>Anon's correction of 9mm Parabellum (a compact, effective and inexpensive pistol cartridge) to .45 ACP (a chubby, slow, and overrated relic) in one scene was not made, because Anon is wrong.
Still funny.
I'll admit though, the 9mm surprised me too. It's not surprising that people might still be using that cartridge 20 years from now, because they will. But given all the power suits and security droids running around, you'd expect a bodyguard might have something a little more...futuristic.

In every thread on every topic we hope for this, and in every thread on every topic we are disappointed. But thank you for trying.
Is there a difference between difficulties in FC beyond starting slaves/cash?
>>6574616
I was thinking about "starting options" and completely forgot that there was a separate difficulty setting. Never mind.
> Alina is very tall and a healthy weight.

This new release seems to have upped the difficulty to the point where I'm going bankrupt incredibly easily
>>6574642
You could always cheat. It's really easy to changed how much money you make in this game.
>She doesn't get a hardon as you use her, but she comes from the prostate stimulation when her beloved Master uses her butt.
Aww. I almost regret gelding her for not being highly intelligent.
Almost.
Whoring doesn't seem quite as profitable in this latest version of FreeCities as it was in the last. Is gloryhole more cost effective with the new release?
>>6574650
Using Cheat Engine or something?

ONE JOB FCDEV
Choosing her own clothes is still bugged. What the hell. Is it really such a difficult bug to eradicate?
Minor proofreading error in a nickname event, FCdev.
Man all that arguing in the last thread makes me reconsider what I've done thus far. If people are going to be that upset about content, it is disheartening.
I've been working on a text-based high-fantasy MUD with MMO elements where a good deal close to everything requires sexual activity:
Harvesting resources? Sexual encounter.
Crafting items? Sexual encounter.
Fighting? JK, sexual encounter. Societal structure is closer to that of bonobo than chimps.
Skilling up? Ok, ok -- simply requires time to level up a skill, even when you aren't playing (see: EvE Online).
Planned features include procedurally generated NPCs for characters to interact as they please, world events to participate in, clothing/modesty system, hunger/thirst system, public API for other people to make clients, etc.
Currently the core engine "simulates" 11 body part types, open to more, which leads to all sorts of possible new/crazy content I haven't really seen "traditionally" (eg in my 5+ years lurking /d/). Unfortunately, still working in infrastructure-land.
Part of me wishes I hadn't gone the multiplayer route -- development gets much more complicated -- and instead done something like interactive fiction in Inform7.
>Went into this hoping for a quick wank
>Ended up spending hours trying to accumulate obscene amounts of wealth so I can enslave that rival arcology owner.
>>6574792
But MUDs are so much more fun than single player games
>>6574802
The player-to-player interactions can be a blessing and a curse. Awesome players will bring the blessings and jerks will make my (and others') life hell. Part of me wants to make it a free-trial/subscription model to incentivize people to stick around and not troll/be jerks, and keep the in-game community smaller and higher impact to really maximize P2P interaction.
>>6574792
>If people are going to be that upset about content, it is disheartening.
If you can't deal with people wanting you to add things to your game -- either by doing everything they want, or by ignoring them -- then you should quit now.
>MUD with MMO elements
>doom clone with first-person elements
>everything requires sexual activity
Are players going to have to do this with other players? Are you targeting the ho-mo-sex-u-al market?
Multiplayer is hard to get started. The first person to buy a phone can't call anybody.
>>6574813
You want to charge money? ... good luck
>>6574813
If you want to do a subscription thing, you better be the best MUD around. Online text based games don't exactly have massive player-bases, even less for sex based ones.
>>6574818
>If you can't deal with people wanting you to add things to your game -- either by doing everything they want, or by ignoring them -- then you should quit now.
For the guy doing an MMO, it might be easier for him because all he has to do is ignore it and no one can really mod his game. The people who wanted something added will just leave eventually once they realize they're not getting it. But the guy would potentially lose a part of his player base if he did that.
On the other hand, with a single player game, he can choose to ignore it, but he has to be realistic about whether people will add in stuff he doesn't want. Once it's released, it's really out of his hands. There will be content he never wanted in the game, whether he likes it or not.
>>6574798
Hopefully you have 2-3 prestigious slaves by now.
Sell them to get the rival.
>>6574818
> Are players going to have to do this with other players?
Have to? No. Possible to? Yes.
> Are you targeting the ho-mo-sex-u-al market?
I'm not targeting anything at the moment.

