Now there's Damien's model left
Haha, about that, I'm actually working on him for a couple of days now and I finally made a significant difference from his face model before.
This is the current.
And this one is before xD Looks goofy I know. Not the mature Damien I'm trying to achieve.
Though I might keep the hair color from before.
I finished most of what I really need for my planned scenes. (The ones in gold frames) I've built quite the roster although in games like Eternum, their character cards might be more diverse and big. Some of these cards are just a variant of the same character though. Like Ophelia having 2 variants as well as Clara, the homeless. Then the MC. I'll continue this another day and probably create the slightly older and the older version for both Iriel and Sofia.
But while I know that this part is just a smaller part of the project, what I should really be focusing is finding the right map or creating the right map for my scenes which I will take more time to learn about since they are locked behind paywalls on patreon and even scarce when I try to look at tutorials for.
About the content, be straight forward with all planned tags right from the start, you will get a lot of negative reaction if peoples come across unexpected and unavoidable specific fetishes, I'm stating the obvious here of course, but as long as you're crystal clear about your intentions with the game, you can spare yourself a lot of the hate that will almost inevitably come your way.
Yeah I guess I should be more upfront about what my game contents will contain. While I do think that this is still essentially a corruption game, the story had changed as well as the character dynamics.
Damien is still gonna get subjected to Sabrina's corruption, though I do intend for him to keep his own sexual interests. In Rosewood, suppose that there's a phenomena that affects people's mood for sexual activity. Sabrina just happens to find the source of it. The drug. The town government is secretly feeding a portion of the populace with the drugs for an experiment.
While also having hotspots for the "secret dealings" of certain people involved in the Mayor's little syndicate. When you see these hotspot, it's what most people would call the Rosewood's Underworld where very depraved things can happen. Damien meets Clara through Sabrina. She's an orphan and her "mother" just passed away a few days ago from the hunger and torment she received. In a weird string of luck, Clara has never been touched by anyone until Damien. Her "mother" always protected her with her life but Clara knows about the suffering her mom went through.
Damien gets framed up as intended. There's no more step-brother or father in the story as of now. I'll think about it later on but the main antagonist is the Mayor for this one anyways. His professor was the culprit. He investigates and finds out what really happened and got his professor kicked through the help of their Principal Amara, who happens to also become the new Professor for Damien's class after. So anyways, Professor Grisha is a part of the shady group in Rosewood, one of the Mayor's underling's underling. A bottom feeder. He framed Damien by pure coincidence as it didn't matter who took the blame.
In Damien's suspension before he got back to his university, he got to investigate these hotspots and learn more about the truth with the drugs. Deepen his relationship with Sabrina and take care of Clara in the bare minimum. Clara eventually opens up to Damien. You can call it Stockholm Syndrome.
Damien finds more about Professor Grisha's involvement which led to him breaking in the school and taking the video evidence of Grisha's acts. Caden, Damien's bestfriend being the quality hacker he is, sent the clip to the school management and Professor Grisha to blackmail them and give favorable conditions to Damien as an apology.
Grisha resigns and the university clears Damien's name in an announcement as an apology. Damien can finally continue life as normal. But being involved with such powerful things like the drug and the underworld, Damien simple couldn't turn a blind eye to it. He finds out more about Sabrina and how she once was a victim of the system which led to her eccentric nature. Sabrina brought Damien to Clara for a reason. She may have wanted to save her but didn't know how because she couldn't save herself. If she let Clara be, she would eventually go to those assholes that killed her mother in order to survive. Damien was just the better option.
Damien was enraged on Sabrina and Clara's behalf and decides to take the organization down. But because they're still being subjected to the drug, even though subtle, crazy things still happen in Damien's house.
I'll go off lore now but that's the gist of my story.
Lyra is a sexually suppressed woman while Iriel is sexually curious by nature. And with small doses of the drug contaminating the water source of their area. You probably can guess what would happen. Damien is no exception to this.
WOAH. Okay sorry for rambling there xD I also find myself typing my heart out sometimes when I'm in the mood.
and the opposite is equally true, getting criticism (whether good or bad) doesn't mean you HAVE to change, for me the most important is to feed your imagination.
Yeah I'm feeling more comfortable with the way my story is structured as of now. Maybe I should change Iriel and Sofia's character designs and age them up a little to match the 16 year old look. That's their supposed age anyways, but Iriel is short and is a late bloomer. Sofia is just slightly taller than her but they're both short.
Clara is 18 years old while Sabrina is 20 as well as Jasmine being 21. Damien is 20. Lyra is 38. Ophelia is 39. Professor Amara should be 29.
