[WiP] Running the Gauntlet

[BattenK]

I'm afraid that the way I'm designing the gauntlet would disallow this. 

 

There are several forks and options within my current gauntlet, and I intend on closing portcullises behind you after you've made your choice. This eliminates little bullshit things like "oh I picked a path with a lot of traps, let's go down the other one".

 

But if gates are closed behind you...

I liked the bit where he goes on to refer to women as cunts. Nothing backs up the intellectual rigor of using the appropriate singular and plurals for women like using a misogynist slur.

Do you complain about misandry whenever anybody is called a dick?

 

I bet you don't.

Scholar Germaine Greer has said that "it is one of the few remaining words in the English language with a genuine power to shock."

 

 

 

I think there's a host of subtext to the English language that, though itself a symptom and not a cause, is indicative of overlying offensive characterizations. But that's all I'll say about that.

 

 

Anyway, while you're here, how about something on topic?

Hmmm is it from the zaz animation pack in which girls are suspended on pillars as such. Would be a nice background touch to show other women that didn't make it in certain areas.

[mezzoforte]

Judge already mentioned having estrus involved

 

My suggestion is a little more cosmetic in the sense that you should include other NPC's already trapped or suffering inside the maze, both for eye candy and a preview as to what might happen to the PC if she gets caught.

 

Also, since it's a maze, maybe toss in a Minotaur? or some equivalent to the map boss that hunts down the PC.

I'm hearing scenery of the kinky, loss variety. I like this, especially with the upcoming additions to the zaz animation package. Will try to add space for this. 

 

As for a minotaur, well, I'm not exactly in a position to go around making a new kind of creature, but I could throw something into a cell along those lines. Maybe a pitfall into a maze in which there's also a troll or two? Nigh-invincible at that... I'll look into making the next cell more maze-like. NavMesh is something I haven't really toyed around with yet

Honestly, if you restrict the PC's equipment, you don'T even have to make the trolls tough. Get to level 50, take off all armor, and fight two trolls, I dare you

[Aliris]

Without equipment can still be easy, for a pure mage or magic-heavy build, though.  That can be restricted too in a variety of ways, but worth remembering if you decide to restrict equipment.

[Azurada]

This is looking/sounding awesome so far! Has anyone suggested how it would start? Maybe a rescue quest, similar to the ones you get from the Companions, turned trap by an angry NPC from earlier on in the main story? I could see Sven or Faendal masterminding some kind twisted revenge plot, depending on which one you have Carmilla reject. After all, they seem to totally hate your guts after helping their rival get the girl, to the point of wishing you were dead. Who's to say they don't make some dark deals while you wander Skyrim killing dragons? Maybe even find some dirt on you to force you into playing along in the first place?

 

Also, if nobody suggested it yet, I would love to see some stuff involving old Dwemer constructs. Maybe as punishment if you fail before having to start again?

Thought about this. I'm thinking about punishment items that have silence effects. Or maybe a 0-regen aura over the whole thing (manage what few spells you have)

Could you expand a little on the Dwemer bit?

There is a Dwemer ruin in the game where you see a table with a lever. When activated a bunch of blades descend. Perhaps do something similar where if you're downed in the gauntlet, the screen blacks out and your PC wakes up strapped to a similar device, though obviously not designed to kill, but torture and humiliate. I also liked the idea of seeing animations for the steam centurions and spiders, but I don't think there are any at the moment. Would be interesting if they took advantage of the PC while strapped the table, though.

Message to the community: Help.

 

 

I'm working on things one module at a time. The first one is coming along rather well, and I have three different loss-scenarios in it (maybe means episodic additions to the gauntlet, so I can get something off the ground sooner).

 

 

Anyway, my experience with scripting is close to nil, and my experience with skyrim is actually nil. Is there anyone who could help me out with a few specific questions? PM me please, I don't want to embarrass myself for everyone to see...

[kittenzoe]

Hello, I just found this and I was wondering if it's still being worked on or not, I'm really excited for this! It looks so neat, and I love this type of game.

[DocClox]

Still looking for ideas?

 

How about a long opening passage with arms coming out odd the walls that grab and snatch at the PC add she goes past. You could maybe do it with NPCs hidden by the walls with only one arm clipping through. Have them steal things as she progresses until she gets to the and naked. Some notification text in the top right could add a little flavour, while a slight but progressive damage would discourage anyone hanging around long enough to break the illusion.

 

Maybe later have a tunnel filled with slime that she has to swum through, SDI she Congress out covered in filth. No idea how you'd do it, mind.

 

Also, +1 for chaurus traps.
