Enslavement Rework
Haven't mentioned this until now (I haven't mentioned a lot of stuff when it comes to the next update actually), but I'm reworking the enslavement system to feel like it's a core part of the game that ties organically to other mechanics and dialogue. You will no longer need to keep 10 different saves for each Domina so you can access their enslavement content lol.
Highlights:
Getting enslaved does not lock you into the Domina's realm. Dialogue is rewritten; the Domina is too intrigued with you and your progress and wants to see how far you can go. Allowing you to become more powerful by defeating other Dominas also brings prestige to them by having you as their devotee. You can continue your quest as normal and move to other realms after becoming enslaved.
Getting enslaved is now an option, you are not forced into it when reaching a Mental Break (Stress 100). The dialogue option still only becomes avalaible when you are under the effects of a Mental Break. Mental Breaks (and the health/stress system in general) are redesigned to work differently. I'll delve into this on a different post.
Being enslaved/devoted (still not sure what keyword I will use for this) to a Domina directly unlocks new dialogue in the main questline, and influences the game ending later on. It also opens up the 'Devotion' perks in the Domina's respective perk tree (perk trees are all Domina-themed now, one tree for each Domina); Devotion perks are the top perks of a perk tree, the most powerful ones, and can only be accessed if you are enslaved/devoted to the respective Domina.
Despite being able to continue your quest after enslavement, you can still only be enslaved to 1 Domina at a time. Getting enslaved to another one after you are already enslaved will scorn the previous Domina. Which brings me to...
Dominas can enter a state of Scorn. This can happen through dialogue choices or betraying your pledged devotion to them (by pledging to another Domina). Scorned Dominas will hate you, refuse to start scenes with you and will have unique dialogue depending on what Domina you 'cheated' on them with (see screenshots). Scorning Dominas influences the game ending.
There are no hard 'game over' scenarios anymore. These are fun ways to mess with the player but ultimately frustrating if you haven't saved in a while. For example, instead of Madeline trapping you in an endless maze if you piss her off, she will instead just become scorned. She will still send you there but you will be able to leave after passing through a humiliation ritual, and you'll have to live with scorning her permanently (so this is still a drawback, don't piss Dominas off).
Scorning a Domina does not re-lock your access to their Devotion perks after you've already unlocked them. Min-maxxers can devote to every Domina and then betray them to get access to all Devotion perks, becoming disgustingly powerful. This is by design and it simulates a powerhungry MC that tricks, cheats and defies literal demons and Gods to gain more power. As a pushback, the game tracks all this... there might come a time when all those demons you scorned knock on your door all together and you have an impossible fight on your hands in the future...

Will character classes still exist? Will they be separate to the Domina perks or will they now be tied exclusively into the devotion perk tree system? Additionally, on a previous post, you said that you are thinking of just going with 3 classes that will interact with the Dominas and the world depending on the class. Will that still be the case?
Hello, Will it be a possibility to become devoted to Llavanya ?
Can you pass me the discord link, please
When MC enslaved by Domina, it would be great to have a scene where that Domina humiliates Ilvania using the MC (Main Character). Alternatively, they could somehow persuade the Domina to humiliate the MC. I remember Katrina mentioning a similar scenario in the foot-licking scene. It would be nice to see this :). Also, if this scene is where Ilvania first appears, it would fit better into the game's loop. After all, if MC enslaved by Domina before she arrives and she still thinks the MC is loyal to her, it would cause a conflict in the story
I like the idea so is it like I want to be a slave to Katrina and after I keep winning against other dominas I make her powerful and maybe above the other dominas and will there be scenes for that
Not *exactly* like that, you're still breaking Katrina's seal so you're weakening her as much as all the others, but yes, being devoted to a specific Domina WILL result in her triumphing in some way at the ending.
Glad to see.I just want to get slapped multiply by every dominas' hands. To say something strange,faceslapping scenes are very common in three-dimension world's femdom but very rare in femdom games.That's why I follow this game. ––And then I discovered the femdom level of dominas is far superior to just face slapping. Am I seeing the last faceslap scene (attack,exactly) in version 10.0?
Yes, I don't think I have added more slapping stuff after 10.0 🤔
Something that could be fun, would be unique sex scenes with scorned domina~ Good ol getting pinned and hate fucked / toileted after~
Yeah that sounds hot lol. Wil likely do this, not sure if it's going to make it for the upcoming update though cause I'd like the scorned scenes to be new and unique CGs
Will this option be available for all Dominas up to this point (including Hora?)
Yes, the system will include all Dominas including Hora and Ruby and the final 3. Hora obviously dies during her questline, so you will be become undevoted again after that event. This means that devoting to Hora and unlocking her Devotion perks is a no-brainer because there's no downside (you don't scorn anyone when Hora dies and then you can devote to someone else, essentially getting 2 Devotion perks for free). Currently brainstorming ideas to balance this a bit, maybe the player should get a debuff if he does this.
I'll probably go straight to Rosita and just stay as her devotee for the rest of the game, so does that mean you can back to see Rosita and other Dominas, because right now if you defeat her and leave she does not interact with you anymore, and you have to use the memory shard as a gallery?
Yes, you will be able to return to every Domina and access her content in the new system. If you are devoted to her, you will also have access to her 'enslavement' scenes, while still continueing with the quest. The only way the Domina won't interact with you anymore is if you have scorned her.
Question, does this mean one no longer needs to create multiple save character dedicated for each Domina, characters with certain personality from the choices at the start of the game. Personality that make ones character compatible with certain Domina by choices in dialogs.
I'm going to go into this more in a different post most likely. I'm ultimately considering just scrapping the personality system, it doesn't add that much to the game normal dialogue choices can't do and it can lock you out of romance content simply because you chose the wrong personality traits without knowing. I might put it to a poll.
So all the dominas will now know I am a Rosita simp? Hell yeah! All jokes aside I actually really like the sound of that system.
