Hi guys. Long time lurker, recent poster.

I've been lucky enough to have the chance to work on my own h-game project with my team.
is a free-to-play building game currently in development for web (via Nutaku.net), downloadable .EXE and mobile.

WE HAVE A PLAYABLE DEMO AVAILABLE -It showcases the core game concept, systems, and introduction to the story.
If you see an error pop up in your browser, the game should be playable if you close it, we're working on that right now.


:ABOUT THE GAME:
Dimlight City is a fresh new spin on a classic genre. It is a "simulation" game in which players are tasked with building and managing their very own brothel.
Hire Gals, complete missions, and experience a wacky story set in a sugary dreamscape fantasy metropolis.

Basically the main goal of the game revolves around resource management.
If you have too many clients, but not enough rooms or Gals? You won't be making as hefty a profit.
The reverse is also true though- have plenty of Gals but aren't pulling in any clients? That won't work either.

It's up to you to figure out what you need at the moment and where you should be investing your resources.











:HOW CAN YOU GET INVOLVED?:
You can actually help us without emptying your pockets- re-tweeting us, sharing our links, and telling friends all go a great ways in helping us to make Dimlight City even better!

I'll be around here in the thread to answer any questions you guys might have.
If you guys want to speak with the art director or any other member of the team, feel free to drop by our instead.

Good luck with it! I'm already following pretty closely to it! The art is what I really fall in love with, you've sold me the second I saw it.

Yeah, we're just not publicizing it, so we're pretty new on the scene, but we've been working on it for the past couple of months.

Oh yeah, I saw your stuff on Twitter and checked you out.
You've got a really unique style, I love it!
I'm really fond of people who try new and different aesthetics, especially when they're consistent about it.

It's Love Make Hotel with tumblr art. I applaud your efforts and the nice presentation, but I'm gonna have to subtract points for lack of originality.

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

Looking forward to it, but will wait for some kind of demo version or the full game before I get my hopes up.
One of my first games was Sim Tower and I enjoyed the brothel manager with the wall girls (forgot the name).

This game looks great - I can definitely see the devs know what they're doing.

Not sure if you're being serious. Love Make Hotel is a ripoff of a game from 1994 that was extremely popular in Japan called SimTower. All they did was add porn.

Dozens of games have copied it. Tiny Tower, Corporation Inc., Shop Empire 1 & 2, Happy Tower, Fallout Shelter (at least you build underground in this one), Theme Hotel, Dream Heights, and Project Highrise...there's even an official Star Wars one called Star Wars: Tiny Death Star. This isn't even including the mobile games.

So as far as originality goes I'd say Love Make Hotel is about 22 years too late.

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

In my book, art and style wise, this is gonna be a totally fappble brothel game compared to same kind a game I played last year with shitty art and some annoying blue haired loli companion...
You got my 2cents bro, I like the art.

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

Sweet baby jesus, the detail on the art. That's something that came straight out of a company that means business, it has to be. AND it's free-to-play? Damn, sign me up!

Now all that's left to see is how good the H-content is going to be, because, after all, that's all that matters to me when it comes to H-games. Keep blowing our minds and you'll get very far, I promise.

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

Wow, thanks so much for the support guys, it's really satisfying to see such a positive response, especially since we've been working in the dark for the past couple of months!

Just wanted to drop in and let you guys know we've made several updates to our campaign.
First, we've added a new reward to the $15 and up tiers since we felt they were a bit lacking- you can now get a room exclusive to Kimochi!
We also added a reward tier for people who wanted to add something to the game, but don't quite want to go as far as the Premium Gal tier. The tier allows you to work with our artist to design an outfit to have it added in game to the procedurally generated outfits pool.

We've also added some nice new graphics to reflect these changes, hope you guys enjoy them!


A note about pledge upgrading- currently it's not in Kimochi, but Nutaku's working on getting that fixed.
In the mean time, if you've made a pledge and you would like to upgrade, simply make an additional pledge without selecting a reward then message us on Discord or email us.
We will be able to go ahead and confirm your total pledge and personally upgrade your tier in our records.


Anyways, big thank you to anyone who has contributed so far and for everyone's kind words of support in this thread!
Really glad you guys are liking it so far and we'll do our best to keep everyone updated as we continue to add features!

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

That first blog post detailing a bit of the character creation process was quite impressive. Not to mention that everything looks incredibly professional, which is not something you see on these forums everyday. Definitely looking forward to your further progress.

Just out of curiosity though, do you guys plan to add more body types to the game further down the line?

Thanks!

For launch, we'll just have the one body type for procedurally generated Gals due to how the animation skeletons work.

However, Premium Gals (and Guys) don't share the same skeleton and thus can have almost any type of body.
These characters are currently only shaping up to have around 2 animations per character, but their animations are unique to fit their body style and personality.
For instance, a super busty MILF character will be able to get a paizuri animation.

Also the player will end up unlocking a couple of Premium Gals as a part of the story, so eventually you will unlock Gals with unique body types through just playing the game.

I tend not to fund things until I can play a demo, but this does look fun. Any news on a test build or did I miss one?

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

All they did was add porn.
And that's what makes it original, duh. Because no one came up with that idea until that game. Likewise, there are a lot of 'fling stuff at enemy castle' games, but Flying Princess was first game to combine that with porn. And that's the point of originality.

Setting that aside, game does indeed look promising, but that's only screenshots for now. Pictures are nice, but without a little bit gameplay it's kinda hard to judge.

That's not the point of originality. Flying Princess wouldn't exist without Crush the Castle. It's not original. You don't get to add 1 thing to the foundation of another game and call it yours and whine every time someone else does the same.

Yes, it wouldn't exist without Crush the Castle, and no one is denying that. As well many other games wouldn't exist without their predecessor. However, the one who is missing the point of originality is you - you cannot claim that the game is not original just because it's of existing genre. Game consists of many different aspects, and if it somehow innovates in any of them, I think it should be considered original. Otherwise, all the games that are made nowadays are not original - because somewhere in 90s or 00s was created RPG, or RTS, or whatever. That doesn't work like that, man.

You don't get to add 1 thing to the foundation of another game and call it yours and whine every time someone else does the same.
No one is whining here, but ok, let's go with that. As I've mentioned above, yes, you do get to add 1 thing to the foundation, if that thing differentiates it from the others in the genre. And I'm talking sensible things, not the color of the menus.
There probably times where there were no side scrolling with H-content. Was first sidescroller (Jungle/Demon Girl for me, but there probably were others before) with porn slapped on it original in terms of the basic concept? Hell no, but it original just because of the fact that it had porn. And can we call any modern H-sidescrollers original? Probably not, because they add nothing new to the formula.

Anyway, that's beyond the point of this topic, so bring it to PM if you have anything to add.

I'm already a fan of the OL girl design. :p

Now, I'll wait patiently until more content and gameplay added!
