Trance Progress - Writing Trainables
🕑 Added 2021-07-20 10:07:47 +0000 UTCIt's been a little while since my last update post, and progress so far has been good! The old Sluttiness system has been reworked entirely so that there is only a single "Sluttiness" stat, which stays where it is after it goes up or down. The mechanics for trances themselves have been implemented, meaning girls may now slip into a trance after they orgasm. The chance they enter a trance (or slide deeper into a trance) is based on their Suggestability. I am now working on the training part of the trance system, which is how you take that trance and turn it into long lasting effects for girls.
The core of the training system is a new class I've called Trainables. Trainables hold all of the information necessary to "train" a girl in some specific way. At it's simplest this is a Ren'py label that points towards the description and effects, plus a Clarity cost to be paid to select it. It's also possible to have Trainables that are hidden or locked based on other conditions. When a Trainable is selected it jumps to the appropriate label, which could be as simple as a direct mechanical effect, or it could be written up as an entire event by itself. The cost of a Trainable increases every time that training is picked rather than being based off of the current level of the stat/skill/opinion it controls. If you manage to put a girl into a deeper trance there is also a reduced cost for all Trainables.
In addition to the stat, skill, and opinion Trainables I had planned on including I have also included a "special" category. This is the catch-all bucket for Trainables I may add that don't have straight forward effects, as well as where Role specific Trainables are placed. Roles may be given a list of Trainables that are only available to people with that role, so people like Lily and Jennifer may have special Trainings added just for them in the future.
Right now I'm working on writing the short events triggered when you select a Trainable. For some, like work skills, this is only a couple of lines. Others, like increasing their Sluttiness or training their sex skills, are being given some more detail and a few branching options that give different effects. Plenty of work still to do, so I'm going to get back to it!

Vren, if you have cycles available, lily instapic after the first ask, from that point on Lily just Drops strips naked changes to doggy to grab the bag she is hiding from mom, then next crisis walk into room where she forgot the lock the door, she is about slamming the door on your face.

I don't think it's going to make it into the next version, but I am planning something like this. Girls with specific sets of opinions will have special training options to give them a unique role, which will unlock new actions with them. As a quick example, a girl with a love of creampies and a love of bareback sex may be trained to have a breeding fetish, which will let you have sex any time she isn't pregnant, and she'll be happy as long as you do it raw and cum inside her.

Yep, that's one of the main uses of it actually. You can strengthen or weaken existing opinions you know about, or inspire completely new opinions in girls. Right now it's mostly mechanical, but in the future there may be entire events attached to training certain opinions.

So i am having a bug. When Lily goes and gets her boobjob after the time is up it pops up with Jennifer instead talking about it but with Lily's name. And then Lily never ends up changing to the new size or acting like she has.

This would be a really good change.

It looks like a great change to the old temp sluttiness, but if we are going to focus on trainning especific likes and removing dislikes, and other trainables. it would be great if some type of combination would trigger an event or unlock some type of "fetish" that would be like a combo bonus for further trainning sessions. Just an idea, this change opens up a whole lot of opportunities to develop unique charaters, and events.

Are you gonna be able to use trainables to change likes/dislikes?
this is huge! a real game changer (pun intended). super excited to see this feature develop
This could be used in an event to give Stephanie more intelligence early on, so you don't have to use serum to reach the later tiers.
