Hi there, I'm unchained. I'm new here.
Over the last few months, I've been playing around with a small project, a game I've been calling DisGrace. It was meant to be a 2D RPG, my first thought was essentially CoC with graphics. Then recently, I had a thought - we have a huge amount of adult games floating around this site and others like it, but there are remarkably few adult games with any kind of modding support. The few mods that we do have are mostly either translations, or uncensoring patches. I looked into my game, and I realized it wouldn't actually be all that difficult to implement decent modding support.
Essentially, this is what I'm thinking: instead of hard-coding everything in the game, every single character/location/quest/inventory item/etc would have its data stored in a separate JSON file. With a setup like that, in order to modify something, all you'd have to do is open the file in a text editor and change its values. It would also make it incredibly simple to create mod-making tools, which would basically just be a program that offers a simple, user-friendly interface for changing those values. That would basically make this game the porn equivalent of Skyrim, a game where you can create a new quest/item/character plugin easily using a dedicated mod-making tool.
What I have so far is just a very rough draft, but just to show the idea in practice: I've created a simple file with JSON formatting, one that looks like this:
And when I feed that file to the game, this is what I get:
The art itself is hella crude, as I haven't really devoted much time to it, but it should at least be enough to show the concept nicely. For example, if you wanted to give her demon wings instead of fairy wings, all you'd have to do is modify two lines of text, or simply use a mod tool to do it with a few clicks.
Tl;dr: the adult gaming community could really benefit from having a game with Skyrim-like mod support, so I'm thinking about devoting some actual time and effort to this little project. I chose to make it 2D because it's easier to import a custom sprite than a custom 3D model, and making 3D sex animations that look good is in my opinion a lot more difficult than doing the same in 2D.
Right now, I only have unpolished art and a few basic animations, but I'm fairly confident I could turn this into a decent game eventually, which finally brings me to my question: would people enjoy playing a game like that? Before I start to work on it, I'd like to see if it's the kind of game people would actually play, so what do you guys think?
