I'm loving the feedback so far. This is so cool to actually get a chance to be transparent about the game.
LI:
I didn't think she looked all that bad. KK is very limited and I tried to build a dark skinned-toned thicc nubian LI from scratch. Fat tits, Bubble butt etc. KK cards and assests like this are virtually non-existent (outside of "dark elf" content) and I'm not a fan of using Daz yet. I have a script for a few other games as well as a few scenes already generated but Liaria is my first creation. (Is she at least a butterface?)
Lol I suppose I could redesign her but then I'd have to redesign the game. If I ever get talented enough to do that, it won't be during development of this particular game as. As a fan, this is one of my most hated things devs do to games. They spend too much time trying to perfect and sometimes end up burned out which equates to an abandoned tag. I have a vision for the butterface thats already prewritten. I am willing to share her concept with another more talented artist in the future who would perhap handle all the artwork while I sort of focus on the director aspect but for now until someone slide into my PMs this is what we got.
AI:
I don't hate AI. Think of it this way, if you removed all of the AI gen art in this particular game, would it still be playable? Could AI ever come it with the unique dialogue this game has? Does the AI art have anything to do with what I believe is the most important aspect of the game (the fapping scenes)? With that being said, AI is getting more sophisticated but for all my purists please understand my human creativity in this game given how limited my resources are for what I have cooked up in my brain are hard to copy. Not tooting my horn but I can at least say that with confidence.
The banner and images still have some continuity. I used an AIgen banner and edited it because I didn't want to spend 3 million years creating a banner when that same time/effort could be used for fap scenes.
Feedback:
I love the way the thread is so far. Can scarcely believe I actually got to this point. I've been a habitual lurker for years now and here we are. Don't hold back on the criticism! I can certainly take it. Might even dish it...English is my first language. Keep in mind I'm a fan first so I'm not sensitive.
Development:
I dont really have a clear cut idea of a cycle. If the game gets enough attention or buzz, I'll start shooting towards a Bi-weekly schedule with no later than a two month delay. This, for me currently, is a highly ambitious undertaking as I have a full load of priorities with work etc but honestly if enough people liked it I know I'd force myself to make the time. I'm currently mulling which platform to use. If I were to ever monetize, it would most likely be subscribestar although I may even just create my own website. The latter would only happen if I were making a decent amount of money from the game. Patreon is awesome but my dark themes and dialogue would eventually get me banned from their platform and I would be livid if money was involved so I'm not trying to set myself up for failure. This game and any future games will always make its way to the seven seas. There will always be a free public version on F95.
Communication:
I have a discord but I barely use it. It was only created to follow games such as My Sweet Neighbor back in the day. I prefer just chatting with everyone on the weekends here on the seven seas matee arg!, if thats cool.
Concept:
As previously mentioned, the plot for this game is already scripted. The dialogue is always impromtu. I'm mainly focused on the fapscenes. There will be build up in between but the main goal is getting to the fap. I already have a vision for ALL of the future sex scenes including a BIG finale. I've been secretly picturing this game for a while. The hardest thing, so far, has been trying to fit this into KK.
For example; If I had an idea where the LI gets banged behind her husbands back in a hood projects during a block party, theres nothing like that in KK. Theres nothing like that in japanese manga and has never been done before. Now, if you make the characters like the characters in this game, thats even more difficult. Here lies my dilemma.
