Ok, so here's my first poll for feedback on the Rogue game. I'm asking you guys how you would like me to render out sex scenes. I'd first like to explain what options I'm capable of here, and make it clear what each would involve. The more complicated methods would of course take longer, meaning that I could get less done, OR it would end up taking longer. Nothing happens without a cost. So here's what I could do.
A: Text/Chara-image: This is the method I've been using so far, and can be tested out in the beta. It involves using the character sprite, with limited movement around the screen/zoom, a few alternate hand poses, etc., combined with text descriptions of what's going on. The advantages to this system is that it's relatively easy to do. I can foucs on the scenarios, and can have more of them, and with more versatility. I can easily add more costumes to the game, more easily export the sex scenes from one character to another (with story changes, of course), it basically means I can add a lot more content to the game within any given period of time.
B: Unique images: This is like the "event" shots often seen in erogames, and would end up looking like the images I do weekly around here. The downside to this is of course the time needed to produce it. Each shot like this would take me as much time as it would take to do 2-3 of the above scenes. It would also mean that the image would not have as much variety as the chara-image versions, so like if she were wearing the pink outfit, the unique image might not reflect that look, it would be a single image for the sexual event. It also means that you couldn't have the scene in any room you wanted, which would limit the story options.
C: Unique images that adapt: This would be the most time consuming, at least that I'm capable of doing, and would involve making unique images as described above, while also making all paperdoll versions available so that the appearance she has in the rest of the game would be reflected on the unique sex image. This would of course be a TON of work, and would grow exponentially the more outfits I added to the game, since it would mean having to redraw and color each outfit for each sex scene I did this way. Doing this would of course slow things down to a crawl and it would take six months or more before I would have anything to show for it.
Then there's always the option of having a combination of them, in which most of the shots are one type, but where there might be a few unique story-based sex scenes that use the fancier options. This would still take a lot of time, but would at least take a lot less time than the "all B/C" options.
So these are the options (if you have other ones feel free to suggest them, but full animation is right off the table), so check out the poll and vote for the options that seem to work best for you. Also feel free to expand on your choices here or in PM.

Also, I'm looking for a background artist. I just don't enjoy it, and it takes up a lot of time I could be working on other parts of the project. The person working on this part of the project would be doing 4-6 background settings for the game, and would of course be compensated. If you're interested, PM me or email me at ohoni@hotmail.com.
