Development Update - The Upcoming Punishment System (Patreon)

Hi guys,

In this development update I'd like to give a preview and explanation of the upcoming punishment mini-game, as shown in the picture above.

As you’ve seen in the demo the basic concept is that you must cause the girls Pain, Pleasure and Humiliation. You can order the girl into a number of different positions, with each position having a number of different actions. Each position / action will award points for Pain, Pleasure or Humiliation (or some combination of the three). To level up the girls you will need to max out all three statistics. However, you will only be able to take a limited number of actions per punishment so this will mean you need to find the right combination of the available positions / actions to level up the girl. As each girl has different weaknesses (such as Amy’s masochism or Debbie’s crush on Miss Newman) a different combination of positions / actions may be needed each time.

As you can see in the picture we've redesigned the punishment user interface (PUI) to give it a better look that's more consistent with the rest of the game’s UI. I've also added in some new features. Starting from the top of the PUI we have the characters name, Debbie, and her level. Assuming you picked up the ruler in the intro, Debbie should be at level 2. Click on the character's name to bring up their bio. Next to that we have the number of action points remaining in the punishment. Next to this is the restart punishment button. This allows you to reset the punishment so you get your action points back. Next to this is an infinity symbol. This activates "free play mode" where you can take as many actions as you like. However, in free play mode you can't level up the girls and this will just be for messing around. You will then need to reset the punishment to end free play mode. In the far top right is a button to minimise the PUI so it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of the animations or scenes as shown below:

Moving down we then have the options for how much clothing the girl should remove. This will be controlled by introducing new rules at the school board. This will have a big impact of your humiliation score. Stripping is humiliating for the girls but some actions (for example taking pictures) will also give a bonus to humiliation if the girl is undressed. It will also have some impact on your pain scores. For example, spankings will provide additional points of pain when applied to a bare bottom. All this means is that progressing with the story and completing quests for the school board will be essential for making progress at levelling up the girls.

Further down we have the choice of disciplinarian. At the start of the game you will be limited to just Sally. You will need to convince the school board to let you punish the girls yourself and that is something you will be working towards in the next update. You may notice that there is space in that row for more disciplinarians. Perhaps we will be making use of that at some stage.

Beneath this we then have the choice of positions. Your starting position are Hands on Head, Over the Desk and Over the Knee. New positions will unlock as you level up the girls.

Beneath this we have the available actions. I'll try to include as many as I can in the next update. However, they will still be limited at this stage. I've also finally gotten around to making a proper online shop and this will be the main way to obtain new items to use in punishments. However, some actions will also be unlocked by completing side quests. 

So that's what we've been working over the last few weeks. It's looking good and everything seems to be working well. I think you guys will enjoy it. The only problem is it has taken a lot of time to put together. I ended up having to re-code pretty much the whole thing from scratch, plus all of Debbie's old animations are having to be redone (they were not up to the same standard as my other recent ones). It’s possible I might have a beta version ready for the 15th June, as I had planned, however I think it’s more likely that I will have to push the release back at least a week. I want to make some significant progress with this update and I hope that you guys will be patient with us.
