I wanted to make this post to describe how agent missions might go in the new pov game project.
Keep in mind this is when playing as the agent player character. I will have something different for Maiko.
Also keep in mind i’m still not sure if the player will be custom, yuki, or maiko.
It is possible Maiko will be the only playable character and can do agent missions also.
Basically nothing is set in stone just yet.
Missions will be available from Cain, or a mission agent such as Yui or one of the trainer girls when Cain is not there (Keep in mind Cain is usually with Lynn).
I was going to have all this randomized stuff for mission but while typing it I realized how overly complicated this was getting. So instead the player can select from various predefined scenarios. These scenarios are based on both personalities and events from UMCH/CC, and possibly other games like sentoryu, etc.
you won’t need to do every mission. in fact some of them them will not be worth doing over others.
below are just some notes and/or examples of what I had in mind. definitely not everything.
feel free to suggest anything to add to these ideas.

solutions to missions
Find – some character are not at the scene and need to be found first. There is a stat for this. Yellow Khalei helps also.
persuade – boobs
**persuade – pov? – pov sex or handjob
small fine (1) – fine the character for small amount of money.
large fine(3) – fine the character for moderate amount of money.
*fight – force the bully to pick on someone capable. has varying effects. some dislike you, some will respect you.
watch – let characters continue and watch what happens.
warn –
arrest – make a example out of this character. loads new random missions and removes all missions with this character in it for the day or until next arrest. influences like/dislike
*situational bullies
**situational harassment
What abut Savori/Albert to act as a prelude to Savori’s story? Albert having her do things but there isn’t enough evidence to bust him on it with the agent, like in the book store or something?
And how about some illegal sex with Phia?
Thanks for the feedback. I plan to have this game takes place after UMCH so need aftermath stuff for savori as opposed to prelude stuff. I figured her dad would still be creepy ans just not touching her… much heh. Yeah Phia can be in a few places for sure.
Now that makes more sense! How about Savori x Kyle due to her story arc? Considering the ending between those two, she did state that “it doesn’t hurt,” so she might pursue some things with Kyle maybe?
Yeah if there are some scenes. iirc Savori’s opinion was different based on if Maiko set her and Kyle up together or not. so I might need to ask the player what they picked or perhaps even be able to load up UMCH save codes. These might dictate if certain mission appear or not. or if they are altered a bit, etc.
Makes sense, boss. Kinda sounds like The Witcher series at this rate! Love it!
Keep up the good work!
Man, this all sounds awesome!
There are a lot of references regarding these bullying/bringing up past events. Its a nice touch having lore from past games coming over on this.
It has so many different types of missions too and they all show the way characters interact or how their personality is. Plus the ways to solve those. I personally would like to play Yuki this time, it would be another character to be in the shoes and to learn more about. Love Maiko, but its always nice to know more, specially Yuki which didn’t have much of spotlight time so far.
Yeah I’ll see what i can do Yuki. I might have it where Maiko is told some stuff directly. I still want to do the agest side of thing starting out at least so Maiko would get taken there. One thing I had not considered though was the benefit of playing as Maiko is more than familiarity. Maiko actually experienced a lot of this stuff herself in UMCH. So now when she is a position of authority as law division agent it could get interesting. Maiko seeing Ace make threats towards leyah, or see David still preying on Dizzy, etc. As a agent, especial with a corrupt exec backing you. she can get away with some stuff. heh. even that can backfire, etc. A lot of stuff can be done there. It could also be interesting to be able to get high enough rank to escort Lynn around.
That’s true, didnt think about it.
Maiko lived some of those situations, while Yuki didn’t. Both would have different approaches to these.
yep
This sounds really cool, playing one of these awesome character [ custom, Yuki, or Maiko ].
Will it be repeatable missions or will some be miss-able?
And will there a time limit, or a main quest/side quest?
And having various predefined scenarios sounds solid, but whatever happens it’s going to be awesome.
p.s. Is the character “august” Silver’s character? If so that’s pretty cool.
Thanks, yeah august is one of the characters being worked on in the forums.
There will be a main objective to complete.
I don’t plan to have time limits and certain missions will be repeatable. I don’t think I will have any that can be missed, but nothing is set in stone yet.
Also wanted to ask if the character you use might find something [ clothes, photos, etc ], from other characters pranking, that can help find situation through-out the game.
I want to have at least some missions here you need some item to complete it. And yeah it’s possible the item can be from a different mission(s).
How about adding “vigilantism” and “lost objects”, or something? (Though, “lost objects” may not be worthy of an Agent). By “vigilantism” i mean some crimes having been prevented by unofficials (i’m thinking Deliah or Jeni), and having possibly resulted with hospitalized bad guys.
