Good to know, and I'll give it a shot, but honestly if I remove that there wont be much left. That's sort of what I was alluding to.Heya, ntentacle! Feel free to remove the softcore content if you like
In the Settings menu, you can reduce the number of strokes required (you can even disable stroke requests altogether). Furthermore, you will not be punished for skipping stroke requests; these are handled on an honor system. If you run while a trial video is playing, their favor value drops, but there is no punishment beyond that.
And I get the point that this game is supposed to be moddable, and you're not providing the game, just the framework, but realistically speaking that's not going to happen.
Your average user is not going to scrape PMVs of of tube sites, transcode them into Webm format (which could take hours, considering most good ones are 60+ minutes long), split them into clips, and then put them into the game files. Realistically speaking people are gonna play with what's here. And what's here is 90+ percent softcore.

I understand your meaning, and I recognize that I cannot (or should not) expect everyone to provide their own content.
You also address the meat of the matter; I am here to provide the framework, which was the original plan... but I'm not going to play that card just yet. More hardcore is as simple as it gets.
I agree with you that the content needs more rounding out, and I will address it right away. Thank you for taking the time to elaborate on your concerns.

Yeah, I didn't have any plans to go into actual specific stats or anything, I just wanted to have a level. I guess in that case, it was more like a "level", a number that goes up to go down lol. It was for the sensation that the succubi are actually draining something from you, since that sort of thing was the type of scenario that I wanted. It's something I've seen in a few hentai games before, but those games weren't very good. The art sucked, the gameplay sucked, and none of it was quite what I wanted. The same dilemma you had with JOI games where you liked the concept but nobody did it quite right is the dilemma I have with succubi level drain games, so that's why I want to make this mod. There's also some niche stuff that I personally want. I was thinking of adding some options in the tavern menu, where you could basically sexually harass the women at the bar, and you would inadvertently give them some of your levels doing so. Then, after they absorb those levels, they would essentially get corrupted and power hungry, and start acting like succubi themselves. So you see, it's like you hoist yourself by your own petard, and turn the nice ladies at the tavern who just wanted to help you succeed as a hero into bewitching succubi (figuratively) who want to drain you and take advantage of you. It's the sort of "level drain" situation that I like myself, making a female npc/monster who's weak normally much stronger by indulging yourself, then that formerly weak npc/monster comes to collect even more now that you can't fight her.
As for the mod itself, I did make some decent progress, and I do think that I can get it working. As you said though, I probably will wait for some more updates to actually seriously try to get it to work, just so I don't have to keep uprooting myself. Either that, or I'll just update the mod as you update the game lol

Agreeing with your sentiment, ntentacle, this is exactly what I did. I spent a weekend or two to download some good cockhero clips from spankbang, cut them up and converted to webm for use in my Imager App adventure mode. So I will now share it here for all to use:

Note that this is just something I tried and I liked how it turned out in-game, but they could be improved. This was just to see what design rules I should follow in the future. Lemme know what you guys think of them. I will be lurking this thread for the foreseeable future anyway, following the development of this game.

Your mod ideas are really cool! I don't see any major conflicts further down the road either. Furthermore, town PCs will be as simple to add as enemies in the future, so adding corruptible girls to the tavern shouldn't be too difficult.
I, too, enjoy a good level drain scenario and am interested to see what you have in store.

I downloaded and converted a couple of long ones the other day.
Out of curiousity what video editing software did you use to split it up into clips? I converted a really solid 2 hour one into webm the other night, but I'm not up to date on what free/freemium video editing options are good right now.

The only formatting thing I would suggest is to list the video that are associated with the link so that others can create lists and avoid duplicating your hard work. Thank you for sharing Kealan!!!

, it's free and works well for cutting up stuff I find. Others in the Venus's Club girl packs thread also use it and have recommended other software if you're interested or don't find Shotcut cuts it.I think I didn't change much in the filenames of the clips with respect to the downloaded file, so they should be findable.
Just to check I did just that so this is the current list of clips I downloaded from spankbang (and Milovana) and converted to IA2 rounds:

Yeah that's the same thing I'm usually seeking in level drain games. I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Phew... Well, after a great amount of effort, mostly spent learning, I've got some slight semblance of progress to show. It's really, really rough, and what I'm posting is just the code that I've written, with some notes on what I'm working and stuck on, as well as where each line I've written goes. Now, this is NOT finished, not even close. Even calling it a tech demo feels a stretch, but it's something that almost works decently well as a tech demo, so I'm posting it for the promised update on progress.
Overall, the features it has that actually work are:
-Levels
-Experience
-Spirit gain that is altered by levels (the amount of spirit you get goes up based on your level, right now it's really high, but it'll be rebalanced later.)
-Levels are a separate mode, toggled at the start of a new game (it's toggled the same way hero mode is)
And that's it for now. Yeah, pretty ramshackle, huh? I could probably technically implement the draining right away, but it would also be pretty barebones for a while. I did write some dialogue for it, just for when you cum, which I'll also be posting, but it's unimplemented for now, I'll still be working on the systems themselves for a little while. My coding is probably barely up to scratch, so progress will be slow going, and your game will probably run real slow if you try to get it up and running right now, but it's what I've got for now. I'll be working on it these next few days, if anybody who actually knows how to code has some suggestions, then feel free to message me or just reply.
PS, I saved the code and dialogue in .rpy files, just use a text editor to open them, in case you didn't know. Once this mod is actually working, I'll probably upload it in a sort of DIY fashion, with the snippets of code plus where to put them in a file, and you just add them to your game's copy of adventure.rpy.
Peace.

