Discipline Delivered Game Mechanics (Part 2)
🕑 Added 2023-05-24 00:01:33 +0000 UTCHey again people. So continuing on from my post yesterday I wanted to divulge more info about the planned shop/upgrade system. For those of you who have ever been employees of large corporations, you might know that a lot of them have these dumb little point systems which is used for cases of good performance where a reward is in order, but they skirt around giving actual cash bonuses and instead give points which you can use on typically mediocre rewards like a coffee mug or gym membership coupons.
I liked the idea of having such a system in place in the game to further add to the dull, bureaucratic, theme of the world the player operates in. So I made it that completing any job will earn you Performance Points (PP) which you can spend in the in-game shop. Naturally better performance in a spanking will give you more PP, and the same goes for harder/more intense spankings. I have several ideas for possible items you'll be able to purchase with these points, and I've been brainstorming up more gradually as I worked on the game thus far.
One of the first and obvious ideas was the different implements. You'd start out only able to do hand spankings, and would gradually unlock and afford the other 3. Another idea I had was upgrading the motor/power source of the robot to unlock higher intensity jobs. You would start with only being able to do Pink and Red level jobs, but after the first upgrade you unlock Crimson and the second/last upgrade unlocks Blue. Two other big ideas I had for purchasable items were robot designs and personality cores. The designs are pretty self explanatory, as they would just change the appearance of the spanking robot you control. These designs will also be more detailed and unique than just color swaps, I have ideas for a steampunkish styled robot and another styled like classic Megaman designs. The personality cores will be another interesting option, as they will change the text from the robot during spanking scenes when they talk to the spankee. The default core is a fairly bland and robotic sounding personality, but with the core options you can choose for your robot to behave how you'd like, in case you want a more docile or more aggressive personality during the spankings given.
I hope the idea sounds fun to all of you so far, the shop will be a part of the next released update when I get it out, so it'll be fairly soon that you'll see it in action.
