Barren Bargain [Development Thread]

[Winterchill.]

Oh shit man, I forgot I was going to send you some feedback from the playtest.
Glad to see you dropped a release!

Hey, you did send the feedback — it was super helpful, thanks! — but you forgot about that other thing...

Loving what I'm seeing so far, keep it up!

I've finished drawing 2 scenes - one fully animated, the other partially. Show you guys a litle bit of it.

I still need to create more variations, and the other girl needs scenes variations too, but that'll come later. Right now, the priority is getting out of this state -"Holy shit, I have no idea what to do with this mess, but I got only 2 hours to figure something out and draw\code\animate\write it!". I need to tackle all the tricky parts, poke at every unknown element, and turn those unknowns into routine tasks - so after job I can just produce instead of inventing something in struggle.

Ideally, I'd save the "inventing" for weekends... but it doesn't always work that way. Sometimes I end up spending 5-6 hours after work just to prevent these creative gaps from stalling development.

Working solo - especially as a programming newbie - is tough, but I really want to make this project work.






Yes, I'm doing everything myself. I'd love to learn sound design too, but that'll have to wait... I'll definitely message you, when i got something playable. Thanks for reply.

My God that is a extremely delicious looking ass

Whoa, didn't think someone would publish my game for me! What do I do now — just submit update requests? I was about to start working on this myself. Some advice on this ? Also thanks for letting me know.

I dunno if i can ask question in this thread but i will ask aniway if i cant will delete this.

Why do you choose the MC being a old guy, i mean why not aim for a more pleasing aesthetic, like the char from graveyard keeper, the apparence its to fit the story? its not a critique or anything i am just curious.

I wanted to create more tension and conflict to build dialogues and reveal characters — including the protagonist. For example, the mercenary disrespects the main character for who he is and how he looks, but still has to interact with him, which creates room for various situations. We have to consider that this is an era of sudden change: yesterday he was a nobody, today he’s everything — yet people’s values and attitudes haven’t caught up. And the main character lives up to his appearance: he is not a positive figure. It might be overdoing realism, and perhaps I should have approached such things more symbolically, but I think replacing the current hero with a handsome hunk would have been much more boring.

I agree with this, it is actually a fresh take on an H‘game because it depicts a realistic old farmer using his strength (being needed to provide for the army) as a strength for sexual favors. I commend you for the design as most often I see more unrealistic storylines where girls just suddenly fall in love without any reason.

NGL looks good. Wish you all the best, will surely play when this is done.
