New game idea
🕑 Added 2019-03-14 15:10:35 +0000 UTCI'm just bouncing this off y'all at this point... I haven't put any work into this except coming up with some ideas.
Basically, the game would have a similar theme to Damsels -- meet girls, convince them to join you, adventure with them or send them off on adventures. But I envision significant differences as well.
1. All the girls would be scripted. They'd have stats that you could improve, and they'd level up, but their dialog and art would be unique to them. Rather than getting them to embrace random fetishes as in Damsels, their inclinations would determine what path you could go down with each one.
2. This game would be much more text heavy. It might not be a Ren'py game as a result -- I'd have to play with the UI some to see if I could get it to do what I want it to. But I'm imagining fully written out sex scenes, like you see in Corruption of Champions, or like you'd read in a novel. Scrolling and smaller font size would be used to put more text on the screen.
3. The adventures girls go on without you would not involve you making combat decisions, nor would they always require the same magic number of adventurers. Rather, they would come in types (e.g, "Scouting") and would use skills characters have to determine success. Success and Failure would affect the girls differently, produce different text (Adventures would have a success text and a failure text) and sometimes affect the plot as a whole, unlocking new possibilities for you in the future. The inspiration here was the Garrison in the Warlords of Draenor expansion to World of Warcraft.
4. There would be much less emphasis on graphics. I'm not anticipating any full screen graphics, although there might be the occasional splash screen. There would be pictures of characters, and they would probably take multiple outfit choices (some of which would be unlocked as the game went on), but *not* pictures of sexual acts -- the explicit part of the game would be the text. I'm a professional writer. I'm not a professional programmer, and I'm not a professional graphic artist, so part of this is about playing to my strengths.
5. The mechanic where the girls come to you for sex would not exist. Rather, you'll have a choice with each girl in your harem whether you want to send her out for an adventure, have sexy times with her, or leave her alone.
6. By making a more text based game, I could welcome community additions to the game, and accept more community suggestions. A lot of times people have suggested very hot ideas that I simply can't make graphics for, so I've not been able to do them. I'm getting a little tired of having my imagination limited by what I can do in Daz. The lack of good rope bondage scenes is one example. It's amazing what one *can* do with renders, but eventually, the number of things one can't do piles up.
Anyway, give me some feedback, please. I may turn this into a poll later, but right now I just want a few words about what you like / don't like about this idea.

I'll be working on number 1 with the current game -- it'll work something like that, in the end.

Thanks for your feedback. much appreciated. :) Part of the reason why there isn't an inventory as such is thematic -- the girls want the pluses on the items, and they tend to view the fetishes as a curse that they are willing to take on to take the item. I should probably make this clearer. Anyway, from your point of view -- "She's already an Exhbitionist, why do I want her to have that?" -- but from their point of view, that's an item with all the upside and none of the downside.
Lovely reading about your Thoughts. Here is some feedback: I personaly think the game idea is very close to Damsels. Thats why i would suggest that u stick with it becuase its a very awesome game. If Renpy is limited or so maybe go for Damsels 2 with another engine. 1. I realy love having characters with a bit storry and personalied. That would give the oporunity to "unlock/find" them at certain placed and it would be a bit more special. If a girl is seriously unhappy and takes off ill probly let her return to where one has found her. 2. & 4. stick to your awesome graphics (also of sexual acts). 5. I would probly change the mechanic to something like: main-character has not "talked/visted" for X (X=7) days -> i go check on him. 6. Maybe post out a sticky Wanted for someone who is good with Renders/graphics If savegames get lost due to changes, sucks but its fun to start over anyways so i would not bother from time to time. A feature i would find very helpful in damsels would be an inventory. With that you could equip and uneqip found items so one does not end up with 5 times the same stat on the same girl.
