Greetings, fellow lewd Gamers! o/

I am creating a platformer, adventure, survival, exploration game. In here, you, the player, will be able to create their character, choose gender and appearance. Then, embark on an adventure, by EITHER discovering new lands, encountering wild life and vegetation, gathering natural resources, crafting items, discovering history of events in those lands OR climb a social ladder within tribal village, make coin, build your shelter, forge relationships, find lovers or enemies, engage in intimate intercourse or fight and steal. Choose your way, or experience all together. Though, one thing, during your journey make sure to take good care of your character, he or she might get cold, infected or hungry, which can have dire consequences.

Main Features:
Finding your place in Society;
Exploration of lands;
Survival;
Uncovering history;

Game Elements:
Combat;
Inventory / Trade / Interests;
Hunting / Gathering;
Housing;
Social relationships;
Unique Conversations/ Gossip;
History;
Adult content;


Since Patreon page does not tell much about H-content, here is a list of what to expect:
M-F, MM-F, F-F, Animal, Plant, Monster, possible Futa.


Please consider supporting, it would mean a world to me :)

Okay, let's go over the list of why this is probably a scam.

>Tenuous grasp on the English language
>No existing demo
>OP doesn't explain what the game contains/what it's about
>Immediately links to a patreon
>"Game" in the video looks fairly simple and cheap in terms of design
>Patreon only gives very vague concepts of what to expect

Nice try, but it's not Christmas. Reported, escorted, deported.

Wouldn't necessarily call it a scam, but I do agree with everything else. Come on man, there's almost nothing to work with here and you already want money for it? Its not even smart, you're kinda ruining your pitch by asking for money THIS early.

I don't think this is a scam, but I do agree that your opening post should have probably waited until you had that public demo you mention, it looks like you've put a lot of work into this, as the video on your patreon shows, it looks like you've already got a lot of the groundwork, but we don't know what that adult content will look like. I am looking forward to it and hope you succeed, a couple criticisms though.

first, it shows the character's name in the video in pretty much all the footage. I don't know if there is a way to turn that off, but I don't see how knowing what the player's name is at all times is important, the camera is centered on the protagonist, its not like we will lose where they are and have to find them through the name, so that should be removed imo.

second, and this is might sound whiny, but I don't think having the cheapest option for a demo at 10 dollars is a good idea, obviously it works for some people, but many of the more successful patreon projects I've seen will have a 5 dollar tier for that, or a one-week-late 5 dollar tier, and a as soon as finished 10 dollar one, speaking for myself, I will probably only pledge once if it remains at such a tier, if at all, but I am reluctant to pledge because it doesn't look like there is much more to show atm

Good luck!

While I agree with most points, going over his patreon you will see he does have a good grasp on the English language.

to more constructive criticism: I will say that getting as much done as you did in 20 days is pretty nice, but perhaps sending out a demo to let us explore at least part of what you made would make a better sales pitch. You said in your patreon you had 8 areas done, and by sending out a simple move around demo to explore even some of these would probably increase incentive for others to donate, even without h-content, because its at least some sort of tangible way to judge if your project is worth it (also there is a lot someone can pull from environments, such as future enemy types, potential mechanics ect.).

With this style of gameplay, you're going to want to take a lot of notes from a game called . It has the same kind of POV and combat system you're most likely going for.

What I have noticed so far: Movement seems way to snappy and weighted. The walk cycle needs to be a bit slower and the character doesn't need to fall as fast.

Wow! There are comments, didn't expect them this early.

I see there are some concerns, but never though people could take it as a scam. Surprised.
I will answer several raised questions below.

English language: not native.

No existing demo: well yea : /, but that is coming inevitably.

OP doesn't explain what the game contains/what it's about: Reason: I am working on a "game" alone, and it does not matter how fast I work, if somebody else, that for example has a team, learns my idea, they could do it faster then I can in their own project. And, I, have some strong ideas, that I want to see them released first in one of my public builds, before they appear anywhere else on the web.

"Game" in the video looks fairly simple and cheap in terms of design: First, let me address the name of "Game", I am still debating what I should call it, had couple dozen ideas, none seemed to sit well for me. So it is an open question. Secondly, design, overview video showcased only features, which has base functionality done for most part.

Patreon only gives very vague concepts of what to expect: Same reasoning, can't share too much.

...shows the character's name...: that will be turned off for main character, just a way of showing how names above other characters/npcs will look like. Though it can easily be changed on like a mouseover action. Although display of names will have additional function, other than just showing a names of characters/npcs.

sending out a simple move around demo to explore : I will consider doing that.

Movement seems way to snappy and weighted: Movement actually feels quite nice once hand is on the keyboard, but I agree that some tweaking still needs to be done.


Hope this answers some of your questions, for better or worse.
Thanks for feedback and criticism.

The video shows some nice fluid animations and the shadows, particle effects, and physics are pretty neat. However, this is a Hgame forum and I assume that I'm not the only one who wants to know what to expect on that end. Is it vanilla, non-con, monsters, animals, guro, lesbian, futa, or any other possible fetish? I think you might peak more people's interest here if you end up hitting on what it is they may like to see in that regard.

Hey, that is actually a good point about this being a H-game forum, thank you. I was reluctant on putting such info in Patreon page, besides mentioning, that such content will exist within the game, but here I can definitely say a thing or two about what to expect. I'll edit a very first post. Thank you.

Hmm.. Shows a lot of potential. I'd recommend finding teammates to help you with this.
While your stake on originality is respectable, remember that delving something "new" requires more maintenance than spamming the norm. This means, once you release something in the end, it's going to look shabby unless there's a definitive mark between quality of games, and quantity.
Say you reached out to maybe 3 other people, one for illustration/animation, one for front-work coding, and the other for back-side coding, you'd have your idea a bit more set in stone.
I'm just giving my two cents. I'm more than ready for a new frontier on ecchi's, I'd just hate for this to go down the route Malice and the Machine went.

Is this an asset flip? I swear I´ve seen those bow motions,run cycles and tiles before. Not that I mind tho some great games are asset flips.
Looking forward for the H-elements.

Yep, asset flips. Do not have resources to do unique animations for left and right sides, maybe later, in far future.

The problem with this is, if you haven't linked content right away, how am I supposed to remember to care? Make something substantial that'll surprise me at least a bit and make an impression, then advertise your work. Either way, no gibs shekels for no product lol. But I wish you luck and god speed.

It's better to just follow the patreon/thread, then support when a public demo pops up. Seems heartless, but there's been way too many letdowns.

Pardon for no updates in past week and a half. Life went from being 8/10 to 2/10. Soon, in a week or so, going to return to preparing demo.

Btw, I am thinking if maybe I should let patreons decide what the name of this game going to be. Idk, currently just a thought.

I'm only just getting around to watching that opening video but I have to ask; is that going to be the main heroine's design (assuming that that is a girl in the video)? If so....it's definitely not my favorite. Perhaps it's just me, but she doesn't exactly come across as being particularly appealing or attractive. There's nothing sexy/or cute for me to look at there. Enough so that it actually turns me away from whatever other features the game might offer.

Granted, that's my personal viewpoint as someone who prefers girlier features (and clothing to boot) on thier h game heroines as well as long hair. That's not to say that she needs to be over-proportioned and exploding out of her clothes, no, but enough curvature to at least be visible/noticeable is always nice. That's what my opinion is currently sitting at.
