Public Dev Update: About the Future...

The image has nothing to do w/this post. But I thought Andrea would get your attention. 

Was writing a reply to someone on Discord earlier, and then realized it was worth sharing with a wider audience. 

I wanted to talk a bit about our focus in the next few months. 

This started with someone saying that they were happy that we were continuing constant development on the game and not abandoning it. And that's cool. Thanks. We appreciate being appreciated. :) We...

Games We Love Shoutout: Inquisitor Trainer by Adeptus Celeng

Inquisitor Trainer is a parody of the grimdark future. In this game you will find a lot of High-quality hand drawn drawings and elaborate animation of erotic scenes.

Player will take the role of a young female protagonist, an Acolyte in service to an inquisitor.

She will be tasked to investigate the disappearanc...

SFW Mode ENABLED!

So, we've pretty much sorted out the SFW mode - so you can play the game w/o any of those nasty, nasty, nasty BEWBS getting you banned from Twitch or YouTube! Essentially, the game is exactly the same, and you still get the text, but we've covered up anything that should get you ban-hammered. 

So - if you ever thought about streaming or making some videos... now is the time. The beta-branch has this now, and we'll be including it in the next Update (Nov 22) for those who aren't on ...

LewdPixels reviews Paradise Lust

3.5 stars and some interesting thoughts on what (I think?) is our first official review of the Early Access "Paradise Lust" on LewdPixels.

What do you think? Did they get it right? Disagree? 

Games We Love Shoutout: Memoirs of a Battle Brothel - An adult (NSFW), narrative-driven, tactical turn-based RPG inspired by traditional pen-and-paper roleplaying games!

Welcome to the Courtesan's Guild, where the women are beautiful and deadly. Players assume the role of a Facilitator: part administrator, mercenary, and free-agent in the service of the Guild. Lead your own Guild Hall, explore the island city-state of MoonFall, develop relations with other factions, discover secrets, and, if you're so inclined, indulge in what the women of the Guild have to offer...

Jenny by Enia - Full 18+ Version

We were curious what some of our characters looked like in the eyes of some of the other lewd artists around the lewd-o-sphere - so we commissioned a few.

This is Jenny, as per the artistic style of Enia. The idea was to let a completely different artist completely re-imagine one of our characters in their style. And that's what we got. We think she looks pretty cool with those hips! :) 

If you like what you see, you can see more of Enia's art at her Patreon:  2021-10-25 01:32:31 +0000 UTC View Post

Jenny by Enia! (SFW Teaser)

This is Jenny, as per the artistic style of Enia. This is just the SFW spoiler. You can get the 18+ version in the patreon-only post.

Is Romance dead?

So - I (Chase) have a question. Where do you sit on the idea of real romance in Adult Games? We always get varying opinions on how much hard sex to have in the game vs. conversation and real romance. I've tried, in writing the game, to make the characters - male and female - real, relatable, interesting people with hopes, dreams, and issues. 

(Yes. Even Karen!)

But where do you sit on the topic? Are you interested in more or less "romance" in your "smut?" We'd be very curious...

Progress Update #11: Oct 19, 2021

So we're working this week on getting the Jacuzzi up and running. This means, of course, a bunch of girls in the hot-tub. And that's cool. It is also how we kick of some of the sexy new content with Jack/Cath/Gabby. Don't wanna give too much away... but, sexy times happen. 

We're also working on a bunch of new content driving the main story along. I don't want to spoil too much of that, but it's coming along nicely with a couple fun subgames and whatnot. We're pretty sure you'll be...

Games We Love Shoutout: "Divimera" by Redikal

Divimera is an adult visual novel/dating sim game with point-and-click and sandbox gameplay developed by Redikal. It contains strong language, some elements of horror and a lot of NSFW images and animations.

Story:

You are a young man that wrecks on a strange island where paranormal phenomena occur, you need to find the truth and find a way out but there are many mature women that might distract you in your quest.

