Dev Update 0.7.x - The Frat Houses Are Coming
Hey everyone!
I wanted to share a little preview of one of the biggest systems currently in development for NSFW: National School for Wealth & Fuckery: the Frat House System.
For a long time, I've been looking for a way to make the school feel more alive and give players meaningful long-term goals beyond simply making money and climbing the rankings. After a lot of planning, writing, and prototyping, I think I've finally found the right direction.
The result is the introduction of the Four Houses.
Unlike traditional college fraternities, these Houses are powerful student organizations, each with their own philosophy, leadership, activities, rewards, and opportunities.
From the very beginning of the game, you'll be able to visit their headquarters, meet their leaders, and decide whether you want to join their ranks.
🖤 House Eros
"Hearts. Minds. Legs. All open."
Led by Zoe, House Eros focuses on social influence, relationships, networking, popularity, and charm.
Members can participate in exclusive social events, parties, matchmaking activities, and other opportunities designed to expand their influence across campus.
💰 House Vult
"Everyone's for sale."
House Vult believes everything has a price.
Focused on wealth, deals, favors, and information brokerage, Vult members are always looking for their next opportunity to turn a profit.
If money talks, Vult is listening.
☢️ House Nihil
"The system fears us. Good."
The rebels.
The troublemakers.
The students who refuse to play by the rules.
House Nihil specializes in secrets, rumors, manipulation, scandals, and shaking up the campus status quo.
🐂 House Ox
"Win. Or be made an example of."
House Ox respects strength above all else.
Competition, discipline, dominance, and victory are the foundations of everything they do.
If you're not winning, you're falling behind.
More Than Just A Faction Choice
Joining a House won't simply be a one-time decision.
Each House will feature:
Unique initiation events
House-specific activities
Exclusive perks and bonuses
House progression and ranks
Special NPC interactions
New story opportunities
New ways to earn money, reputation, influence, and rewards
The goal is to give players a long-term progression path that lasts throughout the entire game while also encouraging multiple playthroughs.
Seasonal House Competitions
One feature I'm especially excited about is the concept of a Seasonal House Competition.
Every House will compete for points throughout the season.
By participating in House activities and completing House objectives, you'll contribute to your House's standing on a campus-wide leaderboard.
The better your House performs, the greater the rewards.
This system is still being designed, but I want it to become a major part of the school's identity and a reason for players to feel proud of the House they represent.
The Foundation Is Already Being Built
Some of you have already seen previews of the Wall of Honor system.
What started as a way to recognize supporters has evolved into a much larger framework that can also support House leaderboards, seasonal rankings, records, achievements, and other future features.
In many ways, the Frat House system is helping shape several other systems that will be used throughout the game.
Still A Work In Progress
As always, everything shown here is subject to adjustment while I continue testing and writing content.
My current focus is making sure each House feels unique and offers a different gameplay experience rather than simply being a different color of the same content.
I want your choice of House to matter.
I'd love to hear what you think!
Which House would your character join right now?
