6/6 Status Update
🕑 Added 2025-06-07 00:16:35 +0000 UTCLast week I said that if I didn't come back talking about Naked Ambition and what I did that would be a bad sign. Well... I did do Naked Ambition stuff! I did some writing and it actually stuck for the first time in a while. I also did a lot of playing around with some ideas for mechanical improvements.
Before Naked Ambition went on hiatus, I changed a lot of the sex stuff to use a corruption system. That had proved to have some problems, such as not being able to have a Maria-Princess relationship while not making the Princess a huge slut, making pink cards useless, etc. I think that overall it has been a bit of a failed experiment. But the way that the system used to work was bad too, the whole point was to give the player more agency over if sex scenes happened or not. That is one of the fundamental flaws with the game in my opinion. The whole design of the base systems are based around reducing player agency and simulating it for the Princess. but not having agency in NSFW games sucks.
So I have a few ideas about how to improve that. They largely involve getting rid of the corruption system and decoupling all these systems from each other. Maria+Princess can be based on the love stat, random event scenes can go back to using pink cards, and trainer relationships can become more in line with the other relationships with heart points and such. I don't intend to change how building relationships with characters like Gales, Amelia, etc. work so that might as well be the baseline. There will still be a lot more scenes with trainers, but you'll trigger them by activating heart points at set intervals instead of them pestering you with a check every week. This also solves one of the original problems of being able to miss late scenes by randomly failing a few checks.
As far as what I wrote, it was end game crisis stuff. What's really left to do besides rewrites and reworks is the three end game crisis events with variants for how well/badly the Princess does in them, the final sex scenes with the Princess's romantic interest, the festival of flowers and the vote, and the endings. The endings will be little epilogues that have a piece of art and say what the Princess ended up doing with her life. It's a good amount of content, but it's reasonable.
As far as other games go, I wrote some Netoria 2 stuff and worked on the last levels a little bit. Art for the femboy Carwyn update continues to come in but I haven't really written much for it yet. After getting all the Sunny stuff done I want to take a little bit of break and I have about two months because of the publisher timeline and I really only need one. As far as the preview art goes...
It's Kobold Joe! This is supposed to be a hotdogging scene, but the character artist hasn't finished designing Joe's dick yet. Man, that is a weird thing to type. I don't think the audience for scaly reptile men fucking femboys really overlaps with mine much, but why not put it in. When am I ever going to get to write something like this again? Variety helps with creativity after all.
That's all for this week. As always, thank you for your continued support.

Yeah, Act 1 is still coming out in October. I could release it earlier pretty easily but the publisher wants it to come out then.