Will you uncover the island...

Weekly Update... Gabby, Jacuzzis, and pr0n!

We continue to be deep in the process of makin' more pr0n for you fine folks. It's that quiet bit at the early part of the process when everyone is kinda siloed, and working on their own thing while the writer (me) writes the final script, and the coders prep new code and quietly fix/alter things that needed some improvement from the last build. 

As you can see, we have some more Gabby fun building in the next update - it's a very Gabby-heavy update for those of you who are into Ge...

So... What do you think of Jack's Tiki Lounge?

Sometimes we add features with the intention of seeing what people think... If they are into it, we'll expand it more. If they're not... Well... We don't. The Bar was actually a LOT of work for the team - and so far we only have Beer/Wine, and the gameplay is pretty simple. We're curious... What do you think? 

Did you enjoy playing in the bar? 

Were there things you particularly liked? 

Anything you DIDN'T like? 

You want to see us expand the bar......

Preview... CATH + GABBY - It's finally happening!

Yep, we've worked for a while towards this moment... and in the next update, it's finally gonna happen. You're getting that Cath + Gabby threesome you've always dreamed of. There's a lot more of this to see - and I'm not spoiling how it unfolds... but hopefully this gets you a bit... excited for the future.

This is the first of a series of "Patreon only Previews" you'll be getting as part of your membership. We really should be doing more of these so we will.  :) 

Updated Roadmap!

So - we have a new build out, looks good and largely we've fixed the major bugs. So now we're all about the next update. Yay us!

I've updated the roadmap - you can see the broad strokes there. You might notice that there is no October build. This is because we're making sure we have a super cool build with some neat stuff for the Nov. and Dec. builds - which are timed to coincide with some events at Steam. You might also notice that there is no Jan. build. This is because we're returnin...

NEW RELEASE AVAILABLE! Vol 10: The Bar is Open

Woohoo! The next update is up!

The major new content is a bar you can run, serving beer and wine to the girls after guessing what it is they are into. This is a sort of test to see how people like the subgame, and how we might improve it before we (possibly) expand it to include other drinks, etc. Let us know what you think! 

Additionally, there are continued plot lines and new sexy scenes for Raven and Karen based on Raven's new film. The Karen bit is pretty weird, and the R...

Games We Love Shoutout: Innocent Witches - The time has come to look at a familiar story from a new angle!

You are Marcus Redblack, son of Tom Riddle. But, more than your name, what you have done has made the entire wizarding world shudder. You have forever upended and perverted the very concept of magic, and it all began when you were given a chance to take the position of Headmaster of Hogwarts. The question is, just what could have happened that led to such consequences in a school that has existed for centuries? It's time to learn how it all began.

Tread the path from an unknown physicia...

Developer Interview w/Testers Johnny Lee & Spanky Spreadum

This is the last of the patron-exclusive Flexible Media Dev Interviews for a while... And we're finishing with the unsung heroes of game development, the QA team. Honestly, anyone in the game industry knows the #1 rule of game development is "Good testing can't make a bad game good, but bad testing will definitely make a good game suck." The QA Manager on a game team is one of the most critical and least appreciated positions in the industry... And we have a great one in Johnny Lee. He's supp...

Progress Update #10: Sep 14, 2021

So, a quick dev update. We said if we reached our first goal,  we would bring on an intern to help us with the art. Well, we did. His name is Zac Macaque, and he's turning out to be f-ing awesome. All of these images are things he's done since we brought him on (with a bit of assistance from Sven Noods).

You can see a couple images of us preparing content for Jack opening his very own island tiki bar, and for introducing Tori - who will (hopefully) be joining us in the November upd...

2,000+ Followers achieved!

OMG! We hit 2k Twitter Followers! Thank you so much for following us. If you have any suggestions for what you'd like to see more on our twitter - let us know!

Developer Interview w/Writer Chase Brockheart!

