Yooo whats wrong with her cheeks though? You ever played a game with character creation and maximized random sliders just to see how far you can take it? That's that girl.

Any sort of writing on any sensitive controversial issue will ultimately bring critics. I welcome them.

1) Lura is not a neurotypical girl. She thinks differently than most people do. Have you seen Lura address any other individual in the story by any given name? Not a single one of the other 3 current characters, not even the Imaginary friend. People are named based on their utility to her. So, for instance, if she met a lifeguard they would be named lifeguard to her. If she went to eat and met a waiter it would be waiter. That's how she names people. If she met a puppy girl she would call her pup. If she goes to the doctor it would be doctor, if she goes to school it would be teacher or classmate. She is a person without many friends. Lura assigns people as a "role" not a "name". That's just how her brain works. In future interactions, other characters will address one another by name. Lura won't do that though.

2) Have you considered the possibility that the way the maid acts in her initial interaction with Lura is an inside joke between friends? Let me lob this possible history of the two at you like a softball. Imagine for a minute that the maid (Whose name readers will learn later is Melinda) is a good person. However, she does have some financial difficulties. Can't find a job very down on her luck. She then applies for the job of Maid with Lura's family. Her parents... Both left-wing progressives leap at the chance to hire an unrepresented minority as their laborer in the home to boost their diversity for virtue-signaling points to show off to their friends. She does not like them because they treat her with kid gloves and are super sensitive and overbearing and it kinda creeps her out how "nice" they are to her. Have you EVER met someone that likes their boss? Most people don't I'm afraid... Lura is a rebellious girl. The 1960s had a generation of left-wing children that rebelled against their right-wing parents. Lura is a right-wing girl rebelling against her left-wing parents. Lura initially had some prejudices against Melinda the Maid. She acted in a racist fashion against Melinda the Maid treating her like some sort of hood rat. Melinda played along with this a little bit, but due to the rule of "My enemies enemy is my friend", and Melinda really hating how the girl's parents pander to her... A friendship was eventually formed. Maybe Lura had a little bit of personal growth their as well and she became less prejudice on terms of "race", although she retains her prejudice on terms of "gender". And perhaps the maid Melinda likes to bust her friends balls about it.

3) As for your dislike of transphobia. That is perfectly understandable, and reasonable, and respectable. However, ignoring an issue does not make it disappear, and it does fester. Personally, I am against slavery. Does that mean I would avoid a movie like Django Unchained, Roots, Gone with the wind? Not really a big fan of a bunch of people dying either, but Titanic is a good movie... Not an advocate for kidnapping, but Taken was a good movie... Food for thought, can't make everyone happy.

Wow, I'm still trying to figure out if those deep thoughts of a background for a XXX game are amazing or horrifying. For sure they are impressive in a way. You could add those thoughts in the game maybe, as some background so people understand the environment they are playing in.

But reading that made me curious enough to try the game. Also the idea of playing as imaginary friend (invisible to others), more an observer / voyeur approach seems interesting. At least not another roommate / landlady setting. You won't be able to attract anybody anyways. Kinks and anti-kinks are too diverse to make it right for everybody. So I praise you for trying something new / uncommon instead. Go on, whether it suits my kinks or not, or I like it or not.

Edit: After going through, yes: The background helps a lot to understand whats going on. It could help to add it somewhere until you can explain in game (if you ever want to). And I guess that game gonna have some humor...

you go make a game with dude with cc in and see how that goes for you, its not as easy with SL to make faces look good/cute

I've actually played second life before, and its nowhere near as hard as you make it out to be.

 

[89898hh]

Is this game going to be just futa content? Like will there be any m/f content ?

Like the renders just not into futa stuff

That's nice. How about you post a snapshot of your avatar. Show us how it's done champ.

I would if I could remember the account, the only reason I ever played the cringe game was for a lesson in my human computer interaction class like 2 years ago.

I got an idea. I want to see if people think this is a good way of doing things or a bad way of doing things.

A lot of games out there are made in a way such as follows:

You play through a game. You come to a choice. You now have Path A and Path B.
Path A continues & So does Path B.
Path A branches yet again and now we have a 3rd path which we will call C.
Path B branches out too and we will call that branch D.

Paths = Width of the Game. More paths = more width.

With greater width, you will inevitably have a shorter length.

If I work on A B C and D over X time Path A gets less far than just Path A by itself. If I gave equal time to each Path it would get about 25% as far assuming there are only 4 paths.

