All Patron Poll - Trainer Game Design
🕑 Added 2023-11-01 06:42:26 +0000 UTC
Hi,
this is a somewhat unusual poll but I'll explain.
I came across a review of SJX which was rather critical. Normally I dismiss those as some hit piece and move on.
This one was well written and it made several good points about omissions in the game's training design. I want to use this as a chance for improvement and ask for the feedback of all paid Patrons.
Critical points made (my summary, a bit exaggerated to make the point)
==========
ITEM 1: "There is no gradual corruption visible in the characters behaviour, they mostly go along with it"
ITEM 2: "Characters lack display of sexual desire or pleasure in the sex scenes (mostly mc talks...)"
ITEM 3: "Some interesting training mechanics (autotrainer, pet training, ..) done without MC" involvement
=========
As SJX is not only a space trade sim but I also want it to be an interesting trainer, I feel it is important to address potential shortcomings in the trainer field especially.
Which of above captioned items you agree most with?
It would be great if you could give your input on this in the form of this poll!

Times I've felt left out thus far: 1.) After Nimhe was discovered cuffed and we had a short discussion about it the next day... that was it, nothing becomes of it after. Similar to mentioning sex toys, but no toy play has been introduced so far (figured it was in the works). T'Ris experimenting with the Bot Trainer, we got one screen shot, but we never get in on the action. Let's wander in some day and see how she responds with us at the controls. T'Ris pet training was completely hands off for us. Didn't bother me because I really wasn't into that, but still felt like territory the MC didn't get to explore. Each woman has her story, I always figured we'd delve into them more as part of their warming up to me (and letting me warm them up). Suppose I'm just asking for more of that.

I'll chime in saying that I generally agree with the sentiments posted above - the girls should become progressively more ""corrupt"" as they get used to showing off their bodies, they should be enjoying themselves more, etc. Generally shedding of inhibitions, at least in the ship as it becomes 'home'. Perhaps an option where they'll be a lot more open with their bodies when its just the spaceship family, and then in more official situations like when they get boarded, visit the space station, whatever they put on whatever is a generally accepted level of (sexy) clothes. That said I've been playing Space Journey more as an adventuring game and the favors stuff feels mostly like a side element. After all, the ship is full of adult women, not three barely college age girls (one of which was also pretty immature). Very different scenario overall. So I dunno, more sexy situations outside of the training stuff, more sexy space adventures like pet training. Maybe they make Jim work out and go around shirtless so they can get their own eyecandy. :p
