Development
Hey guys, for about a month now I've been working on developing a game, and I think I've finally reached a point where I can start sharing some details about it, particularly the systems, the art style, and the general theme of the game.
As far as development towards a release goes, I'm still gathering the assets for a few more scenes and fleshing out the core systems, but I'm hoping to have something playable by the end of the year.
Development Update #1
Development Update #2
Story
After waking up in a completely foreign world full of magic and danger, our protagonist, Bryan Smallwood (name changeable), an avid reader of Chinese and Japanese isekai novels and a total neet, finally believes he has the chance to make something of himself using his knowledge of all those novels' tropes and become the protagonist he always wished he was, but unfortunately for Bryan, it seems he's destined to continue being a loser.
This game is very much a parody of sorts on Japanese and Chinese isekai light novels and pokes fun at a lot of the tropes used, such as the main protagonist starting out as a loser, grandpas in bottles, building a harem, and being the main protagonist even though they were losers before being visited by Truck-kun.
Themes
The game is very much about netorare and netorase, giving the player the opportunity to work towards the kinds of scenes they would like to see, and once those main routes have been more fleshed out, adding a harem or protagonist route where the player can actually keep the girls to himself.
Planned themes going off the F95 tag system are: milf, anal, BDSM, cosplay, dating sim, exhibitionism, female dominion, footjob, group sex, handjob, interracial, lesbian, masturbation, milf, monster girl, multiple penetration, oral sex, pregnancy, prostitution, sandbox, sex toys, spanking, titfuck, vaginal sex, virgin, and voyeurism.
and then for potentially planned tags: beastiality, petrification, monsters, watersports, humiluation, forniphilia, and futa/trans.
And then there are tags that'll never be included: scat, guro, snuff, lolicon, shota, and other similar extreme fetishes.
Gameplay
The gameplay is very much inspired by games such as Karryn's Prison, Nymphomania Priestess, and Saria Reclaimed, with a battle-fuck combat system where enemies can do attacks showing cut ins on screen of the enemy doing lewd things to the female protagonist if they have too many corruption points.
Combat will be a battle of paper, scissors, and rock with different elements, where each element counters one and loses to another, and the strategy will be recognizing which element the enemy is using and countering it.
Now if one of the heroines is in your party, then during combat they will be AI-controlled, and you'll have a list of commands you can give them to use certain elements on whatever enemy they are targeting to help them defeat their enemies, or you can choose to make them use attacks that will get them countered, resulting in them losing and more lewd things happening.
Outside of combat, the player will be able to interact with NPCs and complete quests that will lead to scenes similar to those in more sandbox style games.
While walking around the world, you'll see the party window on the right side of the screen with which ever heroine is in your party, and you can track their stats, talk to them, or check on them.
If you have other party members, such as one of the Netorare villains, you'll be able to catch them doing lewd things with the heroine, such as groping or fingering, which will be reflected on the side of the screen.
The female protagonists will have a lust meter and an affection meter, and when the lust meter is full, the female protagonist will want to do lewd things. If there's a villain in your party, they'll temporarily leave to do lewd stuff together and come back.
If there is no villain, she might just leave to go masturbating somewhere, or if the protagonist has enough affection, she might even do something with him, and this will work similarly in combat as well, where the heroine and the villain will do lewd stuff in the background while you're fighting.
Characters
Bryan Smallwood (name changeable)
Bryan is the main protagonist, having been a loser in his previous life, having just lost his job, being about to get evicted, and also having recently found out his girlfriend was cheating on him with the landlord.
Bryan, being an avid reader of light novels, quickly adjusts to his new environment, and even though he transmigrated into the body of a cripple who is unable to become a mage, he's still optimistic because isn't it usually the case that the protagonist starts off at rock bottom? He believes he just needs to find his cheat system.
Saphira Evergreen
Saphira is the main heroine of the story, and in this world, she's considered a genius after quickly becoming a high level acolyte (the first stage towards becoming a mage in this world) at the early age of nineteen.
Saphira could best be described as a friendly, energetic young girl who's addicted to fighting and possesses a very confident and almost stubborn personality owing to her amazing talent as a mage, but much to the dismay of her teachers, she's been pursuing a more unorthodox school of magic, opting to focus on her body and physical strength.
Elder Esther
Elder Esther is the secondary heroine of the story and the love interest of the original Bryan before he died and had someone transmigrate into his body.
Elder Esther is one of the most powerful magi in the entire region and is known as the "ice queen" owing to her extremely cold and detached aura and never changing facial expression thanks to the Ice Phoenix technique she trains in that's slowly been making her less than human.
Elder Esther's route is mostly about trying to help heal her and balance the technique she's been training in with something fire-related, which is where the protagonists or potentially villains come into the picture.
Albus Dreihand
Albus Dreihand is the uncle of the protagonist, whom Bryan lives with, and is one of the villains in the story who will potentially steal Esther or Saphira from the protagonist.
And he was once a high level mage, similar to Elder Esther, and a renown alchemist, but after an accident, his level fell and he retired to his homestead outside of town, spending all his time focusing on brewing spirit wines.
It just so happens that, being a fire mage who focuses on brewing special wines, he could be of great help to Esther for a price.
Bryan will unknowingly do quests for Albus, gathering various herbs to earn money to try and fix his crippled body, not realizing he's been helping his uncle steal one of his potential harem members.
Other Characters
The other routes haven't been fleshed out yet or had art assets made for them, but one of those routes will be your BBC route, although I hope to actually develop the character beyond just a giant black dick.
The third route will be about an overbearing futa princess with a huge dick from a powerful kingdom who visits the area on a mission and happens to meet Saphira and thinks she'd make a good addition to her collection.
And the fourth route will be an ancient dark elf beast master who very much likes to use humans as furniture and slaves and use them as treats for her pets. This would be the lesbian bdsm slave type route with optional bestiality further down the line.
and then a fifth route, which would just be monsters and enemies just meeting around the world during combat and maybe some other scenes, and would basically be the heroine slut route.
Final Thoughts For Now
I'll share some more screenshots at the bottom of the various windows, gameplay, and some of the scenes that have been developed, as well as the level of dialogue you can expect from the game.
All the character art and scene art are pretty much final, but all the UI elements and RPG Maker sprites are placeholders for now.
I would like to have fully realized scenes similar to other games from renpy novels or daz3d projects instead of what you typically see in RPG Maker games, where it's just some images overlayed with the game in the background.

Combat Screenshots
The screenshots taken of the combat system still have placeholder assets meant to show the heroine on screen during combat and her image changing depending on her status of clothing whether she's fully clothed, damaged clothes or naked and her expression which would change every 20% of the lust bar being filled similar to games like karryn's prison or Saria reclaimed.
as well as illustrating what a combat cut in would look like if an enemy uses a lewd attack as well as the dialogue in the battle log.
These screenshots are what the scenes would typically look like as well as conversations with NPC's.
