Time For The Next Vote - Devices Only Edition
🕑 Added 2025-04-13 16:23:27 +0000 UTCWhile I'm still busy with the last touches on PaSo, I think we can already open up the poll for what will follow after that.
And just as I promised Last time, I'm gonna focus on my core competencies again and only put new Devices for Deadly Furnitures on the List. So lets get trough The options.
Option 1 : The Fork
Our first option is something which was Suggested on the Discord. A simple wooden pole with two Prongs at the Top. Artists rendition below:
Not final of course, But this one was available in zap, so I used it as preview.
This device would work by having an Actor put its neck inside the prongs and being hold in place by Gravity because the space is to tight to pull the head out. Limbs would be tied to the pole itself.
This would allow a lot of options. First and obvious one is simple execution by suffocation as the actors weight would rest on the neck. So this would have some similarities to a cross where the ordeal is very slow and actors would take a day or two to die. Which would open up options for rescue or other interactions.
Other interactions being spanking/whipping/caressing and whatever else I have time to animate.
This is my favorite option due to the simplicity of the model. Scripting wise I dont see any challenges here, and it would also very adaptable to unconventional actor sizes without alignment issues. It would also fit very well in a potential defeat outcome for archeron which I will undoubtedly make at some point
Main time investment would be on the animations, but since the main Actors position is fairly static, this shouldn't be very hard.
Time estimate: medium
Option 2 : New Garotte
What it says on the Tin. A completely new Version of the Garotte.
The Old one has a few issues ans will need a rework at some point as well, but for this option I will design something completely new. Similar to the fork, this will be something fairly simplistic which looks like it could be cobbled together in the field by a crafty Ork or other miscreant from a few pieces of wood and a rope.
will utilize a standing/hanging pose and have 2-Actor animations, maybe even 3 If I feel generous. Would be slightly more complicated due to the need for a new 3d model and the added animation complexity for interactions.
time estimate: long
Option 3 : The Fountain
This is something completely new. Basically the "Cold Face" Event from the PA punishment pack, but as a spawnable Device so you don't even need to go outside!
The model is already Finished and has enough space for a second Actor in the Basin, so this will also mostly be an animation effort. There are a few uncertainties on how feasible it is to raise/lower local water levels in the basin with scripts, but even if I have to resort to static water levels, I can probably still do something fun with it if I limit myself to just raising/lowering the Actor. A bit of extra time will also be required to get the individual moving parts to play nice with each other.
time estimate: medium - long (closer to long)
So, those are the options. As usual, the "Propaganda and Election fraud" channel on the discord is open for submissions. And If the result here is close enough, I a good entry there might very well shift the Result.
As for voting, its possible to vote for multiple options, and I encourage you to do so if you are ok with multiple ones. This will give us an more representative result.
Happy voting :)

FWIW, raising and lowering fluid levels in a vessel - albeit maybe in discrete steps - is an interactive feature in Dark Consoles DM3. Think the code might be this (or in one of the other .psc files there) You probably know it already, but just in case not, and that's of some help:::::::::: https://github.com/darkconsole/dse-display-model/blob/master/scripts/source/dse_dm_FurnTank01_Controls.psc
