Spiraling into Bimbodome

Merry Christmas, everyone! ^_^
Quick report before the holidays inevitably wreck my schedule. I did prepare the basics for the hypnotist content: The character has his little intro, the code is mostly in place, and we have 4 "special" little hypno scenes for the traits. Two of the traits are the good old "titty lover and "exhibitionist", but I added the code and description for "bimbo" and "masochist" as well. If you ever snooped around the debugging tool/area, you might have an idea of how the scene plays out, but here are a few screenshots for those who are unaware:



Of course, the spiral is animated in the game, and the text fades in and out, moves a bit, and all sorts of stuff to (hopefully) keep the short animation interesting.
The hypnotist will be a source of traits and stats, raising your intelligence or willpower (but getting the bimbo trait will limit your max intelligence, so it probably won't do you any good XD).
I have currently set the hypnotists to automatically give you a new trait each time, but maybe we want a random chance there, to avoid filling up all the traits after 4 sessions. I am thinking he won't really get any scenes of his own, since he will already unlock several of them with the traits (maybe just a simple scene, but not a series). Which reminds me, once I am 100% done with him, I'll have to start adding scenes for the new traits, so if you have suggestions for masochist/bimbo scenes, do share them, and if you can think of scenes already in the game that could benefit from a branch for having these traits, let me know as well.
I hope you'll enjoy your holidays, see you next week! ^_^

  1. So will this be in the next version you release? ^^ And does asking about scene ideas apply only to that tier for this?

    1. Everyone can pitch in, this is a new system, after all. I keep more control over this and make no promises (unlike with the scene high tier patrons can request, where I'd try my best to accomodate it unless it's really something I don't want in the game), but I'm willing to hear suggestions, makes it easier to add content. ^_^

  2. An interesting mechanic and I'm interested to see how it works in the game. One thing I'm curious about is will there only be one hypnotist, only be used to gain traits? Or will there be something more to them? Will they be a "character" or only a "mechanic"?

    1. I'd like to keep him more as a mechanic, since we already have several people who can mind-control you, and I don't have much of a background in mind for him. This will be more like a new way to have fun, although I might expand on him more depending on the feedback I get when he is released.

    2. I see. When I asked that question earlier, I had an idea pop into my head. I was thinking of something like a side quest or something where she goes to an hypnosis show or something run by a hypnotist, and she's chosen as one of the volunteers, and based on your willpowere, etc, etc, determines how many of the commands you follow, (She might follow something like "Be stiff as a board", but if she has enough stats, she'll resist the "strip down" command, or something.

      I also thought of maybe having a hypnotist maybe giving her a bunch of random trigger phrases, just to cause mischief or something, similar to the "dumb cunt trigger" you get from that one side quest, only these triggers could result in something just more "hypno-show"y, like acting like a mannequin, or a chicken or something.

    3. I think I'll keep most of his material "sexy-related". He'll be working from a tent inside the circus area, someone you'd expect to use cheap parlor tricks... Except that they work. He does private sessions only.

      I am considering adding some trigger words, but I don't want to overdo it. I'll see how things go after I add more content for the two new traits.