> If you want to do a subscription thing, you better be the best MUD around. Online text based games don't exactly have massive player-bases, even less for sex based ones.
Not sure what "best MUD around" I would be competing against -- but I don't want to put any emphasis on the money thing. A large part of me really wants to leave it free to play. It's easier on me, on players, on everything in between.
>>6574839
>Not sure what "best MUD around" I would be competing against
There are a lot of them that are really good, a few of them with sexual stuff in them.
There are also about a hundred that are completely dead, so be aware of that too.
>>6574839
>Not sure what "best MUD around" I would be competing against
WoW, FF14, etc. If you're serious about going commercial, get ready to hire a payment service (paypal, that "swipe" thing?). You do not want to roll your own, and the liability when you get everything wrong will end you.
>>6574842
If "completely dead" includes "now offline" I would say tens of thousands.
Shit, it looks like Lambda is still going after 25 years. God I feel old.

>>6574846
> You do not want to roll your own, and the liability when you get everything wrong will end you.
Definitely agree with you there. Dealing with money sucks even when it is "going right" -- chargebacks, fake CCs, etc. It's not worth it.
Since it seems relevant, I should ask, any particular mechanics people would want to see in a /d/ themed MUD?
>>6574856
Singleplayer.
>>6574856

Semen physics. I want to be able to cum so much that it flows into the next room, stuff like that.

>>6574856
Chargebacks and liability, nothing. As soon as money becomes involved, it attracts a species of asshat that believes it just bought the rights to your firstborn for five bucks, and will never let you or the rest of the player base forget it.
Dude, just do your research. MUX have been around long enough that the wheel has been reinvented dozens of times. Learn from other people's mistakes before you start writing a feature list.

Disgusting. At least her selling price was handsome.
>>6575157
You missed an opportunity there buddy. Set her to whore and roll in nearly 10k per week, every week, for the rest of the game.
>>6575164
Nah man. I couldn't play and fap knowing there was that "thing" in my game. Besides, her 280,000 selling price is more than enough to help me free sail through this game.
I'm surprised Free Cities allows for slaves to reach those kinds of physical attributes considering how FC Dev likes to keep a foot in realism.

FCdev is going to bitterly regret tying features to real-life science once every single feature request turns into a fifty-comment clusterfuck about the feasibility of medical advancement X.
As for that particular feature, I think slaves are interchangeable enough as it is. Don't want him to make it even worse.
So, anyone knows the 3 stats needed for each of the job supervisors in FC, I know it says it kinda describes it right there, but dunno, I like things explicit.
>>6575407
Here's what I've found:

>>6575401
Yeah, probably should have amended "and a function I want in the game" to "scientifically probable" earlier. That's usually kind of implied but FCDev is usually pretty good about the feature requests - people get attenuated to circumstances.
I'm moderately okay with the game now, but it's kind of undercuts the previous response to "why can't I put a dick on XX slaves?" of "nah, medicine can't do it". We'll see though, FCDev may never return to /dgg/ after the previous clusterfuck.

