JasX Survey 2023 - Part 3

Without further ado, let's go go through the fetish section. Note: If your fetish is not something I'm willing to do, it can still serve a purpose here in letting modders know what people want.

Most requested (at least 3 requests, sorted in order of most requested):

• Hand Holding - No! That's how you spread covid!
• Lactation/Milking - Milking machines and such can be done, but for anything else it comes down to how avatars are setup in SL. This is something you're gonna have to do for specific avatars.
• Pregnancy - Not for me.
• Gangbang - Absolutely!
• hypnosis - Absolutely

Other requests:

• Oviposition - Won't add officially
• sounding - Doable, but probably not on SL due to there not being a standard for aligning such things.
• cum/goo covering - You should ask Kehf, I think he's got an entire system for that sort of thing.
• Portals - Surprisingly requested multiple times. I have plans to add some to FQ. I'm not sure how to do it in SL due to the engine not being great for it.
• womb tattoos - I don't think this is something I'd be able to add myself due to avatars being what they are. But for someone willing to mod: There's multiple requests for this.
• tail stuff - I'm not averse to it, but it may be difficult to implement.
• size difference - Most my games end up with this in one way or another. But in most cases this will be up to the players.
• gloryholes - Not my particular fetish, but I think I have an encounter like it in FQ.
• Watersports - No can do. You'll have to mod it in yourself.
• monster girls - As usual. I have no talent for this sort of thing as far as SL modelling goes. But if provided with a model, I'll add it.
• caging/captivity - Basically a staple of any RPG, so you can absolutely expect to see more about it.
• casual lewdness: nudity/sexual situations happening in otherwise normal every day activities and but not treated as surprising
  I feel like this sums up most of my games, so yeah.
• Coiling - I'm not averse to it.
• diapers - Not against it. But as with most clothing items on SL, it's best supplied by the players themselves.
• hyper - Like with other attachments, this is probably best left up to the player.
• transformation into body parts - I feel like this is a bit specific. You're gonna have to mod it in. Sorry.
• living suits - Hard to do in SL due to avatar differences, but planned for FQ.
• intersex - I'll try to add some more to FQ once I'm done with the overhaul. I think I have a few in there already, but I don't mind adding more.
• Machines - Hell yeah
• more physical fighting and wrestling please - Yes please :>
• pegging - There's some of this already for player on player stuff. Due to the issues with making decent looking female NPCs, I don't think I'll be adding this to mobs in SL. I could definitely put this in my to do list for FQ.
• petplay - I'm not averse to it. I could probably add something like this as a quest in FQ. Do send me some ideas!
• public humiliation - Definitely into this. Feel free to shoot me some ideas!
• shared sensations - I like that idea. I'll probably use it somewhere.
• sheer nylon thigh-high stockings - Nah, we only wear programming socks around here.
• strength drain - This is a staple of most RPGs, so yeah. Most of my games include some sort of power drain.
• stuck-in-wall - Could be fun! I can think up a few random encounters for FQ.

A look back at last year

There weren't as many releases last year as the year before. Some updates have also been delayed due to the addition of linkset data in SL. To leverage this system, multiple major code overhauls have been required. This has eaten a lot of time, but will lead to better performance and the ability to add new features to games in SL.
Primarily thanks to to the reduced string parsing and memory juggling.

A few new things happened:

• FetishQuest
     Build 162 was released in spring, which added cosmetic items, random RP encounters, removed primary stats and merged holy/elemental damage. As well as adding other things like grapples, kinks, armor enchants, curses, banking, and dyes.
     Build 193 was released in December and includes the Borm tentacle wrestling arena, and many quality of life changes.
• xMod - A lot of work was done on the Phasmophilia mode. This game is a commission. No release date is set yet, but we're actively working on it. Ask Eve or join the xMod group on SL if you want to try an alpha build!
• BARE - Eve created a mod for BARE which adds things like RLV capture, quests, and a clairvoyance system. Check out the Bork bare arena to try it out!
• Fright - 3 new levels were released: Freight Container by Pepper, Frightfalls Pool by Trix, and Frighttree Castle by Drau.
• GoThongs - No new release this year, but a lot is cooking in the background, outlined in the next section.

Footnote: Jas also lewdified a private EQ server in his spare time. Check out the channel in the JasX discord if you want some nostalgia.

Upcoming updates:

• FetishQuest - Jas is currently working on a major systems overhaul which replaces the entire combat. AP and MP will be replaced with a "momentum" system, and combat will be made parallel. Additional quests for Borm are planned. Plans for a main quest have been scrapped, and replaced 
• xMod - Jas completed work on converting the system to use linkset data. This should lead to faster and more reliable spawning. Additional levels and ghost events are planned before it can be released publicly. Keep an eye on discord for sneak peeks. Or send a message to Eve if you're interested in making a level!
• Fright - Kulza may look into fixing some crash bugs. Drau is planning to update existing maps, especially Lunis.
• GoThongs
     Toonie is overhauling a major part of the codebase to utilize linkset data to improve code performance and reduce script crashes. Followed by a major content update. No date is scheduled for it yet.
     If the remote read linkset data gets implemented by LL, Jas may attempt to make a raid map for up to 8 players.

That's it for this year's survey, I'm very glad so many people decided to take it compared to last year! If you have any feedback, feel free to message me on Discord or SL! - Jas

Also for updates on these projects, please join Discord or the JasX group on SL. Most development discussions and previews take place there. The patreon is mostly used for those who want to financially support the work, and/or get a shiny color on the Discord!
