Height, Muscles and Body Shapes

So a few things have happened in Cursed yesterday.

First of all, I implemented height and muscles. Height is somewhat flavor, with a range from 5 feet to 6 feet, 4 inches, in one inch increments. There are some advantages to being tall, making you somewhat more commanding and dominant in certain situations, and advantages to being short, allowing you to fit into places that you otherwise would find difficult to do. Naturally, some people will prefer taller or shorter girls, like other variables.

Muscles are a little different. There's several levels, from non-existant to bodybuilder. Muscles is not just fluff, though: it's an actual measure of your personal strength, and will come into play in situations where you need to use strength to prevail. If, for example, you're crazy enough to walk down that dark alley in the middle of the night and get attacked by a mugger/rapist, if you're strong enough, you can force your attacker to give up, but if you're weak...

The final new thing I'm working on is body shapes. In the event that your various body aspects match a predefined range of variables, your body shape will be slightly different. This is almost completely fluff, but makes it easier for me to check certain things at the same time. Example of body types are Amazon (tall, muscular, and thin), Bimbo (tall, buxom, thin and long blonde hair) and Willowy (medium height, thin, small breasts, small butt). The struggle is coming up with other descriptive words for various body shapes. Bombshell is in there, as is Atheletic, Slender, and a couple of others, but most people will see Average more often than not.

One of the other things I'm working on is the landlord interaction. Every 30 days, you have to pay the rent on your apartment. If you have the money ($600) on the day its due, you pay it immediately and there's no harm done. If you don't have the money, you have until the next day to get it. If you still don't have the money by the following day, you have to negotiate with your landlord. The first time you go to the office, there's a quick check to see who your landlord is. It could be a man (Jim), a woman (Micki), or, in extremely rare cases, what looks like a woman (Herm Micki). All three have different thresholds for what they're willing to accept instead of payment, and threshold for how often you can bilk them out of their rent money. Jim will accept lower rent payment up to three times (it depends on how much you actually pay him, and what you offer in terms of sexual favors), Micki will only take lower rent payment once, no matter how much you give her, and Herm Micki is...unique.

So there's some variety there.