For “lost things”, i’m thinking Amber’s notes/harddrive/research materials having been lost (not necessarily stolen) and she needs to find it or write her next book from scratch, Roise could have forgotten her glasses somewhere, Leyah’s cat ears, someone’s jewelry…
great ideas. for vigilantism I think both the vigilante and the injured person would need to be there. then the agent can decide who is in the right.
Lost could be a little minigame you can do on that mission where you need yellow kahlei or sensory goggles to find the item.
For Vigilantism, i think the vigilant and the injured potential criminal should only be there together at the end of the mission. In the mean time, there could be a couple scenes with the Agent coming onto the ‘crime scene” (after the victim was hospitalised), and asking questions to the people around “potential witnesses”). You could even have the “culprits always come back” stuff and have the agent wondering about one of the people present maybe being the criminal. A visit to the victim in the hospital, a visit to HQ or police station for some potential information. Asking questions to potential suspects, etc… then the final scene, with both the new victim and the vigilant, and three or four choices “stop the vigilant”, “arrest the so-called victim”, “arrest both”, or even “what should i do?” that would lead to an unresolved case either way.
Thanks, keep in mind that I wanted the missions to be relatively simple. Basically you just go there and do it. I plan to have be multiple parts for missions as what you seem to describe. If there is a that multipart it would likely be the illusion of multiple parts. Basically you wouldn’t be able to do anything else between the parts and the game would automatically take you to the places you need to go next all in the same scene or mission. Something like a traditional VN I guess. Again, the goal being to keep things simple, for both the player and coding it.
Kinda like the Zytra/Leyah/Ace quest in UMCH, then? Apart from a couple choices and the battle, it was pretty automatic.
like the last part of it yeah. so from outside the house to inside of it, for example.
Sounds very cool. 🙂
Would you like me to post mission ideas in this comment section or the forum?
Also, that second character I mentioned could work well for these. She’s a lot more troublesome than August. So I can post some trouble mission ideas for both of them.
Unless you’d rather discuss the character before mission ideas.
mission ideas here please.
also there will possibly be up to 3 new characters. This is combined with all of ARIA and UMCH characters. That is enough for the time being heh. Can look at other characters after the ball gets rolling for a bit.
These are only the basic idea, I can add more details to the ideas you like.
(Location, others involved, ways to resolve, etc.)
These top 3 ideas will only work with the August befriending Kyle and taking photos idea. But I’m not 100% sure about that idea yet.
August takes revealing photos of Pattie (modeling) in a public place.
August confronts Joiry on behalf of Kyle. Risk of a fight happening.
Kyle taking pictures of August and Pattie performing sexual acts.
Other ideas.
August plays loud music through a store’s stereo on display, despite being asked to stop and leave by an employee.
August left a store without paying for a drink he was holding, when confronted by someone, he claims he forgot to pay. (Not revealed if he was stealing or not. Some things suggest he was, others suggest it was a simple mistake)
August removing his clothes (resulting in nudity) to try on new clothes in a clothing store.
Aftermath of a fight between August and David. August challeneged David after hearing about his behaviour and reputation.
August and Delilah sex. (Maybe need approval from creator)
You mean Deliah’s creator? That would be me. Well, that would depend on whether August’s a douchebag or not (haven’t read much of his descriptions to know that yet). Deliah will fuck anyone, any gender and any number for free so long as they’re NOT douchebags. That means David, Ace and Savori’s dad. The only way any of the douches will get to fuck her is by paying.
From what few i understand yet, he’s not a douche. So she’ll do him without questions. Heck, she’ll even model for him or Kyle, in any setting (public decency be damned), and any kind of shoots (meaning she’s willing for porn).
Thanks for the info. 🙂
Yeah I remember dialogue like that from CH. So August should be fine.
He’s more of an idiot. Most things he does, he does without thinking of the consequences and can be slightly arrogant but not a bully.
I can keep you updated on any interactions between the 2 characters if you want. See if they fit.
Works well with Deliah. All he’d have to do is walk up to her and say “wanna fuck?” and she’d say yes… assuming she didn’t ask him first.
She works at the café for the secret service, and comes back as a client for the girls she can’t have otherwise (namely Maiko), only wears underwear when she’s at that time of the month, would fail Tom’s tests on purpose for the aftermath, or join the gymnastic club just to get the flexibility needed to fit more dicks at once. Heck, if there were secret cheerleader parties, she’d join the cheerleader squad in a heartbeat.
She probably knows Remi’s secret, and would make herself expelled just for a chance with the nurse if there weren’t so many sex opportunities at school.
She’s desperately trying (and failing) to corrupt Amber, for God’s sake!
I thinking they would know each other first. Some-what anyway. August wouldn’t ask someone randomly.
Kyle could of introduced the two, or maybe they interacted in the cafe. Or she just asked. XD
I guess sexual interactions would make sense. August wouldn’t want to lose much money on the cafe’s services and I think there was dialogue from Deliah saying the other girls in the cafe take most of clients?
