. . . and a lot of other stuff that may piss you off. It is called TABOO Valley
There will be no nude or sexual images of any kind. There will be SFW profile pics, GUI elements, and that's it for graphics.
All extreme options will be able to be turned off. You will NEVER have to see anything that you aren't interested in . . . wait, I can't promise that.
Now that I have chased those away that might not approve . . . my concept:
The story begins in the small California town of Tabba Valley (Taboo Valley when the kids are being "clever"). Tabba Valley is a medium town nestled between the suburbs of the city of Los Pechos (de Dios) and rural southern California. You play a member of the Simmons family; a large, upper middle class family. You will be able to choose which family member you wish to play. The game will be significantly different for each character, some easier and some harder. The different characters will also appeal to different styles of play.
Each character in the game will have three attributes which range from 1-10. The attributes are Body, Mind, and Spirit. Body reflects your characters physical prowess. Mind reflects your characters knowledge and can limit what options appear. Spirit reflects your character's social skills. The Simmons family (as the only playable characters) also have an attribute cap that ranges from 2-10. The player can increase their attributes and attribute caps through gameplay. Attributes cannot be raised beyond their current cap. Actions taken in the game have a chance of success or failure based on the comparison of the relevant attributes of the player and the target, with a random element factored in.
NPCs (Including the family members that you did not choose to play) will have two meters, one indicating your dominance over them, and one indicating the amount of trust that you share. These range from 0 -10. NPCs that your character knows will have an initial value, everyone else will start at 0. You can gain dominance and trust through actions in the game. Some PCs can only affect one or the other, for instance Jack is too nice of a guy to assert his dominance, and Darian is a cruel asshole who could care less about cultivating trust. The higher your trust and/or dominance the more options that will be available in the story.

- Added 7 new filters to the Content Filter: Elderly Sex, Pregnancy, Interspecies Pregnancy, Unbirthing, Cum Play, Necrophilia, and Anal Sex
- Converted the Attribute Modifier Passages into Widgets.
- Converted Conflict Macro into a Widget.
- Rewrote Conflicts to fit new Widget.
- Restructured Conflict Reward / Penalties to vary based on the difference in attributes of the characters involved. The bigger the difference the more risk / reward.
- Wrote four Widgets to modify Trust and Domination.
- Modified the Trust gain and loss code in the Michael story to use above Widgets.
- Remade all the character portraits for the new system where names and portraits are separate, and changed Lilly’s portrait image for a better one.
- Restructured the Character Selection Page to the new system and made it more graphical.
- Rebuilt Know Associate’s page for the new system, complete with variable number of columns for people with different monitor resolutions.
- Rebuilt the sidebar into a button based system instead of text based to save on space. It should allow for a very compact sidebar if needed. Be sure to read the new “How to Play” entry for further details.
- Wrote a new “How to Play” passage for the new User Interface.
- Added a Credits page (click the “by Taboo Valley Team” link under the title and version#).

- Wrote up an exposition page (the page that tells you a bit more about the character) for Lilly’s story.
- Placed two new passages for Melody thanks to MisterH.
- Placed three new passages for Michael thanks to Leilanz. (Have the Gay Sex filter on if you want to see it all. Also Brad is a little more challenging than Jenny and there is no passage for a failure, so you might want to cheat your stats up to make sure you see everything.)
- Added a rinky-dink transition passage to Michael’s story to tie one of Leilanz’s passages back to the others.
- Added passages for Michael’s Exposition and Game Play passages.
