Ice Chips/Crimson Cinders

[Dr. Supersocks]

So basically I have a bunch of large projects I'd like to do for TITS, but I wanted to start with something small so I can get familiar with the process of submitting something and my own ability before diving in head first.

Essentially this little pair of items is intended to help regulate libido. A lot of items increase libido but there are only a couple ways to reduce it. Most of the libido increasers are part of a TF as well, making it hard to manage the number. It isn't super important, but an overactive libido can become burdensome.

What I have created is a pair of fairly cheap consumables that can be used to adjust libido up and down.
Here's a link to what I have finished so far. I don't think all that much needs to be done to it but it is my first attempt at content, so I'd appreciate any feedback people have.

Sadly, libido decreasing items are rejected over and over.

I can't really think of a good reason for that. I mean, if I really want to adjust libido I can just use a save editor. I just thought it would be nice to have an in game way of doing it. If they're worried about game balance or something I could cap it at a certain percentage, say 10% or 90%, of the total to prevent overuse.

Unfortunately Fen wants libido to be a “punishment” stat similar to corruption from CoC, so anything that is specifically designed to reduce libido will be rejected.

Really? That's irritating. I'm glad I didn't try something more elaborate along those lines. I guess I'll have to think of something else.

but arent there multiple ways to reduce libido easily in coc?

 

[Zavos]

but arent there multiple ways to reduce libido easily in coc?

Yes and no. The main point is that in TiTS libido serves as a relatively one way road ideologically similar to corruption. Libido reducing paths like the huskaur 4some will probably require grinding or be one shot rewards.

Maybe have it be a service of Dr. Lash?

From what I understand, libido is treated like a hard-to-change stat and yes, it is a similar parallel to corruption in CoC in that it is a "negative" stat. Libido should not be able to be dropped and raised so easily (you can do that to lust, sure, but not libido). The means of altering libido should be rarer than increasing/decreasing the other stats. Examples of libido alteration include: dropping with the removal of sex organs (via Dr. Lash), dropping when being so sexed out that the character's sexual appetite has be over sated (like the sex scene with Steele, Anno and the Huskar scientists), raising during a transformation (some transformation items cause this). When the "Taint" portion of the story line kicks in, I think libido will play a bigger role, but at the moment it is a very limited stat.

That makes sense. I'm glad I only put an hour ish into it. I'll find a way to recycle what I have into something else.
