THE INCREDIBLES adult game Development Log

[Mr. TurTur]

Hey ho, I'm Mr. TurTur.

As many I always wanted to make my own NSFW VN and today is the day to start.

I'm a dylexic German writer, a mediocre artist and have no idea about coding.
Lets go!

Here I will document my progress.
More for me than for anyone else, but maybe it will inspire someone else to get started.

The project I'm starting with is mainly a test.

I want to learn the workflow, basic coding and see how fast and cheap I can get with the drawings.

(Warnig, you will probably see some incest here.)

 

[Mr. TurTur]

So here are the first Character sprites i created.

I have mainly worked with existing 3D models and movie screenshots, so you may recognize a pose.


I think the face of Violet looks a bit cursed (Need to rework her eyes a bit)

 

[Mr. TurTur]

I've never been really good with background and ambient images, but I think the living room works pretty well.

I'm not sure how I'm going to set up the basement yet.

 

[Mr. TurTur]

I want the house to be completely walkable and the figures to be clickable when you meet them.
which is very basic, but still important so that it is not just a sexy slideshow

But when I put the characters in the picture, I noticed that the outlines are very important. Violet, for example, looks out of place with thin outlines in the background.

So from now on I always create 3 versions of the sprites. Thin, medium and thick outlines.
Photoshop can do this automatically, so my workload doesnt increase as much.

 

[Mr. TurTur]

Today I drew the first sex/teasing scene.
The game wont have a long teasing phase.

I wont go with animations yet, but I want to learn that at one point.






















I have attached an animation I made a while ago.

[Mr. TurTur]

Today i tried to find some copyright free music that sounds like the Ost.

Found most of it on Pixabay

[Mr. TurTur]

For this one i used a 3D pose from the internet. For the Bedroom i used a screenshot from the movies.

 

[Mr. TurTur]

Today ive drawn the base for a simple arm movement animtaion.

For this one i used a 3D pose from the internet. Fore the Bedroom i used a screenshot from the movies.

just a slight recommendation

naked body and transparency outfit

a contrast control between the scene and the character

peace

 

[Mr. TurTur]

Ty, contrast and value are things I really need to consider more. I also need to change many of the backgrounds because I made them in the wrong format.

 

[Mr. TurTur]

I actually started coding.

I managed to implement an explorable house and treasure hidden behind a locked door.

There are no real character interactions yet, but I made a fancy main menu sceen

 

[Mr. TurTur]

Finished this today. Have already implemented an ingame record player for this room.

I haven't found a way to automatically increase the volume of the music channel after the song ends.

label vinyl2:
$ vinyl = True
play sound "klick.mp3"
show pressing
pause 1.2
hide pressing with dissolve
$ renpy.music.set_volume(0.00, delay=0, channel='music')
play sound "livin in the sunlight.mp3"
hide ch_mc_base with moveoutbottom
call screen bob_nav

Nice !

House redesign


I found a movie bug in "the incredibles" yesterday.
Until now I used screenshots from the movie to faithfully recreate the house. I also found a technical drawing of the house. Turns out the hallway I'm using as a node doesn't actually exist.

Theres no stair, there is no double door and the way to the livingroom is blocked with washmachines.

So I set about redesigning the house a bit. I was able to save some space that I don't need for the story and that no one will miss.


Behold: My new Floor plan!



Now I also have a checklist of what backgrounds I need to draw.

Diningroom
Kitchen
Bathroom
Garden
Treehouse
Livingroom = this one i need to redraw. It was the first one i made for this and it doesnt fit anymore.
I got better and faster with the bgs and also the camera angel needs to be diferent.
there has to be a conection to : Kitchen, garden and Hallway.
(on the garden side theres a fancy wall of windows)

Kitchen, living and dingromm are all conected. They will be the new main cross of the house.

I found someone who made a 3D model of the house and asked him if I could use it to play more freely with camera angles and perspective.

(He documented teh modeling process on YT)

Got no answere yet. He Probably thinks its a scam, lol.

 

[Mr. TurTur]

I think im getting better with the back grounds.
Still dont like drawing them, its so dragging.

 

[Mr. TurTur]

HELLO THERE

I have this list of rooms i want to partially finish before i start implementing the story, day and night energy sytem and a basic Inventory.

Diningroom - sketch completed and functionally implemented Edit: finished
Kitchen - sketch completed and functionally implemented Edit: finished
Bathroom
Garden - sketch completed and functionally implemented Edit: finished
Treehouse Edit: finished
Livingroom - rework sketch completed and functionally implemented


Inventory:
With the history and scope of the project, there is no real need for an inventory system.
I want to learn how it works so I can do it.

Mr. TurTur Wow, this looks good, your drawing skills are not mediocre at all!

It's great to see you documenting your progress. I'm glad I found it here.

Edit: I downloaded and played your test, and peeked at your scripts
- love the artwork, especially the kitchen + front of house + hallway
- good use of some renpy features that are rarely seen in beginner's games
- Please pick a different font for dialogue, it was very hard to read (or perhaps increase the size by like double).
- I'm not sure the movie reference is that obscure. Or maybe I'm just old.
- your variable names (aabb) are going to cause trouble in the long run, i recommend using something semantic "ch1_bobs_room_record_player_dialogue_seen"
- look into using "state machines" for your quests / interactables

Good luck!

Hey, thank you very much


I've never heard of "state machines" so I'll definitely take a look at that.
I'm already starting to lose track of the scripts and rearranging them would have been one of the next steps

Yes, the font needs to be changed. I also wanted to play more with the textbox itself. Something like speech bubbles that change size and shape depending on the mood and lenght of text. Like a normal, angry, sad and horny speechbubble.

What do you say about the movement?
I am unsure if some of the doors are too small/difficult to click on and the changing camera angles could be confusing.
Mainly in: Dining room to kitchen to living room to dining room
and: living room to hallway

Also, thats the movie reference:

If you haven't seen it yet, check it out. It's one of those charming movies that sadly don't get made anymore.
