Making a Flash Platformer

[Djinbu]

I really will just use this for getting input. While most of this is me doing my own thing, I still want to get peoples' perspective on my ideas. My current question is simple, but I need to provide a little back story.

First of all, I have a Blogspot, however, I am unable to post a link because of this forum's incredibly reasonable rule about not posting URL's unless you have 15 posts. This game has already changed a lot, but right now I have the core of it down.

I recently (today) decided to implement pregnancy into the game. While I'm not particularly interested in pregnant women, however, I love the idea of a female getting violated by a monster and forced to give birth to its spawn. As such, I have already made my first sprite rape where the character is forced to swallow a slime, which then causes her to get pregnant. I feel you should be able to keep playing while pregnant, but to discourage running around pregnant, your speed is slowed and you're unable to jump.

There is no way to get rid of the pregnancy, except to wait it out. I actually like this idea, and wanted to get some input into it from other peoples' perspectives. But before you get all angry about the game sounding like it'll be hard, I do want the game to be hard. Original NES games hard.

Well, that way of handling pregnancy sounds fun for the first time, but the novelty will wear off pretty quickly, after which it'll turn into an annoyance.

As for making the game hard, well, you just have to look at all the bitching and moaning surrounding Sakyubasy no tatakai to see that it will not be a popular choice. Not saying that it's a bad thing, but most people don't seem to like their hentai games unreasonably hard.

Hard games are fun in a way, as long as the hardness comes from something thats not an nuinsance.

I've been also thinking about pregnancy systems in games for platformers a bit, but I'll say that its very hard to get working for it to not become bit too anoying.

Honestly? If you're gona put a pregnancy system make it slightly random or enemy specific so you won't get the status every time.


Also I think you can by pass the filter by editing the http part to hxxp or something in the link.

Also dont be afraid to have an area that is only or more easily accessible while pregnant. It would be fun to 'reward' that status.

Oooooh.... I'll be keeping an eye on this one. PM me your link if you already have something up for play testing.

From the way I plan, not everything will impregnate you. The only one that does as of right now is the white slime, and it does it every time simply because it forces its way into your mouth, then reproduces, causing you to spew out three more after 35 seconds.

The only time pregnancy will be a massive issue is if you're surrounded. If you get pregnant and kill everything off, then before the next area, you'll likely give birth.

Oberon, I think I'll have little trials similar to the Devil May Cry series where you just try to emerge while victorious and one will be an always pregnant trial.

The blog is hxxp://Djinbu.blogspot.com , though there's not much up. Mayhap I'll record a video of the pregnancy concept. I have a test stage done and most of the basic animations...

Definitely watching this one. Games featuring nanocrisis-style pregnancy are too rare. Can't wait for a demo.
