Developer Interview w/Droid Droidson of Flexible Media

It's time for a new series, where we interview the people developing your games... And we're starting with DROID - the Producer/Lead Coder for Paradise Lust. It's a patron exclusive - hope you enjoy! 

If you want to know more, ask your questions in the comments! 

Q: What do you do on Paradise Lust?

Code, and a little bit of design. I had my head start on making adult games a little before the rest (and I may be more of a perv than them?) so I come at it from a slightly different direction.

Q: If you had to date a character from Paradise Lust In Real Life - Who would it be?

Date? Probably Cath; she’s fun and no-strings attached. Marry, definitely Andrea.

Q: What would you advise new devs wanting to make lewd games?

Start small. Everything takes several times longer than you think they do, and the lessons of bringing something out there, completing it and getting feedback is invaluable. Once you’ve completed one or two games you can always expand the scope, knowing what you now know about the tasks involved.

Q: What's different for you between working on Love of Magic and Paradise Lust?

Love of Magic is a hobby project, and since I’m the solo dev it meant I had to pick up a bunch of new skills. It’s the first time I was doing 3D in Daz, modelling and simulating in Blender, learning how to use AfterEffects for videos and trailers, doing creative writing for the first time since highschool, and learning how to interact with the community. The code and design parts of the game were honestly the easy parts. Personally I’ve really felt it helped me to grow as a developer; after coding for 20 years it’s easy to feel you’re stuck in a rut.

Paradise Lust’s a very different project; there’s an actual team involved, and I get to see all the amazing art the artists are putting together, read Chase’s writing, and see how Chastitty interprets them ingame.

Q: What other lewd games are you playing?

I try to keep track of new and interesting games; most recently Pale Carnations and Our Red String. I really enjoyed What a Legend, and went back to play after their recent update. Finally Pandaman, once upon a time the rendering intern for Love of Magic, is making Price of Power, an erotic fantasy game with plenty of lewd handholding.
