I didn't do much technical work today. Instead I focused on writing the story and encounters for the initial release (in 12 days).
Sex
As with everything in this early stage of development, the sex mechanics outlined below may change before or after release.
How sex fits into the game
As I was writing this, I realised that I haven't talked about magic yet, so I'll make a post this week detailing how magic works in the game. For now, all you need to know is that Lilith's magic has saturated the world, and has caused everyone to have an extremely heightened libido. This constant background flow of demonic magic is commonly referred to as Lilith's lust. Whenever someone is weakened or exhausted, Lilith's lust seeps into their mind and body, causing them to become incredibly aroused. Within moments, it gets to the point where all they can think of is having sex, or, lacking a partner, masturbating right there on the spot.
This relates to game-play, as if you are victorious in combat, your opponent will be overcome with Lilith's lust, and you can choose to have dominant or submissive sex with your defeated opponent. On the flip side, if you are defeated in combat, your opponent may (and usually will) decide to have dominant sex with you. You can also engage in sex scenes with recurring characters once you've built up enough trust with them.
How it works
Sex scenes in Lilith's Throne, much like combat, are turn based, with a list of actions you can take each turn. One person will take the role of the dom, and the other will be the sub. You usually start sex with both you and your partner standing, and can move into different positions over the course of having sex. The dominant partner can choose to give the sub freedom to use their own initiative, or forbid them from moving into positions on their own, allowing the dominant partner to have complete control over how sex plays out.
Each action you can take will increase both your and your partner's arousal by a certain amount. For example, kissing your partner will increase the arousal of both of you by a small amount, whereas fingering your partner will increase their arousal by a medium amount, and yours by a small amount. When arousal reaches 100, that person will orgasm. Sex will only end once the dominant partner has reached orgasm (perks to be added in the future will allow you to orgasm multiple times before ending sex).
Once sex has ended, the submissive partner will gain corruption from Lilith's lust, the amount of which depends on how many times they orgasmed. The dominant partner can choose to let Lilith's lust reward them, increasing the value of a random attribute, but if they do, they will also gain a small amount of corruption.
The week ahead
I want to get everything finished for version 0.1.0 release by the end of this week, leaving me with 5 days to polish content and fix unexpected bugs.
