Tighten/Loosen System Game Plan
🕑 Added 2023-02-21 16:07:11 +0000 UTCThanks for your suggestions everyone. Here’s my game plan for the upcoming tighten/loosen system, let me know if you like it:
- Items that can be tightened/loosened will have the “AllowTighten” property set. Only these items will be concerned.
- Lots of items like ropes, straps, armbinders, straitjackets and gags will have that property, more could be added or removed with time.
- An item that is locked cannot be tightened or loosened.
- For players with free hands, there will be a new “Tighten / Loosen” button on the item dialog menu and the item extended dialog.
- The tighten / loosen sub menu will offer four choices: tighten a lot (+4 difficulty) tighten a little (+2 difficulty), loosen a little (-2 difficulty) or loosen a lot (-4 difficulty)
- Items can never go over +4 difficulty from their original factor, so they can only be tightened a lot once or tightened a little twice.
- In the struggling mini-games, if the item allows tightening and isn’t locked, it will be possible to loosen it by working longer in the mini-game. Another progress bar will appear to show that the player is working on loosening the item.
- Loosening while struggling on an item will remove 2 on the difficulty to struggle out in the next attempt.
- It won’t be possible to loosen an item by struggling if the challenge is 10 is more. Right now, a challenge of 6 is impossible, so 6 + the extra 4 will make 10 impossible.
Do you like the game plan? Is it too complicated? Thanks a lot.

Thanks, I'm glad you like the idea. Yep, that variable will be visible for the player.

Sounds really well thought out and balanced. Love making it so that individual items can be made tighten-able or not. Allows things to be tweaked, to make more sense. Also love the idea that struggling might not get you LOOSE, but it might make things LOOSER. Also, a thought. I assume that programmatically, there will have to be some kind of variable that stores the consultative tighten/loosen in effect. So the game will know when it can't get any tighter/looser. Make that variable visible, on the item's screen. That way, somebody can wander in, and do a "Hey, this seems to have worked loose. Let me fix that."

It seems to sound pretty good. The "tighten/loosen system" plan seems to work well. go ahead!
