The backstory is that you are a magical girl, stolen from Earth and brainwashed by demons in a realm called 'World's End.' Their goal is to send you back to Earth to capture the other magical girls and make them permanent slaves of the demons.
Written in second person, you will be attempting to escape this extra-dimensional world without being transformed into a strange new creature. You probably won't be able to avoid being bred by the inhabitants, or changed in strange ways - but will you end up leaving a servant of the demons, or your own person? You decide!
Pretty much anything is going to go in this world. You start out a woman, but can choose to become a futa, if you wish (or, depending on the bad end, if you don't wish). Since there's going to be lots of humanoid critters in this place, there's inevitably going to be furry type sex, though it should be obvious and avoidable depending upon what you choose to do. This is pretty much carte blanche for my strange and bizarre imagination to run wild without any restrictions.
There will definitely be lots of latex and milking, of course, as well as all kinds of bizarre and unfortunate transformations.
I do plan on posting this on tfgames when I have enough content, but that will be quite some time, I'm afraid. I need to have enough that I don't feel like it's too incomplete to post. Ideally it would have a nice vertical slice with good bones I can add flesh onto.
That said, let's talk about the battle system.
Your goal is to beat the enemy by one of three methods - draining their HP to 0, raising their arousal to 100, or dropping their willpower to 0. The type of attack you choose determines which stat you are targeting. In the image below, it's just your bare hands, which do HP damage.
Each attack costs a certain amount of stamina to perform, which limits how often you can use your attacks, and the amount of damage you do is determined by the attack.
At the same time you are attacking, the enemy is also attacking you.
The status box tells you which body parts the enemy is attacking. They can be attacking up to three different body parts with a ~33% chance to hit each part, but it's random which body parts are selected. The same body part can be selected multiple times, which means there is a possibility that the enemy will select the same body part three times, giving them a 100% chance to attack that body part!
This can be useful, as every round you are given the opportunity to block an attack on one body part.
When the enemy hits a body part, it becomes bound. If enough body parts are bound by the enemy, you lose, so it's in your best interest to block as many attacks as possible.
As the battle goes on, there are fewer free body parts, and therefore less body parts for the enemy to choose. This makes it easier to block attacks, which is useful when you're trying to remove the last 10 HP from that stubborn demon!
I have plenty of bad end ideas. So far, I've written only about ~11 of them, but there will be plenty more to come.
Here's a sample of some of the things I'm currently thinking of. These are just some of the ones I haven't written yet... there's plenty of others that I'm not showing. :)
I don't have a time frame for release. It's pretty much going to be a 'when it's ready' situation. Rough guess is at least a few more months before I have anything of consequence. I'll try to periodically update here when I find the motivation.
In the meantime, I have a bad end involving very long tongues to write.
I hope you all have an excellent fourth!
Tech control, latex, parasites, erotic body horror! Oh Shim, you know just how the please me!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, well, I have a TODO list longer than my arm of things that need to be addressed. I need to do a styling overhaul on the story and put in a proper status bar on the left side for the character. I also need a proper inventory system etc. etc. The list goes on.
DeleteCouple this with my variable health, and I never really know when I'll have the enthusiasm to work on it. It's large enough now that I won't abandon the project, but it is going to take a significant amount of time before it's even worth releasing!
The ideas do keep coming. I want the ability for the player character to be captured and held in a dungeon or on a farm, experiencing slow bodily transformations until you hit a bad end, or figure out how to escape. I especially like the idea of a farm where you're slowly turned into a cow, but any milk produced by the farm will be in direct competition with the Cathedral of Domaya. Market forces will be difficult, I'm sure!
The other idea is that you can be transformed in some way that allows you to spread your transformation to the other citizens in town, forcing them to obey your new master or mistress, as the case may be. I'm not quite sure how that will play out just yet, but there's lots of fun possibilities!
Those both sound like awesome ideas! I like the idea of a more corruption management game, like Overseer, but with an emphasis on the player's specific character like COC, I think this sounding just fantastic! There's no way I can tip you, is there? I just love the idea so much I want to throw money at it!
DeleteHmm, it wasn't exactly going to play like that, but I really like the idea.
DeleteI've always thought it would be fun to have the player exclaim at how much content there is, then have them find out there's another level to it all underneath what they thought actually exists. What if the player can make the choice to throw away their original goal of escaping World's End and instead choose to take over the system? They'll need a lot of slaves to do that, and there would be plenty of opportunities for transformations and bad ends to happen to the player character while they're trying to expand their business.
Ah, but I'm getting ahead of myself. I'm just one person, tinkering on this story. We'll see just how much I can get done.
If you really want to tip me, simply consider buying a copy of my novels: 'Drone Envy,' 'Drone Shuffle,' and 'Drone Circus,' now available on Amazon Kindle and Smashwords. If you already own a copy, why not send me a review? Nobody has sent me any feedback on those novels so far.
