For those that are watching, and don't mind a bit of spoiling, I'd love an opinion on how the Air Duct path looks. One person I asked says it looked cute. I'm not sure if it keeps in with the proper characters. If you need a link it's in the spoiler of the previous comment.

Thanks for the thought out answer, it really does help. The place I'm aiming for is to have the game to have mixes of cuteness, humor, and hardcore stuff. The balance will be fun to maintain. The one thing I am aiming for is that bondage can also be sensual and romantic in some cases. And it can be cruel in other cases. It will depend on who Meghan will interact with and how things go.

I don't want to spoil too much in these posts, so I won't go on too much further into things.

Interesting idea with devops, git and jenkins. Probably would´ve used them as well if I havnt found sth better.
I prefer ZFS snapshots and win shadowcopies for small projects now though.
ZFS replication is such an awesome way to backup, too.

Can ZFS snapshots branch and merge between team members? And being able to share them with the jenkins server for automated builds?

I'll be the first to admin that git is terrible for game development, because of all the binary files. The industry standard is perforce. But to get that working nicely you need to fork out some money (like for the server if you want it stored in the cloud) or have some sort of local server for it, which can be prone for disasters. It's all a balancing act.

You can have clones of snapshots, and make those into different datasets. But merging wont be trivial.
Theres ZFS deduplication, too which would allow those datasets to be small on the actual filesystem. That's probably overkill though. (Great use-case for that is have a game server where X ppl can store their Steam library and it only has to store deltas for user data for the same game, basically reducing space requirements by X.)

Main idea still is that ppl work on the same shared network folder. UE has features to share stuff like cache already, unless ppl try to edit same file at once it should work fine. You can ofc combine both, like git only for C++ code and snapshots for anything else.

I setup snapshots to automatically save every 5 min, they get pruned after 2h as well. Then there's daily saves at 0:00.
Rolling back whole project takes 1-2min via Windows shadowcopies (depending on filecount, smb struggles with it a bit, totally not optimized for nvmes) but can be done basically instantly via Truenas UI.

Jenkins should still be able to build fine, could be triggered semi-automatic for example. The build could then be on same drive and can be rollbacked at zero cost (snapshots take little space, only few kbs/mb or so).

I'll be the first to admin that git is terrible for game development, because of all the binary files. The industry standard is perforce. But to get that working nicely you need to fork out some money (like for the server if you want it stored in the cloud) or have some sort of local server for it, which can be prone for disasters. It's all a balancing act.

Git has 3 issues imho:

• difficulty: extra layer of software/commands, artists have little experience with it, even dev guys sometimes struggle with it
• space: hashing of data = basically double space cost since most big assests cannot be compressed anyways, as you noted, thats an issue for game dev, for normal source code its still awesome
• speed / bloat: a result from space as well, why store history of lets say textures for months/years? once they are done, they are done. If you need to redo them have backup of your last X hours or days ready.

Im trying to have an Ulysses pact for my experience with UE, since it tries to become an "all-in-one" solution. => reduce the amount of extra tools needed. Its newest version features a new material editor thats starting to replace Blender. Heard migrating is kinda a pain though, for that you definitely want to have full working folders of the whole project backed-up.

My Truenas server currently has 3 nvme-ssds in "raid-5" and 8 hdds in "raid-6".

Edit 15.05:
Should be also noted, that Win10 for whatever reason doesnt like working on shared folders. Programming can fail, while DX12 cooked, Vulkan SM6 would always throw errors. Linux should give less troubles.
Fix for Win is kinda easy though, Im using UE locally and robocopy files to a samba share. That way I get:
* ~2,5 copy backups
* snapshot feature of ZFS
* better control when to snapshot, basically like a git-commit but its 1 command and saves whole project AND the packaged game at that point
* possibility to mimic a "perforce workflow" with co-workers (one pushes, then waits for other to get that push and push his stuff, then both are synchronized again)
* better performance due to sambas poor performance with small files (nfs is faster, but harder to use snapshots with)

Theres iSCSI, too, but thats kinda nasty to setup. Should trick UE more into thinking its another normal harddrive though...

There's some fun ideas in here! If I'd add, if you want to increase visibility, maybe post about it in some of the community discords of similar games. I know Kinky Dungeon is similar in interest and has a tab for people that want to advertise their own projects.

Thanks for the suggestion. I want to get much further in development than I am before doing that. I'm currently bogged down in getting my art pipeline working.

I have some simple male and female meshes going, I have clothes going. Trying to figure out the best way to do hair is next, and then getting everything to work nicely in she cel shaders. A lot to learn, and to boil down into something workable.

Yes, that was all done in the past week! No work this week, so I could focus on the game for once. It's still a disorganized mess, but ChatGPT is good at taking my stream of consciousness and producing lore documents. Sometimes (a lot) I have to correct it and adjust things, and make sure it's not plagiarizing. Sometimes, I go with what it has. One of the big complaints people have with it is that AI hallucinates. To me, that's a benefit because I'm making a fictional universe.

Summary: The game is still in progress, and thanks to ChatGPT, I've been able to push out a lot of world-building information onto the world anvil site. This is a lot of 'throw it at the wall and see what sticks'. And there are some things I will have to do without ChatGPT's help, like sexual attacks and skills.

Woohoo, lore! What I read so far was pretty interesting.

