Don't worry, I like that you are asking questions. Answering them helps me to organize my thoughts and understand my own desires a little better. Also, I'm here because I want to get to know people and get to be known by people, otherwise there's no need to share. Let's get to know.
VintageBass Wrote:Yeah, I was thinking about like a scene from a MnF game, and I do get that. It just seems like extra work trying to get the scene to work right.
Well, although I think the MnF style is too much interaction, there's a probably a place of balance between those and a still. I've always liked the
JYB "dress-ups" so I might arrange for something like that as the reward instead of an event CG.

I have done some weird ones like a sea slug and mantis shrimp that I like because they are not something you would think could be cute or sexy, but I think it would be difficult to portray them in a video game since it would be tedious to stop the game and yell "This is a chromadoris sea slug!" when few people would be able to visualize this creature anyways, and without such an explanation people would just not know what it is supposed to be. It is foreseeable that some plot line could involve a kind of foreign explorer meeting a bunch of new anthros and filling out a pokedex that tells the player what everyone is and what the original animal is like, but without that, I'd rather stick to the most recognizable choices.
Gotcha. Yeah even with mammals, there tend to be some that don't get quite a lot of attention as some of the more popular creatures. Insects and arthropods especially. I can understand that, and, again, just asking questions. I'm simply a curious boy, that's all~
Well, if you like writing, you may be able to come up with a good way to portray such characters in a story, now that you understand my concerns. I forgot to mention that there are a few arthropods like hymenoptera, mantids, scorpions and lobsters are easily recognizable and easy enough to anthropomorphize that they stand a decent chance of entering the scene if the cast is large enough. But another issue is relative size. If an alligator, coyote and yellow jacket are all in the same universe, should they all be the same size? If not, are the different sizes within the realm of human sizes or would they be like ogres, humans and hobbits in difference or would they be as different as the animals themselves with 10 foot alligators and 1 inch wasps? Can an alligator fuck a wasp? A setting with creatures of different sizes would need to be designed to incorporate them. It's interesting to think about and it might be fun to explore different approaches over the course of several games.

viewtopic.php?f=28&t=6107 I also have a wallaby character that I've been trying to develop for more wholesome pursuits:
http://acethesupervillain.deviantart.co ... -571219646 When I'm doing porn, I just give them big feet, wide hips, long tail and call it macropod, not concerned too much with what the species is. The scientific name for them is actually Macro
pus, which induces giggling.
Speaking of your drawings, especially with the link here, are we going to see some of those sketches inked out and colored? I know you said you want to do some birds and there is a lovely bird that you drawn along with other pretty ladies, so maybe those girls could have a shot in future works?
If I were "really trying" I should do any new graphics from scratch, since I would like to think that the sketches I posted do not represent the maximum quality of my work. However, I would like to do some more short and quick games to get more accustomed to this game engine, and for that purpose, it would be easier to just quickly clean up some sketches, as I have done with puppy love & dildo. As for the bird character specifically, she is supposed to be one of the characters for my non-pornographic toy/cartoon business (hence the lack of visible nipples or snatch) so I would not use that character as she is, but future bird characters would be made from a similar formula.
Actually, I replayed Frank's Adventure 1 & 2 for ideas (with its dirty magazine company and lameboy advance; 2003, u so old now...)(and wiesli was clearly on cocaine to have come up with those minigames) and realized that he mostly uses a face graphic and not a full body portrait as I had been planning to. And similar games, Ana's Quest and Sexy Vacation, use only a map graphic which would be even easier. So for the next iteration of this game engine, I'm going to do my own little Frank's Adventure clone with cleaned up sketches as the reward graphics, without bothering to make any new characters or portrait graphics (so miss shark is likely pushed to game #3 now). The central plotline will be that you are on vacation in a big city and taking pornographic photos for your travel porn blog. So all I need are some subplots for unlocking each reward graphic.
While thinking up subplots, I thought of many that would require you to bring a person from some place to another place. So in addition to a normal adventure game inventory, I will give you an "escort slot" where you can keep a person with you for certain quests.
Also thinking to myself, there probably aren't that many situations into which I could incorporate tentacles, right? well, actually...
Some ideas so far:
Find/get to your hotel room from the airport. Establish wifi so you can upload porn to your blog.
Deliver Pizza/Weed/Weed Pizza.
Deliver a Dildo/Sex Machine/Tentacle Monster. Maybe deliver each to a character who is getting progressively more depraved and needs something stronger each time.
Find a key to unlock a door somewhere.
Discover a secret passage into the back of somewhere, like behind a store counter.
Befriend a tentacle monster so you can take people to it or take it with you in your inventory for other quests.
Wake up a snorlax-type creature that is blocking the path. Snorlax-type creature may have tentacles.
Install a hidden camera somewhere.
Someone at the hotel is bummed that her computer is broken. You know your way around computers, as a travel porn blogger, and fix it for her. She mentions that she's a big fan of your travel porn blog and you offer to do an article on her.
Someone who is a fan of your travel porn blog. She doesn't believe you are the real deal until you have uploaded a few photos and realizes that you are in this city.
Escort a character to another character. i.e: PersonA: "I've lost track of my girlfriend. I think she's somewhere in the *wherever* but I don't want to leave this spot in case she comes back. Can you go find her for me?" PersonB: "I'm so lost, I'll never make it back to my boyfriend on my own, can I follow you for a while?" PersonA: "Wow, thanks for finding her, let's fuck right now!" take a photo.
Escort a character to some kind of trap. i.e: There is a girl with glasses. Give the girl some item that makes the glasses fall off "accidentally". Girl asks you to guide her somewhere safe, guide her to a tentacle monster instead.
Escort a character away from someplace. i.e: two girls at the pool want to strip naked and fuck each other, but the life guard won't let them. Guide the life guard to your tentacle monster. Go back to the girls at the pool and watch them fuck.
Escort a character to fix something. i.e: Hotel guest needs her shower fixed. She has called the hotel plumber, but they haven't arrived. You find the hotel plumber but her toolbox is missing. She thinks she left it at the *wherever* but has looked and can't find it. You take the plumber to the *wherever* and find the tools. You take the plumber and her tools back to the room that needs the shower fixed. It turns out the shower is clogged with tentacles and everyone gets fucked.
Escort multiple people to a single location. For example, there are 4 hot women trapped in the burning building, you have to find each one and escort them to the entrance. Or, we need 4 more people to play naked twister, check the hotel lobby for anyone down to fuck. Or the tentacle monster bro wants to fuck 4 hot women at once, lure them down one by one. Reward is a crazy orgy scene. Since I haven't sketched any crazy orgy scenes, I probably won't use this for this game, but I might for the finale of later games.
