(26 Mar) Sprint 009 update

Sprint plan | Trello 

Hi everybody, hope you're staying safe and at home if you can.

We made progress on three tasks today, and completed three more:

• [T36] Update "P001 Balcony Max fingerbang finale" for the different arousal states

• [T44] Make Max's degrading dirty talk conditional; it doesn't fit the scene in all instances (e.g. if Kate has been very sexual)

• [T51] Add ENF pose versions of bracelets and weapon ring

[T44] was interesting.  Max can "trash talk" the agent (in Swedish) during the sex scene – it's kind of a dominance thing, telling her she's just a one night stand while he's fucking her, and that makes him feel more powerful and transgressive.  

(It just arose organically while I was writing the scene, so it's probably one of the things my psychiatrist will be interested in when I show her Female Agent and ask her to figure out what the hell's wrong with me.)

However, this trash talk felt artificial on some test runs.  I realised that certain things the agent can do as foreplay can arouse Max so much that he doesn't need the extra thrill of the trash talk.

So I've made Max's trash talk conditional; if the agent excites him enough, he doesn't do it.  That makes this scene feel more natural and interesting, and it also gave me a big insight on a brothel mechanic that we'll go into later.

Okay, that's it for today!  Try to stay alive until I report in tomorrow, I love all of you guys and want you all to survive beer virus.
