*Hell Bent* RPG/Prostitution/Fantasy (RPG Maker MV)

[clickclickBOOM21]

Hello, I have a new idea for a game and I would love some feedback on it.

STORY
A young man witnesses his sister being slain before his very eyes. Injured from the attack that was set on the two; the young man falls unconscious with a giant slash across his back. He awakes days later to find out that a mysterious young women saved him from death. Little did he know that the young women was connected to him in cruel ways. Upon awaken he also learns the devastating fact that his parents were also struck down the same night. To make matters worse, the person that struck down the family was none other then the sisters dearest friend who he also looked at as another sister. Heart-broken, betrayed, mind shattered; the young man comes to the conclusion the only way he can cling to sanity is if he became HELL BENT on revenge. While training and doing a casual trip to the nearest town to get supplies, he notices a man wearing a familiar bracelet on his right hand. The young man attacks him in the hopes of getting answers, but he is immediately knocked out cold by his mentor. Upon awaking hours later, the young man in a fit of rage returns to where that man once was but finds that he has left. After getting answers the man sets out on his long journey to find his old family friend. Through his journey he meets interesting people both human and non-human, who join him on his quest for their own personal reasons. Before his journey comes to an end, jaw dropping truths will come to light; the most devastating one being the simple, pathetic reason for why his family was killed. Or where they?

The young man is not above using sleazy, and down right deplorable acts to find hints to the whereabouts of the people in question. He will gladly have both him and his companions use not only their skill in combat, but their sexual skills to get answers for what he needs.

If you previously viewed this post and now think its different, its because it is. I edited it to make it more accurate to the story I have for it so far.

GAME PLAY
[*] Basic RPG settings, with unique features
[*] Low amount of gold will be found/obtained. To counter this, many of the shops/stalls will except "Other" types of payment. Depending on the acts performed, they will determine the price of each item/equipment.
[*] A "Lust" gauge will be giving to each character, and depending on how high it gets will determine the type of act that can be performed for the discounts.
[*]Plenty of side-quests to go along with the main story, many of which will also need certain amount of "Lust" required to complete.
[*]There will be about 5-6 playable characters throughout the game.
[*]Purchasing a run down brothel and building it up will be the way to slightly raise the lust of each character(main protagonist included).

Do to the scale of this project, I would love some criticism (hopefully constructive) before I sink major time into it.
After a certain amount of feedback, I plan on constructing the first chapter and reaching out for people for the art and code, 'cause I seriously suck at those.

Well that's the idea, would love to hear what you think.



I plan on having a demo (about half hour to an hour long) up soon. The demo will cover a little over half of the first chapter and will give a glimpse of what the game play is and of the story.

Given the elaborateness and mind-screw-ness of the plot, I'd strongly recommend making a detailed point-by-point summary before starting on the gameplay.

As far as motivation, I'm a little skeptical (but it could be fine) that the protagonist's motivations won't meaningfully change in those ten years of training.

Usually when I have a new idea, I just jump right in with the maps and NPC's then do the story, 'cause it makes it slightly easier for when I should have certain events happen.
But as you said, do to the scale of the project I plan on doing the first chapters story before diving in to the technical aspect of the game.

I understand where your coming from, but I plan on having him isolated in the mountains for his training with the only human interaction being with his master(the young women that saved him) and the occasional trip to town for supplies.
So with little to no distractions, the only thing being on his mind would be his revenge.

Initial comments:

"While training and doing a casual trip to the nearest town to get supplies, he notices a man wearing a familiar bracelet on his right hand. The young man attacks him in the hopes of getting answers, but he is immediately knocked out cold by his mentor. Upon awaking hours later, the young man in a fit of rage returns to where that man once was but finds that he has left."
What is this bit of the story for? Is there an element here I'm missing? Otherwise, I'd say cut this bit out... doesn't seem necessary for the setting and motivation, and you want to keep your initial story uncluttered. Also, what mentor?

Female main protagonist? Please? Pretty please?? *flutters eyelashes*

Is there going to be combat? Erotic combat solutions? Non-con content?

How does one raise/spend the lust gauge? Is there going to be a countering 'dignity' stat or something that has to be lowered?

What's the setting? Scifi/Fantasy?

Now that I've actually started the story content of the game, there are parts that have changed to make the story flow easier with the game play I stated earlier.
When I post the actual demo, I will re-write the synopsis of the story.

There will be around 4-5 female protagonist, with one of them being more the main protagonist then the others.

Yes combat
There will be erotic moves in combat, and they will slightly raise the lust stat while also doing HP damage.
Would I be correct in assuming that Non-con content means "Rape?" If so then yes, which would happen during combat.

The lust is a stat not a gauge, so there is no lowering it.
One would purchase the run down brothel (as stated in the original post) to level up their lust to a certain degree so the players don''t just sit there and raise their lust to the max in the first hour of the game.
The other ways to raise the lust would be the side quests; some that can only be completed by a certain member of the party.
(I.E one of the quest givers wants a blue haired cat girl to do certain sexual acts with him for either gold or items. However she would need a stat of at least 15 lust to do the quest.)

There will be no dignity stat to counter the lust. Just the lust stat has to be a certain amount to do certain quests or sexual acts.

I re-posted the original post with the settings, but I don't know if you can see them.
But the settings are Fantasy, RPG, and Adventure.

And I thank you for your feedback.

Thanks for the response!

That all makes sense, and sounds great! I look forward to it.

As a random thought though... maybe add in something like 'arousal' as a sort of mana-like element. Make that the thing that is affected by erotic combat moves, rather than HP (Like in CoC and TiTS) and also require a value in arousal to perform erotic actions (which then consumes or adds to it). It makes for a more dynamic interaction, and also gives a reason for adding in a lot of lusty items.

I'm glad your looking forward to it.

So instead of magic attacks, make small erotic attacks instead? That's a good idea.
Plus instead of using the actual level for when you learn the erotic attacks, I can make the Lust level determine when you learn them.

Once again thank you for your feedback.
