Game Stuff (Patreon)

Okay, so, this is something I've mentioned to you $25ers before but AGES ago, I sat down with a couple like-minded people and we started crafting a 2D-scrolling adventure game design doc for LoK (this was a couple years before the current LoK:Rebirth project).

The tl;dr version of this project is that it was outside the LoJR-verse, but it had plenty of nods towards it. It was a Leisure Suit Larry-esque adventure game with puzzles to solve, a story line to run through and plenty of dick for Krystal to chew through (perhaps not literally).

The furthest I got with these drafts was Chapter 1, which you'll also find attached here. Unfortunately, the programmer we were working with at the time dropped off the face of the earth, and no real progress was ever made beyond this outline. But it might be interesting for you guys to have a flip through, because of what I said in that title.

I've not really made it a secret that I want to make a game- one based in the CMYK universe that I've been (slowly) cobbling together, rather than the LoK one. Of course, there are a number of obstacles in my way- most notably that I don't have programming experience, and I know it takes a ton of time to put this together; I mean, LoK: Rebirth has been working steadily for 6 months now, and they're only on build 0.3c - and they have two people working on it.

I don't want to give up on the idea of an LoJR/CMYK game. I honestly think it'd be kind of fun. But I was staring at this doc again last night, and comparing it to Rebirth, thinking, "What is it people would want from the game?" Because to me, the most frustrating part of LoK: Rebirth is that it takes a solid 2 hours of grinding to get to actual grinding, and that's far too long in what's supposed to be a porn game. So I wouldn't want to make the same mistake in an LoJR/CMYK game.

So I guess I need to come up with some kind of concept that
1) One person can do
2) Has lots of opportunity for repeated sex animations/pictures
3) Isn't a dating sim

My first idea was to do something like Akabur's Magic Shop: where you have the chosen victim, and in choosing different combinations, you have a number of different outcomes, but in the LoJR universe there really isn't much in the way of transformation or magic, so I have a hard time trying to figure out how that would fit in. Also, the trouble with combination games is that it can rapidly get into the hundreds of different possible combinations. And that's a lot of drawing and/or animation I'd be doing.  :V

The other idea I've been kicking around is an empire building game (sort of). Like, Krystal (or whomever) decides they need to raise capital to restore the Great Fox after a major skirmish, and there are a number of ways they can do that: transporting goods and people (for cash), mining for materials (to sell for more cash), or just suckin' dick (for not as much cash at the beginning of the game). If your crew of sensual lady types are sufficiently hot, you can fuck the passengers for extra cash, or sleep with the material suppliers to get more cash/material per job. You can spend this cash on maintaining the Arwings (who would do daily skirmishes for... some other kind of material, but need to be repaired), building new rooms and repairing damage, building new rooms (the main game screen would be a cut-away diagram of the Great Fox, and in it, would be all these rooms you can build new stuff in, and people to interact with; kind of like the ship in X-Com.)

There are a couple problems with that though: I'm not sure what would qualify as the "end game": like, how do you know when you've won? Or do I just want people to play until they're bored? Also, something like this looks like it'd take a lot of thinking and math to try to balance out the numbers- something I'm super-not-qualified for.

Unless I turned it into one of those boring cookie-clicker-type games, and I'm pretty sure I don't want to do that.

Anyway, I wanted to ask you guys what would be interesting to play? What would you like to see? Have you any thoughts on this at all?What do you guys look for in porn games?

-- also also, keep in mind that this is in the far future- Patreon'd need to be a bit more stable an income before I can devote the time needed to do something like this. This isn't something that I'd be starting, say, next month. But if I can get this planned out properly, then I'll update the Patreon goals, and let the general public know, and we'll go from there.
