RPGM Succulence Series Resurrection [Development Thread]

[TalkingCat15]

Took a look at it and I like how enemies look during an actual battle. I especially like the big enemies from the prologue part of that game and how it plays a vocal track. The whole "automatically defeat lesser enemies" as you walk is nice for a game that litters the map with hordes of enemies like it was overhead 2D Dynasty Warriors, but I highly doubt I'd infest a map that much.
It did give me a couple ideas though.

I tend to agree, but I think enemies do seem a bit small on it, so I did make a mockup of what I'm planning on. Like I just said, Tina Swordswoman of Scarlet Prison did give me some inspiration. Therefore I screencapped what I loved about that battle screen and put together this.

Please be aware that this is just a mockup using the previously mentioned game and most likely won't look exactly like this, but this is the kind of thing I had in mind. I even put the battle options on here so you could see what's what.
Attack will unleash Serena's basic punching attack. This will be reflected by the large Serena graphic.
Defense has her crossing her arms in defensive pose. This will be reflected by the large Serena graphic.
Special opens the Martial Arts technique menu, where you can find all the moves you've learned from dojos. Uses SP.
H-Taunt opens its menu, which has options such as "flash boobs" and "show ass."
Item will open a menu where you can select from offensive, defensive, and healing items in battle.
The Special and H-Taunt moves will be shown via a cut-in to make them more dynamic.

Simple is great and all, but since the rest of the game will have Serena showing her ass then so should the battle screen.
As my late father would've said "Tits make everything better."

This reminds me of Oneone1 games, I like it.

A few battle questions:
1. Flee option missing?
2. Will there be damage state (ripped armor, destroyed armor)?
3. will there be different armor designs (upgraded armor, stealth armor variant, etc)?
4. Will there be h-scene upon death? (personally not a fan because it literally requires players to fail at the game but a few instances are fine to me)
5. How grindy will the battle system be? (for an average person to progress the story)

Sorry for all the questions
Hope you do your best and produce a great ENF/slow corruption game
I do hope that there aren't too many weird fetish (scat, deformation, etc) and that Serena moral degradation never reaches 0 unless game over (makes the game feel like a race for CGs than actual story when the character only wants sex)

I would lvo option to change and custoimise hairstyle and everything

 

[a670711]

just come to say that hair looks fine as it is and that changing the model into an hourglass with tiny head and giant boobs and ass would be pretty bad

I'm going to split this into two because I want to address the first part and second part separately...

A few battle questions:
1. Flee option missing?
2. Will there be damage state (ripped armor, destroyed armor)?
3. will there be different armor designs (upgraded armor, stealth armor variant, etc)?
4. Will there be h-scene upon death? (personally not a fan because it literally requires players to fail at the game but a few instances are fine to me)
5. How grindy will the battle system be? (for an average person to progress the story)

1: I missed that. Totally forgot to put an "Escape" option on. That's my bad. Shows how often I use that in games.
2: Yes. I'm still deciding on the damage and how many tiers it will use between fully clothed and naked.
3: To an extent. I haven't decided all the styles yet, but some will be nods to big RPG titles. Each will have different stats.
4: There wasn't death in the first game, you ended up teleported to the infirmary. Bigger characters like bosses will get scenes and there may be an image for getting sent to the infirmary on this one.
5: Never been a fan of having to grind too much in an eroge. There will be other ways to raise your stats, which I will explain in the next art & story post. I wanted to give multiple ways to power up for people who don't wanna grind. You can still grind or you can use the other methods I'm gonna provide.

Hope you do your best and produce a great ENF/slow corruption game
I do hope that there aren't too many weird fetish (scat, deformation, etc) and that Serena moral degradation never reaches 0 unless game over (makes the game feel like a race for CGs than actual story when the character only wants sex)

I don't like the word corruption. I prefer to think of it as Serena growing more and more accustomed to certain activities.
Let's put that aside for now.
I'm not a big "fetish" guy. The original had no graphic for Serena using the toilet, so I'm not really planning to branch too far from that. Not planning to inflate body parts or anything like that. I also don't plan to give Serena a dick, but there might be a feminine guy who's passing as a girl (for a specific questline, in case anyone wanted a teaser.)
Everything in the game will have a story and a reason. Not all of them will be super important to the main narrative, but all fit into the big picture. I hope that all makes sense.

