Life of Guy

About the Game

Life of Guy is a light-hearted sandbox adult visual novel about a man and his monster.

The game takes place in a fictional world where regular humans and supernatural entities (known as Specials) live side by side albeit with obvious frictions due to their innate differences.

The main story centers around Guy who has been possessed by a Lust Goddess. He must now navigate his new cursed life and befriend many supernatural characters in an effort to learn how to rid himself of his demonic passenger and return to his normal life.

The game is choice-driven and features various side quests with over 40 unique characters for the player to build relationships with. It's also pretty funny at times, I promise.

The Full game is still in development but the demo is available to play/download in links below. If needed I'll post a direct download link in this thread as well for the demo.

Development Logs

Features

Sandbox Gameplay: Explore the city and choose how you spend your time.
Multiple Romanceable Characters: Build relationships with a diverse cast of Demon/Human characters. (Some are easy and others are harder to get into than MIT... Ha! I kid, I kid)
In-depth Quest System: Take on jobs and sidequests to earn money and unlock new story paths. (I promise to make these more fun but to be fair jobs are rarely fun)
Affinity System: Will tie in to side quests with the individual NPCs each with their own unique vice/virtue affinity.
Character Progression: Improve your demonic skills to unlock new opportunities/quests/scenes (With great power comes great fapability)

I played the demo on itch. I liked the renders/animations, the sense of humor in the story, and especially Cora. Plot-wise, I think some things happen too quickly.

I added the game to my steam wishlist and should revisit it in the future when the full version is released.

I appreciate the feedback, it means a lot. Thanks for playing!

Devlog #1: New Quest, New Faces, and a More Dynamic World!
--------------------
Hey everyone, once again I'll start off by thanking you for joining me on this exciting ride! As you know (or may not know) Life of Guy is my first visual novel and I've been developing and learning a lot in the process. I'm just thrilled to create something that people might enjoy. Okay enough about that, let's get to the content updates I've been working on since they are pretty substantial AND extremely funny imo.

New Characters
Mina - Special, Wrath Affinity (You can probably tell that by the picture though)
--------------------

Gwen - Special, Temperance Affinity
--------------------

Sunny - Special, Envy Affinity
--------------------

Jackie - Human, Greed Affinity
--------------------

--------------------

New Randomized Dialogue System
In an effort to make the game world feel more alive, I've introduced more randomized dialogues as well as a system for weighted random dialogues to trigger relationship bonuses, unlock quests, and trigger hidden gallery scenes. Many of the repeatable dialogues as well as the repeatable interactive minigames will have secret content unlocks and dialogue so you never know what you might find.
--------------------

New Secret Side Quest - Big Trouble in Little Alley
I've created a new quest at Scooters that can be triggered by the aforementioned dialogue system randomly. I'd tell you more about it but it's super duper secret... but I can say you may or may not learn a little bit more about Chad than you'd like.
--------------------

New Spicy Interactive Minigames with Gwen and Sunny
With the addition of Gwen and Sunny I've added a mash and fill as well as a mash and resist minigame during the spicy back alley scenes. You'll take to the skies with Gwen in order to feed your demonic hunger and possibly unlock a secret scene (hint hint). Or try your best to keep from freezing while "enjoying" your time with Sunny. No need to fret about shrinkage either since it's a given when in the arms of the ice maiden.

Devlog #2: A Whole Lotta New Stuff
--------------------
Hello everyone, thanks again for taking the time to play Life of Guy. It still seems surreal that people are playing a game I've created. I'm super grateful to be able to build this for you. I've been continuing to scale the game horizontally with the addition of new side content. To that end I've added a new quest and location along with new characters and some familiar faces that you'll now be able to interact with. Details below.

New Characters

Six - Android - New Neutral Affinity (Non-Human and Non-Special)
--------------------

Tonya- Special, Humility Affinity
--------------------

Mia and Maya - Humans , Diligence and Sloth Affinities
--------------------

Bree - Human (Deceased), Charity Affinity
--------------------

--------------------
Gray - A grumpy rabbit
--------------------

--------------------

New Quest - The Things I do for Buns
This new quest will open up a new Rabbit Hole HQ location on the map as well as unlock a few characters and reunite the main character with a familiar face. This quest will involve finding 25 different rabbit npcs throughout the game. Each of which will unlock new content/characters/etc. You'll also get a new Fluffle app on your phone to track your progress.

--------------------

New Dialogue and Questions Game with M and M
Mia and Maya dialogue has been added so Guy is able to interact with both of them at the Scooters location. You'll need to best both of them by answering all their questions correctly if you'd like to be rewarded though.

--------------------

New Repeatable Kitchen Activity with Bree
Added a repeatable activity in Guy's home where you can choose to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner depending on the time of day. You can also choose to spend time with Bree and have her cook you a meal which would allow you to grow your relationship with her.

Devlog #3 Adding Main Story Content, New Character, New lewd scenes.

Hello all! This has been an interesting week. Had to shift to a more marketing role for a bit since I've got Steam Next Fest in a few days. Hoping to get some more wishlists and just get more people playing my game in general. I really don't care for the marketing aspect of the process to be honest, but it's necessary. I was able to get some actual development done though and the scenes that I added are actually pretty fun IMHO. This game is heavily choice-driven so a lot of the new content will depend on what actions the player takes. It's nice to give the player as much agency as possible while at the same time understanding that it's just a game so the objective should always be to have fun. Okay, end of rant. Here are the updates:

Added a new main story quest involving Victoria and Pamela.
Added a new optional lewd scene with Pamela.
Added a new Cougaresque character that will unlock conditionally based on the player's choices.
Added a new interactive game to be played during lewd scenes.

