i m gathering suggestions to rework dating system in my mod

Hello, so as mentioned in topic i started to have more insane ideas and now wanna do dating system enjoyable and fun/at least more dynamic

idea is to increase slave stats dynamicly with actions such as chat, flirt, kiss (wit/charm/courage/confidence)

reducing stress with hugs

add new options and tooltips for them (currently can think only about something like "honest talk - "You told to name how your situation looks like and what you expect from him/her"

unlock limiter for dates with 1 person (or allow player to use 2 action points for long date -25 base actions instead of 10)

extending actions in date by 1-2 if your partner like some action and it was used first time in date

and taking into consideration many traits and other parameters of slaves, for example:

Devoted/Submissive/Dominant/Spoiled person could appreciatte praises more than others

 stressed person could yell at player under some conditions or play a victim :D (depends on courage/fear levels - this are raw ideas)

Goal is to made dating more encouraging and less like teaching sessions (i dont think about nerfing teach option,  just trying to made other options rewarding)


What would i like to have from this topic? (i m working on it anyway, just could use some ideas):

any ideas about dates or feedback about current dating system from other players

thinks you would like to see in dating mod :)

ideas for responses from characters after interactions

anything you like/don't like about current dating system


Thanks in advance

Dating responses/effects based on character traits would be nice to have.

What I'd really like to see though would be combat training outside of the dating system. At the moment, to teach someone a combat skill you need to do a million clicks in the dating system to get the training points. Dating can be more interesting once it is just used for dating.

Thanks for your suggestion, but i m affraid rebuilding whole character progressing system might be a bit out of my reach

as i said dating is my goal.

true teaching might not be integrated part of date, but you never know what can you learn from other person :D

it could be doable to bind teaching points to work or level up, instead of dating system, but i dont see teaching that bad

once you know how to squize juice out of date, you could get up to 200 points in vanilla 15 (10+garden) actions

+ you dont need to know every combat skill, simply take ones you want to use

i partialy adressed your suggestion and wanna include learning points gain at work and leveling up redesign

for now i created small tweak thats rewards player's slaves with learning points when they level up

UPDATE

maybe i ll be more specific, reactions in 1st strive are body language and gestures (descriptions for what slave could made)

this are actions i m trying to cover:

Chat - already done

intimate chat (flirt) - already done

touch - done, but could use some ideas

hold hands - currently stuck (need itdeas)

combhair

kiss (got few ideas there)

and so on :D


currently considering as sense of personality:

Devoted Submissive Dominant Spoiled Responsive Coward Masochist sex-crazed pervert  blemished 

checks for lewdness, loyality, obedience, courage, confidence, stress

numbers of times action was used, action that was used before, check for unlocked intimacy


wonder about using:

Clingy, ascetic, pretty voice, Foul mouth. natural beuty, uncivilized, clever

checks for lust, level, charm, enlonged tongue


its open topic and this thing is rl hard to perform so any feedback is welcome

Clingy, ascetic, pretty voice, Foul mouth. natural beuty, uncivilized, clever - yeah use most of those if you can. Uncivilized might prohibit the street location or use of tea.

Checks for lewdness, loyality, obedience, courage, confidence, stress - it would be best if you make the responses change based on values used elsewhere in the game. For example, give a different response when a slave has high enough obedience to meet a guild quest.

This may make me sound like an asshole, so I apologize in advance. Right now Strive is Aric. I would suggest any modder to think this way.

I really like Changing the date system, and can in theory fit really well in with Arics fetish system. I know that its not fully implemented yet, but some frame work has been done, giving a base.

example being kiss, hug, intimate talk could be boosted by relatives through the incest fetish.
On top of that, it potentially opens up more possibilities for more interactions later down the line. Also laying a base could potentially allow you, or someone else in the case of you burning out, to pick up where you left off (given your fine with that).

Long story short, I believe Strive suffers most from lack of complexity. The more options you have, or the more systems that interact with one another the more complex it becomes. I'm all for this mod, rather it ever ties in with the fetish system or not. Looking forward to it.


P.s. no offense to the dev or any mod author.

i m affraid, i m not big fan of Aric's expansion, i like all works and effort he puts into his mod, all feedback he gets and how frequently hes updating it, just don't like the changes

for me Strive is sandbox game full of freedom with character progression system and sex+slavery. i like the game for being complex enough to show me own charm, not like this grinding games where you skip time till you finaly can have something done or renpy games where you hold shift to skip walls of texts waiting for boobs or gameplay...

in Strive my freedom is priority, ofc some options rewards a bit more than others, but less rewarding options can still have rl interesting results and be usefull, i can made lady as i want her without limitations of class or having penalities bcs her boobies are too big or bcs i use her every night...She can adapt to my needs and be my companion at night and days :)

i m not asking my own slaves for any permissions besides one to take our date to the bedroom, which is nice bonus, not strange forced pregnacy or incest fetish or walking in chastity belt, i dont wanna throw meat to ppl who like that things, feel free to do yours 

i m modding Strive for power, even if i would try to made mod for Aric expansion 8.1, version 8.2 can ruin all my work and i ll be forced to redesign my whole mod... also i rl dont like changes in this and how everywhere they are, maybe not all of them (having different look for pregnant girl might be ok, even if i never made pregnacy last longer than 2 weeks)

i have few ideas for not fetishes, but sexual preferences (for future sex system changes - nothing big, just few more options and bonus if girl like specific races/eyes whatever i ll find as good idea and dont delete :D), but wasnt able to implement them yet and stacking ideas in my case is terrible, i need to focus on 1 big thing and than do another

my dating might work with Aric expansion, but that is not my goal, 

  • i wanna redesign character progression in dating and give some sense of personality (20 courage slave will have other reactions than 80 and so on)
  • actions other than "teach" will reward with stat changes if reaction will be possitive
  • actions that are not designed to have positive reaction might lead to interesting results (you can punish slave in middle of meeting if she was naughty or you didnt liked her behaviour)
  • chances to influence personality changes by using effect that was alvays there, but now its ignored mostly after sex system changes

and for this, there ideas burns out quickly so i created this topic :)

for example right now i m thinking about possible behaviours of your date for "hold hands"

one idea is to have possibility for clingy character if she have decent courage and strenght to prolong this action

another is to check mindage of person (game have such thing and its used in events) and made childish character to move hands together - however you call this Newtonish moves thats kids and old clocks might do sometimes

Sounds like absolute meaningless nothing i know :D, but when i ll have  6+ reactions for most actions  it might create more complex system

....my post might be a mess, but i hope its readable and i dint hurt anyone
