(Game)Harem Builder: Contests part 1

Hello everyone, this week's update is a bit different than the previous ones as I'll be introducing something you most likely have been waiting for: the contests. This update contains quite a lot of explanation so if you're not interested into reading, just look at the pictures XD.


What are the contests?

They're a special type of "fights" where you goal is to score as many points as you can. The more points you have, the more gold, exp and affinity you'll earn. You can also earn special underwears by scoring a big amount of points but I highly doubt you'll be able to score enough without some serious training ;p.


What's the point of these contests?

Like I said above, you can earn various rewards, but these contests are the best way to build up your relationship with your harem. You will only earn affinity points with the members you're using for the contest. By raising your affinity with your harem, you may earn new moves but also special CGs with the characters.


Where and when are they available?

Once per night (Day and night cycles will be explained in a later update) you can go to an arena. Two arenas will be available when I launch the game, 1 in the castle town and the other in the sci-fi town.


Is there a difference between the arenas?

Aside from the looks of it, yes. There is one difference and that's the judge taking care of the contest. Judges will change every day and there are 5 judges total. A generalist (Likes any type of sex moves), a romantist (Likes romance kinds of moves), an hardocre judge (I guess the name talks for itself lol), an expert (Likes complex positions) or a specialist (Likes moves that will surprise him like magic, monsters, etc.) 1 of these five judges will appear in the arena in both. The judge will never duplicate meaning that you can't have the generalist judge in both arenas at the same time.

Talking about judges, you guys asked me to keep the original main character I first made so here's one of the duty I gave him:

He's the generalist judge who'll like anything you throw at him. I also have other plans for him, but you'll have a chance to encounter him when going to a contest ;p.


How does the "fight" works?

The actual "fight" works like a turn based battle. However, all the commands were changed and so are the rules. To make it simple, you have a total of ten turns to put on the best performance you can and score as much points as you can. You can end the fight early by using the main character's special skill. Or you can simply give up. However, by giving up, you lose all the points you made so far.

On the image above, the characters have 3 bars, Energy, AP, and pleasure. The goal here is to do as many moves as you can without reaching 0 energy or filling up the pleasure bar. If you reach 0 energy, your character becomes exhausted and has to step out. If your character's pleasure bar is filled out too soon, you will be forced to perform a finisher, making the character orgasm and his energy will fully deplete. To score a maximum number of points, you have to fill out the pleasure bar towards the end of the fight and perform a finisher. Finishers are the move that grant the most points, but as said above, they also deplete your character's energy.

Items are usable to either reduce pleasure, replenish energy or AP. AP are your action points, using a move will deplete both your action points and energy, you have to watch out for both, if your character reaches 0 AP he won't be able to act but that's where the main character comes in as he's the only one who can give out AP to any character he wants but only 1 at a time.

As for the moves themselves, they will all be animated! There are 4 types of moves, romantic(or standard if you will), hardcore (like bondage and stuff), expert positions (hard to pull off positions) and special moves. Each character has a special affinity with a certain group of these moves. Link for example, is a specialist, while Souma is more of a romantic while Corrin is an expert. I'm planning to make Sora either a romantic or specialist and the next character I'll be revealing in probably 2 weeks will be hardcore. 

On top of their affinity, each character has its own favorite standard position. This favorite position serves as a standard finisher for the character, but also, the character's pleasure will go up faster when doing that position. For example, Link's favorite is the warrior reversed position as show below.

Even though there are other things to talk about, I'll stop here for this week, but I'll be sure to show you the other judges later as well as the other arena once I make it. I'll be sure to work hard on making other moves but I'll also keep a few ones under wraps so you have some surprises when the game lauches ;p.

For next week, I'll be introducing yet another "mechanic" of the game. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments below, I hope you're looking forward to it!

(The contests are really hot once put into action lol.)
