Okay, there is way too much response to the comment I made, so I'll quote a bit less here. Also, put in spoilers.

Ivan-Aedler Wrote:QuizmasterBos Wrote:Yeah and I strive to protect this game's clarity. There will be no 'press buttons to escape' sequences in this game. If you touch an enemy, it's going to rape you, simple as that.
Let's not put this in the game. It doesn't make it more fun, it deters from it.
No, Quiz, thats not how things work.
'I dont want it because its not funny' isnt a good explanation, sorry man.
My initial plan was to use buttons to escape. And 'old desires' are almost in AINCHE soul, that is, if I got that far, is because I was thinking of adding escape function later. Its like a carrot in a fishpole. I ran so far, adding so many features, in order to eat it later. People need to really convince me, then.
So I'm still thinking about it. BUT. If we can make Peach kiss a given enemy (by the circustances, AS A BUTTON FOR THE PLAYER TO SELECT, so NOT FORCED), she can kiss and get away provided its in the 'restraining' phase. If the player presses space to go to the 'main meal', no way to kiss. More to be brainstormed.
And to be clear: restraining/embarassing start-ups ARE expected. So she will say: nooo, help me, etc, and you can try to escape. If Peach is 'a slut of the day' or a 'whore', NOW we are talking. Peach wont be doing that or trying to escape anymore.
As Darthan said, I didn't mean funny, I meant that it's mostly just aggravating. I hated that part in Shinobi Girl as well as in any other game. It's similar to a "Quick! Press the 'A' button within 0.3 seconds or you lose" mechanic. That's not what this game needs. It needs a good challenge that requires platforming skill to avoid, not a trigger finger.
GeraldMason Wrote:Not to overstep my boundaries, Quiz, but it would be worth keeping in mind that this is a bit of a community project. If anyone were to make a call like that, I think it'd be Ivan.
I personally think the escape function could work, especially considering a poorly-timed or accidental jump could lead to the entire virgin run being sullied. It gives a fair chance to still get out of the mess unscathed and continue onwards.
Though I think the ease of escape should be decided by the enemy's size. Like a Goomba/Koopa, easily enough could be overpowered. Morton on the other hand? I'm not so sure.
I agree that Ivan makes the last call, but I am trying to tell him that some ideas in his mind might not be as good as he thinks they are.
And do we really need that extra chance? Don't forget that Peach is still a virgin as long as she is not penetrated, plus the first few scenes will never be penetrative. So I think the game gives you enough protection as is.
Ivan-Aedler Wrote:As for LARRY scenes. I want him to have a bit of 'childlish mind', as he was a kind of silly kid in the original games. Thatguy45 wants to help, providing sub scene sketches for me to analyse. And Quiz, of course, is the man to check this, in order not to deviate from original Larry. But again, we DONT NEED to use only personalities the game shows, mostly if they have no detailed personalities (e.g. they're obscure or the creators just didnt create it). So we CAN detail it more or create side personalities. Example: 'Larry has a childlish mind, loves his step father (Bowser) and he likes to use his scepter'. We can say that he measures his dick with his scepter every day and he sometimes hides from his step father, for example, WITHOUT impacting his personality.
All the kids were silly, silly. All the kids are pretty much blank slates, so there is a lot of room for our own ideas here. I think we need to get our base from the character designs. They usually give us a slight hint as to what they represent more or less.
By the way, have you ever heard the theory that the koopalings each resemble one of the deadly sins? Sloth, Greed, Envy, Pride, Gluttony, Wrath and Lust.
And someone even made a picture.
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
But the most interesting here is the description.
Spoiler (click to show/hide):
Lemmy as Sloth: i probably wouldn't actually consider Lemmy lazy - but out of all of the Koopas, he's the one most likely to slack off.
Larry as Greed: greedy, sleazy little tyke, Larry. it's been stated that he likes to steal money from his family members.
Ludwig as Wrath: it's stated that Ludwig is the cruelest of them all, possibly more so than his father. while i'm not too happy with the actual picture of him, i can't deny his awesomeness, whether he'd be the bad guy of the story, or just the older brother annoyed by his siblings.
Wendy as Lust: must i explain? it would be extremely awkward if anybody else was this role.
Morton as Gluttony: while i've never actually heard anything about him having a love for food, he seemed most fit for the role. plus there was nowhere else to really put him
Iggy as Envy: god only knows what Iggy's jealous of. perhaps how he's obsolete to his family members in just about every way. or maybe how Ludwig just seems to beat him in every category one could think of. whatever it is, he doesn't look too happy.
Roy as Pride: no, not gay pride. just pride in general. Roy seems to think that he's superior to each of his siblings, and that no one can touch him.
And reading this, there ARE some facts about the Koopalings. However, the fact stated about Larry is only unofficial; It was seen in the adventures of SMB3, a cartoon.
Larry, however, is according to Mario wiki:
-Interested in sports
- Yet has little stamina (even Ludwig has more)
- Looking up to Bowser in a manner that borders fanaticism (meaning he would have pictures of him lying everywhere around his room, wants to spend a lot of time with him, idolizes him and tries to do everything that seems right in Bowser's opinion)
The other Koopalings will come later.

Anyway, this is my first time posting something here on this forum and seeing that you guys are in need of some help, why not let this noob help out some? After all I got plenty of writing skills under my belt (granted I do have some grammar problems) and I do have some skills in drawing.
Hi, welcome to LoK.
You want to help out with the script? You may. However, there are some rules we'd like you to follow:
- Please do not make a script without asking us first to avoid double work
- Keep in character
- Don't make it too long
- Try to avoid making redundant lines
- Space out everything nicely. When a different character
says a new line,
put it on a new line.
So not like this:
Peach: Oh! I am being used for an example? That seems like fun.
Quiz: Yes, but this is an example on how we don't prefer it.
But like this:Peach: Is this the correct way?
Quiz: Yes, We'd like to see the lines written in this manner.
- When an animation happens, put it between asterisks (these things: *) so it becomes easier to see.
- When you are done writing up a script, send it to me via PM if you will. I will then check it, edit it where needed and will send it back to you so you can review it yourself. When we both are happy with the outcome, I'll notify Ivan.
Any questions?
