Gameplay mechanics for aline and kassiah
🕑 Added 2020-12-19 12:03:59 +0000 UTCHi there,
Thanks for the polls. I've come with an idea mixing everything :
A system reminiscent of the chronicles of Leridia will be set up for Aline and Kassiah with two different functions.
It is a mechanism that worked well on Leridia: the Pure/ Deviant status.
For Aline, it will start in the Purity state and may degrade with the Phantasm software and the distribution of points.
Three barriers will block the system and virtual cores and skills will unblock it.
For this the skill tree has been revised.
The barrier of deviance below is the condition to unblock the status of Deviant for Aline and to reach more naughty skills.
This state will unblock situations, places or engagements with characters that she would not have made by being pure.
Thus, she unblocks herself via the software which will go as far as breaking her initial purity if you wish.
There is also an indecency barrier for the "Lewdness" part and "Sex Doll" for the "submission" part. These two barriers can only be unblocked if Aline has a Heart of Deviance (deviant barrier unblocked).
For Kassiah, it will also have the status Pure / Deviant possible and you can decide that it starts in one state or another. Debauchery points will be awarded according to her actions, ranging from 0 (Pure) to 100 (sexdoll) through deviant (50 and +).
Starting from a Pure Kassiah will have 0 debauchery points.
Starging from a Deviant Kassiah will have 50 debauchery points.
From 49 to 50 debauchery points you're switching to the Deviant status. Reaching 100 you'll reach the "Sex Doll Status".
The points can be readjusted for balancing if necessary. Starting from 0 points will need some grinding to reach 100 (mostly in repeatable h-scenes)
In terms of lore, Aline's software is more recent and PHANTASM can even reach its barriers directly through hacking.
For Kassiah, she has an older version, so she could stay pure until then or be deviant.
The Deviant status will bring traits that will be found in dialogues and actions just like the Pure status. It will also go for some events to different outfits and interesting interactions between Aline and Kassiah.
This gameplay is feasible and will require a lot of work, but it will still be possible, that's why I decided not to create a full-fledged skill tree for Kassiah because it would be too much work and could endanger the project by discouragement.
I speak with full knowledge of the facts after 5 years of work on Leridia and some bad directions in the past.
Please, tell me if I'm going in the right direction with that vision.
I'll post 3 more screens on my discord about traits and special status later this week and we can discuss there about this.

I like where youre aiming, the two systems mechanic sounds interesting really looking forward to see them functioning. It will be a plus for me, because it will feel like every character will have its own way of playing.

This whole system looks so interesting, I really want to see how it will turn out in when its complete. Can't wait for the next version to see more of your vision in action.
