Hello again,
This is likely the last time you'll hear from me this year. I've been primarly bugfixing and developing the story a bit, in theory that is, nothing implemented yet.
I've also done some testing possible punishment scenarios for misbehaving slaves. In my Ideas and Feedback section quite a few people (including me) were unhappy with the way the slave sister system worked. Of course I could have just gone ahead and scrapped the idea entirely but I didn't really want that.
As slaves carry a rank, depending on their behavior I thought this could be made useful in that slaves get put in groups that get punished accordingly.
So for this let's assume rank 0 is neutral, not rebellious but not very submissive. There's no perks but also no downsides.
All slaves of this rank form a group, a faction if you will. So lets assume the player also has the rank 0 but now breaks the rules. Like for example refusing an order given by a slaver.
Of course they'll get punished for misbehaving but every other slave in that city that also has the rank of 0 get's punished all the same. This would create a certain disposition towards the player as they got punished for the mistake of another.
The same would the player get punished for any mistake one of the npc slaves make. Of course the slavers will make sure you get to know who was the one that made the mistake, do with that what you will.
Of course you can increase your slave rank by behaving like the slavers want you to behave or decrease it by misbehaving. I don't think I really need to explain that any further.
It remains somewhat similar to what the original slave sister system set out to be but just wasn't. Or at least, what I believe it should have been.
But unfortunatily this will have to do for now.
Until the end of february 2024 I will mostly be occupied taking care of a few very important tests. Firstly I'm finishing my drivers license which is quite a tedious, longwinded and expansive process where I live (about 2.2k if anyone is interested). In addition to that a second, about equally as important series of tests is coming up soon, they will determine if I will soon have a better paying job or if I wasted 3 years of my life for nothing. I think everybody can see how that is very important.
All this starts in november so until then I will still be around giving answers etc.
Maybe I will be able to release another stable dev version before that. I will try to at least deliver you something before the year is up.
In 2024 I will have a lot more time again and that means time for progress.
