A brainstorm: "Incremental Seduction"

[rb813]

This is an idea I had for how it might work to make seducing someone be a bit more of a drawn-out process. The way the game normally works, you talk to an object of affection repeatedly until their relationship meters go up, and then after they reach a certain point, the Woohoo option appears in the interaction menu. What I think would be interesting is if, for certain characters (either based on manual designation, or maybe for specific categories like family members), there would be a series of gradual steps in the path of seduction. For purposes of illustration, I'll use a male seducing a female. Early steps in the sequence might be getting her to flash her breasts (or even just her underwear at first, depending on how many steps you want the sequence to have) or over-the-clothes groping, then progressing to unclothed groping and eventually fingering. Later steps would be the usual progression of handjob, blowjob, and full penetration. So, the way "incremental seduction" would work, is any time your relationship meters are full enough that Woohoo would normally show up in the interactions menu for designated characters, it would instead be replaced with whatever is the next step in the seduction sequence (or there could also be tiers instead of a linear progression, giving you multiple options at this point). After you do that thing, the relationship meter goes back down, at least halfway (not to say that the object of your character's affection didn't like it, but just to represent that it will take more effort and buttering up before they'll progress further). Logistically, I think it would be difficult to pull off, because there would be a lot of different actions, each requiring their own unique animations and commands like whether or not to take your clothes off. But if it could be achieved, I think that would be a very interesting way to have more of a teasing sense of anticipation that's built up over time (if that's what you're into), instead of just choosing a handful of friendly and romantic interactions, and then going right to fucking.
