Sam Tail - Emile, where are we going?

This week I decided to switch focus a but from the slums to adding in a bit of early game Emile content. It has been a bit of a thorn in my side to have the first character you meet, and the tutorial character, have so much unfinished content and not do any of the tasks she was designed to do. New players were meant to explore the early game with her, but instead were just met with unfinished storylines. Soon, that will no longer b the case.

Now when you speak to Emile, you are given a small quest entry. The first one is a walk around the park, which has been slightly updated. Then a random pick between the remaining areas until you have visited them all. She has also been adjusted to not leave after a week and her dialogue changed to reflect that. She no longer mentions having her own place and stays with you from the start.

The lake event has also been updated, mostly for the non former male Sammy. When I first started writing this content, I wanted the players choices to build a version of Sammy. Based on how you respond to situations, you would gain or lose perks that reflected your choices.

But that very quickly became unmanageable. New perks are being added all the time as well as old ones adjusted. Making such events would require constant maintenance whenever a new perk or origin was added. So I instead decided to go a different route with it.

Now the story reflects the relationship between Emile and Sammy, as well as what origin you picked. This of course is most noticeable with the former male origin which has the largest amount of unique content. But it also gives a lot of unique dialogue with one of the non male origins.

In the image above for example, Sammy has the slut perk. So when Emile sneaks off with Matteo, she instantly knows what's going on. This leads to a unique slutty branch of having sex with him. The non male branch of the beach date is also now fully written (finally!)

For anyone who has decided to look into the images folder, you might have noticed Emile has some very interesting choice of underwear. She was always designed to look very normal and proper on the outside, but super naughty underneath. Visiting other areas of the town reflects that. Almost everywhere you go, she finds some excuse to leave you behind. If Sammy has the right perks or picks the correct options, she can find out what she is up to. Much like with Matteo on the beach where you can find her at the rocks.

Once Sammy finds out, it leads to a conversation between the two where Sammy tells Emile that she knows that she isn't as innocent as she shows. This will eventually lead to them getting up to no goo together. But that stuff isn't written yet so we will have to wait and see how that turns out.
