VN Ren'Py Etlina's Principle [v0.02.1] [PipPoad]

[RandomGuy99]

That's a really good idea, but as you said - this is just x2, x3 and more of work, because you will have 2 or more states of the character. I guess, you can kinda conpensate with a "flags", like, if you'll not make a augment choice, the whole route will be blocked. I saw something similar, when you can let one of the important characters die at the start, blocking his\her questline and never meet other factions

I would not recommend body parts augment as choice. This will end up adding crazy amount of renders for a very niche fetish that dont really affect the game story. Unless the body augment have some story significance then its fine. Eg giving additional weapon or ability that enable the character to survive a fight scene etc

If you say, the body augments purely for one sex scene by all means go crazy. As long as those "augments" will not be carry out through the entire game. Reason not all like those and it will be a bitch to render few paths with just changes to certain body parts.

Mutuals? Commensals?? I didn't know such words even existed

They don't , but that's imo part of why there's that discrepancy between technical definition and everyday word use.

In the end its all up to you if the idea interests you then by all means play around with it but don't bite off more than you can chew overambitious projects tend to be abandoned because of burnout or stress. This is your project so it isn't the place of anyone here to try and tell you that you have to do something in the end its all up to you on how big you want this project to be or what it will become all i recommend is if you do any thing that some people might not enjoy make sure that they are informed that its in game.

yeah but you also don't want to force someone to "ruin" there favorite girl by forcing them to change for weapons or abilities so by going this route the dev would have to lock it into a side character or units creations witch means that the dev would still be doing a lot of work for very little return. the dev is already making a very niche game with the whole premise being living latex perhaps making a full corruption path would be more appropriate the more corrupt the players actions the more impact on the worlds inhabitance. I guess having a single character and choosing to not augment them they die locking you out of there story would also work but in my option that would be rather underwhelming.

for solo dev, it will be underwhelming. i would rather the dev not have augments cause is bloody high workload. Usually games without a proper team, would not be able to churn out high volume contents

 

[Alteni]

looks promising, i will try it !

 

[Samiscoolyay]

Any idea when V2 will be out?

 

[PipPoad]

Not until march, I guess.

Again, it all comes down to the need to have a team

This is also true. Dilema "Make something that most of people will like, but you'll be uncomfortable during the process OR do what you personally enjoy with a risk to upset the players because your vision of the game is not matching with their" is strong. I've already seen some comments, where people was excited about the potential to make MC a symbiote suit user - can imagine how disappointed they'll be.

I think people will be more concern on the female characters than the MC since its technically a porn game. You can also set paths for the game where they can stay human, hybrid or full symbiote. Also there is no rule to say you have to finish all 3 paths together; you can technically do one path all the way to the end then create another path later

You have to make the game the way that you are most comfortable, most passionate and most enjoyable to you (even if there will be haters, haters are unavoidable, not like NTR which is usually avoidable), mainly because if you yourself (the developer, writer) doesn't like or enjoy the game (because of certains contents added to the game that the majority like but not you), then you can't expect others to like it because the game is not going to be any good, it just won't be natural and the players can sense that it was lackluster.

But if you just want to please people with their kinks, don't make a game or tell a story, instead just make a selection of scenes like a Scene Replay Gallery, that showcases kinks like anal sex, NTR, bestiality, tentacles, BSDM, lesbian or whatever. Not sure if anyone want that 'game' though because basically they can watch porn for that.

Yeah, so in the end, just make a game that tell stories you are passionate about and most enjoyable to you. Pretty sure there will be likers.

Just my 2 cents. Cheers.

P/S: If you are just looking for support (money), then just do the harem + incest game just like thousands like it, make sure to use very hawt female models, write in proper English. These are the basics money making recipe.

 

[Deboksi]

I see pregnancy tag i follow

 

[Lord of the Asses]

I enjoyed the game's concept, which was both interesting and refreshing. There's a lot of potential, and I can't wait for the next update. Good luck, Dev!

Indeed its hot sand of antarctica.

 

[f9account]

Do all the scenes involve the MC?
Or are there any that take place from a different POV?
Or even no POV, but not MC either, i.e. he's not just standing there watching girls.

Huh, good thinking. Make additional paths as a "DLC"

Totally agreed here dude. These 2 cents of yours was really valuable

First 2 are in the foggy future, female models are pretty hot (I hope?), and my English grammar sucks fat tentacle dick. 25% of the sucess rate
