Hey guys!

After a lot of thinking, and playing other adult games, I started creating my own game.
It is based on Twine/Sugarcube, so it will all be in-browser.

Overview
The game is based around a male protagonist that starts his life in early adulthood, he was never the popular kid in school, and his parents, although very nice to him, never really prepared him for anything based around adulthood. So he needs to build up his own life, have relationships, have income, take care of himself etc.

Currently the game is very very early in development, but I'd still like you guys to check it out and give some feedback. Any feedback is welcome!

If there are any typo's or anything, please let me know as English is not my first language.

The version I release here for testing contains:
- Part of the open world you can explore
- Chance of meeting a girl are random at some occasions
- Some girls you are able to come across
- 4 sex scenes
- 3 Jobs (Pizza delivery and 2 jobs at SXP office)
- Some stats like: Money, Fitness, Hygiene and Influence

I know I need to do something about the file size, I basically cropped scenes from movies and saved them for this game, so I need to do some compressing to get the file size down.

Let me know what you guys think, and what/who you'd like to see in upcoming versions.

This weekend has been pretty productive, atleast for my feeling. I completed some unfinished scenes/events, added a new girl and done some smaller things like making sure there are no dead ends so you have to get back to where you were by using the arrows in the UI.

Changelog:
  • Added a new girl (Bailey)
  • Added new sex scene with Bailey on the beach
  • Finished the sex scene in the brothel with Abella
  • Finished the hookup sex scene with Jennifer on the dating app
  • Completed dead ends, so you can always return to where you came from without undoing/rewinding the game.
  • Added real estate agent (not functional yet)
I also made some screenshots so you can see what the game is like at this moment. Take note that this is all WIP, so things can change a lot, as this is just the start.

Quite a good start, a simple interface and initial content. In general, what else do you need in a porn game?)

Therefore, I wish you good luck with your project;)

Thanks a lot! The interface is gonna change if my plans work out correctly so it should be a bit more fun for the eyes instead of the basic dark colors. I'm also currently trying to get some sort of dialog system working instead of plain text.

Perhaps this is what you are looking for.

This is exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot for your help! :)
Always happy to help.

You should think about the size of the game, because here people are too nervous about this topic.

How do you mean? Do you mean in the way of scope creep, or just setting some expectations to what I am looking to make? Or do you mean the file size?

File sizes.
Yeah I'm working on that, but first I want to have a base/playable start of the game. I was thinking of compressing the video's as much as possible without losing quality, as I'm using 1080p clips for the most part but in-game it displays it on a much lower size, so that should drastically decrease file size.

I'm using 1080p quality

You correctly noticed that the video is not displayed in full size in the game. Therefore, I compress the video quite strongly and due to this trick the quality does not drop much.

That's exactly what I was thinking of doing. Do you have any tips on how to compress the video's? Like software, websites, or whatever.

I use a Russian program: video editing

She knows how to cut video and compress and change video format.

For example, I use this option in my game :)

Although this is still a prototype of a future game, there is still a lot of work to be done, well, for me it’s been a lot of progress over the year of developing the game. :ROFLMAO:

To do all this in 5 days is really progress for me. :LOL:
