Yeah, I agree, I wanted to make the characters very strong (it even fits within the "world"), but when I was testing the game, I thought the fights are well too boring and need to be made at least a little bit more challenging... so I ended up making them challenging). I'll think about it, but I'll probably simplify the combat in the next updates.
Never have I played a porn game and thought, "I wish the combat was harder". In fact, I would rather there be no combat or its instant win/lose combat. I'm not playing a porn game for the combat gameplay. Its all about the story.

Have not played the game, so no idea of the premise other than what's writen, but.. When does Bob realize what's going on and ROFL-STOMP the guys in the OP pic into shit-stains? Would fit based on how he's the strongest in the world and can't imagine he'd sit by with his wife and daughter being porked by random dudes.

Or is it unavoidable and the description post needs to just say that? ;) Otherwise don't write it like it's avoidable you know...

When the wife and daughter are on the bang couch you should just assume its unavoadable. From what ive played it seems to be.

Really didn't see that... I guess my mind is still relatively innocent. But the idea is interesting, maybe in the future, Dash can hit the jackpot... just how to portray a boy in a porn game...
Haven't played it yet, so Idk if you will already go for that or in what time of the movies's universe this game happens. But maybe having Syndrome stealing them would be nice too? (if the game will have different routes for the player to choose, maybe making Syndrome one of those routes)

Actually, I've been thinking about what to use for a long time. I like renpy, (and to be honest, I think it's a bit easier to use, especially if you know python), but I don't like the gameplay on regular renpy, where all dialogs are skipped with the ctrl button, and there's nothing but dialogs. If I do renpy, I'll also think about what to diversify the gameplay with. As for RPG, I think it's good for NTR games, because you have freedom of movement and you can watch what's going on through the wall for example. I wanted to implement more freedom of movement, but so far it's been too much scripting.... As for the combat, I wrote above about it, I will make it simpler ( or think about what to do with it).
nothing is inherently wrong with RPGM, but its one of those things if you dont do it right, its just a disaster. RPGM has more room for unique systems and implications, but goodman does it get boring when nearly every dev on RPGM does the same thing. I recommend removing combat systems entirely. they are just a waste of time unless you put a lot of effort into them (which a lot of that effort isnt worth it since the focus should be the porn). Ren'py is the safe option, and a lot better for devs for low budget/time. Based on track records, new devs should just stay away from RPGM. The only RPGM games that even tend to be good are ones with multiple people working on them. Also, RPGM introduces a lot of bugs compared to Ren'py

Most rpgm games i like are solo devs. I agree it does get a bad rep, butt I think thats more from how easy it is to get started, so you get a lot of new devs drop the 0.1 version and abandon it when its get a bit hard. The barrier to start on it is just super low. A simple 10min tutorial gets you the basic 0.1 release we seen popping up all the time.

When it comes to renpy I have to agree with the otehr guy, I hate that click dialog and ctr to skip game loop. Not that it cant be done great, or super different. But much like how rpgm all look super simular all renpy tend to look and play super simular.

I like the gameloop you get from moving around the sprite map that rpgm provides. But definitely need to look at the top games using it to see how to do it right. The easy trap to fall into is the rpgm combat systems. But you're not making an rpg adventure game, you're making a porn game. Now, it makes sense to have some combat in a super hero game, but bob is already super strong so combat should not be hard or worse, slow and boring.

Best ways ive seen it done are to not put too much into combat and just give the player stuff to do wandering around. Simple puzzles can work, but dont make them tedious. The main point of giving the player stuff to do is to give the illusion that time has past and give the guys time to corrupt Helen while bob is away. games like Fujinos' SAO, or Hentaria chronicles, and Scars of Summer use freeroam events to do this. Just small events with side characters or the main character that bob can stuble upon while walking about and doing the quests. Its makes the map seem alive and not stale.

Well, sorry for not making an animation of the omelet in the bowl
Tbh the bowl itself is not the funniest part, it's how exaggerated her hip swaying is in order to shake her tits, and how inconsistent it it with her hand movements. I think that solely animating the boobs themselves through their FK (or was it IK? Whichever the white rotatory ones are) would be better as opposed to relying on the boob jiggle from the body movements (which is what I am assuming that you are doing)

but I think potions are quite possible in this world (why can't someone have alchemical - medical superpowers).
You can obviously justify the existence of potions, you can justify anything from a Watsonian perspective, but that does not mean that they won't feel like an odd addition for the player. As for alchemical superpowers, that's not really an established thing AFAIK

As for the 3d rat models and backgrounds, not sure what for. Do you think the 2d looks ugly?
The RTP assets look good... but they show a lack of care. What I, and most other players, think of when we see RTP assets is that the person creating the game either did not have the resources/art skills to make unique assets, or that they did not care to. If the developer does have a ready access to similar assets (Rat and environment models in Studio Neo) then laziness and a lack of care is the conclusion that most people will come to.

I am not accusing you of being lazy, of course, but this is the impression that a lot of people will end up with, which can negatively impact your project.

Asking you to create an entire tileset may be ridiculous, but something like making a few enemy or battleback renders goes a long way to show that you are invested into the actual game-making part, as opposed to not really caring and using is as a vehicle for porn renders. It also helps you stand out among RPGM devs

On that note, I might also recommend you to use the RPGM Extended Generator tool to make more accurate sprites. It does not require that much effort, while helping you to stand out as well.

About the difficulty of the fights I wrote above, I agree that I overdid it, (in discord someone wrote that it is easy... what a great man).
The fights were not difficult in the slightest, but the Ratdude bossfight was tedious. The winning strategy was to just take out the rats while using a potion whenever your HP dropped to a kill treshold and to repeat this on a loop until the boss died. It would only be difficult if you have never played a turn based RPG

For the combat, I would recommend you to at least make a spell or two, as the only time I had to do something else than hold down enter during this demo was during the Ratking bossfight

Syndrome was originally planned to be the main antagonist, but I thought that if it was him, Bob would get suspicious because of his past. So I decided to add a new character.

Evil villain uses a aging ray to attack the heroes and Dash gets shot by it to save someone else, he grow up a couple of years old and the sudden puberty mess up his head or something and he becomes obsessed with sex like every teenager (or young adult) but extra hard since it was so sudden or whatever.

Do you have plans for scenes when I get defeated? :p
I think it would look weird if Helen, along with Bob and Sam, somehow lost the battle. Also, I don't like the mechanics of the player not knowing if battles should be lost or not. I wasn't originally planning on it, but I'll think about it.

In the game we play as Bob, in future updates, we can look at the same scenes from Sam's or Helen's pov.
Thank you for clarifying.
who is sam? I am not seeing any sam in the cast list


is he an OC?
can we see a picture of him?

Also, I notice in the banner there are two men who are not Bob. One going after helen and one after violet parr.
Are you choosing which of those two men you play as? or are they always going to be those two men cucking bob and whichever one you are playing is going to have to share?

I think Sam is the one going after Helen and Violet and the gother guy havent shown up yet.

Personally, I dont want to control Helen or Sam. Id rather just stay with bobs perspective.

I think Syndrom would have been better overall. Just set it as an alternate from the movie. Say for instance the movie never happened, and Syndrom waited much longer to start out his plan, and bob is just now working for him. ezpz.
