unique post while they are gone.
