Hey everybody.
After adding a couple of actions to classic, I thought about the interactive mode a bit.
I for myself barely play it since I don´t see any reason to. It is not competitive, don´t fit well to rp or tell a story and even if you want to use it for some sort of "punishment round" after a hard fought match it still has a couple of flaws.
So before diving any deeper:
What do you guys use the mode for? Are you satisfied with the functionalities?
In which direction would you develop the mode?
cheers
In terms of Interactive, what I really enjoy is the 'switch battle', where two switches match up and try to make each other cum. I find that as long as you keep your kinks practical, and your sex toy list accurate, the mode should be really enjoyable and true enough to be fun and sexy.
In my eyes, Interactive is kinda 'complete' in the sense that it's playable for most configurations, and just needs a little work to close gaps, I think. In terms of development I just want to see more people come up with stuff that they're into, more diverse actions, etc.
As one of the maintainers I will watch this with interest, as always looking for suggestions for how the mode can be improved.
Will be really interesting to understand how people currently use interactive, or how they would like to but the functionality/actions are lacking right now
I’ve never really used it, but hadn’t thought of it from the switch battle idea that Winston suggested. That could be a lot of fun, and give it that competitive feel that I thought it was lacking. Thanks!
Yep, it can be pretty exciting indeed :D
I really like the Interactive mode because it allows you to delve into your partners fantasies for some fun IRL play. I myself love to get to know a person talk about kinks, limits and fantasies before going into a game of Interactive, having a nice pre-"session" talk, then getting into the headspace and using the actions as a guide for what to do, besides talking in chat and giving instructions there. I know not everybody like some form of IRL play, but I have met some amazing submissives here that were into that and we had a very fun time. Of course my play partners could have just made it all up, but I like to think that a lot of it is genuine. I like edging a lot, both doing it and making other people do it (with consent of course, nothing more hot than consenting into being dominated). We usually play for some time until one or both parties gets to cum and then I like to do some aftercare, if time permits it and the other person would like it. So maybe a special little thing for aftercare would be neat? I don't know if that's possible and how much time it would cost, but a few actions that are nice to look at, for example: get something to drink, let's cuddle, massage your legs, etc., would be a nice addition in my opinion, maybe a separate button on the side or in the game over screen to start aftercare play? But I guess there is the Love mode, so perhaps people do it there.
Sorry for my long rambling, I hope it gave some insight…
To sum it up:
The Interactive mode is a place where I get to help other people explore their fantasies and kinks. I get that it's not that well suited for RP, but for IRL it's quite neat. The gifs and images for the guys are a bit mid in my opinion, but I also don't think they are meant for me, so I guess the ladies would have to judge that.
All in all the Interactive mode is a lot of fun for certain things and I guess a certain type of player. Keep up the good work with all those hot and fun new actions and images and thank you very much for this fantastic mode!
