Pitch your dumb ideas

[someonebody42]

A H game with actual gameplay and RPG mechanics like talents and professions with multiple routes and choices, a system that forces you to have sex or else you get a debuff. Set it in a fantasy world, but make it have actual lore that isn't about sex and add a bunch of relationships and harem mechanics.

I know it's a terrible idea because I already did it

based?

If I were to ever get off my lazy ass and make a game it would be a LitRPG. Still have no idea how that would work as an RPG, but whatever, it'll never happen anyway.

Suddenly, a name for the game came to mind: "The School of Breeding and Reproduction".

That just sounds like a typical doujin set in a high school

Classic Zelda style 2d top down puzzle dungeon game. Use the old mechanic of swapping between 'party leaders', so you have a party but are only playing one character at each time. Each character has different moves/abilities. Instead of finding the bow and being able to solve target shooting puzzles, you get the bow character to do target shooting puzzles.

The kingdom has fallen to the 'ancient evil'. You are the Hero's Ghost, the kingdom's last salvation. In order to act in the world you need to possess and empower various princesses (with your dick). You quest to the different zones, convince the local princess to help (by banging you and awakening her powers), and then beat the local dungeon that needs her particular power. As you go you get the heart piece equivalent and when you give a princess enough you power her up and get new sex scenes.

Not really. In this case, it's not “sex in school”, but an institution that teaches "how to properly procreate offspring". Starting with basic genetics and basal temperature measurements (to determinate best day for conception), ending with childbirth as part of exams.

I want basically an x rated version of True Blood or Underworld focused on vampires and/or wearwolves.

If they go with that idea, they should make it gritty, and not penalize you for killing or draining humans of their blood.

I fucking hate vampire games that get all sentimental about killing. You're an undead monster, you better act like it.

I'm kinda surprised that there aren't a ton of games set in hippie free love communes (read: sex cults). It seems like a setting that would lend itself to a lot of different kinks, even some of the more extreme ones. Orgies, incest, mind control and more would make perfect sense. Minimum amount of porn logic needed. You just need to read up on how RL cults made their members participate in shit like that. Drugs, brainwashing, blackmail, alternative "therapies", good old pseudo-philosophical mumbo jumbo, and so on.

Want to make it a thriller? Add a sociopathic cult leader and some ATF agents.
Want to make it SF or horror? Maybe the cult harbors some dark secrets that only the innermost circle knows about (e.g. the "goddess of love and ecstasy" that they're all worshiping is actually 1) a pagan fertility goddess that demands the occasional human sacrifice, or 2) an eldritch abomination that somehow feeds on libidinal energy, and/or is trying to create a slave race of human-alien hybrids through the cult's drug-addled sex rituals, and/or is trying to tear a hole in the veil that separates our world from whatever daemonic dimension it resides in using said sex rituals, or something along those lines).
Want to make it a drama? Explore the psychological consequences of involvement in a cult that forces (or manipulates) you to transgress various taboos.

Harem and netori? Make the MC the cult leader or his young protégé.
NTR? Oh no, the cult leader stole the MC's wife/girlfriend.
Sharing? Free love, baby!

I get why studios avoid such heavy topics in their games, because they're afraid of garnering too much negative attention (No Limit).

But it's still bullshit we can't have darker themes in video games in today's day in age.

Everything has to be sanitized not to offend anyone and to keep the cattle blissfully unaware.

I get what you're saying, but there are already plenty of games themed around rape, slavery, prostitution, etc. Take Pale Carnations or Karlsson's Gambit. A game set in a cult wouldn't have to be any darker or heavier than they are.


Edit: Hah! I just became a "Member". Only took me 5 years.

Basically a city-builder but with sex and partying character elements. Tentatively titled "Rob Ford Simulator 2012". Or "Tropico 69"

The gist of it would be that you play the mayor of an up-and-coming new town/city/country/etc and you do all of the usual city planning stuff that isn't really within the mayor's remit but that you do there anyway. But there's an extra layer where you may be using your office to your advantage (smoking crack, banging whores, throwing parties, etc) or doing "favours" for people to earn their support in the upcoming midterms (getting the cops to lean on someone's business rival, condemning a building so a pimp can open up a new brothel there, or just bending over for a mafia boss who seems terminally unhappy).

I think this is a dumb idea because the shit doesn't mesh too well. I call out Tropico specifically here because I always found the "you have to embezzle as much cash as possible!" stuff ran contrary to actually having a fun game. All it does is tick up an arbitrary score while you have less resources to build your city with (the actually entertaining bit).

