299 - One Of Those Posts.
This will be one of those short, proof-of-life posts. Sorry bros. It was a long day and IRL stuff got me really exhausted. I just downed two cups of coffee to make sure my brain functions at least a little bit while I type this.
The work. I've finished working on the Muscle Men Contest. The plan was to work on Wives Beauty Pageant next but I decided to change the plan. I will be dedicating this week to working on Happy New Year event. This was something I was avoiding to work on for quite some time now. This is supposed to be a memorable event since it will signify the end of the year. At the same time it should be repeatable, with different variations depending on how many (and which) wives you have at that moment, with some sort of ultimate celebration unlocking only with a full harem. To be honest with you I am still not sure how I want to do this... If you have any ideas, suggestions or examples from other games let me know.
In the meantime I started working on some art assets (see pic above), sometimes it's easier to think when my hands are busy drawing. I want to create a drawing of Genie relaxing with all his wives after the New Year's orgy. Despite me not being sure how exactly I will be showing this event, I know that I want to finish it with this picture saying "Marital duty complete" or something. Anyway, this week I hope to do a lot of drawing and planning. Next Monday I will be able to at least show of some new WIPs if nothing else.
Well, that's that. I feel like the coffee is strting to wear off, so I better wrap this up before it's too late. Thank you for your support guys. I will see you next week.

Nice
^^
Next week it'll be post number 300! Amazing!!!
Just so you know I have no extra celebration plans. :)
One can imagine that the celebration would be an opportunity for people to get together, share their stories and celebrate the passing of the old year and the beginning of the new. So the scene could be illustrated with a CG showing (rather like the feast at the end of every Asterix comic book) the genie, his X wives, and all the game's secondary protagonists (guards, bazaar vendors, masters of ceremonies. ...) gathered around a large table drinking, eating and even dancing (it would always be the same image, with places left empty until the genie is married to such-and-such a woman or has met such-and-such a protagonist). Then, just before the countdown to the New Year, the genie would choose the woman or women with whom he wished to spend the New Year in private. Again, this would be a unique illustration, with zones left empty depending on the people the genie chose to accompany him.
Hm... To tell you the truth I like the idea with the feast... Having only the girls for the feast is what I am thinking right now, but having extra characters there sounds so wholesome T_T Dammit, the more I think about it, the more I want to do a feast illustration like that. Having more and more people there every year would be so damn cool.
I will just wish you much sleep and many good dreams to inspire you, you sound like you need it!
Trevor, honestly, you know exactly what I need. Thanks :)

You are sneaky.
That’s an interesting game design question. Obviously as glorious as it would be, it’s not an optimal use of time to do N^N permutations of art for each possible waifu combination. I have a few decent ideas on ways to approach this: 1. A many layered CG scene where each character has a spot and once they are in the harem they fill that spot. While the one scene itself will end up pretty complex, it’s probably the least work overall. This is both the simplest and one that gives you the “gotta catch ‘em all” motivation. But it does feel a little less special especially for the first year when you probably only have one. 2. #1 for every year after the first plus one unique CG for whoever their first (or first additional) harem member is in the first year. I’m not sure how long in the game it would take to add a member though so if it’s possible/probable you’re adding more than one then you probably need to go to #3. 3. “The two part porno.” You have one base scene where there’s a party/orgy that is populated by each waifu as they’re collected, followed by one unique CG/scene for each waifu and you have Genie pick which one to end the night’s celebrations with. Makes it fun to try someone new each year so adds some length/replayability. 4. Play test it and guess what the most popular combinations are going to be for the first 2-3 years and make unique CGs for those, but have #1’s many layered scene as a backup. This has a replayability benefit/drawback to it though, since it could be quite a bit of work to experience all the scenes. 5. Probably in addition to #1… Have one unique scene per waifu for the first year you add them, and Genie of course with his stamina can chain them back to back if needed. You could have it as a sort of “final initiation/celebration” Basically I’m thinking you want to keep it to 1 CG x N(waifus) permutations, or at most that 1 master CG + N CGs, one for each waifu. That keeps this from blowing up the amount of work to do.
Cool ideas. Let's discuss this some more then. The thing you suggested with a layered CG did cross my mind. The problem is I only see this working for an "after sex" CG. For the sex scene itself I just don't see how I can do this well. That is the main problem actually, the actual group sex scene itself for 6 girls + Genie would be difficult enough to write and illustrate, but we are talking about a context reactive scene. There are no limitations in the game on which girl you are allowed to pursue first and that presents a big problem. Also whatever solution I decide to go with at the end I want it to be an elegant one. Last thing I need is a messy code with too many variables which will be hard to test properly and could cause immersion braking bugs later. Just so that you know I read your suggestions thoroughly several times. But the way I want to try and do this (at least right now) is as follows: I want to give the player an option to "plan the New Year party", giving an option to choose as many guests as the player wants. This means, if your harem has zero girls you can celebrate alone (or not at all). Afterwards when you have more girls under your command you will be able to add more. The party would start with a dinner. The girls will be sitting at the table (your layered CG basically). Coding, writing and illustrating this will take a bit of effort, but it's pretty straightforward stuff. Second phase of the celebration will be sex on the roof while waiting for the fireworks. At this point it will be just sex scene after sex scene with each girl, with the player selecting the order and the final girl getting the happy ending. Having party with all 6 of your wives will result in an extra CG with Genie and the girls watching the fireworks together, exhausted but happy. Having 1x1 sex scenes one after another is not exactly an orgy, but that is the only way I can see pulling this off at the moment. What do you think?
No worry, we all have hard days, hope even if exhausted everything went well, the update sounds awesome, so keep it up!
Thank you Ace, you are truly are the best :)
Wow, what a sexy animation!
I know, right?! ^^
