Been working on an a sort of AC-styled ero VN/RPG type game. Aiming for something like CoC but with a bit more lifesim elements to it. I'm still building out tools and nailing down the data schema for things, but I've also spent some time with the more fun bits. The goal is to be able to turn out content like dialogue quickly without hand-animating every single interaction with dialogue tags and simple animations for standard interactions, and more fleshed out animations for more intimate scenes. Lemme know what you guys think. I'd like to post updates here if that's alright.
Give me all your weird ideas or feedback. I can't guarantee I'll implement any of them, but I'll certainly try my best to improve when priorities are in order.
You can reach me at https://twitter.com/GentlesArt if you want to bug me in dms. Can't guarantee I'll get back quickly, but I'll try!

I'm going to focus on core stuff first when it comes to the erotic aspects, vanilla sex scenes, etc. What fetish material goes in is probably going to come down to whether or not the demand for it is significant to justify the opportunity cost.

What do you mean by AC-styled? Just the text boxes and sounds, or like walk around in a village, have your own house and interact with the characters? If so, player character customization would be neat! If it's more text-based, being able to select gender and species and having the characters react to it would be great.
No.92907
>>92906
The way I'm laying out the internal data representation should hypothetically allow me to present the game in different ways (graphically/textually), though I'm looking to keep it a healthy balance of text and models to accomodate my solo-developer status. You'd interact with it largely the same way you interact with something like Corruption of Champions, but there'd be much more polish in the UI.
When I say AC-styled, I mean to say that it would incorporate a lot of non-erotic lifesim elements like having villagers wander around from location to location where you can chat them up and see how they're doing. If you're familiar enough with them, you can hang out in their house and have more intimate conversations. They'd have some sort of schedule, individual likes, dislikes, (hopefully) different physical attributes and personalities/dialogues assigned from a pool of stock types.
If I can rig things really well and parameterize their model attributes cleanly, I could make them entirely RNG'd so that you could have completely unique villagers, but I can't know for sure just how well that'd end up looking. I may stick closer to AC and just hand-tweak them from a base model with different textures and bone proportions to give them different looks.
>being able to select gender and species and having the characters react to it would be great.
My loftiest goal is to make a male and female human player model that is modular enough to hybridize with other species and eventually become full anthro if the player chooses.

Presently there is no player gender as there is little content, so all interactions are gender neutral and limited to dialogues. Today's goal is to implement non-dialogue interactions.
I can more or less guarantee that by the time I implement proper male/female specific interactions, male/male and female/female interactions will follow very shortly, though models for said interactions will obviously take a bit longer for me to turn around.

No.93073

Quite the opposite. My highest hope is that each villager will have a large variety of interactions and dialogues to discover as well as individual preferences and speeds for relationship development. There'd be a healthy mix of slutty characters that will put out easily and more conservative types that demand a little more investment to impress. I'd like to take it even further and allow for them to form relationships between each other and subscribe to relationship paradigms (strict monogamy, lax monogamy, polygamy, etc.), allowing you to facilitate relationships or destroy them through intervention.
That's all getting a bit ahead of myself, I'd like to focus on the simpler aspects of modeling the sim, but that's the long-term goal.
No.93075
>>93073
I think the best way to go about this is to have a sort of checklist at the start where a player can choose what sort of things they do or don't want which ensures that everyone gets exactly what they want with nothing they don't. The randomized characters idea is really neat, but that leaves the possibility of a player not finding someone they like so being able to turn things off or having other things be more common ensures this won't happen. You could also do something similar with ranges for body shapes.
No.93078

