Last month, When you announced you were going to spend 10s of hours making a clothing system, I thought, "Cool. But, why?" What does playing dressup have to do with the pills? It's not like changing your clothes will change the porn scenes. Seems like a lot of work for not much effect on the overall game.
As always, one ought to focus on the core gameplay loop when making a game.
So, what even is the core gameplay? Is it doing the pill demos? Finding every H scene and not getting too bimbofied?
How does having a huge clothing system contribute to the game's fun? Is having more random sex available going to make the game stand out above it's peers? Is gym H scenes more important than the pill demos?
Here's my point; focus on the most important first. I respectfully suggest doing .17 next, and .15 last. (If you already had a patron poll for what to do next, then Understandable-HaveANiceDay.png).
My roadmap is based on my knowledge of how I will be building the core game functionality. I realize it will be hard for players to understand why clothes need to come before core sex scenes.
I understand that my roadmap won’t fully line up with the order of what people want to play. But that’s just the reality of making a game. Sometimes you have to do the less fun things first. Sometimes fun things come later.
The reason clothes came sooner rather than later, is because I want to factor clothes into NPC interactions and sex scenes.
The game is in a demo state now to demonstrate core mechanics. I am still building core mechanics however. Clothes, leveling up stats, sex mechanics, all need to be fleshed out before I make the leap to story beats etc.
I sincerely ask that people show me a little faith, and allow me to build the game according to my vision.
Putting all the fun stuff first, as people have been suggesting to me over the last week or so, is exactly why so many lone NSFW devs have projects that die. They do the easy stuff first and then get caught up in boring restructuring etc etc. I am setting my foundation out right before I write the stuff I really want to write.
Edit: the website version is live with 14c, which includes a fully integrated import / export save option rather than the embedded hack that was there before. Will update the offline version as well once I’m back from my business trip
