Confined with Goddesses 2. (Patreon)

I'd like to introduce you to a secret project that could be unveiled in several months' time.

It probably won't be named "CwG", as there will be no more containment.

___

Before presenting it, a few important points:

• This is not a long-term project like CwG or DH. It will be posted as a one-shot to the public (outside patreon).

• It will be a paid game, but patrons will get it for free, because patrons support my work, not just my current Major game, so they'll have access to that too. Even if it's another project than DH, it's part of the work you support and have the rewards for.

• I think I'll do several updates for Patreon, maybe 5-6 in total, and improve based on feedback. You'll be a real beta tester, because there won't be a public version until it's done. The content for these updates won't be similar to DH or CwG, it will be different. The goal will not be to give "X amount of content".

• This project doesn't have priority over DH, so it will probably be irregular, I could very well leave it untouched for long periods, depending on the situation. In general, I think/work on this project when I'm tired of working on DH at the end of the day.

• It's going to be very simple. No Map, no event system, it'll use the basic ren'py functions of seeing scenes and making choices.

______

Objectives and interests of the project:

• Initiate my coming to Steam with a finished project, to start with something simple on steam, not a complex thing with premium and free versions, updates every month etc.... So I can get used to their process (which has nothing to do with Ichio).

• I'll be able to experiment with Steam's "prerequisites", test music, etc... Then I can adapt DH to put it on Steam afterwards.

• Trying to work out the choices/consequences. So far, I've never made a "good" one.

• I'm afraid of making hard choices in my major games, because as the game is released gradually over years, I figure it could be irritating to realize several months of content later that you've made "the wrong choice". There, I will be ok with that, as it's a "mini-game".

• Generally speaking, I could try things that I don't dare do in major games. If I like it, I could reuse ideas and put them into Dh or a future major game. I don't know maybe you'll like the choice tree I'll do so I would keep that concept?

• The girls' new outfits and backgrounds could also be used for Divine Heel.

• Have new content with the Confined with Goddesses characters you love so much (and so do I).

• Try out a new work setup, which will allow me to officially distribute games in several languages. The aim is to establish a "way of doing things" that doesn't consume too much of my energy. I've already theorized about it, but I'll have to try it out to see how it works in practice.

As I said, the goal is not do to something complex or hard, I want to do something very simple and quick, but still enjoyable.

What the game will be about?

It's going to be a "short" sequel to Confined with Goddesses. In this game, you'll have to make choices to end up with just one woman, as 4 was impossible to manage in the long term, they were too demanding.

You'll spend a "date" with each of the 4 girls, 1 by 1, and make lots of choices. Choices of words, choices of attitude, choices of actions, and it'll please or displease the girl. You'll end up with the girl with whom you've had the most chemistry.

The content will therefore be:

• An introduction with a mysterious situation, something has happened to the MC (MC of CwG), but we don't yet know how it happened. The girls then make a decision, one that is hidden from you at the start.

• Four dates, including normal stuff such as a restaurant, but also intimate moments, sex, where you'll have different reactions depending on your choices (e.g. whether or not to give a spanking, to obey or to be Rebel, choose a position, etc.).

• A conclusion based on the results of the 4 dates.

• The game is supposed to have replayability, to see the different reactions of the girls according to the choices.

On this game, I'm going to take away my "fears", so I'm not going to hesitate to make choices they won't like.

On the other hand, there are several choices whose impact you won't see until later, so at the time you won't know whether you've made a "good" choice for her or not.

The idea is not to please all 4 girls, but to be "you", and you'll get the one that's right for you. In any case, you'll only get one in the end.

It's not "necessary" to have played CWG, but if you have, you'll know in advance what a particular character likes, so you'll find it easier to make the right choices if you want to target someone.

I'm also hesitant to make several endings per girl depending on your choices, for example make a goodboy ending and a naughty boy ending for Berry:

Goodboy = She focuses on rewarding you

Naughty boy = She focuses on punishing/disciplining you.

There could be a version of Valerie where she finally enjoys dominating you a bit, etc... But the problem is that I'm still falling into the trap of wanting to add ideas all the time, and in the end it'll turn into a big project... So I have to contain myself and make choices.

Also, for the sake of diversity, I think I'll change the girl's VA, I wish to make 1 voice actress for 1 girl, to make them more unique.

____

Here's some work on Berry:

I did her hair in a slightly different style.

if you look closely, you can see many details!

I worked on the skin texture and drew more details, irregularities, marks, light scars, veins.

Her breasts haven't grown, they just look bigger when I make them hang a little more.

I've been working on a new way of texturing the breasts, which allows me to add more detail. Before, when the breasts were very large, the texture was "stretched" and the details magnified and blurred. Now it's a texture with a different map where I can work on the detail.

Here's a version with Miji's bra, to see how it looks with a cleavage.

Here's a little outfit sketch for Berry, inspired by her original outfit.

Imagining and making clothes is what I enjoy most about my work, so I'm having fun with it! All the outfits I'm going to make for this Project will also be usable for Divine Heel :D

____

At the moment I'm just imagining the possible scenes or possible choices, it's still messy.

We'll start with a small test with Berry, these will be test versions to get feedback, so my aim will be to make something simple and quick, and see how I "experience" it, in the sense that the whole process must remain enjoyable.

I don't expect it to be too burdensome, I've already thought about how I'm going to go about it, in theory it'll be "easy" to make it, all that's left is to experiment in practice.

I won't give a precise date because I don't want to commit myself to this project. I think the "little test with Berry" will happen in not so long. Maybe 2-3 months?

I mean, the character is almost ready, CWG's house is already done, etc... I have quite few things to "build", and the external events will use the places I created for Divine Heel, I'll really try to optimize my time/energy.

Thanks for reading all this, I'm going back to my work on DH before thinking about this project again, see you soon!

NB: I've just seen that I forgot Berry's pearl necklace, I'll give it back to her, of course!
