Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

Kinda reminded me of that brothel game
RJ138742 or something, the art is adorable, keep it up.

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

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.

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?

Since it's a free-to-play web game, we're not sure if a demo would be a sensible thing to do.
On top of that, we'd have to get permission from Nutaku.
I'll definitely let you guys know if that changes however.

Until then, for now all we can do is continue to update the blog and our Twitter with new screenshots, concept, and assets.
Rest assured, even if we end up not having a demo, we'll be doing our best to keep you guys in the loop.

I'm pretty sure that's called innovation, not originality. But hey! the important thing is, don't judge a book by its cover's originality!

Aww man, does this mean we cannot play until the game is finished?

For now, yeah.

Mate, love the Sim Tower design!

Awesome, thanks man!


Anyways just wanted to drop in again and mention that we've just recently broken the 2k mark!
You guys have been very awesome, and the support is appreciated.
Thank you guys for helping us get this far!

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

Just read your Kimochi page and what caught my eye was the fetish section.

I would love to see you get hit that mark! Having a dungeon sounds so good!

Also, if a demo is out of the question what about a teaser video? You could show off a day in game.

Well, it's not quite a gameplay video, but we currently have a trailer in the works!

Anyways, here's a sneak peek at the backer exclusive room available from the $15+ tiers.

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

Hey there guys!
Just wanted to drop off a status update and show off some of the new maps we've made for the city!

These are three different districts of the city.
Once the fourth is done they'll all be combined into one awesome city map!

 

[NoblePhantasm]

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

Looking good so far.

Looking at the the world map made me think. Will the brothel be expanding to other areas like Gold Standard and Quarter of Grime?

Those district names are killing me.

Oh and the city looks jazzy!

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

Eh.... im not even going to go into how bad of a plan this was. Fuck me sidaways, this was a flop on day 1.

Now, now, you should at least give them the benefit of the doubt.

Well it does say on their kimochi page that the game is already in development and what ever they raised would just help them make a better product.

So I am a little confused why you would call this a flop on day 1.

Its just not right tho, crowdfunding a FTP game with microtransactions?
why not just make a normal game? charge people $5 for it during crowdfunding than $10 when its done?
It could have been so much better...

Oh, you mean that part. I thought you were talking about the game itself back there.

Well then about that, it does seems sketchy, but if i read it right the crowdfunding was for making the extra contents, not for finishing the game, i'm not so sure myself tho.
I think it will be better if we let the OP themself answer this for clear confirmation.

Oh and B00marrows, where does you found your new profile pic? It doesn't look so cactus-y anymore.

 

[Azoriss]

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

You guys thinking of going the "Hunie pop" way and make a optional patch to enable the porn ?

also, what kind of porn we talking here ?
and more importantly, what will be the options ?
like freezing the ingame clock to look at the animations playing etc etc etc ...?

 

[B00marrows]

Re: Dimlight City: Brothel Builder

"sketchy"

that a verry "nice" way of putting it.

Same game, same character, bonus art.

Maybe it's because i haven't give them any of my money myself, so i will give them the benefit of the doubt at the minimum.

Same game, same character, bonus art.

Oh, i have to admit, i didn't really follow that thread anymore.
I know that she's still the same Kobold Princess, but that pic of her sure is making her look different. Less cactus-y.

There will be missions in those other areas, but the brothel won't be expanding for a while.
Eventually we'd like to do events where you have to start and run special themed brothels, but that's down the line.

Speaking of maps we've also actually finished the main map of Dimlight City as it will be seen in-game.
You can check it out on our twitter and I'll be making a blog post with it this Thursday.

Videogames are a business as much as any other.
While we definitely want to make a great game, I'm responsible for making sure the entire team can pay the bills and that we can continue to support this game with additional content.
Free to play allows us to be able to continue to add new content to the game over time such as additional Gals, rooms, and story events.
We're crowdfunding to be able to increase the volume of content we can afford at the start specifically so we can be more lenient with our monetization options, and assuming we do well enough, add in some additional functional systems.

Either way, the game has enough resources behind it to ensure its launch regardless of the crowdfunding.
We're also not just taking donations here, we're more or less taking "pre-orders" as we are giving all of our backers in-game rewards and exclusive rewards which can only be gotten on Kimochi.

This is mentioned on the Kimochi page in the section specifically discussing money, I've done my best to be transparent about this.

The Nutaku and downloadable versions will have porn in them from the start, no need to patch it out.
The steam and android versions will have the sex scenes either silhouette or covered up, and there will be no patch.
Gotta play it on Nutaku for the porn.

This scene is currently on the Kimochi, but I'll post it here again as well in terms of porn.
We've made some changes to the Guy's face since this was originally created, so worry not if it looks off to you. (the Gals too actually)

"Downloadable versions"? I was under impression that this will be online-only game. Did you mean game client or good old offline version?
