One of screenshots reminded me of "camel by camel"... music video
This royal butt and sideboob are just perfect.

Ah... An ai game... Well that means it's sucks

AI is still a tool, many people don't know how to draw or don't have 100 thousand dollars to spend on artists' art, and here AI helps make everything more beautiful, but demanding money for such a hack job done on the fly in a couple of hours is the height of disgustingness.

The gay tag is because of the Jackal/Anubis femboy

New update out, hope you guys enjoy, gimme any feedback ya got and if you have any UI issues or other bugs tell me about it.

Pretty good update. The cards are a welcome addition (though it requiring an open command prompt to run is probably gonna confuse/scare people). Though now it makes me want to see sound effects/card animations...
The dialogue paired with the images works pretty well, though you might need to look into a way to make it contextual with progress so the word matches (Eg: Switching to "Fuck/Blowjob/Plow/Whatever" to match the action.) Some will argue that the "sex" button with a cash requirement is a bit of a shallow way to integrate the scenes with the blackjack. Though I can't really think of another way to do it that isn't something like impressing the dealer with risky plays/bets. Some kind of perk/gameplay enhancement through cash might be another thing to look into.
Mal0 having more than 10 scenes makes me think that having a completely free dealer (as in, all of her scenes existing in the game) might be a good idea.
Another thing that popped into my head was AI genned music that fits each of the dealers. Though I'm not sure how well-versed you are in Audiogen.

The command prompt being open I believe is due to some debugging I was doing, I'm going to remove that for next update. Also yeah, I think my next update for the game itself will be for some sounds and other effects, a bit of card dealing noises and animations could do. I was planning some sorta basic but comfy casino jazz type background music, I don't really know anything about AI genned music and I wonder if music per dealer could end up being jarring due to it swapping pretty often as players go from one dealer to another or to the menu.

As for the dialogue, yeah right now it's working on thresholds of unlocked images, so all images in a certain range will have the same dialogue, if I were to end up going further I'd probably have to do a system where each individual image has its own set dialogue, though perhaps just tightening up the thresholds could be enough. Currently I have 10 sets of loss dialogues as the limit based on 9 thresholds, but given some dealers have around 60 images, the context can be off a bit at times, could maybe go up to 20 dialogue pools. Also not sure if I'm happy about when you have collected all images and the dealer strip button displays a random image how the dialogue is from just the singular post completion pool, may end up best to mix it a bit.

I do kinda like the idea of a shop for some more perks and such, but don't currently have any ideas for what to put into it aside from some modifiers to bet payouts or perhaps some "insurance" consumables that limit your losses, perhaps in place of the standard blackjack insurance mechanic that tends to be a net negative for the players.

I was thinking of having Lizzy be the free option, though Sophia may be good for that given she's being the face of the game. I think what I'll do is probably have a free male, female, and intersex option available once I get that other male dealer I was working on done.

Even referencing the book's dialogue.

I was thinking, I also would like to add in more futa characters, but also I know not everyone's really into futa, and it'd be nice to have more options, so I've been thinking that on some characters I'll likely have alternate versions of the same character. Saves me having to pick just one thing for a given character. So for example we could have Loona with and without a dick. They would in effect be entirely separate characters with some different though similar personality dialogues.

I think that would be the safe option but it is your game so you do you, I think the game having the AI cg tag already got people skewed on checking out your game. I think the plus about this is probably a modding aspect which can get around AI cg tag if people do not like it.

Yeah, I know a lot of people are pretty anti AI in general and that's fine, but I personally don't mind it, and I don't really have a feasible method of producing the absolute amount of images I want per dealer to really storyboard out the scenes I want to make unless I had a budget ranging in at least the tens of thousands of dollars for entire teams of artists along with months of full time art development time and storyboarding, but I'm not a rich man, nor do I have a lot of free time or a team, I produce this game because it's fun and because the funding for it may help me get more time to work on more games without AI use in them. Besides that, I like that AI images gives me a good amount of control over the image compared to outsourcing it, I run a custom setup on my own rig and have been dabbling with AI image generators since they were first being developed since I'm a programmer and very interested in such technology. I know people say a game like this could be made in a couple hours, but I spend all day just setting up one dealer, think I put about 12 hours in yesterday for my day off just trying to get Mal0 done after each other day not quite being able to get her proportions right or come up with a scene, theme, or series of events I really was set on. Not to mention the game itself has to be programmed, tested, debugged, etc and is essentially a free blackjack game given away in its full functionality.

I do hope the modding aspect allows people to do what they want with the game, they can take out all the original image folders if they want or change them up however they like, dialogue can be shifted around and set to new things with much more customization than initially provided, and even things like the little advertisement buttons and title screen image can be outright removed from the files if someone doesn't want them displaying. Cards can also be swapped out if someone has their own personal deck to swap in. So really any character can be added and with any image they want to put in, I just of course am not going to go and be repackaging a bunch of art ripped directly from galleries of a bunch of artists and then go try and run a patreon off that, but I have made my own little personal mods trying it out.

 

[olaf_yaddax]

Good luck

 

[Bowlcutcultmember]

On second thought yeah a constantly changing theme might not work well. Though some nice jazzy base background music would be nice.

He really did build the Theme Park with Blackjack and Hookups


Yes, I know he said Hookers and not Hookups, but it's close enough, just let me have this!

Another new update out. Didn't like the whole month between updates before so I wanna do smaller updates biweekly. Been very busy but did get a new dealer out and some improvements to the game. Importantly, I also have improved my workflow a bit. Wanted to give some more to all the free users too, so Vincent, our new dealer, along with Sophia and Lizzy will have all their images available in the free version to unlock, enjoy.

I see busty argonian and cute fembois, I download.

I see half their images are locked behind pay-wall, I cry.

Had fun playing your game, I really like the characters and images that you have put in so far, and the fact you made it so others can add their own characters and images is amazing. However I feel like the game is going to be limited by the fact it is just blackjack. Feel like if it had more to it like other game modes/casino games/mini games to play or fun mechanics to make playing blackjack and earning money from it, it would make the game more then just keep trying to win a hand to unlock a image.

 

[Bowlcutcultmember]

Definitely think OP should consider doing "Episodes" in addition to the current unlock system. I'm trying to think of it in terms of something that could be made easily moddable to make your own, but basically something like:

[intro scene where player and dealer talk back and forth. Setting up the game/event. Can either use sprites or CGs]
[Blackjack game commences, with optional objectives/win conditions. Options for progressive dialogue between hands and victory/loss. Also CGs for both of those]
[Here it branches again. Can either lead into a bad/hard end that forces you to restart the episode, or a different path. The example that came to mind would be a dom/sub route depending if the player won or loss, leading to a different set of cgs/dialogue. You could also have a victory lead into another in-between exchange between the MC and Dealer, which leads into another Blackjack game]

If OPsgaylover sees I'd love to know what he thinks of this. I see modding as a big focus of this game, and this feels like a good way of pursuing progressive/story-driven stuff, like "dating" a dealer, or a progressive match where she loses more and more clothing. Could also have a "hardcore" toggle to choose whether you can restart from a hand or have to restart from the beginning of an episode.
