Version 0.2.10 has just gone free, and version 0.2.11 is now avaiable for patrons! Their changelogs are available on these links. To sum up, quoting the changelog posts,

"[0.2.10] brings a lot of new features, including an action to create positions for three characters, the opportunity to tag along when NPCs are about to leave the conversation to have sex without you, and much more."

"[0.2.11 brings a few improvements to sex scenes, including more accesible and mutable sex preferences, a complete rework of the sex scenes AI, a few scrolls explaining a few obscure mechanics in detail, and a lot of optimization, which should come handy for the players who were experiencing the heaviest lag.]"

On this post, I'll explain some details about the latest update.

Sex preferences and desires

Like it used to happen with battle scene actions, sex scene actions' effects will be affected by a multiplier, which will be determined by RNG rolls (which are affected by the luck stat), but also the target's preferences and desires. Preferences are mutable, long-term preferences for actions that have specific tags (f.ex.: "use pussy", "use legs", "target breasts", "hypnosis" or "bondage"), and desires are temporary altered states that raise the effect of actions with those tags.

Out of the more than 30 sex preferences, the 4 with the highest weight receive rank 2, and the 8 following preferences receive rank 1, which determine that that tag is loved or liked. While the five NPC Candidates have specific initial preferences (which you can check on a file on version 0.2.11's changelog post), these preferences will be altered over time. When a character reaches orgasms, the game records the tags of all actions that were affecting the character during that turn, and RNG rolls will determine if each of those tags' preferences weights get increased, and by how much. When the orgasm is ruined, this effect tends to be larger, and it gets increased even more if the orgasm is mindblowing. Over time, some weight will be substracted from each of the characters' preferences, with the biggest weight being more likely to be targeted: this means that making a character love a specific kind of action requires continuous work.

Desires, at the moment, are provoked by specific actions, which right now are the "stroke" ones, the footjob actions and groin frottage. The effect of desires is generally larger than that of preferences, and this gives you some reason to use caressing actions now, as they may be used as the start of a combo chain for bigger effects.

Sex Scenes AI's missions

Out of everything done in this AI rework, the most remarkable one is how "missions" are selected now. Similarly to how pathfinding algorithms create search trees in which they keep track of all (or the most promising) usable routes, NPCs will now consider each positional action they may use on any other character, create a list of position pairs, and find all possible combinations of primary continued actions that they may use in each of them. Then, the least efficient "routes" are discarded, and each potential continued action is evaluated with a weighted random roll, taking into account preferences, desires and which character they prefer to target.

Among many other changes, I think this new AI is considerably more robust and produces far better behaviors. Please share your experiences with it!

This month's portrait by Ikumireii was the first portrait of the game for a male character. Remember that male character participating in sexual acts will be optional and may be disabled in the settings, once the first one is introduced to the game. I hope you like it!
