Experimental build: Ultra-violence, behavior settings, and a prey rewrite

I’ve added a good number of new, rather violent actions to Fen’s repertoire:

• Fen can crush you with both hands and throw you away
• Fen can stomp you (especially while you’re ragdolled)
• Fen can bite your head off (ouch)

It can also now just inspect you for a few seconds. That one’s not so violent.

Here’s an example of the new moves in action.

I’m working on implementing a body-damage system like the one found in Left 4 Dead 2 – right now, it’s just used for missing heads. I will be expanding it to cover more kinds of damage pretty soon, so Fen will be able to do a lot of damage to you.

To see all of these new actions, make sure to check the content settings! The defaults are pretty modest. I’ve added toggles for visual and aural violence, as well as for violent actions in general.

You can even turn vore off, if you want…

Also, I may have missed one or two things while setting up the new content-filtering systems. If you notice something that seems too intense for the current settings, let me know!

Behaviors

There’s a new category in the settings menu: behaviors. These sliders let you adjust how Fen acts.

There are currently four behaviors:

• Hunger: How interested Fen is in devouring you
• Stalking: How long Fen will hang on to you, and how likely it is to mess with you instead of just eating/throwing you
• Cruelty: How often Fen will perform especially violent actions, like crumpling you
• Vigor: How likely Fen will perform more reckless actions, like lunge-grabbing.

Mess with these to get Fen to obliterate you in the way you enjoy the most.

Prey rewrite

I rewrote a bunch of logic for the prey. I’ve cleaned up most of the loose ends, but there could still be something missing here or there.

Misc

• The first-person POV is back when grabbed. I fixed a few issues that were making it really jittery. I will be adding an option to go into spectator mode the moment you get grabbed (which is how it used to work).
• Fen’s mouth opens when belching!
• I added a “Regenerator” mutator. This makes you instantly come back to life when you die. It doesn’t mean you’ll escape Fen’s stomach, though.