 

[jayblu]

All sounds great. Glad to see the progression and planned thoughts behind your work.
I'll post some stuff on the succulence 2 thread so i dont clog up this one on similar works that are good draw of inspiration

 

[Gorond]

well gloryhole could be in the toilet in school.

 

[MugiwaraPrince]

well gloryhole could be in the toilet in school.

That'll be in the remake of the original. I have a similar thing planned for The Second Semester's school. It won't be in the restroom this time though.

mixed bath, stolen clothes, virtual/painted clothes, wet clothes via rain, clothes shrunk in wash, split pants squats
sit on lap on crowded bus, falling asleep on train, groped crowded train, door closing on skirt/dress, unraveling tread clothes

Spit balling ideas:

Colored in Red are things that are already in my plans.
"blind food tasting, cum in food/cum drink, spiked drink, drunk, spicy food strip
mixed bath, stolen clothes, virtual/painted clothes, wet clothes via rain, clothes shrunk in wash, split pants squats, sit on lap on crowded bus, falling asleep on train, groped crowded train, door closing on skirt/dress, unraveling thread clothes, undercover prostitute, pretending to be a sex doll/mannequin, invisibility potion runs out, locked out naked, forgot turning off webcam, strip poker, hazing, lost bets, cosplay convention, fashion contest, modeling, entering wrong club for dance contest, no cash taxi, flash for discount/tip, coin under vending machine, caught shoplifting, metal detector strip
shared senses, hypnosis, fine print contract, stuck in wall, sucking out poison,"

Some things that are close to scenarios already set to appear.
There will be clothes too small for her, but the set up has nothing to do with her messing up her wash.
There will be clothing caught on things, but nothing to do with doors.
No one needs to spike a drink when Serena already can't handle her alcohol.
There will be a heat strip, but not for any spicy food.
Although I put red on "cosplay convention" my version is a full anime convention that can be visited on multiple occasions during the game in different outfits. I've been to conventions for more than a decade running panels and winning multiple cosplay contest awards, so I plan to make those parts of the game fully immersive. You can expect nods to many different anime series and even spoofs on celebrity guests.
As for the convention part, it'll be a part of a few club questlines. Gonna be talking school clubs on the next big post.

Don't forget, the protagonist is still a succubus, and I think her abilities will become stronger with sexual experience. She should also learn those succubus spells, some special spells, such as invisibility, changing others' cognition, and having ample energy to stay up for several nights. These special constitutions or special spells

These special constitutions or special spells

And making her too powerful takes the fun out of most scenarios.
She will use some abilities, but will not have the ability to control them properly. The only guidance she's ever gotten is from someone else who wanted to control her for their own powers to grow. There will be some others who will help her gain control of some of the abilities, but just like when a kid gets a new toy they'll do something dumb with it. Just picture the kid who gets a yoyo, thinks they mastered a trick, and brains themselves in the forehead with it.
She may refrain from using certain abilities when they leave her looking foolish and all of Serena's powers come with a cost.
You'll see what I mean.

 

[jayblu]

Really hoping the spoof on celebrity guest is Honoka or 2B (best tits and ass) *fingers crossed*

Those might be represented by cosplayers at said convention, but celebrities would be actual celebrities (or at least representations thereof.)

After realising that the original project had been abandoned (im late on the uptake only just realised) of course i was disheartened cause i was really looking forward to it. and then i see you're post. what are you a gift from the heavens in my darkest times? wth. what i want to say is. im really looking forward to your plans. best of luck

 

[MugiwaraPrince]

I just got back from an anime con and got a little inspired.
I'll be doing the post explaining the school clubs and athletics tomorrow night, with a special section about school trips those groups can take. Until then I made this little animation for everyone.