It's a worthless piece of shit that has barely anything sexual in it at all. It is incredibly linear and if you don't follow an optimal build/research order, you'll lose very early, but if you do, you can't possibly lose ever.
Unless you're 'too mean' or 'not mean enough', which are both completely arbitrary values and have very little warning when you're approaching them.
>>6575524
But what is it about? And why do people apparently think it is good?
>>6575532
Mindcontrol, latex, and hours of tedious micromanagement, and walking through your unergonomically designed base.
So Trapquest dev hit $4000+ a month on patreon and lied about the goal i.e. turn TQ into his full time job.
Would make more sense if he waited a bit to see how things went, but full on saying he's not not gonna give up his day job when that was specifically one of the goals? Guess its better then him lying to us.
>>6575547
>Trapquest dev hit $4000+ a month on patreon
jesus fucking fuck
>>6575550
To be fair, they usually only get around 70% of what Patreon claims.
>>6575515
Dollmistress' games are very 'simulation-ey'
Overseer is a game where you play a chick that gets mindfucked by a Big Sapphic Mind Control Conspiracy and tasked with building up a 'hive' of your own. It is, admittedly, pretty monotonous, but the author is in the process of recoding/streamlining it with the benefit of what she learned from her latest game, Miss Adventure.
Miss Adventure is also sim-ey, but in the sense that you have to make sure to eat, keep yourself clean, go to work, etc. The actual plotline is that the PC finds out they are a superhero and begins detectiving all the weird (and inevitably mind-control themed) stuff happening in the city.
>>6575552
I'd still give up my shitty day job for that. They must make enough money or something.
So each slave incurs roughly a 100-300 upkeep cost depending on what you give them.
Things like the brothel and promenade incur an upkeep cost of 500 when built, an additional 500 per capacity upgrade and an additional 100 when they upgrade.
An obedient slave in the servant's quarters reduces upkeep by 400.
So if I have say 15 slaves outside the servant's quarters that should cost me in the range of 4500-5000 credits.
If I have the brothel and promenade with an occupancy of 5 each as well as their upgrades that's an additional 1200 credits.
Would I be right in guessing that am I going to need 16 obedient slaves at the most in the servant's quarters to get rid of the upkeep costs of having 5 slaves in the brothel, 5 slaves out on the promenade and 5 shall we say arsing about in the penthouse?
I'm just wondering if I have the right idea about what's what in relation to upkeep.
>>6575563
Maybe he did give up his day job, but he's lying about it so he doesn't have to work more.
>>6575217
>implying /tg/ doesn't like touhou futa
>>6575571
Oh shit, that would be horrifically skeevy.
It's a possibility these days though.
Milk nerfed into uselessness, but I don't mind because now I have the Arcade. It's free money. Take a cheap crappy slave, drop her in there, roll in cash. And once in a while pay a visit to the facility and see the rows and rows of Mindbroken, Extremely Unhealthy, Very Slow slaves staring vacantly back at you...
>>6575565
That math sounds right.
It's been my experience that I tend to end up with a looot of servants to pay for the rest of my slaves if a game goes long enough.
Also don't forget to add in upkeep costs for mercenaries, if you want them. $3,000/week for the first event, and it jumps to $5,000/week if you upgrade/knight them.
>>6575581
Oh good, I haven't had a chance to try the new update yet but someone on the blog sade the Arcade literally worked slaves to death, which was bumming me out.
You get money for it? I wasn't expecting that.

Is it the Arcade itself killing off everyone, or the extreme aphrodisiacs?
>>6575724
the arcade itself
>>6575724
Extreme aphrodisiacs reduce health by one, gloryhole without preventatives reduces health by one, too.
Result: Slaves go in, slaves don't go out.
I wonder if that means they learn that a slaved passed away when some client complains that the holes he rented wouldn't tighten.
This sucks by the way. I *demand* to be able to give them preventatives instead of aphrodisiacs in the name of prolonged punishment.
>>6575726
yeah I was a little bummed that not only did the upgraded version not save them from the brink of death it pushed them over
>>6575726
Also, since the arcade is so destructive, it would be nice to be able to condemn girls to it for specific periods of time. Say 10 weeks, then they automatically get out. That, or I don't know have the capacity to automatically get them out before they get mindbroken or ded. Like, get an event that they are on the brink and whether you want to let them in or get them out or whatever.
FCDev pls.
>>6575726
Yeah if the Arcade -has- to do health damage I second the need for preventatives.
Cut the income from it if necessary, mindbreaking is fine too, I just don't want slaves to actually -die-, I want them to suffer.
>>6575731
I don't want them to get mindbroken. Mindbroken slaves do not appreciate their situation as much as lucid slaves.
FC Dev!
The game completely skipped the arcology attack.
I have gotten the events for when the merc asks for a slave and to fund the refugee raid but the attack hasn't happened.
>>6575734
FCdev hath forsaken us for we hath questioned his lolimod commandment.
>>6575733
Well yeah, I'd be okay with them staying lucid and helpless. Just figured I wouldn't ask for -everything-, ya know?
Letting slaves die is a waste of assets...
Some building settings would be nice, but for the moment I'm enjoying stuffing captured Daughters into the arcade and leaving them to rot.
>>6575736
I doubt that. FCDev seems cool enough that one retard wouldn't set him off.
>>6575731
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Just be able to toggle between extreme aphrodisiacs/stimulators etc for mad cash and damage, or preventatives for sane cash and no damage.

