TunnelBound

What is the primary focus of the game?

The primary focus will be bondage, similar to Kinky Dungeon. However, exact plans are not set in stone and may change as the project evolves.

Is there a requirement for specific versions of .NET to play the game?

A player encountered an issue and asked about required .NET versions, but no definitive answer was provided regarding specific requirements. It is recommended to check common system requirements or consult official documentation.

Are there any plans to add language options to the game?

Players have requested language options, including Spanish translations, to make the game more accessible. Currently, the game does not support multiple languages.

What is the current status of the balancing tool being developed?

The developer is currently working on a balancing tool that should help improve the gameplay experience. Player feedback will be prioritized, and the tool aims to make adjustments easier.

How does the Watcher spawn in the game?

Currently, the Watcher can spawn when commotion outside themed rooms reaches its maximum value. Note that interactions with the Watcher are still under development.

Leveling System

• If you lose a battle, previously tied-up characters are freed. This allows you to go back and refight lower-level opponents to regain lost points.
• Implement a 'carry' system where players can assist others in reaching prison cells for leveling progression.
• Introduce a timer mechanism for freeing NPCs; halve the timer if another NPC helps, allowing players to reset timers by retieing freed characters.

Stat Management

• Consider starting stats at 10 and setting maximum stats at 20, with points distributed during character creation.
• Introduce a tech tree or gear system for stat boosts. Gear could be random items that provide permanent stat increases.
• Focus on maintaining high dominance as it affects restraint strength in combat. Losing too much dominance can make subsequent fights more difficult due to weaker restraints.

Restrictive Equipment

• Design high-security restraints that combine head slot bondage (eyes, mouth, neck) with high restriction strength.
• Implement a hood that limits vision and reduces spellcasting abilities. This could include black bars on the screen's sides to obscure peripheral vision.
• Create a hobble dress that restricts movement, making players hop around instead of walking normally.
• Develop a power-draining/submission collar that increases spell casting costs or enemy damage taken.

Combat Strategies

• When encountering multiple enemies, focus on restraining the first enemy as much as possible before it captures you. Escape and reset your meditations at the hub to recover and return.
• Using speed potions can significantly improve your chances against single or multiple enemies by allowing you to apply restraints more quickly.

Being Bound

• Once bound, enemies will ignore you, allowing you to loot chests and navigate through floors without immediate combat. However, this may change in future updates as factions could recognize specific types of restraints.

Map Navigation

• The map helps with navigation but currently lacks differentiation between floor transitions and internal sub-floors within a section. Familiarize yourself with the layout to better orient yourself.