We're continuing our patron-exclusive developer series today with... me. Chase Brockheart, writer for Paradise Lust. It's kinda weird interviewing yourself... but whatever. Had to be done. 

Enjoy! And if you want to know more, ask your questions in the comments!

Q: What do you do on Paradise Lust?

Mostly I’m the writer, but I also do a good bit of the design, such as the subgames and main features. Since the game is all based around the story, most of...

First Goal Reached!

Yay! We hit $1,000 monthly subscriptions! So very excited! 

THANK YOU ALL FOR HELPING US GET THIS FAR!

And we said we'd hire a fulltime intern for the project if we hit the goal... and WE DID! Our newest artist is Zac Macaque, a great artist from the Philippines who will be 100% tasked to MAKING MORE PR0N FOR OUR GAME! Yay!

I'd post his first artwork here... but Patreon won't like it - so come on over to our Discord and check out some of our fu...

Developer Interview w/Animators Chastity & Sven Nuuds!

Continuing our patron-exclusive developer series, today we have the Flexible Media Animation team - Chastitty and Sven Noods. They actually arent the only people animating Paradise Lust, we also use some great contract artists, but these fine folks are full time, 100% dedicated staff on Paradise Lust, handling the animations, puppeteering, and other things that bring the game to life. 

Enjoy! And if you want to know more, ask your questions in the comments!

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 ...

Development Roadmap: Vols 10-12

So - the August update was a big one. What's next?

We've updated our roadmap. A couple things ended up being added to August, and that meant a few things slipped to September... and that pushed a couple things from Sep to Oct... and so on. That's how development goes.  You adjust as you go to the situation you have. 

That being said, the next BIG thing getting added is the bar. We have a whole drink making subgame we've quietly been working on in the background for a cou...

NEW RELEASE AVAILABLE! Vol 9: Poolside Playmates

And we're finally done with the August release. It adds a LOT of content, centered on two big questlines: Reyna's Beauty Products and Fixing the Pool.

Reyna's getting entrepreneurial, and Jack gets roped in to do some scientific testing of her products. Marketing 101 is to see the customer using your product, after all, and Jack may have to sacrifice himself to see if any of the girls like Reyna's massage oil.

Maria's also quite upset about the pool; fixing it's going to be a ma...

Progress Update #9: Aug 14, 2021

So - it's been a big week - lots of stuff got done.... 12 days until next update!

The big change this week is it its starting to feel less terrible and horrible keeping up with the monthly updates. Up till now, there was a certain panic about the amount of content we were slamming into the game at any given month. This month, it feels a bit more like we're getting a bit ahead of the schedule, and we can be less... freaked out. 

Most importantly, all of the sex scenes for the ...

We set some goals!

So I spent some quality time over the last few days looking around at other Patreon pages to see what they were doing better than us, and one thing I noticed is that they all seemed to have some goals set. And you know what - we should, too. 

So we have set 2 simple goals for this Patreon:

1) $1000 (which is SOOO close!) - with this we'll have the cash to bring on a junior intern artist to help Sven Nuuds out with his many, many art tasks. This will mean we c...

Development Roadmap: Vols 9/10/11

Not much to say other than that. We added a roadmap to the page, so you have a bit more visibility for what we're doing in upcoming months. Hope it's interesting reading, and gets everyone excited about all the content we'll be building for the rest of the year. 

The intention is that every month, we'll delete the last month and add a new one, and just keep this rolling forward. 

NEW RELEASE AVAILABLE! Vol 8: Olga & Misun

And with the last Thursday of the month comes our regular public release. It's going up on Steam for final testing now, and here's a full set of mirrors for everyone.

So... what's new?

The big addition is getting to know two new girls; Olga and Mi Sun (Jenny's missing right now, we're still finalizing her content for August). You get to hear part of their back-story, spend time flirting with them, and add in selfies from them.

Meanwhile Reyna's got a new business idea sh...
