You are debilitatingly aroused, and can think of doing nothing other than masturbating.

In Corruption of Champions, reaching 100% Lust while not in battle disables travel you're stuck in camp until you fap it off. In battle, it triggers a loss rape. This works because CoC has a travel system like that, and distinct explore/battle modes (even though they use the same UI)

In Noxico, with its roguelike "battle and explore are the same thing" deal, it's not that clear what should happen when its counterpart to Lust, Stimulation, reaches 100%.

One option I can think of is to slow down (or maybe even incapacitate) the player, retaining the ability to masturbate. An interested hostile would be more inclined to pick rape over attack, simulating that thing where you go into battle in CoC with high Lust and the first and only move the opponent makes raises it to 100%.

But what if this happens in a town, from brushing past one too many attractive but non-hostile NPCs? Where do we go from the slowdown?

I'm thinking, depending on the town's culture, it could be okay to masturbate in public? Or probably just somewhere you're spotted... If it's not okay, another question is raised: what happens when you're caught?

I think max stimulation in a town could work like this:

Case 1:
I think if the PC has (a penis) and (they have clothes over the naughty bits) and (appendages) then they should have the option to attempt to "cover it up." Success chance decreases if they don't have opposable thumbs and further decreases if they don't have digits and even further decreases if they don't have "arms".

Case 2:
If the PC has (no clothes over the naughty bits but has appendages) or (a cloak to cover themselves with and a penis) then they should take a speed detriment or an interaction detriment, their choice.

Case 3:
No clothes and no appendages just means NPC interaction detriment, no option. (Although they could take pity, depending upon your relationship with individuals in the town.)

I think stimulation should go down with time, however, to make it more realistic, unless they are cursed somehow.

I think there also could be a mechanic by which clothes get stains on them from bodily fluids as well. So if you have a vagina you could "ruin" clothes or if you get raped by too many imps, etc.

Of course arousal should increase the chance that NPC/monsters should get disgusted/turned on (as one could argue they are one and the same) so the attractedness to the PC should also come into account as to whether they will be disgusted/turned on:

<pre>If (caught)
{
If ((Like > 90) && acceptable && exibitionism)
{
Turned On -> Sex Scene right there; Like++
}
Elseif((Like < 50) && acceptable && exibitionism)
{
Turned On - 50% -> Sex Scene right there; Like++
Don't Care - 50% -> See PC, but leave
}
ETC.
}</pre>

Whether or not it is acceptable could be determined by taking the average of everyone in the town's exhibitionism then applying that to everyone or just taking it on an individual's basis. Depends upon how you wanna implement it.

Interesting idea. Here's one I came up with:

Give each town board a guard NPC. When a villager spots the player in a compromising position, they call for a guard (assuming correct cultural standings) who then goes after you. If they catch you, it's a fight or a fine. This means that to safely masturbate (and thus reset your Stimulation to zero) you have to find a spot where no NPCs can see you (except for perhaps your lover(s) and other followers)

This could also apply to public nudity in addition to masturbation, with adequately adjusted approval.

Thus, in a civil situation, here's how a non-guard, non-follower NPC might react:
• Seen naked: NPC facepalms, might call you out on it and perhaps like you a bit less.
• Seen naked and horny: NPC facepalms, probably calls you out OR calls for a guard.
• Seen naked and overstimulated: NPC definitely calls for a guard.
• Seen masturbating: same as above.

There's another part, as it were, to this idea. But that'd complicate the scene system somewhat. That idea is to have an amount of time pass between scene windows, depending on the amount of text in said window (by reducing the participants' energy counters) and thus allowing NPCs to catch you in flagrante delicto, but this would mean time visibly passes between scene windows. Unless it's something special like a dream.

Kinda like The Elder Scrolls series with their guards. Haha, if the PC is good enough at sneaking around then they might be able to masturbate almost in public and no one would notice. :LOL:

Exactly! The only thing stopping you would be that all characters have 360° vision :ninja:
