You can never have too many Hermione games.
More on topic, SJX has been wonderful, but unless you're bursting at the seams with ideas you didn't get to implement, it's best to do something else while keeping SJX2 in the back of your mind. In my creative process, I find that I often get ideas that I can't use in my current project, but that could go well in an earlier/future project. No doubt you've experienced this as well, capitalize on it.

Even though I really like the idea of SJX2, I would love to see what your take is on a school of magic. From the sounds of it, you are leaning towards a spin off of JK Rowlings Harry Potter world. Before you do that, you might want to look at a couple of other Magic based worlds for some different concepts.
1.) Owl House - (Disney) - a "next door" dimension where magic works and one of the Magic Schools is called Hexside.
2.) Magic of Xanth - (Piers Anthony) - A pocket dimension on Earth located on a peninsula, (Which apparently moves around), where everybody who was born there has one magic ability from minor, (cast a spot on the wall) to Sorcerer Level ( Weather Control, Zombie Master, Major Illusionist etc. ) Characterized by horrible puns, . . . It started off as a trilogy that somehow grew into 47 books in the series, (fans kept on submitting new puns and when Piers had enough of them, he wrote a new book)
3.) Myth Adventures - (Robert Aspirin) - Multiple Dimensions governed by varying levels of Magic and Science, sometimes both. Imps from Imper, Deveels from Dev, Pervects from Perv, Klahds, (Humans) from Klah. Dimensional travelers are generally labelled as Dimons. They all meet in a transdimensional space called the Bazaar, . . . why shouldn't it have a school as well?
4.) Warlock Series - (Christopher Stasheff) - During a diaspora from Earth, a group of outcasts with some quirky abilities settled on a planet called Gramarye. After being lost for many generations their planet has been rediscovered and the inhabitants have developed magical abilities. This one has interesting possibilities because it could potentially be added into the SJX universe.
I'm tossing these out there because it seems that every other Fantasy game here is a take off from Harry Potter. IMHO, why limit yourself, . . .

Thanks for the suggestions and reference.
Don't know any of them actually except Piers (& Disney...), whose novels are a bit too far out for me.
Probably more of an old school guy. L. Sprague de Camp, Fritz Leiber, Watt Evans (Ethshar) for humorous fantasy. Irith's character is actually modeled after "Irith the Flyer" from one of Watt Evans Novels and also the characterization of SJX MC is more in the vein of W.E.'s sometimes hapless heroes who get in over their heads too easily
And K.E. Wagner for more serious stuff, but my games should be a bit more on the light side.
But will check out some of the (to me) unknown authors above.

So, uh, which option for those who'd rather play as the rebellious sexbot? Asking for myself.
That variation unfortunately is not among the concepts
Only one female MC (Arcane Academy...) is under consideration...
SJX's sexbot system deserves a game on its own, I voted Sexbot Rebellion because I thought that was what it'd be, but upon second inspection that might not be exactly it.Public Poll - Poll 2025

Hi,
sometime this year after a few extensions more SJX is scheduled to be wrapped up. I am currently thinking about what new game to make in 2025.
Here are the five Working Ideas at the Moment. It would be great if you can provide feedback on which concept is most to your liking (or comment on any other idea, must have "mass market" appeal).
Sorry for the long text, but if you vote you should read it to get an idea
Looking forward to see what is most popular.
GAME 1 - Hex Academy
- Sandbox, Point and Click, 3DCG, Renpy
- You are a (male) Hero, cursed by a witch into the shape of a familiar / ghost. You spend your hours at Toadmoore's Witches' Academy, accompanying your witch through her day and trying to lift the curse that afflicts you
GAME 2 - Arcane Academy: Goblin Uprising
- Sandbox, Point and Click, 3DCG, Renpy
- You are Hermione (or similar), a _female_ apprentice Witch, who wakes up one day in Toadmoore's Academy to find out the School has been taken over by (pervy) Goblins. You navigate your school day trying to find out what happened and overthrow the Goblin Regime...
GAME 3 - Sexbot Rebellion
- Dungeon Crawler & Sex Arcade Sim, Isometric, Unity or Godot
- You (male or female MC) explore a Multi Level Facility overrun by rebellious Sexbots. You take over the (female) Bots with your Enforcer Drone (like Paradroid) and fix them, train them and put them to work in your Sex Arcade
GAME 4 - Dairy Dynasty
- Farm Sim, Special Interest, Isometric, Unity or Godot,
- You are an enterprising Alien, who manages a futuristic farm, where you employ, train, breed and manage your Humans to conquer your Planet's Dairy Industry with your revolutionary new dairy products
- Not sure I can get this past Patreon...
GAME 5 - Space Journey X Continued
* * * Go to head of page to cast your Vote in the Poll I'll setup there * * *
- Sandbox, Continuation of Space Journey X with new Locations and Content
Either way, I think passion is the most important thing, so whichever project you want to do the most regardless of what we want (which in a SJX thread is obviously more SJX). Previously you've expressed a desire to learn a better/more managable engine, so that'd be 3-4?
I just hope you stick to your art style, it's amazing.
Thoughts about new game
1, 2 and 5 are suitable for monthly update development and current selling model
3 and 4 are arcade and managment, probably would require a new selling model (must be a finished product or smth like "Ero Dungeons" style development: half-finished, polishing stage) + new skills to make
Thoughts about SJX and Princess
both games have a lot of unused potential, minigames could be refined to perfection, stories, charachters could be expanded
And some more thoughts...
New games can be made in real life style (except 2) if you are tired of sci-fi and goblins.
4 Dairy dynasty = Milkman: youngster riding scooter in the city, giving handjobs, milking mommies, impregnating women with obtained sperm, racing to preserve milk/sperm/food from the sun, making and selling fancy dairy products to make a living.
3 Sexbot Rebellion. Paradroid is an early top-down shooter like Hotline Miami with hacking minigame. Needs the pace of Hotline Miami to be fun. Maybe can be reimagined as a game about undressing. Where hacking minigame represents a zipper of a dress or a bra. The numbers on paradroids may be Boobs, Booty and Beauty / Biceps, Booty, Bruty (brutality)/Bulge
1 Hex Academy. Maybe needs a better plot. You are eaten by a witch. Now you are a fart, destroying her glamorous life. Can be fused with Paradroid.
2 Arcane academy: goblin uprising = Fucked up day. You are Hermione. Know-it-all girl. The storie starts at night when Hermione is reading book of Unforgivable Curses. The curse is Slutterio, a very difficult spell to cast, which, if oftenly used, turns victim in fuckwhore. That night she has a weird dream about ganbang. Next day in the morning she attends class with some Professore, class ends, day passes and at evening dinner goblins attack. Being the best, she understands that goblins poses some artifacts that make them to strong to overcome. Her Time Turner with her, she can make only one time jump to weaken goblins, she can't be seen, warn herself and lots of other conditions. So she jumps in the past and manipulates herself (she knows own weaknesses, curse doesn't work other way) with the curse to hide/destroy artifacts, redirect people, each itteration becoming sluttier. In the end she will have ganbang with goblins before attack and become academy slut (+another ganbang). This is best choise for monthly update development. Game has intro and ending at the start and episodes filled later on. Also can be remade with male protagonist. Wands can be dicks/clitorises with those HP-minigames: draw a spiral.
P.S. does SJX name related to Space Quest X (from SQ4)?

