Re: YOU design a platformer RoR game: need opinions!
Hello. Up until now I was a lurker here. Also before I go any further I would like to mention I did not read this entire thread word for word, but this caught my attention.
Each of these pictures seem to be direct traces/paintovers of scenes from other hentai games. In the first one, Iris Action. The second, Viper RSR (I think), the third, I'm not sure but it looks very familiar.
Actually, none of them are traceovers. The Iris Action one is a remaking of a scene, but nothing on it is traced.
The Viper one is of the character, but again, nothing is traced. Try finding that scene anywhere in the Viper games, or that pose.
The third one is completely original art, actually.
The fact that these are assumed to be traceovers has actually flattered my artist, haha, I've seen him draw these and they're not traceovers. That, and he's going to be animating stuff with nearly that caliber of artwork, so the whole theory of "tracing" goes right out the window.
As far as everyone else's suggestions, I do want to point out, I will try to do as many of these things as possible, but quite a few of the suggestions are contradictory (as in, person A wants this, person B doesn't want it) and that I'm only a single programmer using MMF2, so some of them I may not be able to do.
That said, I am a professional writer as well, and yes, there will definitely be dialogue during some sections/scenes, for sure. I actually used to specialize in writing erotica a while back, so you can definitely expect some really explicit, yet well written stuff.
And no, it won't be like "He deflowered her with the passion of lust deep within his veins", fuck that, lol.
Sometime later today I'll go through all the suggestions again and make a list of the ones I absolutely CAN'T do due to limitations in programming ability on my part.
That said, if this hentai game DOES do well in the marketplace, he and I would likely be up for having a highly skilled programmer on staff, where we'd have a writer/artist/programmer trio, so to speak.
We will also definitely have voices in it, and I know a few people who can do very good voicework.
Finally, for everyone wanting futa, I will say that giving the protagonist futa on/off would be a programming nightmare, just because of all the new positions they'd be expected to use, so that likely won't happen, but I personally wouldn't be against an enemy being a futa female without balls, I'd have to ask the artist how he feels about that though.
I can also guarantee you all that the most blood you will see in this game will be LESS than Iris Action had, i.e. at most scratches or something like that when clothes were ripped off, and even then it'll be a rare occurrence.
If you'd like me to post some of the artist's animation work (it's linework, not colored in) I can do that, as well: the examples I'd be posting are admittedly taken from a doujin, but they're a single frame, which he then animated by adding in additional, new artwork that wasn't there before.