You could say Deliah has a huge … flaw… compared to the other workers. As you know she’s flat as a board, and most clients obviously likes girls with breasts. Not to mention how unfriendly she seems whenever sex is not concerned (when in fact she’s just bored…).
That’s also why she complains about Maiko coming to the beach (for the ice-cream job).
I think if you want them to know each other before hand, then Kyle introducing them is better.
The café would make an epic fail. Kind of like “Welcome dear client! Want a look at the special menu? My schedule’s free right now.” “er… no, just a coffe please…” “*mutters* damnit all to fucking hell! Another one of those! How the fuck don’t i get clients?? *Louder* MAIKO! COFFEE FOR TABLE 2!!! AND I’M DONE FOR TODAY!!!”
Yeah, that would go oh so well.
Yeah. I hear you. Loud and… very loud. (Sly Cooper reference).
I think Kyle would of just Introduced August to all his friends, including Deliah. Maybe August came across Kyle being bullied and stepped in or something. Which started this.
He wouldn’t care about her 2D chest. If he sees her as a friend, or at least a fuck-buddy, then it’s all good.
How would she feel about/react to being called De for short? August calls everyone by their first syllable.
De? Try “Dee”, i think it would be closer, pronunciation-wise (mind you, given English is not my birth language, i tend to mix pronunciations so i may be wrong)
Fuck-buddy for a start, most likely… friends… depends on his other interests. Deliah’s also a geek… make that otaku, and a battle junkie. Her main and first hobby remains sex, though.
De would be pronounced as Dee because he’s taking the first part of her name but having it spelled as Dee when he says it, might be more clear.
We’ll see what happens as I write more for him. So far, I only have that he likes music, fashion, tries to make money and during sex, his goal would be the pleasure of the other person.
once you get this sorted out be sure to post it in the forums so it wont get buried/lost in blog posts.
Vortex,
I got you. Are my mission ideas ok? They’re in my first comment.
Then De sounds good.
And the both of them see sex in almost the same way… ALMOST because Deliah won’t be fully “pleased” unless both her and her partners are getting the best of it. Even when she’s getting paid by the douchebags she wouldn’t do otherwise (sweet revenge… they know unlike everyone else they can only get that by opening their wallets…)
i think we have everything covered so far, no?
I’m sure August will enjoy it a lot so it should be fine.
Yeah I think. I can write some dialogue when Vortex replies.
Thanks for working with me. 🙂
You’re welcome. I just wish i could help more, but right now a few minutes a day is all i can gather.
yeah these idea can probably work. However for changing to nude in the middle of the clothing store, I’m not totally sure how Mira might react though. This may not even a issue that gets called in.
maybe @unticop can chime in.
also a few of these you have fighting. you may need to remind me of the fighting background of your character. iirc you only mentioned “the streets”. But I would like to have, or at least know, specifically what he learned and how he learned it. can put this in the forums. then we can get into detail about some of this fight stuff.
the reason i mention this is because for a bully character to be effective here they need to have little to no people who can actually check them. Else they are not scary or threatening. If if they do have a check, the potential needs to exist for the bully to come back in force. ie. with friends, some underhanded plot plot, etc. basically something that puts them back at a threatening level.
but the first 3 are ok. just confrontation and sexual stuff.
Thanks.
Would you like me to post these in Character Concepts or Feed Back and Suggestions?
Also, how should I write it? Write the dialogue between the player and August then the possible ways to resolve?
Little update.
I wrote the ones you said were fine. I only wrote the dialogue between August and the other character. The dialogue which happens before the player can interact.
I just put (resolve) for now, because I’m not sure how that’ll play out.
Well in umch and Sentoryu, you see girls changing nude in the store b/c she sells women’s lingerie. I didn’t think she’d sell men’s drawers tbh, so a guy striping down would probably be seen as some pervert since there’s no proper reason for a guy to be doing that there.
yeah women’s lingerie store for sure. Sentoryu it is a women’s clothing store and lingerie is assumed to be in the back. But does’t change a nude guy being in there.
I had a regular clothing store in mind but I can leave that idea out due to the possibility of no background/worker character for that.
yeah i will look at and reply to forum stuff today.
I ain’t posted the missions yet. I got them but not sure where you want them.
I can wait till you read other people’s posts if you prefer.
You can also add people dine and dashing at Holly’s cafe. Maybe some of the random guys doing it.
Also you can have Carl getting caught hiding cameras at the school changing rooms
Depends on who catches Carl. Deliah would probably ask for copies for her silence.
It would be comical but would need to explain how carl got into the school changing rooms heh. and perhaps before that why he is even at the school.
Well in Sentoryu Pattie puts them up, I figured if they caught and questioned Pattie about she’d say Carl put her up to it but Could be a different location too. Like the cafe or lingerie store.
