ACT Active [RCTR] Dark Soldier Yoiko-san ダークソルジャー ヨイコサン

[RCTR]

(//”≡◡≡”)🏍　I tried making a bike like the ones ridden by special effects heroes.

(//”≡◡≡”)I've started creating the fifth enemy character. It has crow-like characteristics and attacks from the air.

 

[RCTR]

(//”≡◡≡”)I wanted to add a transformation element to the player character, so I decided to implement a form for her that resembles a Showa-era Kamen Rider, where she is captured by an enemy organization and undergoes surgery to modify her body.

(//”≡◡≡”)This is the progress so far on the fifth enemy character. (There are still some characters for which I haven't prepared images yet.)

(；”≡ｗ≡”)I'm rethinking her transformation pose. I wanted to make it an homage to the original Kamen Rider 1 and 2, but this is a bit too similar...　 Hmm....

I don't see a problem with it being too similar! In fact, people would probably really like that they could recognize the pose.

Kinda weird to see this having the Abandoned tag while still being worked on huh, I thought someone got banned for asking for link or sumthing like that

 

[DarkFire1004]

Thanks for the reminder. I've changed it back to Active.

(//≧ᗜ≦)ゞ　Thank you for updating the thread settings～♪
By the way, the title of the game currently in development is " Dark Soldier Yoiko-san　(ダークソルジャー　ヨイコサン)"　(※ Tentative Title)

(//”≡◡≡”)φ　The animation for her transformation is complete. I will be gradually updating the images showing the differences from her standard form.

hopefully there will be some double teaming. a full nelson + belly punch would be great

Having followed the recent debates on X (Twitter) regarding pirated games, I’ve become quite mentally drained—to the point where I’m starting to wonder if it might be better to limit the sales of my own games exclusively to the Japanese market...

 

[DarkFire1004]

I guess you're talking about the Tekken 6 debate. There's a really fundamental difference in morality in regards to that between the west and the east. And in fact, this forum is probably not a good audience to discuss it with, as we are overwhelmingly in favor of piracy.

At least in the industry of H-games, the west has to jump through many hurdles just to legitimately purchase games from Japan. I imagine DLSite is one of the easiest avenues for a Japanese developer to sell their game, but they force us to go through proxy vendors to buy their points in order to get games. Steam has been making some good progress in offering a good alternative, but their policy on h-content is a little more strict.

The unfortunate reality is that even if you kept it exclusively in the Japanese market, somebody will find a way to pirate it anyway. If I remember correctly, a pretty recent example is when Elzee, the developer of Tunnel Escape, got fed up with the piracy and started doing some anti-western practices, which only motivated people to spread the game even more. On the other hand, there's been plenty of Japanese developers who released quality products to the west and made quite a lot of sales, despite the piracy.

It's easy to say to continue to try to sell in the west because people will support good developers, but honestly, it just makes more sense to me to open the doors regardless; I think making an extra 200 sales while being pirated 1000 times is still better than making no sales and being pirated 1200 times.

I’ve heard various opinions from different people regarding this matter; some points I found convincing, while others I did not.

I’m feeling a bit tired, so I think I’ll stop coming here.

I remember how happy I was when I first discovered this message board. Thank you to everyone who replied to or "liked" my game progress updates and images. And... I’m sorry.