There seems to be two distinct design philosophies in these kinds of games.
The first is to allow players to set content preferences to their tastes, the second is to make all content available all the time and let the player make the decision on the fly.
I think there's a smart way to do the latter without putting people off. As someone who is as straight as they come, I liked the presence of gay content in these kinds of games for the simple fact that it gives your heterosexuality some kind of consequence. The second you start letting people tick off items on a menu to excise content, it contributes to an overall feeling of artificiality that I think makes the sexual component cheap.
For example, let's say pregnancy puts you off (how dare you) and you want to indiscriminately rawdog every encounter. Instead of making it a menu option, just provide a magical contraceptive pill with 100% efficacy that you only need to take once. Maybe associate an interesting sort of quest to go with it, or have a sort of ordinance system that lets you declare procreation illegal so villagers stop breeding. Any of these options creates a story and frames your character in a certain light that might even be kind of memorable and humorous when you think about how insane it would be to ban some specific activity purely because you dislike it.
To take it further, let's say you like pregnancy but birth is just too far (even the clean and expedient hentai-interpretation of it). Instead of removing birth scenes systematically, just give your player the option to be present or to avoid it as it comes up. You can still engage with the system of breeding and pregnancy without having to witness the inevitable consequence of it first-hand.
If it became a highly requested feature, I might cave in and implement it, but I'd much rather stick to doing it the way I'm describing. Hopefully people will be happy with that.
No.93079
>>93078
I understand that you want to have some depth in the game world to flesh it out as a game, and I can respect having that kind of integrity. But there's one thing you seem to be glossing over here:
People aren't going to be playing this for the gameplay. They're not going to care about the writing, even if it's really high quality. They're not in for world building either. They're in it to jerk off, plain and simple.
I know this sounds harsh and it sucks to hear, but you're kind of shooting yourself in the foot with that logic. You seem to be trying to make some sort of passion project here (art, form) but you're adding in pornographic content (product, function). People are going to want nothing more than to get to the content or scenes they want, to jerk off to said scene and likely close the game afterward. Having something like unwanted pregnancies just obfuscates the function with the form for anyone who's not into that. It's like when you're reading a doujin and the fat ntr guy shows up out of nowhere.
You need to focus on what it is you actually want this game to be, porn or an actual game? If you go with what I suggested, you can very easily maintain both form and function. With this people can get exactly what they want with nothing else, and you can still express your creativity in the details. Some people won't care about or want these details, and forcing them to see them won't make them appreciate them more.
any chance on getting preg sizes that match the titty sizes from earlier, or is that too far out of your comfort range?
No.93084
>>93079
>They're in it to jerk off, plain and simple.
I used to think this before I started doing serious research and committing time to developing this idea, but after looking at the data, it's simply not true.
Fundamentally, there is a desire to be aroused that drives the market for erogames, yes, but how people engage with their arousal and sexual desire takes many forms, and the sheer diversity of successful erogames reflect that reality in a demonstrable way.
Popular erogames run the gamut of difficulty, presentation, explicitness, and genre. For me, there are a lot of these games that don't appeal to me, and nonetheless collectively generate revenue in excess of millions because not everyone is like me.
The only conventional wisdom I follow in this regard is to simply know who my target audience is and try to build as strong a product for them as I can manage. If I feel there is really a lack of focus, I can always make adjustments along the way (the code I'm writing is thankfully highly re-usable.)
Hope this assuages any concerns you might have. At the very least I can assure you that it's not going to take hours for you to get to the good stuff when it's out.
No.93085

Well if you've done actual research into this I guess I'll take your word for it, as I'm going off mostly theories. Though I still think being able to turn things off would make for a more enjoyable experience in general, especially since it lets you get away with putting in content that some might find less agreeable.
No.93086

I feel you on this front. One of my few gripes with CoC is that there's a ton unavoidable encounters with herm characters boasting gigantic horsecocks on full display.
I'm not grossed out or particularly offended by anything, but to me this kind of hypersexualization baked into the atmosphere and worldbuilding that demands everyone be sexually available and presenting at all times is comical in to a degree that is almost un-erotic for me.
The thing is, I intend to allow the player to choose when and and how they engage with the adult content. Characters aren't going to be presenting themselves out in the open unless that's something you want, and if that's something you want, there will be some steps you can take to achieve that.

I'm less concerned about casual horsecocks flopping around out in the open and more with a player getting invested into a character only for said character to whip out some boner killing fetish.

I had an idea that you could perhaps surreptitiously look at your fellow villagers browsing history and assess their interests and potential fetishes like a total creeper, or just talk to them and get subtle-not-so-subtle cues on what they're into.

It wouldn't be so much a question of technical implementation as it is fitting it into the game world in a compelling way. Pregnancy/birth is easy for me because it would allow you to create new villagers. Body modification/growth is also easy since it lets you tailor a particular character to your preferences.

Maybe you could... eat villagers you really REALLY don't like?

There's a difference between the means by which fetish is realized (explanation) and the purpose it serves in the overall framework of the game (justification).
I definitely favor not having to explain too much. If there is fast pregnancy, bloodless and uncomplicated birthing, vore, body modification, etc, it simply IS because it's videogames. If some explanation is rendered, it will be unobtrusive and just there as a little interesting something you can read at your leisure.
My concern is more "how can I make it both arousing and simultaneously interesting as a mechanic on its own?" I think that it's a missed opportunity when your game has all this sexual content and players are going to skip a lot of it not because they find it offensive but because it's simply not that interesting to them.
I'm not into vore at all. But one thing I can tell you is removing a villager in AC is a pain. It'd be fucking kind of sadistically pleasing if I could just eat them and make them disappear instead of pressuring them into moving away by roundabout means or hoping they want to leave on their own.

With the context of it being something like in your game, I'd like her to be not too big that she can't move, but big enough that she could easily pin me under her massive tits/belly and bully me into feeding her and rubbing her belly except I would be doing it regardless because I'm taking responsibility and also that shit is hot as fuck. I'd imagine that size would be big enough to almost reach the ground, so around 2-3x her body weight which is still well within hyper preg territory but still nowhere near room sized like what you posted.

Once I'm confident that the content creation workflow is solid to where I can create an interaction, a room, or a character easily, then I'll be ready to start making more models for them.
On that note, this is a very difficult process for me, mostly because I've never built anything quite like this before, and I tend to get racked with indecision on how a feature should look because I'm afraid it's going to be super ugly trying to go back and fix it later down the line.