It's a revolutionary using 9mm. I see the suits the PC and the mercs wear using mostly legacy weapons, just bigger than an unassisted person can comfortably wield and carry ammo for. The drones are probably a bit more exotic due to weight considerations - caseless, maybe, in the 5-6mm range.

This all looks about right. At the moment however, massive servant use isn't the best option from a pure profit standpoint, since proper servants are going to earn more elsewhere. Eventually I'll add diminishing returns though, making the first ~5 servants extremely useful.

You should have seen the first version of the arcade. Amputation was not the only surgery required. Arcade is bugged though. Death was an unintended consequence of the way I borrowed preexisting code. Even with the upgrade it's only supposed to push them to the edge, not over it.
>>6574767
>you can't give preventatives to your arcade inmates to make sure they stay fit for duty indefinitely
Apparently I need to make this clearer in game again. The facilities are all assumed to be looking after their inhabitants' drugs, clothing, rules, etc. Your arcade inmates are getting preventatives, anon. It's just that they're not enough. They should be going down to ~-8 health though, not dying. My bad.
>>6575694
>We don't need some limp-wrist who can't handle a man's caliber.
But anon, this shitty argument can be used against any caliber by a larger caliber. It doesn't stop at .45 - the true man's pistol caliber is 45/70 Gov't!
>>6575757

>>6575762

>>6575771
You know how when you choose a drug treatment the page refreshes? Well, I suspect FCdev is sending you to another page instead of just using a text variable to change how that page reads. I suspect he found out about this at some point hence why some choices don't refresh the page.

>Your arcade inmates are getting preventatives, anon. It's just that they're not enough. They should be going down to ~-8 health though, not dying. My bad.
:"(
I would still appreciate some way to make sure they don't get mindbroken immensely, though. Just an event "yo dawg dis bitch gonna crack if you don't get her outta there! waddayasay?" would be great.
>>6575788
Could be a fun random event.
>"Please, get me the fuck out of here, I'll do anything".
>>6575781
Oh, and more kinds of collars would be neat. Something like a silver collar would go good with the nice suits I have my on my slaves or generic religious symbols to go with the nun outfits.
>>6575781
The auto-assistant does work. I know because I, too, have set it to bleaching assholes and it works just fine.
It just doesn't work automatically unless you choose "activate rules assistant".
>>6575786
>Do they exist?
>if yes send to arcade
>else if no send to arcade
>else send to arcade
I'm only guessing though
>>6575789
Yes, great idea. Your personal assistant is monitoring them so it could tell you about them.
>>6575729
>>6575731
>>6575772
This. We need an upgrade that keeps them at a constant (low but not dead) level of health. Someone dying there should be a rare happenstance, perhaps only as an event. Poor maintenance on the machine, perhaps?
>>6575764
>Death was an unintended consequence
¡Viva la ArcologÃa!
>>6575791
Let me clarify. It doesn't work on slaves newly bought from the market. I just checked and the main menu option doesn't apply it and neither does the option to apply defaults when you first acquire the slave.
>>6575797
That's interesting. Could be a bug with 0.5 because I distinctly remember applying defaults returning "her asshole has been modified" in the previous version.
Might want to post that in the blogspot to make sure he sees it.
>>6575799
It's been a bug for a while. For starting slaves it works fine but any new slaves you buy it won't apply it.
>>6575802
I'm definitely sure it worked in 0.4.9
>>6575762
>Eventually I'll add diminishing returns though
Ah don't