Its true that the two arcade style games are not so well suited for incremental development. There might be mechanics to unlock new foes, levels or training skills or find new items. But storywise it will be difficult to get a feeling of progression.
The other games are more suited to that. Surprisingly to me it seems the Hogwarts Setting is not as wildly popular as I thought. I ahve to admit though, that a Space setting gives the most freedom as to story and new content, so there's that...
In any case, after the Krell Expansion around September I will take a break for a few months and look into the game options. My Patreon and Substar will probably remain up but be free in that period so I can post a bit of progress for patrons who are interested. Joining might be frozen in that period though.
This is a thread about Space Journey X. It's only natural that Space Journey XI would be winning. You've got to remember that Henry Ford quote: "If I had asked people what they wanted, they would have said more fuckable horses."
Actually the X wasn't 10 (like in SQ), I just noted that there are already a zillion space journey games out there and Space Journey XXX was too corny
I think the problem is that we know what space jounrey is and the description of both other games doesn´t paint a good picture of what story is unfolding there.
For story 1: Is the goal to become human again? How is the protagonist interacting with the environment/women?
For story 2: What is the witch going to do? Support the goblins and train other girls to be submissive to them? Train herself to be submissive? Overthrow the Goblins?
Where does the kink element that I love about your games (seriously looking forward to the next expansion with pet training) fit into these storys.
For me, if the academy storylines would have been more closely to the traditional trainer games like Princess or Space Journey (with a physical male MC) I would have voted for it instantly.
Pretty sure it would be, but if you put it (or anything else for that matter) up against SJX in the SJX thread it will lose badly.
Maybe another vote without SJX?
Hogwarts would be perfect for your tone and style IMO. Though in a school setting with different classes maybe different MCs with different storylines would be nice.

Alright, long shot suggestion time:That variation unfortunately is not among the concepts
Only one female MC (Arcane Academy...) is under consideration...
Imagine you're a Head-In-A-Jar survivor that was cryogenically frozen from a previous era. You had to take the economy-class option so only the head was preserved. You're revived as planned and greeted with the option of choosing a whole new you, skillfully designed and crafted by NotAnEvilCorporation. Given that you had the economy model, you get to choose between the deluxe models TurboStud 100 or BombShell 5000 with the caveat that your initial down payment is not quite enough to cover the cost of full ownership. You could rent it though! Alternatively you can have one of the StickPerson NPC bodies for free. But who chooses that option, right?
What follows is a (mostly) consensual journey into the whacky future where your body can be repo'd if you don't keep up with the interest payments.
It'll have everything you could hope for: Economic pressure to advance, a wide range of possible storylines, fish-out-of-water POV, gender bending optional, slap a dick on any limb you think might help! Become the LEGO(wo)man and swap out other body parts! Optimize pleasure subroutines! Subjugate i-insects to serve the perfect Machine that I am. Spin the story around and hire the best lawyer you can find and sue NotAnEvilCorporation for full custody over your own body! The possibilities are endless!
Pretty sure there's potential for such a story. Given your sense of humour, too.

Personally I see several issues with Hogwarth theme in general.
Considering the (personally unexplainable) high popularity of the Novels and Movies there is also quiet alot of low- to mid quality porn projects around already... most get abondened in the long run, but atleast 2 Projects of higher quality are known on this site focuseing on the theme.
The competition about any game in that universe is quiet though I'd say and people are vary of more games that might fail in the turbulent water known as Hogwarth... especially given the overview given.

That's a fair point. Never got the appeal of the source material either. I always took Hogwarts as "english school for wizards" which have been around long before anyone wrote about Hogwarts.
Maybe a different spin on the theme? At its core it would be important to have a strict school (with uniforms etc.) and some kind of fantastic element to tell all the stories you want, but that would also work as e. g. Lovecraft's School of Eternal Terror or Space Journey: Academy.

Heh... after SJX MC returns to earth he starts a spacefarer school for girls with advanced education to get them up to par to travel to the stars and exploreing to "places no men was ever known to have been before".
Includeing varying uniform policies and on board service lessons
Out of curiosity: Which are the two better projects exploring the Hogwarts theme?
