[Patreon] Build 81 - "The Scar (pt1)"

Howdy, Cadets!

This build adds your first look at the new battle system. It's VERY rough around the edges, so please be gentle and submit bug-reports if you encounter any!

• Added approximately 4,000 words of new content.
• Adds a very placeholder-y intro for the new location: 'The Scar'
• Adds the first iteration of a new combat system, the test of which can be found at 'The Scar'
  • You have to manage your health and lust. Health hitting zero means you lose, and lust hitting 100 causes you to cum and lose a turn. It functions similarly for your opponent, but making your opponent climax causes them to lose multiple turns, with a chance to recover each subsequent turn.
• Added new moves for the player:
  • Strike - Your basic attack. Does medium damage but hits 100% of the time under regular circumstances.
  • Shoot - Your ranged attack. Hits for high damage, but has a 30% chance to miss. Doesn't have much utility beyond that at the moment, but will be vital for shooting at distant or flying enemies when that functionality is added.
  • Dodge - Prepares you to dodge the next attack. Particularly good if the enemy winds up for something you can't block.
  • Block - Allows you to block a light attack for no damage. Doesn't have much utility at this point, but will be used to tire out some enemies when they're added.
  • Tease - Allows you to raise your enemy's lust. Depending on the enemy, raising their lust to 100 may stun them for several turns (Like it does with the Latex Creature!)
  • Healing items (WIP) - This will be removed and swapped for a proper inventory system in a future update. At the moment, you have three charges per battle and this heals you for 75% of your health. 
  • Submit - Drops your health to zero, removes your options with some per-enemy text, and then swaps to the bad ending after 10 seconds.
• Added the first enemy to the combat system: The 'Latex Creature'
  • It has an intro scene on the first turn
  • It can strike you with three basic attacks, all of which can be dodged or blocked.
  • It can wind up for a heavy strike that you have to dodge, although blocking reduces its damage by 50%
  • It can tease you until you cum, causing you to lose a turn.
  • Added a victory scene
  • Added a sex scene (Using their latex as a fleshlight)
  • Added a loss scene (Getting latex'd inside and out)
  • In future updates, this creature will also feature a status effect called "Latex", and you'll have to manage it as it spreads across your body. I tried to sneak this under the wire this week but ran out of time, sorry!

Known issues:

• No combat history. This was working in tests, but was bugged in post-upload. Going to experiment with next week's build and see if I can re-add it sometime soon!

Much, much more to come. Stay tuned ❤