I'm working on that.
>>6575772
>It's killing them fast. Jesus christ mate, it's a holocaust in there. The allies will never stop talking about it after they kill me.
Just posted a quick patch that should keep the arcade upgrade from killing inmates.
>Also what amputation? Do they get amputated?
Not in the version that I went with, no. As originally planned, the arcade was going to be a far more invasive setup. Now it only wrecks their physical and mental health.
>>6575771
>What is the clusterfuck of lines in the middle-left?
That's the end of week code. All the facilities and assignments use those passages to piece together code to handle each slave's week.
>>6575774
>You know how when you choose a drug treatment the page refreshes? Well, I suspect FCdev is sending you to another page instead of just using a text variable to change how that page reads. I suspect he found out about this at some point hence why some choices don't refresh the page.
Sort of. My shitty array system to make everyone's stats work without object based stuff sometimes requires a page refresh to apply changes, sometimes not.
>>6575781
>Fix the auto-assistant so that it actually bleaches assholes
The bug that would not die. Fuck.
Also post /d/ images to keep the janitor off.
>>6575806
One of your slaves is missing the standard shock collar. I'll leave you to finding her.
>>6575812
>Also post /d/ images to keep the janitor off.
To keep them off, or to get them off?
>>6575814
Panagoita?
Thanks for the spot.
>>6575812
Why not make the amputation decrease the upkeep for arcade slaves? That way there's still an incentive but it's not mandatory.
>>6575812
>Just posted a quick patch
Already? Impressive as always.
>>6575812
Does Twine not support object-oriented programming, or is it something you just don't want to fuck with? Not that I blame you, OOP can get you in deep shit pretty quick.
>>6575812
>keep the arcade upgrade from killing inmates
Don't do that. Make a new upgrade so that it cal still happen but you have a way to fix it.
>>6575821
H-He made all this without objects?
The fuck, how? What are the slaves, then? Variables? Bundles of correlated variables? Well technically that's what objects are, anyway. Why go to all the trouble?
>>6575823
>Make a new upgrade so that it cal still happen but you have a way to fix it.
How? Would it doze them with phoenix down?
I meant that the current situation (people dying all the time) could happen, but you could fix the situation (by upgrading (targeted health drug IV rather than preventatives, perhaps?)) and no longer have people die all the time. Not like fixing the individual deaths. If you care about individual slaves, you could already fix it individually by taking them out and healing them and treating them nicely before throwing them into the glory holes anew.
>>6575812
The new career fluff and the intelligence stat are great and really help to fleshout randomly generated slaves.
Any chance nun, journalist, musician, and unemployed could be added to the careers?
Also any plans to do more with education and intelligence? Prestigious genius/wunderkind slaves maybe?
>>6575831
>unemployed
There's too much nuance to that. Beggars and vagrants should be one, NEET leach could be one, itinerant preacher/philosopher could be one.
>>6575777
It's not too bad, just twine doesn't support parameters or return values, so it's globals. Globals everywhere.
>>6575797
>>6575802
It's not a bug-- it doesn't modify slaves below obedient because they'll have mental reactions to that shit. Break your slaves first.
>>6575825
Arrays of dictionaries, basically. Dictionaries are perfectly capable of quacking like a duck.
FCDev:
I got tired of lag in FC. Instead of bitching about it, I decided to dig into twine and figure out what the hell was causing it to take over a second between scenes. The two big lag spots for me are summary generation, and event selection. I haven't found what is causing the summary lag, but I found is causing the event selection lag.
So in your code: You go through every slave and if they qualify for an event you add both the event to a list and the slave id to a list. Once this is done, you select a random event, then a random slave from that event's slave list. You then discard these arrays at the end, and remake them at the end.
Holy shit is this wasteful. You currently have fifty-six events with an average of three checks each. I currently have seventy slaves in my game. Worst case (in computer science you always plan worst case until you can math out average), your going to push nearly four thousand slave ids and events into arrays.
The further downside to this method is the more slaves who qualify for an event, the more common said event is. This is more of an opinion, because I'd rather see more different events but up to you.
My proposed solution:
Instead of iterating over every slave select a random slave. Have an array of all the events. Select a random number "i" less than the size of the event array. Starting at the number and working your way up check if the slave qualifies for event[i]. If she does, fire that event. If she doesn't, increment i. Make sure that if "i" becomes greater than size of the event array it is set to zero so you start from the front of the array. If you make it all the way around to your original random number, you can do two things. You could select another random slave and repeat this process, or you could just have "No Event" fire.
If you go the "no event" route, you only make around 150 comparisons (instead of over eleven thousand), and store two random numbers (instead of four thousand).

