VN Others Sleepover Simulator [Development Thread]

[red_faced]

"Sleepover Simulator"

is an in-progress erotic game. It follows four girls (one controlled by the player) in their late teens who frequently have sleepovers together, as their once-innocent slumber parties start becoming more and more sexual, driven primarily by the player character coming to terms with her own lesbianism. It is going to be an all-lesbian game.

The gameplay is a mix of a visual novel and a deck-building card game. The basic gameplay loop will take place over a series of sleepovers, where the heroine will play cards against other women at the sleepover, then do some kind of other sleepover activity, then in her sleep she is able to unlock new parts of the game as long as she's met the conditions. For example, unlocking new activities to do in the 2nd part of the sleepover, like spin the bottle or twister. Or unlocking new parts of the card game that, all you to acquire cards that force your opponents to fulfill a "truth or dare" or to remove some of their clothing.

The Characters
The main cast of the game consists of the player character and her three long-time friends: Stephanie (a nerdy sarcastic Asian woman with braces), Rebecca (a ginger tomboy), and MaryAnne (a sheltered curvy blonde woman). As well as a mysterious woman who appears to the player character in her dreams. Eventually other women will be introduced as well.

Technical Info
I'm building this game in the Godot gaming environment, using primarily graphics generated with Stable Diffusion. The cardgame part of the game is in 3D and the rest is 2D.

Roadmap to Initial Release
The initial release is going to require the following work:

• Generate character sheets and LoRas for the main characters (DONE)
• Program the card game (DONE)
• Title Page (DONE)
• Program the main loop and time progression of the game (Mostly Done)
• Write the introductory day (DONE)

I'm concerned when you say it's a VN

Not a big fan of VNs as I prefer gameplay over watching a story

Yeah, same. Making an actual game is waaaay harder though, so I get it.

Congratulations red_faced ! Good to see that you've decided to do something about the "fetishes I want to see more of".

Art looking so good, it's very obvious you've put a lot of time into it, and therefore escaped the low-effort-AI look.

And don't worry about rando's dropping opinions about what they want to see in *your* game. Let them go make their own thing, stay the course on your own vision.

Hi red_faced
Great to see you open a thread for your new game, so we can exchange about it here.

As a lesbian protagonist games lover, I'm very happy to see that this is a lesbian game again.
Just prepare to brace yourself against all the whining of male protagonist games lovers, because there are so few games here to fulfill their love of dicks

I'm just curious, what tags you plan to include in your game?
Mainly, will there a harem route?

I would have loved too see Chastity again, as I will miss that redhead cutie.
But I understand you want to write another story.
And that you have switched to other tools than HS, because they are more convenient for you.
Do you also change the game engine? It's not Ren'py?

If I understand well, the girls we see in the previews are the MC friends and a mysterious woman.
Have you some previews of the MC to share with us?

Spoiler: But I must be honest, I'm a bit disappointed...

I said nothing beyond preferring games to VNs

red_faced already does something about the "fetishes I want to see more of" :
Help! I accidentally married a lesbian and now I need to consumate our relationship while my very religious mother watches.
It's just that it stayed in the developments forum and wasn't moved in the games one.

What can I say? I can't just keep making the titles longer If I make a sequel to HIMALANINTCTRIFOMVRM, I'll make the title even longer. I have some ideas for continuing the story, but those are on the backburner for right now.

As far as planned tags, the initial version is going to be pretty light in sexual content. I want this to be a bit of a slow burn so it's going to be maybe kissing and nothing more. For future releases, though, I plan on it being harem route by default. You'll be able to seduce all your friends, and eventually other women in their household as well. In addition, expect some masturbation, exhibitionism, and group sex scenes.

I don't have a design for MC. Originally, I was going to have players choose one of the three main girls to play as, but then decided to instead just have all three of the girls be NPCs and have the MC be a faceless protagonist. You can select her skin color though (and maybe pubic hair) for when her body appears in sex scenes.

I was just kidding.
But I'm glad to see you have some idea about a sequel of HIAMALANINTCORWMVRMW.
And no pressure, I will understand if you don't ever make this project a reality.
Even if there is not enough redhead on this world, despite Avaron1974 counting as two (yes Ava, this a creative way to poke you ).

No problem for a slow burn for me, on the contrary.
I like that there are a story in a game, not just meaningless sex scenes.
That relations between the different characters have the time to develop.
That any sexual interaction has a good reason according to the story and characters to happen, not just sex for the sack of sex.
Some kissing for a start is good. Other romantic time like hugging, cuddling... would be great too. We need a little tenderness in this brutal world

Harem lesbian?
Yay!
OK, I'm definitively sold!
Will it be strict/exclusive harem? I mean the MC will have sexual relations with many girls, but each girls will only have sex with the MCé
Or could the girls have some fun between them? So more of a polyamory relationship.

You can select her skin color though (and maybe pubic hair) for when her body appears in sex scenes.

A faceless protagonist won't seem a bit odd in kissing scene?

As a member of the minority who like pubic hair, I hope that this option will be available.
Even better if it could also extend to the LI (but I understand if you don't want to go that path because it will be too much work for a niche audience).

Anyway, I will follow your new project with great interest

On another subject, I think you should ask for a developer badge.
For what I know, it's give you access from some dev restricted forum here where you can exchange with other dev.
And perhaps you will get other benefits.