​

Serena's dance club outfit with the medium hair. I sometimes load some of my MMD files onto the studio program to give myself a treat after I finish posing her around for screenshots. This one was so entertaining I decided to capture it and make her strip a bit with some editing. Don't expect animations this complex or long in the game, this was just a treat I wanted to give everyone here.

 

[jayblu]

Quite a shame it wont be this long. Its quite great; i enjoyed this and is somewhat reminded of doax3 pole dances

 

[MugiwaraPrince]

I'm mainly thinking about file size. Just using the previous animation as an example, the original size of it was nearly five times larger. It took much shrinking to trim that down so it would even post here at nearly 13mb. A quality video that could be inserted into the game as a cutscene could be gigs of space.
If I did that perhaps the final edition, after the game gets finished.

And the next explanation post for...

Succulence: The Second Semester
School Clubs & Activities​

In the original game Serena was put in charge of checking in on the clubs around the school. There was a swimming club, a gaming club, a cosplay club, an art club, a science club, and a few non-club encounters you could have with other students (like playing blackjack, bumping into that one kid on the track, the choir you only got to interact with for that christmas thing, and changing the underwear on the cheerleaders.) The new game will have more clubs and each one will get their own trip away from the school. Lets get down to it.

Class time and the startup:​

The story this time around has Serena volunteering to chair the club activities and this time its her primary job at the school. This means you could go through days without the need to teach a normal class, but what would you do during class time? This school has a study hall where you can choose to tutor a problem student. You will enter the study hall and select a subject, each kid will have a different subject they need help with. Remember the quiz you could give to that kid Todd who lived in the neighborhood in the first game? This works the same way, but with a different reward. Answering all three rounds of each subject's questions will award an alternate teaching outfit and place that problem student on the map around Serena's neighborhood for their own questlines. The alternate outfits will unlock a set of class encounters separate from the normal class. For example, if you get awarded the outfit for the science class then the class will do a chemistry based scenario.

Here are some of the alternate outfits and their respective underclothes.
​

Here is the list of clubs, a brief explanation, & their fieldtrip locations:
Gaming Club - Anything dealing with computers and gaming in the school revolves around this club. The students will lead Serena down quite a few paths with their exploits including getting her to stream with them, which you can imagine where that leads. The fieldtrip takes you to a gaming expo similar to Tokyo Game Show or old school E3.
Cosplay Club - Anime and costume related hijinks revolve around this one. The biggest disappointment from the original game with this club was they went to no cosplay events, but the fieldtrip for this club fixes that. You'll be headed to an anime convention, where Serena will wear various costumes and be involved in events cons are famous for.
Art Club - This is pretty self explanatory if you've played the original game. Serena will pose for various works of art and take the club on field trips to a couple of interesting museums.

Here's a quick mockup, the in-game cutscenes will be more polished and less dark.
​

The following clubs will be doubly important for people who want to skip grinding for experience in the other world. After Serena starts helping the kids out in the following clubs it will unlock a new function where Serena can train to augment her various stats via a set of repeatable cutscenes, multiple ones for each club.
Martial Arts Club - This school has a martial arts club. Serena can help the kids train in various martial arts skills and take them to tournaments.
Basketball Team - Help them practice and get them ready for away games.
Track Team - Work those muscles, warm up the team, and join them at their track meet.
Cheerleaders - Help them learn to win over a crowd with sexy moves and dance skills. The big game for them are pep-rallies.

There will be more, but these are the primary ones. Serena will be very busy. My biggest goal with each club is to make their questlines interesting and different enough from each other that nothing will look same-ish. The last school went nowhere and stayed on the school grounds the entire game. Even Country Girl Keiko took fieldtrips. Speaking of the fieldtrips, I'm basing all of them on actual life experience. I know the ends and outs of all those places. I lived around art museums for years, refereed basketball tournaments for an afterschool program, ran panels at anime conventions, did all manner of work for gaming festivals, and all that good stuff.
This is gonna be great.

It will be a little bit before more game explanation, but I'll show off more costumes and tease scenarios along the way.
Back to work I go.