>>6575831
Maybe add bookkeeping as a job. Maybe as a better way to lower upkeep like a higher tier of servant?
>>6575733
>>6575737
>>6575742
>>6575788
Glory-hole and Arcade both don't directly cause mindbreaking, only the odd quirk.
However they both lower devotion, and when a slave is rebellious or worse and has more then a 100 sex acts there is a weekly chance to mindbreak.
You can keep slaves worshipful in the gloryhole, probably for years like confinement.
>>6575839
Office facility. Slutty secretaries make money based on intelligence, they have a Supervisor for their supervisor.
>>6575838
The method I specified above follows the style you have currently: the more slaves who qualify for an event, the more common that event is.
If you want to control how often different events occur, instead of selecting a random slave, then finding an event that fits the slave, you select a random (or weighted random) event, then go through the slaves to find one who fits the event. Downside to this one is that is probably more likely to end in a "no event", but it lets you control how often events are.
Hope my posts help you, and make the game better.
>>6575848
>Event where you fuck one while they're working
>They mess up and you lose a shit load of money
>>6575838
>The further downside to this method is the more slaves who qualify for an event, the more common said event is. This is more of an opinion, because I'd rather see more different events but up to you.
That's already an option, right?
>>6575838
if the random slave doesn't qualify for any event, couldn't he just repeat the process with another random slave until someone does? or just fire one of the events that have nothing to do with a slave. Those already happen often.
>>6575855
After reading your comment I went back and looked and yeah >_>
The way FCDev does event normalization might actually be another source of lag. He does it by removing duplicate events from the event table. I'm not sure what twine uses for their arrays, but it is probably not optimized for mid list deletion.
>>6575857
I mention the repeat is an option. The downside to this is that if no slaves qualify for any events, you have to have a bit of logic to catch that case.
I've already found an issue with my code: it doesn't really account for events that aren't slave focused. FCDev would have to add a decision statement that decides whether or not to do a slave focused event, or use the alternate method I described in >>6575847