[DONE 100% ] Save and load ALL game data. Pretty much done. There will be little bits I'll have to add when new features are added, but I can load and save perfectly now.
[DONE 100%] Add starting room to main scenario (this is where it all really starts. once I make a proper starting room, I can build out from there)
[IN PROGRESS 0%] Connecting room exits when instancing rooms (this part shouldn't be too hard, just trying to wrap my head around a potential bug that will come out of careless implementation)

Don't care as long as the hot wolfgirl is the pred.
No.94573
>>94566
I have another question.
I don't look at a lot of vore, but I do feel like I've noticed a pattern where the only time you actually see the act happen is when the predator is macro. When it's same-size pred/prey, almost every depiction is sort of the aftermath- a distended belly, maybe a foot in the mouth.
My thinking is that there probably aren't that many people who want to see the kind of degree of jaw-unhinging that would be required to actually devour someone your own size.
Now that's all fine and dandy, I'm not judging, but it presents a bit of a conundrum, seeing as if you want to represent vore visually, you kind of also need to bring macro along with it- and if you don't want macro, then doing the visuals of same-size pred/prey would be really tricky to do without looking really weird and unrealistic. Would a vore-liker such as yourself want to see it happen matter-of-fact, or would something like a first-person prey perspective convey it well enough? Doing it that way would allow having vore without worrying about size/plausibility.

Macro shit is boring and lame.
>My thinking is that there probably aren't that many people who want to see the kind of degree of jaw-unhinging that would be required to actually devour someone your own size.
If done properly this shit can actually be really good, but it would require a lot of 3d model fuckery to look passable, way too much for a minor thing like this.
>I'm not judging
I would be. This fetish is dumb and autistic and I hate it.
>Would a vore-liker such as yourself want to see it happen matter-of-fact, or would something like a first-person prey perspective convey it well enough?
Due to the amount of effort that would be required otherwise, just having it happen offscreen and coming back to her teasing her still struggling prey would be some good shit.

Now that a lot of technical crap is out of the way, I'm focusing on some more artistic stuff.
I want to build a system that will generate a variety of models based on some basic parameters. Fur pattern, features, and bone adjustments for varying proportions.
I would also very much like to implement clothes, as having everyone strutting around naked at all times, while not entirely unwarranted, does sort of remove the fun of getting them OUT of their clothes.

Yeah, someone else said that, too. Working on it. I tweaked the model a bit since my last post working on some alternate face-shapes.
>>96416
I haven't given too much thought to the PC's actual appearance at the moment, so I'll get back to you on that one.
As for movement, it's very much like CoC, only with a sort of scene view in the center of the game that will either display text or models of whatever you're currently interacting with. I want to give the game a more visual focus with more animated dialogue to set it apart from CoC, while still delivering most of the content through text. As for fetish stuff, I have to keep the scope limited at this stage as I'm the sole developer/artist/monkey working on this thing out of a studio apartment with barely any income.
No.97103
I've improved the face shape keys a fair bit. We got cats, wolves, rabbits, and even a human face key which surprisingly blends really well with the others. Tried using the smooth ramp just to see how clean the geometry is. Looking good.
I also set up an FA for the more hardcore and fetish model tests.

Brown rice, for practical reasons. More fiber-rich, keeps you full longer. I've grown accustomed to the taste of it and even sort of prefer it to regular whites and basmati, but nothing beats that Japanese glutinous sticky rice.

I'm satisfying the base of male/female straight/gay first, everything beyond that really depends on the shape the game is taking once I've gotten there and how easy it will be for me to implement.
Too early to make promises, but I hope the planned content stands well enough on its own that anything beyond that would just be icing on the cake and not feel like something that's missing.

So what will sex look like? I'm very curious how the animations will work in conjunction with text.
No.98816
>>98811
The plan is to have generic scenes (sex between you and the randomly generated villagers) and unique scenes with characters who are pre-written.
All scenes would be narration + talking character bust as a placeholder, and at a minimum I would aim to have multiple animated positions/scenes for opposite and same-sex pairings.
Among other things, part of what I have planned are ways to surreptitiously get a peek at them in their private moments and potentially get scenes this way, as well. I'd also like for the option to do a little coercion/grey area stuff but I have to be careful about that since it's against patreon policy.

Progress has been a little more on the graphical side of things this week.
In earlier posts I demonstrated the shader for the anthro base model and how you could tweak the shape keys and material parameters to create different looks by hand.
One of my goals for this project is to generate these automatically, and to that end I've written a couple scripts to automatically acquire all the possible features and materials and set them.
Right now the process is 100% random within some range restrictions, but the script does its job and I no longer ever have to go manually resizing bones or mucking about with the material pane.
Due to being totally random and lacking in a variety of quality pattern textures, the early results aren't all winners. Once I've drawn more decent texture patterns and created a list of sane color palettes to start with as a basis, these should start looking better.
