Fuckbuddies: A gay adult game (Patreon)
Content
Big news! ….kinda.
Early last year, I embarked on making …. a gay adult game! I found a gay programmer and together, the two of us started on a project called Fuckbuddies. I want to share the experience (trials and errors) of game development with you, and show you everything I've made so far.
Fuckbuddies is a dating sim with clicker gameplay. Every level features a date with a boy of your choice. The higher the levels get, the more intense and steamy your dates become. The goal is to get your man into your bed and go all the way! Earning yourselves the glorious title of Fuckbuddies.
Currently, there are 4 dateable guys: Julian, a geeky barista. Matteo, a suave latino. Lance, a hunky moviestar. and Jimmy Bimbo, a queeny, moody-but-loveable twink.
I worked with my programmer to get the game to a solid demo, meaning the basics of the game are working. You can unlock boys, earn experience, use items on your dates, and, most importantly… your dates themselves are clickable and can talk to you! (It’s clicker gameplay, like Tap Titans and Cookie Clicker)
When the demo was done, I hit my first official speedbump in the world of game development. My programmer told me he was too burnt out to continue the project. He didn’t want work on it part time anymore, and wasn’t ready to leave his day job to get into the adult industry. So, we had to part ways, and all development stopped.
Following this, I set out get new programmers. I shopped the project around as an adult gay title, and after a while of not finding any new gay programmers to join(surprise), I opted to do the unthinkable…. I drew in some tits.
Yes, tits. Hentai. Boobs. See you next Tuesdays.
This worked out much better. I ended up attracting a weird mix of people from the hentai world, as well as some people from the regular gaming industry.
With a bigger team, I started adding more features to the game. You can now build a full town, collect items from buildings, AND interact with cute chibi versions of your dates!
Chibis give you 'Charm' which you can use to buy new buildings for you city. You can also send chibis on specific tasks where they will collect additional Charm for you.
I worked with this new team for a few months, then hit another, much larger speed bump: the guys from the hentai crowd ended up being totally fucking nuts. The parts of the game they coded were completely broken. I had to boot them off the project and the realworld guys had to step in and redo their work. The realworlders did a great job patching everything up, but we lost steam and a lot of time ($$$), and the development slowed to another stop. That was 8+ months ago.
With all that said and done... even if the game is not complete....
...I am very happy (and proud) to now share the Fuckbuddies project with the you! The internet seems to be moving way more towards adult games, and I wanna throw my efforts in.
Here is the fully gay, smaller demo: Gay Demo
And here is the mixed, bigger demo: Mixed Demo
****** Remember: The game is incomplete, navigating it can be tricky. The game menu slides in and out of a black frame tucked into the lower left corner of the screen. You may need to exit+reset the game if you get stuck. Your login name will affect the state of your town, so watch what you type in when you launch the game. Launching it will also set off Windows Defender+antivirus software because it’s an unrecognized .exe ***********
I will look at development options again next year, whether it's through Kickstarter, a new Patreon page, or through some other venue. If you know any c# programmers or game designers who want to get in on a passion project, send 'em my way.
Now go get clicking, indie gamers! Tell me which of the 4 original boys is your favourite! (Lance is mine -- see if you can make it to his last level ;)
