VN Ren'Py Mace Of Power | A fantasy visual novel with sorceresses and dragons | Development Discussion Thread

- regarding the models, I've tried to make them a bit more realistic given their respective boob sizes

Folded like a cheap suit edit: your prerogative, of course, lol.

I don't understand.

New character reveal.

 

[Ying Ko]

I don't understand.

Whenever a developer makes a game where the characters have large breasts, you will get some people tying to get the dev to reduce the breast size citing realism as a reason. If the sexual fantasy is to have a incredibly buxom lover, than realism is not a legitimate reason to change the character design. Dragons are not real, but would you remove them from your game, because of that?

This quote implies you redesigned your characters because of the "realism" people.

I believe you misunderstood what the developer was trying to convey. I read that as if MelanColic gave them fuller bodies (thickness) to match the large natural shaped breasts of the characters. I.E. bodies that can support the bust.

I feel foolish now. So I should.

 

[Exalted Text]

This looks and sounds glorious.

P.S. The tits look incredible in all of the images that you've posted so far. Don't reduce them.

Let me clarify. What I was trying to say is that, given that there are some busty characters (i won't change them), I've tried to designed them at least believably busty: thicker bodies, hip and shoulders ratio, tallness (some characters are quite tall) and also, some sag in the breasts.
There was a comment about the sagginess, I was mainly answering to that. Some of characters have bigger boobs; realistic natural boobs have various amounts of sag to them. So, I've designed the characters with this in mind.

Yes, this.

Yes, this.

Ok, that clears things up, I owe you an apology, sorry.
What you've showed so far looks cool, I especially like the magical bludgeoning weapon and the larger breasted women. This could be an enticing example of the classic defeat the villain and get the "girl" power fantasy.

No biggie.
I won't spoil the story, but there are definitely power fantasy elements to it.

Reminds me of my Ex's tits when we separated when she was still in her early 30s. The render is impressive and mostly accurate to a natural body.

My only questions are... Where.... And When??? Cause I AM looking for a new VN.

 

[TheCragger]

My interest is very peaked in this project. I thought I'd ask a few questions if you felt up to answering any of them. I know some might be unknown and some might give away more then you wished.

In regards to those that joint the harem through the game.

-Will there be exhibitionism? Such as getting them to dress in even more revealing outfits or perhaps nothing at all.

-Will there be sextoys (buttplugs etc.) and piercings that some can wear? In my head I have this silly idea of them being ways to channel power to the mace from the harem members.

-Will all the harem members join through romance or will some be captured such as being in league with the dragons or members of a dragon's harem?

In general.

-Will there be any bondage or bdsm?

-Is there anything about the power fantasy that you hinted at you might be able to reveal?

-Will all the dragons be enemies?

-And last not a question but I like the mace seeing the concept, it gives off vibes like The Morningstar from Castlevania.

quick progress update:

I've been working on the writing and coding, as well as some of the environments.
First release - Chapter 1 ( if everything goes as planned) will be released in a few weeks.
New teasers will be shared in a few days.

- Yes, there will be Exhibitionism (I will add it to the planned tags)
- Sextoys? It's a taboo subject within the coven of sorceresses. Nobody wants to talk about it. But maybe, someone will be caught red-handed. Piercings? Maybe same characters, like orc-women (their character design is still in progress, they show up mid-story)
- All I can say is that... there are different characters of different factions with different kinds of interactions with the MC


- Bondage/BDSM? For some scene, probably, more or less, but is not the main focus in this VN
- Power Fantasy elements: Bellow there's an example of the hero's journey map used for narrative purposes.

Given this, at different times within the story, the MC will go trough transformations, from "novice" to "master", if you will. These transformations will be written in a way that makes the reader feel powerful. Example: Not only you'll be able to come back from the abyss, but you will do it in a cool way.

- Yes, also... the mace of the Witch-King from LOTR
