This is a development thread - No public alpha/demo/release is available yet.
I plan to have a playable version, albeit very short around March - April. February if I am being way too optimistic.
Development began a few months ago - of course a lot of work is necessary.

-Title image will come here, eventually- For now, enjoy an image of the protagonist.

Hey everyone, I am currently working on a game I call Sketchbound.

In short

Sketchbound will be an openworld 2D game where you meet a large variety of characters, sketch wildlife and find / or beat aggressive tribes/creatures/anomalies using magic that you unlock by building relationships and progressing through the story. Build relationships with unique characters and take them with you within your party to gain certain buffs.

While the game looks very nice and innocent on the outside, the story may contain some dark or grim elements.

The game uses AI/Character Lora Training and a ton of photoshop editing training to create its art - but once this game develops and *if* this game gets support, I will hire artists to replace the art (preferably with a similar artstyle)

Due to the use of AI, the art will not always be 100% consistent, but I'll do my best to make it as consistent as possible.

Fethishes

This game will heavily focus on:
- Futanari (dickgirl) x Female
- Female x Female
- (Consensual) Groping
- Furries / Monstergirls

In lesser amount, the game will also have (planned):
- Femboy x Female
- Male x female
- Femboy x Futa
- Cheating (If it's cheating on the player, it's avoidable)
- Tentacles
- Temporary transformations, for example: Becoming a futa, more mature (MILF body type so to speak), a ghostly body, hybrid between furry and human and so on.

Fetishes this game absolutely won't have are: scat, urination, gore, vore and snuff and others I cannot currently think of.

The story

You start off playing in the past. Here you play as Camille, the protagonist's mother.
The mother, pregnant of the child lives in a town where babies are unlikely to be conceived or to be born. She lives together with her husband Millard and Alora, the maid. Every week, the mother receives a blessing within the church and eventually the birth is succesful.

Unfortunately, 2 years later the town gets attacked and wiped out by the currently biggest human faction - The Graven Order.
The reasons why the Graven Order attacked the village are unknown, however during the night of the attack one of the nuns from the church rescues the child and brings her to a village far away.

This is where the protagonist's story starts.

The gameplay

As I said previously, you start playing as the mother. Here you walk around in the town and try to gather as much lore information as possible, along with meeting certain characters that may or may not appear later in the story. In this town, you may find some secrets abouts the characters themselves, experience NSFW scenes with the mother and possibly find puzzles. The more you unlock here, the more you'll find later in the protagonist's playthrough. These will not necessarily be hidden; hints will be given through an achievement / progress tracker.

As the protagonist your main goal is figuring out what happened to your home town, while also sketching any creature and their possible poses along the way. Some poses may be easy to get, while others may require interacting with certain objects, items and so on. Sketching creatures builds relationship points, allowing you to advance in NSFW scenes or, depending on the character build a romantic relationship and take them with you in your party for buffs. Depending on whom you take with you in your party or leave at home, you can get different buffs for your character. When you reach a certain level with every romanceable character, you can unlock a power or buff your existing powers, which allows you to take down aggressive enemies or bosses.

Also beware! You may find some horny creatures while trying to sketch them ;)

The world map

Worldmap Guideline.png

As far as the world goes, I am following this as guideline while mapping.Some areas may different from this guideline.
Notable biomes (You are free to guess which creatures can be found where):

- Plains
- Forest
- Mountain
- Magical forest
-Snow
- Savannah
- Desert
- Volcano
- Swamp

And more!

The world is build using Rafaelmatos's pixel assets which I use in TILED. (Mapping program)
Other pixelart is made using AI and heavily edited to sort of compliment Matos's work. I do not use his work to train AI.

About me

Ljoso (Lead dev) - I've always had a passion for adult games and world building. More than half a decade back I tried to work on one, but suddenly I fell ill with sarcoidosis, which forced me to be bed-bound for a far too long time (this part is fortunately over), causing me to abandon my work and focus on rebuilding my life. Currently I am working a job in customer service to try and keep a stable life and put the rest of my time into building this game, playing games and my girlfriend.

If you want to ask me anything, join my discord (I still need to set it up for the most part) for free:



I'll also set up a patreon (for now it's still being reviewed) and a subscribestar, which will have some paid benefits once development has further progressed. For now only a free option is available.




Apparently the minimum for subscribestar is 1$ at the moment. So that one isn't exactly free. Don't expect paid benefits yet, though.