How do you increase their balls?
I find that hormones only work the first two - four weeks.
>>6575869
They seem to grow on their own, even without hormones. I reported it as a possible bug about an hour ago.
>>6575812
Dunno if anyone's reported this bug-
The daughters of liberty event is utterly broken. It skips past them trying to free a slave to them having freed your slave. Except it's a null value, as no slave was freed. This continues to break every scene that follows it in the chain.
FC Dev can very smart slaves still get educated status?
>>6575876
I think you mentioned something in relation to that before but I can not for the life of me find it.
>>6575876
Someone said custom ordered slaves can't be educated, if that's your problem.
>>6575873
Didn't happen to me in 5.01.
Could FCdev hazard a guess as to whether 5.01 saves are compatible with whatever the latest hotfix is?
Also, it would be nice to have a changelog for each hotfix somewhere.
The current file on Dropbox says "FC Alpha v 0.5.0.1.html". The first hotfix was "FC Alpha v 0.5.01.html". I'm fairly sure v0.5.01 isn't the latest one. Somewhat confusing.
>>6575876
Looked at the source, nope. Slaves with two or greater intelligence can't be educated. However, for most calculations, educated is treated as one point of intelligence.
>>6575888
so which slaves can be educated?
>>6575890
ones like you
>>6575891
I take it this is an off-hand insult and you mean slow slaves?
Isn't that an inconsistency?
>>6575890
Any slave with less than two intelligence who is not already educated. The more devoted and intelligent they are, the faster they make progress.
So I took a peek into into the code for FC, I'm not sure if he's making it more complicated than it should be.
So I'm gonna give making a game a shot. Not a /d/ game exactly, but I'm gonna try to make a game based around the same idea as Newlife. Going for a dating/sex sim. Wish me luck, guys.
What language does Twine work with? Because I'm mediocre at C++ and FC's source code looks like absolute nonsense to me.
>>6575899
Make it so I can play as a trap
>>6575904
Part javascript, part interpreted custom stuff. I think FC is all interpreted.
You can figure out what "if ($seeDicks is 1) and (random(1,100) gt 80)" means, right?
>>6575901
So do you have any recommendations for me? Definitely not planning on making anything with graphics; it's gonna be text-based. I can't draw for shit and I don't want to get someone to draw for me because that shit's not free.
>>6575906
If I can do it, I'm not going to limit clothing to gender. So hopefully, you can be a bisexual male dressed in female clothing, then romance and have sex with people who are attracted to males.
But this is going to be my first real attempt at making a game. I've never really tried any sort of programming before. The most I've done is fiddled around with coding in BYOND.
I'm just gonna tell you right off the bat that I probably won't have anything decent to show within the next year considering my lack of experience. And because of that, I make no guarantees that I can even implement what people want, let alone what I want.

Inform7 is basically designed to help beginners get started with a text adventure, but you'll have to do some extra work to do things that aren't text adventures. Do you like how trapquest's interface works? It's that. (The pictures might take a little extra work too)
Newlife itself is in java with some UI toolkit or other.. I wouldn't recommend a beginner start with that but if you're adventurous you'll get some useful skills as a side-effect. Same goes for other general-purpose programming languages like C++.
It's hard to give a suggestion if you don't already know a programming language.
Here's an updated list of best slaves for roles:
Madam: Whore > 2, Age > 35, Int > 0, Dick > 2, Balls > 0, No hormones
Concierge: Entertain > 2, Age > 35, Face > 1, int > 0
Milkmaid: Health >= 8, Age < 21, Musc > 1
Collection Oral > 2, Butt > 4, Boobs > 800, Dick > 3, Balls > 0, No hormones
Teacher: Max Int, Age > 35 Skills don't matter. School can only teach level one of skills
Stewardess: Health >= 8, Age > 35, Int > 0, Dick > 2, Balls > 0, No hormones
Recruiter: Devotion > 25, Int >= 2 (Also upgraded promenade helps)
Specific to group:
recruit whores: oralCount > 1000
recruit mothers: preg > 5
recruit migrants: health > 8, face > 0
recruit sissies: dick > 1, balls > 0, no hormones
recruit re-assing: ovaries = 0, face > 0
Side note: If slaves get to pick their clothing, they pick based on their fetish if it is known, otherwise they pick based on their job (if they're obedient).
>>6575909
Yeah. It's different from how C++ works, but I can figure most of it out.
>>6575915
Twine would work. You create scenes, link them together, and it has macros that let you change what the text is based on options i.e. if x, print y otherwise print z.
If you just want to start making stuff, Twine is probably the easiest route to go. If you want to learn a RL applicable skill, the faster route would be to code it in HTML5/Javascript/JQuery, but that requires learning a lot more.
>>6575937
>Side note: If slaves get to pick their clothing, they pick based on their fetish if it is known, otherwise they pick based on their job (if they're obedient).
You mean they would if it wasn't broken.
>>6575951
Broken how? I just tested it with two slaves and it worked.
>>6575954
Not him, but almost every slave decides to wear a string bikini on mine. And the rules assistant makes it worse, because it works as a toggle for the clothing for some reason. I get a fresh batch of slaves, and try to sue the assistant and now every slave before them is naked.
>>6575954
I just realised what is happening. If you choose "choosing her own clothes" the description says she is wearing choosing her own clothes and her nude body in in display, after you confirm changes the mechanic works properly.
Interesting.
>>6575959
I'm pretty sure FC Dev broke Twine over his knee and forced it to do as he wanted. Twine is designed to make CYOA stories.
>>6575960
You also get small section in the end of week update where it says why she chose to wear the clothing she did. I'm loving looking through the source cause I get to find all the little features FCDev thought of.
>>6575959
I would use something like Quest, personally. Or I don't know daydreamer. You know, things that are like rags except not infuriating like rags.
I mean you can fool around with twine, but I'm pretty sure it's not made to do complex things.
>>6575959
Yeah, twine should be okay. I'm just worried about scenes where you can do ten different things to ten different people with a hundred different outcomes, but they all lead back to a main screen. That'll be the hardest part in twine.

