Virtue/Corruption Mechanic, Reworked Relations
HEY PAL, DONNY HERE!
What we got today, then?
Take a look!
Improvements to Virtue
All virtue gains and losses are going to be increased. As you gain or lose virtue, The Brave's picture will change with it! It will also unlock a new ability for you to use. But if The Brave leaves the threshold for the ability, he will lose said ability. For example, if you get to 125 virtue, then went on to 150 virtue, you will have both abilities. But if you drop below 150, and went down to 50, you'd lose both abilities but learn Eye Poke & Dark Wishes. And it will be the same vice versa. Originally, I wanted The Brave's picture to change with level AND virtue. As he'd level, he'd start getting more buff. But that would create too many variations for just one person to handle!

Reworked Relations
With reworked relations, A LOT has changed under the hood of the game. All sex options are available from the start, every time you do something with a women, it adds 1 point of reputation (Except the one sex act they're not keen on.) At 4 reputation, you'll be able to go on an expedition with them. Here, the relation can go further.
There will be a moral choice, where the good choice will lead to a better relation and more virtue. The bad choice will lead to some kind of extra reward and less virtue. If you choose to do so, it will annoy the woman, where you can then either apologize to try and get back into their good graces, or manipulate them to think it was the right thing to do, because you're the big, strong hero who knows best! It sounds quite formulaic but it ensures a smoother experience, and it's a lot easier to keep track of, for the both of us!
Everyone will start at Cordial (Except Lyra but she's for much later on.)
From there it can go up and down, depending on how you treat them on expeditions.
Companion<<<<Smitten<<<<Cordial>>>>Annoyed>>>>Coerced>>>>Servant
For now, this is how it will begin, and I'll evolve it from here.

Voyeur Scenes?
But what about the Voyeur? I think I've found a way to make the niche work well with the story and gameplay. Let me know what you think.
Voyeur scenes will always be with minor characters, and can lead to a moral choice for The Brave to take. Does he act as a true hero, and do good where ever he can? Or does he be a massive, manipulating perv instead that abuses his power? You will also be able to skip Voyeur scenes, they will be entirely picture based (which can be unlocked in a gallery.), and some will have some kind of impact on The Brave later on in the game. From this, we can have little stories that run parallel to the main story.
(Who could that be?)
(Work in progress. We've gotta get a MILF in there.)
Ria's Redone quest
The quest is similar to the previous iteration, yet it's been greatly simplified! When I was first working on it, it took me around 5 straight hours of confusing variable and switch handling to get the quest the way I wanted it to. I took one look at it today and deleted it, then decided to start fresh. It was like looking at a mass of tangled Christmas lights you've launched into the attic without a second thought, knowing it won't be your problem... for a while. You've got to fall to learn! Instead, there's 3 simple ways the quest goes. You either save Ria from the monster and be rewarded as a hero. Let the monster have it's way, then apologize for not helping. OR, you manipulate her into thinking it was all her fault in the first place, (Or something similar) then demand sex. Simple! Each one will lead the relation is a different direction! Each one will have their own short H-scene, too. Even the 'annoyed' ending

Future plans and what I'm aiming to do next
Vivianna's quest
Rework Maxi's quest
Do individual h-scenes for Maxi
Introduce minor voyeur scene characters
And that's it (for now!), thanks for reading. Please let me know your thoughts! It's been such a pleasure working on this game, again. I've made a lot of work for myself but I'm enjoying it, and overall, I think the game is going to have a better foundation to be built upon. Take it easy!

love the virtue system and it has effects in battle!! Keep it up!! Exciting stuff
The virtue system sounds very interesting, one question with that Donny, I suppose in the next update it will be easier to gain/lose virtue with such high levels?
You're right with that, Juridk! I've changed the values to reflect this. For instance, bringing the stolen gem to the village sage only gave you 1 point, now it's 15. They'll also be an option to lose virtue with the quest, which I'll keep secret for now! Thanks for your comment!
