Progress Report

Hi everyone!

Since last week, I have finished my improvements of Belle's riverside sex scene, the one where you watch the mystery woman. I am now working on improvements to the Fairy Queen's blowjob training. 

Also, I have started doing serious design work on my next game, which I know many of you are eager to learn more about. Truth to be told, I'm scared shitless of talking about it. There's this part of me that knows that the moment I share any details about it is the moment the game solidifies and becomes something tangible instead of the hundreds of crazy ideas I have right now. But sooner or later, I'm going to have to talk about it.

And I think it's going to be sooner. I'll begin by sharing my thoughts with those of you who support me at the Wizard level or higher, just to keep things manageable at first. I won't talk about everything, but I will share my ideas and listen to any feedback. For all I know, my ideas might be horrible and require a massive redesign. Hopefully not. 

I have already said this many times before, but I feel it bears repeating: My next game will be very different from LLtP in most ways. Don't expect another free-roaming fantasy VN, to put it like that. I know that some of you will be disappointed by the direction I choose to go in, while others will be excited about it. It's just the way these things are. I'm someone who doesn't like to get stuck in a single mold. I have all these crazy ideas and ambitions, and limiting myself to a LLtP 2 would be torture to my creative juices, even if just in spirit. 

With LLtP, I sought to build a game that was different from the adult games at the time, and I feel like I succeeded. In fact, I have seen several other games copy game mechanics and other concepts from my game, and that is both flattering and evidence that I achieved my goal. For my next game, I don't want to be chasing others. I want others to chase me. We'll see how that works out, but my ambition knows no bounds (besides the fact that I'm a lone developer, but hey). 

Anyway, none of this should be too much of a concern to any of you just yet. We're a long way off from the first version of this game, and I still have many updates left to do for LLtP before it's done. The only difference will be that I will start talking more openly about my plans in the time to come, and I will probably begin coding it soon. I am very excited (and nervous) to get started.

Until next time!

Comments

I'd rather not. Partly because I don't want to make it seem like I'm attacking some of them, and partly because many of the people I know who were inspired by LLtP communicated this to me in private correspondences over these past few years. Not all of the inspirations are obvious. Some were inspired by the writing, convincing them that it was both possible and worth it to tell good stories in adult games. Others were inspired by the game mechanics, particularly the clue system. This is the kind of thing I want to do again. I am never okay with mediocrity from my own hands. I need to break new ground to be happy.

Are you willing to share which other games took inspiration from your concepts and mechanics? (Unless you don’t want to give them free advertising.)
