/tk/ - Tickling

Loving it. Yeah, feet need some improvement, but the rest is amazing.

Also the dude, hot damn, I didn't expect to find him so attractive

>>13126

Yeah I wasn't sure how he was going to come out with the first headshot but I like how he ended up. Maybe have him kind of 'roughed up' a bit (James and Morgan are "supposed" to be less attractive than the people they shoot with, an idea that really was never fleshed out much at all) but I think I'm sold. The other guy I'm keeping on hand for another game I wanna do, but as far as the "Tickle Porn" games I think I'm gonna stick with this guy.

>>13128

So is there gonna be /m in this one too?

Because I'm a little bit desperate to see him laughing now

>>13130

Yes. His prices are more than competitive and that means the same amount of commission money gets me more content for it. That and considering I'm not doing Offbeatr anymore (which doesn't hurt now that the site itself is down/going down) if I do the "buy your own character and storyline" thing I won't get boned the same way I did last year.

Ideally, I want an even 50/50 split so you can play all /f, all /m, or both and still finish the plot like I wanted last time.

>a liiiiiittle bit more work

Nah, what are you saying mate? Those feet are at a perfect 90° angle, never heard of something called ankles, and i'm pretty sure last time i checked my feet were rectangles, just a bit smoother around the edges with five other little rectangles on top, lol

Seriously tho, i've seen better feet in some cartoon's frames that lasted 2/24 seconds.

Still i've gotta say, you have strange tastes. You're spending your money, why won't you just work towards your personal tastes? I can't believe you would gather to other tastes (like writing /m scenes) when you are the one commissioning the work. Also, what tickling fetishist would ever sacrifice having a self-satisfying RPG where you do your most obscene fantasies to people for the sake of realism, to the extent of wanting to draw a purposelly roughed up male protagonist and a female prot. with such shitty hair? At least, i wouldn't.

>I can't believe you would gather to other tastes

>and a female prot. with such shitty hair

"Wow it doesn't make sense that you'd try to appeal to other people's tastes also WHY DOESN'T THE CHARACTER YOU MADE APPEAL TO MY TASTES?!"

Wanna know how I know you're shitposting?

>>13139

By my standards bitching at someone while picking out four words out of their entire post is what i call shitposting. Also, i think undercut hair are shitty to more or less anyone. But that's not the point. Fuck off mate.

I thought I was the only one.

Where did you find this artist, James, really? Does anybody think this looks good?

And yeah, I get that "James and Morgan are "supposed" to be less attractive than the people they shoot with", but there is a difference between "less attractive" and "ugly". I don't even swing that way, but I'd honestly find James to be more attractive than Morgan.

It's telling when you're making a game of which the main audience is "heterosexual men, a large percentage of which are foot fetishists", and your game has a prettyboy male main and a butt-ugly female main with a Macklemore haircut and feet that look like Legos. Is this some kind of satire/joke?

Gotta give ya credit, though. Normally I find media where the main character is a self insert of their creator to be absolutely cringe-worthy, but you're so shameless about it that it actually works(think "so bad it's good). Bravo.

So I'm guessing things with the other artist fell through? :/

>>13159

Tamyra or the one who did the Lindsey/Iris thumbnails? Tam's gone, I have the other guy on hand.

>>13152

>And apparently enough people did as well where I actually ended up receiving money to make it a reality.

Gotta give it to you james, people gave you money because they are desperate to see a decent tickling-based game, not because they particularly like its style or art. You have currently just about 0 competition in this sector, there are only amateur rpg games which have either bad art, bad writing or just way too short. I'm not saying your game is bad, hell for the first time in a while i had that feeling of genuine arousement while fapping that you just lose over time. It's just that for me, games are made to escape reality, so a game with a cold, everyday reality type of settings, with bank accounts going in red, people who give you the stink eye for your fetishes, creeps who want to do your girl, obnoxious SJW teachers and so on isn't really the best. I have to say though that tickle forests and giggle-goblins are taken to the opposite extreme.

On another note, it seems to me that writing a full-fledged story while having to keep it together is rather difficult in a RPG game, where there are certain triggers that lead to events. The battles aren't all that arousing either, the scripted lines get stale after a while. Why don't you try making a visual novel with a free engine like Renpy? I think it would be far easier to concentrate on the story if you have a main timeline with various options.

… I like the style and setting…

Only thing I ever thought was a little disappointing in the last one was not actually seeing the tickling in the images, just the laughter

Man, your reasoning has me triggered - we could extrapolate this to criticize anything.

>people only buy 128GB iPods because there's no 160GB iPod

>people only buy 60" TVs because there's no 200" TVs

>people only buy cars because there's no warp travel

Is this honestly supposed to be substantive at all? James is making stuff that people will pay for. That's all that matters. The level of competition is hardly relevant to … anything really, unless we're talking about releasing competing products. Subjectivity aside, yes, things can always be of better quality or sold for a lower price point. But bringing that up just to go on to tell him how he should make stuff just sounds lazily backhanded.

>>13124

Looks fine. The biggest tell for fetish tickle art for me is always the feet. It's always overdetailed compared to the rest of the art, and the more boxy style of this artist (evident in their fingers, the square of the shoulders and the feet) don't look obviously fetish material.

Also, thanks for taking the time to continue making these games. You'll always get nitpicks and critics, but it's you who is making this game. They aren't taking time to organize this or heck, try to much more than complain on the internet, so don't worry too much about them.

You might be "up your own ass" to some, but hey, you deliver. And that's a lot more than most people can say.

Not feeling the new art style at all. Been out of the loop. What happened?

>>13220

I'm one of the people who kept saying "tickling games are porn; 'game' shouldn't impede tickling."

I respect that you're making a game for yourself. It took a lot of work, time, dedication, and even throwing some dosh Tamyra's way.

I liked the scenes with the weird prepper-style girl out in the woods, and I dug the banter and the dialog overall was kinda charming.

Pornographically, though? Total flop for me. I like longer written scenes; you don't. Different strokes.

But that's fine.

It's *your* game.

>>13124

So, I'm pretty tactless in critiquing, but this is me trying to help. Sorry if this is the wrong place.

(And sorry for double posting.)

Good stuff:

The geometric curls on the stocks are pretty fucking slick.

Male expression is pretty good.

Hair's alright on both.

Stylistic ear's good too.

Can feel the windiness from what's going on with the grass's detailing and the leaves, though it looks like the leaves are being blown NE and the trees are being blown W.

Bad stuff:

Shading looks inconsistent.

- Male and female chests seem to react to light too differently.

- Feet should be entirely shadowed by stocks, given sun's position suggested in background, but maybe not suggested by angle of shadows cast, which conflict with sun's position.

- Skin color showing through girl's pants (which are in girl's shadow, relative to sun) are at points lighter than the skin on her arm closest to the sun.

- Sun is NE in picture, but the stocks are shaded on the SE side.

Suggest stylistically abandoning complex shadows for something simpler.

- Anatomy weirdness? Foot shape is weird as fuck, like no achilles tendon / thinning above ankle, just cylinder town. Looks like artist is trying to hide inability to draw hands by getting clever with angle.

No easy fix to suggest here. Going to be rough, since hands and feet feature pretty prominently in tickling. Could maybe avoid some hand drawing if hiding the 'ler and going the floating tool (feathers, brushes, etc.) route in some pieces, but that will only get you so far.

This guy's decent to alright and I'm actually sort of interested in what direction he will take your entertaining niche fetish RPG game experience.