Heya! This looks really fun so far.
I just read your code, and thanks to all the notes you left, I was able to come up with a few suggestions.
First, let me say that you're off to a beautiful start. You've made use of the defaults before trying to use them in your code. (Nice!)
I'm not sure if you're code is different than what you posted, but the defaults that you created aren't in an init block:
Python:
init:
default level_mode = False
default player_experience = 0
default player_level = 1
default level_threshold = 30About leveling up...
To implement a level system, one must wield the
while loopUsing a while loop, it doesn't matter how much exp you get, python will keep adding levels while you meet the requirements.
Example:
Python:
python:
exp += 40 # gained 40 exp from the fight
while exp > 20: # if exp is greater than 20, you level up!
exp -= 20 # if level up, reduce exp by 20
level += 1 # add the levelHowever, you stated you had an issue wrapping your mind around the threshold for leveling up.
The key here isn't to adjust the threshold, but to create a threshold that works in any situation.
So instead taking
level_threshold *= 1.2, use level_threshold = player_level * 1.2This way, the threshold will increase/decrease depending on the players level (and infinitely)
In your case, you want the threshold to start at 30 and increase by 20% per level:
level_threshold = 30 * (1 + ((player_level - 1) * .2))And thus:
Python:
python:
def LevelUp(experience_gained):
global player_experience
global level_threshold # now a base number to balance the game (NOT LOCAL)
global player_level
player_experience += experience_gained
# establish the threshold for leveling up
local_level_threshold = level_threshold * (1 + ((player_level - 1) * .2))
# level up while experience is greater than the threshold
while player_experience > local_level_threshold:
# reduce the exp that was required to level up
player_experience -= local_level_threshold
# increase the level
player_level += 1
# re-calculate the threshold for leveling up
local_level_threshold = level_threshold * (1 + ((player_level - 1) * .2))Your code should look something like this:
Python:
python:
# no need for the variable level_payout, just make the payout what you want
if level_mode:
payout = LevelPayout()
# now the existing code is working for you already
if not image_skipped:
enemies_fed += 1
total_enemies_fed += 1
days_since_last_fed[enemy_key] = 0
times_fed[enemy_key] += 1
spirit += payout
# if the function I wrote is used, it will add player experience on its own and level the player up if necessary
if not image_skipped and level_mode:
LevelUp(experience_earned)If you intend on keeping the previous payout AND apply LevelPayout(), just use
+= instead of =.

Ah, thanks so much, man! I actually got every other part of the things you mentioned ironed out for the most part, but the level up formula had me completely stuck. I actually had implemented a while loop, though it was a nested while cause I didn't quite know how it worked, but it was still a bad formula in the end. It would freeze the game whenever it called the LevelUp function lol. With this, I've gotten much more done and dusted. From here on, I just have to iron out the leveling balance, so that you earn levels decently well but not too fast. I got most of the draining stuff set up, but I want to tweak it a little, as I want it to be repeatable. Basically, you can get your level drained by the succubi till level 1, then they start draining spirit. Once you implement dying, I'll work the spirit draining into that in some way. I also want to rework the deals the succubi make, cause the spice ones already are rendered moot by the way I change spice in level mode.
By the way, I made it so that experience gain is a separate function, as having it as one function gave me the issue of leveling the player up during the encounter with the succubi, which I thought would interfere with the draining part. Specifically, the player would get exp and level up during the CH part, but weirdly only if the exp earned was enough to cross the threshold. I've already fixed that issue by making the game check for a level up only during the menu after succubi encounters. That aside, I also made it so that different enemy personalities gave different exp amounts. I'll post the code once I have some more stuff done, probably tomorrow or some time this week or the next.

That sounds awesome. I've been trying to make it where the player can die in peace for a while now, but it turns out there's so much that goes into it! Hopefully we can see it in the game after the next patch.
As for leveling up during the encounter. I suspected you would make a variable like the payout,
experience_earned perhaps, and apply it using a function after the encounter if not image_skipped. No matter, as long as you get those levels up so they can be drained once again, everyone will be happy

Hey everybody, sorry for the radio silence. I'm still working on the mod, it's mostly done. Funnily enough, I started working on it with the desire to write the porn part, and the coding was an obstacle in the way of doing that. Ironically, I've mostly ironed out the coding parts, at the least I'm much more confident when it comes to it now, but I'm now stuck when it comes to the writing of the dialogue that I started out wanting to make. I don't know when I'll be up to working on it again, I've been stuck cause of a lack of motivation, but I won't leave you guys hanging for too long. Just thought I'd come in and make it clear that I didn't toss the project into a dustbin and left it there, it's still on my mind, and I'll try to get a proper version out soon enough.