I've attached thumbnails below of some of the updates. They're wrapped in a spoiler tag just in case.

Devlog #4: New main story quests and A new video game activity - Adventures of Lustra.

Hey everyone! Been a crazy week with Steam Next Fest, but I was still able to get a good bit of development work done. I added and completed two more main story quests. One of the more interesting additions came in the form of a new activity in the main character's living room area. There will be a new option for 'Play Video Games.' And this will allow the player to play through a funny/over the top game within a game known as Adventures of Lustra. The actual genre of this game will be a harem/breeder style game but in reality the premise will have the player jumping through hoops in order to unlock new content. It's a satirical game and I had a lot of fun writing the dialogue for it. Here is a break down of what I accomplished this week:

Completed:

Main Story Kingmaker Quest - Harold Frothchild

Main Story Kingmaker Quest -Rebecca Morny

Created New Play Video Games activity in the Home location, living room sublocation

In Progress:

Main Story Kingmaker Quest - Marty Made

Please view the screenshots of my efforts below and as always if you enjoy my game and want to support me, please visit my Patreon and sign up for free and Wishlist my game on Steam. Thank you so much!

What about future tags? Are pregnancy and breeding content planned?

Devlog #5: Adding/Updating Relationship Progression with NPCs

Hey everyone, just wanted to give a quick update to some of the things I've been working on post release of v0.2.0

I have been primarily focused on adding more progression with a lot of the available NPCS that you'll encounter in the first chapter of the game. Progressing with a character will lead to unlocking affinity quests that will be needed to earn the necessary affinity points to unlock nodes in the Luciverse. There will also be a system for converting affinities with items or neutral affinity (robot) characters. I've also added the intros to two more 'Play Video Games' activities in the living room, and there will be an optional unlockable "Dream" activity in the Bedroom location provided you have unlocked it by visiting a certain NPC and paying her an exorbitant amount of money.

Changes:
- Added/Enhanced relationship progression for the following characters: Celine, Pamela, Aisha, Sunny, Demona
- Added extra dialogue for the following characters: Olga, Zoraya, Hilda, Demona, Aisha, Jessica
- Added two more video game intros to Play Video Games activity.
- Added unlockable Dream activity in the player Bedroom location.

Devlog #6: New Activities, Sidequests, and Character Progressions

As always, thank you for those who have been keeping up with the game development. I truly appreciate the support as I try to wrap up Chapter 1.

I made A LOT of progress this week. I added a few side quests, two new activities, and a new character. I also added a means of character progression for multiple existing npcs as well as created a new unlockable phone app that will be used to track and convert affinity points. Here's a breakdown of all these changes along with a few screenshots.

Three New side quests - A Drink to remember, Special Delivery, Beyond the Pale Ale
Two new Activities - Dream, Play with Dolls
New Character - Dolly (Neutral Affinity) - A purchasable companion doll
New App - Affinity App - Used to track and convert affinities as part of the affinity system

Devlog #7: New Sidequests, Skip Dialogue option, UI Polish

This week I continued to work on character progressions and a couple of sidequests with Jackie and Carrie npcs. Both of these optional quests will require certain storyline conditions as well as items to unlock and they have multiple endings depending on how you choose to proceed. I also added a lot of UI polish to the dialogue choice option buttons which will now have item icons and quantities.

Another YUGE thing I worked on was an update to my custom visual novel engine that the game is built on. For those who are familiar with Renpy visual novel engine I've added the Skip dialogue functionality to my engine as well. You'll now be able to skip through previously seen dialogues across different saves. This will make it much easier when it's time to farm Steam achievements or alternate content you may have missed during your first playthrough.

TLDR:

New Sidequest - Clutching Your Pearls
New Spicy Scenes with Carrie and Jackie npcs
New Skip button to fast forward previously seen dialogue across different save files
UI Polish - Choice buttons will include icons and quantities when applicable.

Devlog #8: Club Syn VIP Access, Affinity Quests, Easy Money

UPDATES:

This week I continued to work on character quests/affinity quests and I was also able to add the VIP area access with a repeatable activity. This activity will focus on a few familiar Special characters who will pretend not to know you due to the rules of the VIP Area. (Think what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas)

Another feature I added is an easy way to generate wealth for those who don't want to spend too much time grinding the Joblin app jobs. The easy money Sabrina Character will possibly be a bit controversial however since the narrative for her is that she's not conventionally attractive. I thought about this a lot when creating the character, but ultimately decided to just go with it and hopefully her personality will shine through enough to make her looks less important. I did give her a mask which will shroud her face at first. I'll drop a screenshot below and you can decide.

TLDR:

New Club Syn VIP Activity - Prey Pen
New Bathroom fantasy with Bonnie
New Character Sabrina - Easy Money
Various dialogue updates and affinity quest intro stages added.

Devlog #11: Completed Club Syn VIP, more QoL improvements

This week I was able to wrap up the rest of the Club Syn VIP scenes/animations, and I also added a few nice QoL improvements based on recent feedback that I think will make the UI/UX more configurable and the gameplay a bit more fluid. Here is a breakdown of all of this weeks changes and some spicy screenshots at the bottom:

Completed Club Syn VIP scenes for (Mina, Zoraya, Olga, Bonnie, Demona)
QoL Improvements (Show/Hide Dialogue menu, add Text Outline to font, new Skip Time Widget on overworld/city map)
