[IMPORTANT] For 'Our Apartment' what content are you most looking forward to?
Added 2019-06-22 01:30:00 +0000 UTCTrying to get some perspective on what content people are looking for the most. As usual this won't set a concrete path but does let me strategize what I work on in a hopefully more satisfying way for everyone.
Because of some of this stuff is not visible to everyone yet, I'll explain all of these for perspective. Your vote on this is very important for me!
Also please read the previous post for better context of this!
Dialogue Driven Sex Animations
I know this ins't playable for most people yet but this can be described as the animations in "Wolf girl and you". A scene is playing with dialogue and progresses as the dialogue progresses VN style. Choices can branch those animations like choosing to cum inside or outside, or maybe choosing a position.
I may add mild interactions, like the option to grope, but that's a low priority aspect.
You will be able to disrobe as you please and fully control the camera optionally.
Dialogue Driven Story Animations
Given it's a functional dialogue system I can allow for normal character interactions, the first of these is a scene called "3 Weeks" which i'll explain more later but this scene currently only has it's voice acting complete.
Ultimately I want to "format" these into a more easy to make, set up, but it needs to be done first. Like set up a set of animations for dialogue interactions that take place while both Naomi and the player are sitting on the living room couch or some other place in the home. This formatting would make any additional scenes easier to make.
More Outfit Options for Naomi
I have a lot of plans for outfits, I can make them easier once I get a new PC with a better processor. At the moment my processor is a huge bottleneck in clothing production making it much slower than it needs to be. So creating new outfits for now is a large chunk of time.
I want to stream line this a bit by just offering texture variations for some stuff like stockings or shirts.
More Customization Options for the Male Avatar
I have a good deal of plans for this and i think it's important for player enjoyment over time. The last poll this seemed low priority for most people, but this is the aspect I hopefully want to use to attract more people to the game. So even if the story is quite normal and vanilla, the scenario they role play themselves as can be what they enjoy.
More on this in the future.
'Sex Sim' game play similar to The Couch but without dialogue integration to the extent originally intended
This initially may take a lot of time. But i think I'm capable of pulling this off. If the gameplay of The Couch was a huge pull for you, I understand that but also under stand it would take some time to get back to the point that game was at. It would be faster than it took that game, cause we're using 3D models now. But it would definitely take time away from any other content production.
If i tackle this there may be a month or two at least of nothing other than the development of this gameplay. There may be only experimental builds, but they will be released to all patrons at some point or another.
At the moment my plan is to work on this slowly while making more dedicated content. But if it turns out The Couch gameplay is what you guys really want, i could dedicate a month at a time, like work on it one month (with no other updates besides that topic and maybe a cross-promo customization item), then the next month focus on the dialogue driven content.
This will be mainly a gameplay focus, and won't have the AI style dialogue integration planned for The Couch but may have some dynamic elements and dialogue play, i'll be setting up most of it myself using Bolt so there's no worry of issues.
EDIT: I also want to point out that since this is a 3D game, once it's done once, doing it in other positions may be relatively easy.
Expand on the environment design to make it feel more catered to the story
Right now the environment is nice, but doesn't really tell a story of who lives there and how they live. 90% of the current environment is just a very pretty place holder.
I want to change this, but while i like painting environments i don't like modeling environment assets lol. this is just to see how important the environment being rather basic is to people. It's less about what i work on, and more about if i focus more on commissioning stuff for it.
Other
Is there something missing that i didn't mention? Maybe music is a big deal for you or something else you expected to see but haven't? Please let me know in the comments! Feedback is valuable to me, even if something seems way off base it lets me know where peoples head might be.
Some things like "Jizz effects" are a given in my mind, but feel free to mention stuff like that anyway!
All that said thanks for your support! i'll keep trying to maintain momentum!
