Months ago, when I first announced that I was working on this other game, I described its origins: that I originally used it as a "sandbox" for developing and testing new features for In Her Own Hands. Once I started to play with the idea of changing perspectives----without really knowing where that feature could be used in IHOH----the story of In Their Own Hands began to develop.
This month's poll brings it back full-circle. Of the different features that appear in ITOH but not yet IHOH, which ones should be transferred over? You can vote for any or all of these features. Please also feel free to leave more extensive comments or suggest other features. You can vote for more than one if you want.
The poll will close on Friday just before midnight.
A little bit of explanation on the options:
- Currently, Shaun and Bobby are in very specific rooms at very specific times. Scarlet is only in the apartment at very specific times, doing very specific things. This option would have all three moving around a bit more randomly during certain times. They will still be where they need to be for certain time-based "events," but when they don't really need to be anywhere in particular, they will be able to move around the way the wife and Brian do in ITOH.
- Currently, once Becca (IHOH player-character) goes from foreplay to intercourse in a "CumPoints"-based sex scene, there's no going back. Meaning, for example, that once Becca has started to have sex with, say, Bobby, it's impossible for them to briefly switch back to oral and then back to sex. This would make that possible. Pros: it could prolong the scene by allowing the CumPoints to increase in a one-sided way (the foreplay "recipient") rather than both of them. Cons: it could occasionally mean that changes made in between foreplay and sex would be reversed, creaing an inconsistency in the media, such as clothes that had been removed reappearing, etc.
- Currently, there is an option to see limited "tutorial" text at the beginning and via a button in the sidebar. This change would have any necessary "how to" tutorial text appear in a "pop-up" the first time a feature is accessed. (Something similar to the current Day 1 pop-up or the first time you leave the apartment pop-up in ITOH.) This would probably also have a button at the beginning to either turn the feature on or off.
- Currently, the CumPoints increase based on a strictly random number of points. The game also tracks Becca's sexual preferences. This feature would use the preferences to adjust the CumPoints.
- Currently, Becca can cum more than once, but this doesn't change anything. The new feature allows her to be multi-orgasmic, meaning that every time she has an orgasm it is easier to have another one (within the same scene).