Meanwhile, I've been thinking a lot about underserved genres of porn games, and the least-served but best-suited seemed to be some sort of Total War-alike where country relationships are a lot more sexual; Alliances being more like marriages, being humiliated in war involves a lot more maid costumes and toe sucking than usual, Protectorates bounce on daddy's dick when he asked, Forced vassals being "forced" in more ways than one, etc. Probably mostly unworkable because of budget to make battles worthwhile to watch and the scenes actually be horny and varied. Definitely ways around it but unlikely to see daylight without a significant change in porn economics.

Anyway, the idea was an amalgamation of that. Take the "enrich yourself" element of Tropico, but give the player a reason to work towards it that isn't just score-go-up; Corruption isn't some abstract evil that can be purged from your ranks, it's you deciding on whether you want to build an orphanage or fuck a cheerleading squad.

The other main issue for me is that the more explicitly dom and sub content might clash. It seems far easier to write "you take advantage of the office" content, but I'm way more interested in "people take advantage of you and your office" content. It's kinda hard to naturally work both into the same game and have them feel equally done, vs something where you can just have a fight and the outcome of that sets the tone.

Interesting idea! I like it, but maybe it would work better as a pure (but simple) political sim than as a city builder with political sim elements (like Tropico)?

Hold my beer.

What everybody needs is a game about having a girlfriend that sleeps around behind your back: coworkers, Tinder contacts, your best friends, the grocery store clerk... whoever. You name it.
You only get to discover her true nature after she speaks in dreams and then you spy her activities in her phone, commiting several crimes against privacy that would put your sorry, insecure a** in jail. But that's not the important thing, right?
What can a TRUE man do in a situation like that? Ask for an explaination? Kill her? Gather the pieces of your dignity from the floor and hit the road?
No. Your alpha senses are tingling!
*Caution: do not try this in real life*
You will return the damage and make a cuckquean out of her... by fucking all those men YOURSELF. That's right, you're going to get yourself a wig and ride them so hard and skillfully that they won't touch a woman ever again. All those juicy cocks she adores, stolen. No plan B for her, if she was thinking of abandoning you.
Her dirty, overused vagina is no rival for a very motivated man and his tight little flower.

You won't get to be the alpha male, but Hell if you don't make a mighty fine queen B(itch)!

This but with a power bottom MC that raped each of the men until their dick can't stand up anymore

I get why studios avoid such heavy topics in their games, because they're afraid of garnering too much negative attention (No Limit).

I think it's because most of the player base doesn't want to read heavy topic while they're jerking off or just chilling playing games. If I want to hear about traumatizing rape and human trafficking instead of "tee hee please don't rape me and sell me into slavery (but please do because I love it)" I would turn on the news. I don't understand why some people insist on making much escapism gritty and real. It turns me off and I'm sure it will turn many other people off as well

 

[agelastos]

Of course it will, but some people might still enjoy it. No game/film/book/whatever is for everyone. If you don't want to play it, no one is forcing you.

Caffeine strikes back.

1. Setting for breeding game:
A certain banana republic, for reasons that remain unclear... no, it did not turn into a “country of women,” but the gender imbalance there is extremely high, which has a negative impact on the economy (which was already on its last legs). And some “El Presidente” came up with an idea: make "exotic slave girls" “mail-order brides” the main export to the first world, where the birth rate was hitting another low.

2. An alternative world where dairy cattle never appeared. No, this did not lead to any kind of cannibalism. It's just that being a hucow here is considered no worse for a woman than being a secretary, hairdresser, or waitress. And in expensive and pretentious restaurants, you can always suck organic(*) milk directly from nipple.

*. "No, sir. No hormone therapy, traditional pregnancy and natural delivery only."

Ah, but that would be a good idea! This is for dumb ideas.

More seriously though, yes, it's far more viable (or may have actually been done already/technically attempted) if the focus was on the politics. I think I'd basically just be asking for Suzerain but with porn though (haven't played it yet but is my understanding of the game). The actual city simulation and influence would be taking a back seat and risks being simplified down a lot - depending on the level of complexity, it might simply be that some things are bad choice, some good choice, if they have any effect at all. Also my train of thought was coming from underserved game genres anyway - there's plenty of VN's with minor stat tracking.

Haha! I didn't interpret "dumb ideas" quite so literally.

I'm answering the above person. I don't think the reason that people don't make dark games is because they're afraid of getting mobbed. It's more likely to be because it's too niche and unlikely to sell.

Even on here actual rape game is not as popular as "don't rape me! (But please go ahead I love it)" games. Judging by votes and comments.

Getting back into some RPGM stuff lately... I'd love to play in a Game of Thrones world made with RPGM.
Dumb idea for a game though, I reckon the lawyers would probably unleash dragon fire upon the dev.
