(Tiniest Desires) Just some more progress + How the game will work
I've been working on finishing up the last few scenes for Arvale Protocol 0.9.0. It should be out by the end of February. In the meantime, I have also been hard at work on Tiniest Desires. While it's mostly just been waiting for CG's, I have actually been playing through a ton of size games to help better prepare myself and understand what I should focus on. Seriously, I've been playing through a lot.
While my game will definitely have a lot of great scenes, I really wanted to emphasize the whole morality system. It's not really something I've seen done a lot, and I think it could really be fun to play around with. To understand a bit more about how it will work, basically it goes like this:
Choose what sort of thing you want to browse on the internet. Want to simply kick back and watch a movie? Gain a little morality! Want to read a news article about a tragedy? You'll lose a small bit of morality.
How about something related to Yasushi? Did he do something to anger you? Scold him a little bit, but don't scare him, and you'll gain morality! If you don't feel like being nice, you could always bully him a little and trap him under your finger, but be careful, you will lose morality!
The higher morality, the more obsessive and clingy you become. If it gets too low, you will slowly become more cold and cruel. Having low morality could even cause some "intrusive thoughts" to appear. These are scenes that exclusively take place in Miyu's head, but are not actually real. Viewing an intrusive thought might lose you some morality as well!
I was thinking at first, intrusive thoughts could be rather common. However, later in the game, they will no longer just be visions, showing the slow decay of Miyu's sanity.
