Games Ideas 1!

So, I meant to post this last night, and kinda screwed that up by shutting down my computer before hitting publish. Not one of my better moments.

---------------------------

First: A quick note for the $5+ Patrons. Jaylee is sick, something which I only discovered when I bugged her about the short yesterday. She said (last night) that she was about 50% done...but she sounded loopy enough that I'm not expecting it to be smooth editing even if she gets it to me in time -_-. Fair warning that it might be a day or two late.

----------------------------

Okay! With that out of the way, onto the meat of this post! I have some possible good news. Over Black Friday, I was able to pick up a Udemy course on creating character art for a good price. I don't currently have the Wacom(or similar) tablet needed to actually use the course, and probably won't be able to get it until after Christmas due to holiday expenses, but it's a step in the right direction if I decide to do with hand drawn art for any new projects! 

Aside from that, as I mentioned I was going to do, I've started getting my scribblings for new adult game ideas into a coherent form. I've got 5...well 5 and a half really, ideas overall, but I've only managed to pull three of them into an organized form at the moment. I figured I'd let you lot see those three. KEEP IN MIND that these are tentative concepts. Titles are working-titles only (almost certain to be replaced) and pretty much everything is subject to tweaking. The name of locations and such used in the little intros is also just a placeholder...probably. 

One last note before the ideas: Something to keep in mind when looking at these is that I DO NOT write Non-consent. Something which should be obvious by now from the way Eros Academy has been handled. I only mention this as a reminder, as assumptions could be made based off the concepts below that I might change that fact. This is not the case. Any games be me will ALWAYS be written with a healthy, positive mindset toward sexuality. Meaning, I don't write/code non-consent, or things like the nasty, cruel versions on degradation/humiliation. If you don't like that, tough. There are dozens of other free adult games here on Patreon that you can play instead.

Game Ideas:

To Train a Fantasy Maid:

Intro: 

You're the youngest noble of your small house in the Kingdom of Libratia. One day, just after you turn of age and are encouraged to move out on your own, you stumble upon a sight that tugs at your heart strings, in more ways than one. An elven maiden, beautiful despite the sorry state of her clothing and dirt in her hair, is sitting huddled against the mearge protection of a Alley entranceway, looking miserable as the evening begins to cool.

Your feet move without thought, and you cross to the white haired beauty. She seems to sense you coming and looks up, face a mixture of fear, defiance, and hoplessness....

What this game is:

At the beginning of the game you take in a naive elf maiden who has fallen on hard times. While you'd like to think you'd have done it anyway, you admit that you have an ulterior motive to offering her a position as a maid for your newly established household. She's utterly gorgeous, even for an elf, and you badly want her in your bed. Perhaps as merely a mistress...or maybe something more.

The goal of this game is to slowly seduce the naive young elf, turning her into the perfect, obedient, maid/lover for your tastes. Perhaps she'll become nothing more than your playthin, servicing your every need...or perhaps she'll become your wife, who satisfies your whims behind closed doors, while helping you rise to power in public.

What this game would probably use:

Renpy as an engine, likely with hand drawn artwork in a Visual Novel style. 

Pony girl trainer - Based off the Brothel Sim games:

Intro:

A new fad for the liberal sex city state of Libratania is to have trained ponygirls fill several different kinds of rolls in your household. As the heir to a well-known merchant cartel, looking to strike out into the world with your first independent business, you decide to get ahead of this fad and become a ponygirl trainer. You recruit, sell and rent ponygirls for both domestic and business use. Maybe you'll specialize in girls your clients can rent to pull their carts through town, or perhaps you'll focus on training racing ponygirls and strike it big at the ponygirl races! Maybe you'll even specialize in training obedient domestic pony girls to fill household roles for nobility! The options are plentiful, and it's up to you to choose...

What this game is:

As it implied with the title, this game focuses on a model much like the Brothel Sim style games (Example 1, Example 2) or Slave Maker. Rather than a fantastic amount of interaction with a single character, there will be a broad number of characters you can recruit, then train using various action types. Each girl I added to the game would have multiple events, and a few might be recruitable as trainers for other girls. However, like with the example given, I would likely also allow people to create add-on packs with their own girls. Additionally, there would be an element of empire building as you become more powerful in the city, eventually even having the chance to become a noble yourself through your renown and connections. 

What this game would probably use:

Engine – Whatever the heck the brothel sim games use. Needs research. I think some of them use Renpy, others I'm not sure. Pytfall has a Github page, meaning whatever it uses is likely open source.

Art – Likely mixed art, mostly taken from existing sources around the web. Mixed with some commissioned or created myself for the major characters. There’s a possibility I could use the more toon-style Daz models, hand draw, or commission the art. The overall art style for this game would have to be anime/cartoon style, not realistic, as there are not enough existing pony-girl type assets in existence for a realism take like Eros. 

The Sexy Thieves Guild

Intro:

In the city of Libratania, the thieves guild hasn’t been doing well at all. Finally, in an act of desperation, you and several of your allies manage to assassinate the old pervert that’s been running the guild for the last 70 years. While the loss of his connections really stings, and many memebrs of the guild scatter and factionalize without his authority, you've managed to hold onto the old bastard’s personal safe house and a small core of members. The trouble with that, of course, is that the old bastard was a pervert of the highest order. Still…you’re resourceful and certain you can make use of the many things in this place to help your faction rise to glory.

What this game is:

You start the game with a small stable of thieves and a very limited amount of control over them or trust from them, limiting how much you can get them to do and how successful their jobs will be. Being a resourceful soul, however, you decide to take advantage of the various ideas and objects the old guild leader left behind. 

Starting with basic punishments like a spanking for spectacular enough failures, or access to fine wines for brilliant successes, you ever so slowly sexualize rewards for success and punishments for failure. You can end up with a loyal harem of female thieves, a jolly crew of male followers enjoying a den of debauchery you've created...or stabbed in your sleep if you aren't careful and go too far too fast!

What this game would probably use:

Engine – To be honest, I’m not sure. I could probably pull this off with Renpy. However, there might be better options. Being realistic here, Renpy isn’t set up that well for some of the complex object-oriented code I’d want to use for this game. It’s more likely that I’d experiment with a few of the other common adult-game engines out there to find something workable…or create something myself. I do have a degree in game programming, even if I don’t really enjoy coding, and this wouldn’t call for anything super complex.

Art – Hmm…honestly this could go either way. There are enough thief-type assets out there for daz3d that I could execute a much more limited usage of Daz…or I could go with hand drawn art.

So, there you have it! 3 of the 5.5 ideas I currently am playing with. Feel free to let me know what you think! I'll try to post the other 2.5 ideas sometime in the near future...preferably after I properly eliminate or flesh out that half-an-idea.