Woohoo, lore! What I read so far was pretty interesting.

Thanks, it seems to be coming together on everything. Still a fair amount of lore to put together. With enough lore there and enough defined then when it comes to building everything out, there'll be less unknowns.

 

[Aridecan]

And I as I work on things, I was thinking the JMC (The Juentual Mining Corporation) would probably be the most exploitive. But the hitsunami group seems to be worse. And this just came up as I started to work on the history of the station rats. Turning into something very interesting for Meghan and crew to discover if they go down that path.

This look incredible I can't wait for it to release, as a big fan of Bondage and fighting. If I can ask do you know when demo will be avalible. Keep working couse this looks very promising. Best regards

I hope to get a demo out this year (2025). It all really depends on how much time I get to work on it. And if I can find things to make the work flow better. I do plan on releasing some tech demonstrators as I start to build things up. Like a combat proof of concept or something similar to that.
Right now I've gone down the lore rabbit hole, and I'm working on demographics of the city. And defining a major event in the lives of everyone in the city.
I started to type at chatGPT and talk about what we're calling the exodus. What's called the Juentual Flu broke out on the planet 5 years ago, severe flu like symptoms that only affected people less than 18 years old. It was 100% fatal, and the only way to cure it was to get off the planet. So 95% of the population left the planet and went to the neighbouring space colony. This is what ChatGPT has said about the Exodus. I found it interesting and it helps to fill out the lore around the city.

The Exodus Timeline

1. First Month: Scrambling to Survive
   • Limited Shuttle Capacity:
     • Only shuttles available, evacuating ~2,818 people in the first month.
     • Tensions rise as families compete for limited space, with corporate influence dictating priority.
   • Mobilizing the Liners:
     • Mega-corporations fund the purchase or repurposing of 10 passenger liners.
     • Heroic logistical effort to coordinate FTL travel:
       • Earth to Departure Point: Maneuvering within Sol-like systems to align with FTL lanes.
       • FTL Travel: ~1 day between stars but requiring careful timing to align departure and destination stars.
       • Juentual 3 Arrival: Each liner appears staggered over two weeks, requiring intense coordination.
2. Months 2–2.5: Liner-Based Evacuations
   • Catapult Capacity at Peak:
     • With 9 liners operational and 1 undergoing emergency repair at any given time, evacuation proceeds at full capacity (1,600 passengers/hour).
     • Disasters and delays extend the timeline to ~2.5 months.
   • Staggered Liner Arrivals:
     • Liners arrive 0.5–5 days apart, stretching over two weeks to stabilize evacuation throughput.

Disasters and Complications

1. Catapult Capacitor Failure:
   • Disaster: Overuse damages capacitors, leading to catastrophic power surges and explosions.
   • Impact: Evacuations halted for 1–2 days while repair crews risk their lives to restore functionality.
   • Narrative Opportunity: Players could relive or investigate these events, adding drama and stakes.
2. Liner Engine Malfunction:
   • Disaster: A liner's primary engine fails during the journey, delaying its arrival by 1–2 days.
   • Impact: Overcrowding at the shuttle launch sites as passengers queue, desperate to leave.
   • Heroism: Engineers aboard the liner working against the clock to restore functionality.
3. Shuttle Mishaps:
   • Mid-Trip Breakdown: A shuttle experiences mechanical failure en route to the liner, requiring rescue.
   • Overcrowding: Mismanagement or panic causes shuttles to exceed capacity, risking system failures.
   • Players’ Role: Potentially saving passengers, managing panic, or repairing systems under fire.
4. Societal Tensions:
   • Elite Priority: Widespread resentment as elites secure evacuation spots ahead of non-elites.
   • Black Market Influence: Criminal gangs exploit the chaos, charging exorbitant fees for shuttle seats or sabotaging evacuation efforts to consolidate power.

Heroism and Sacrifice

1. Corporate Coordination:
   • Rival megacorporations unite briefly to fund and mobilize liners, underscoring the gravity of the crisis.
   • Potential narratives of sabotage or opportunistic behavior despite the shared goal.
2. Engineering Feats:
   • Repairing the catapult under fire or with limited resources becomes a testament to ingenuity and resilience.
   • Liner crews going above and beyond to ensure passengers’ safety, despite life-threatening risks.
3. Personal Stories:
   • Characters like Imara reflecting on the exodus and the emotional scars left behind.
   • Players learning about lives saved, lost, or forever altered by the chaos.

Key Narrative Themes

1. Desperation and Resilience:
   • The exodus highlights the fragility of human systems but also the unyielding will to survive.
2. Inequality and Injustice:
   • The elite’s preferential treatment contrasts starkly with the struggles of non-elites.
3. Heroism and Human Spirit:
   • Amid disasters and chaos, stories of selflessness and ingenuity shine through.

Gameplay Opportunities

1. Interactive Flashbacks:
   • Missions to repair the catapult, rescue shuttle passengers, or navigate liner crises.
2. Investigation and Reflection:
   • Players uncover the untold stories of the exodus, adding depth to the world’s history.
3. Societal Consequences:
   • The exodus leaves lasting scars, influencing societal dynamics and character motivations.

This narrative offers a rich tapestry of events that can deeply tie into character backstories, societal themes, and the game’s overarching lore



I have been attempting to stream some of the world building but I always get a bit nervous about twitch TOS. But we'll see what happens with it.