Lets say a game is targeted for 10 chapters long. Does it not make more sense to make to make it like this:

A1 A2 A3 A4 A5 A6 A7 A8 A9 A10, B1 B2 B3 B4 B5 B6 B7 B8 B9 B10, C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10, D1 D2 D3 D4 D5 D6 D7 D8 D9 D10. All Paths completed one at a time one after the other... The game completely completed at 4 points. With different branching chains.

A lot of creators almost all I see make it like this...

A1 B1 C1 D1... A2 B2 C2 D2... A3 B3 C3 D3... ect ect ect... and so on building the branches and not the trunk...

So imagine a sort of static novel that you go back and create branches off at certain points to continue forward on eventually getting more choices.

Is that a better sort of production method you guys think?

Like you, I also really like GGGB.

Let's say that a party happens tomorrow.
There are a number of ways that the MC can interact with event X.
- She can go, or not go.
- She can go with Eva or with Jack
- She can wear a short dress or a long one

All these things influence what is going to happen at the party.

What I like in GGGB, is that the events happen at a certain point. But how they play out is the result of previous choices.
Which is kind of a simplified way of how life works.

Fixed branches, on the other hand, is NOT how life works. Stuff that happened in the past always has an effect on the future.

As for completing branch 1 before starting on branch 2 is not very smart in my opinion because it leaves fans of branch 2 waiting for too long, while fans of branch 1 will be gone after it finishes.

 

[215303j]

My opinion of the game / demo so far:

First of all, really interesting and unique premise! Good job!

In my opinion, the MC does come off as a bit too abrasive, even for my tastes, even though I basically agree with her or at least understand her points. Maybe you should tone it done a bit. As it is, it's a bit difficult to feel sympathy for the MC, which is quite important IMHO.

The fourth wall breaking in V0.3 was absolutely fucking hilarious! (and quite deep when you think about it)

Minor complaint, seeing that it's still in early development, is that I'd like to have more choices / opportunities to influence the MC.

Renders are a bit meh, but I understand why you do it like this. For me it does the job, so no real complaints.

Really looking forward where this game is taking us!

I won't rate it yet because I think it's too soon, if I did, I'd probably give 4 stars, with 5 needing better visuals (which is likely not going to happen) or a truly excellent story (for which I have good hopes).

Yes, and no. The choices we make in life are sometimes significant and branch our life off onto another path. Sometimes they are not. Sometimes it's hard to tell which are which.

For argument's sake let's say you are a flabby single guy right now. It's September 6th, 2019. There is a possibility out there, that one Sunday afternoon in May of 2011 that you thought about going for a job in the morning, but you stayed home and jerked off instead. Inconsequential really... or is it? Maybe there is an alternate universe out there in which you went for that jog instead. And on that jog there was a woman whose car had broken down. You helped her put a spare tire on, and got her number. She admired that you were trying to take better care of yourself and jogging. You started going jogging with her... You both got in much better shape, and eventually, you started to fuck her brains out. You managed to get that dick wet like 900 times... You knocked her up and had a beautiful daughter. Got married too... Unfortunately, your wife was diagnosed with cancer and died last year leaving you a single father with a 6-year-old daughter. So you took her to the park to play on the swings last month where you met a cute single mom, and that is your new girlfriend in this alternate universe, and that whole you does not exist... All because your fat ass couldn't go jogging in May of 2011... You fucked it up man... big time. I'm just playing, but it's possible!

or inversely you make a whole bunch of other choices... None of which have any significant or even noticable branching on your universe. A lot of times the decisions we make don't change anything. A lot of times we can't tell the difference. Like 10 years ago I applied for a job as a butcher at the supermarket. They didn't hire me. I never became a butcher. My choice to apply for a butcher 10 years ago has only changed my life in the slightest bit that I have that to give an example of a meaningless choice 10 years later.

If you got the balls to either to look up that old avatars password (check the email), and take a snapshot, or to create a brand new one then share a snapshot I'll put you in the game as a short cameo. You ready to become a star or do you have lady balls?

You must be registered to see the links

See thats the thing, I'm pretty sure I used a fake email. If I got anytime this weekend, which I should, I'll make a new character.

I'm waiting for game where mom is Tiger, and father is aeroplane

Yeah, that's right.

But as far as porn games go, I think GGGB handles choices and different paths in the best way.
Like you say, some choices are inconsequential (even if they seemed big at the time) others may have seemed small but could have a big impact.
Of course it's impossible to model real life in a game because IRL the choices aren't binary. In your example it's not only about going jogging or not, it's also about the route you take, how fast you go, what you decided to wear etc. It's impossible to model, even for a AAA game and even for a MMPORPG. But I like the way GGGB models a very simplified version of it.