Thanks for the game FC dev. I am also curious about about the possibility of adding some snuff and human toilet content. I would also like to suggest new slave modifications such as clit removal, pussy sewing, blindfold, and eye removal. Im not sure if you have already made statements on these.
>>6576054
Ideas go to his blogspot. Post as anonymous.
>>6575838
the game also slows down the more saves you have, for optimal performance running a single save+autosave is best

You can make an object constructor in the Javascript window of Sugarcube, then call that function and set the new object as a twine variable. Seems to work alright.

If I end up deciding on Twine, I'm sure I'll get better as I go along and be able to deal with it somehow.
>>6575966
So after I've explored Quest's game book development for a while now. I'm actually less confused with Twine. Quest's documentation is not as extensive as Twine's and I can at least search an index with Twine's. Quest's is really annoying to navigate. I'll keep it in the back of my mind, but I probably won't use Quest. I'll look at Daydreamer next.
>>6576213
I only recommend quest because I think it's pretty powerful and can handle OOP. If you want something easy, you don't get easier than twine.
>>6576214
So Twine doesn't exactly allow OOP? Because I can technically make objects, like
$player
$activenpc
then have variables assigned to it like
$player.name = "John Doe"
$activenpc.sex = "male"
Like I said, I'm a completely inexperienced programmer so I don't understand it when they seem to function in the same way. If you can explain to me what the difference is, I would appreciate it.
Now the rules assistant automatically tattoos the slaves' chests with "no default setting". I take it this means he accidentally a " or something so the game doesn't get it's a value and not something it's supposed to print.
>>6576224
That's the most hilarious bug I've ever heard of
>>6576223
What you're doing there is kind of but not really OO.
A "true" Object has a well-defined identity and list of things it has and can do.
What you're using there is Javascript's prototype model, it allows you to set arbitrary properties on things, either like you're doing (thing.var) or with array-like access (var['thing']).
Another difference is that in a lot of languages you can't just get a list of everything an object has and loop through it, you have to know what to ask for. With Javascript's properties, you can just loop through all the properties on an object.
A side note, OO in Javascript is really just a side-effect of the prototype model, and doesn't really enforce any identity for the things you create using it.
Also note that I haven't done any serious Javascript in YEARS, so all of this may in fact be wrong.
>>6576223
Inform is object oriented, Twine is not
Lets say you want to see how many of your npc's have both trait A and trait B.
With inform, all you need to do is define something as an npc and give it those traits. Any time you want to know about npc's with trait A, call npc's with trait A. Any time you want to know about npc's with trait A and B, call npc's with trait A and B.
With twine, you need to create an object(or an array) for that npc and give it those traits, and give it a trait for its name. Next, you need to create an array of all npc's. Next, create an array of all npc's with trait A. Next, create an array of all npc's with trait B. Any time you want to know about npc's with trait A, call the array of npc's with trait A. Any time you want to know about npc's with trait A and trait B, call the array of npc's with trait A, then call the array of npc's with trait B.
"Objects" in twine are arbitrary, so you can only track objects individually, and if you want to track objects on a greater scale, you're out of luck unless you create an object made up of aliases for other objects.
