Hi everyone, I've teamed up with Unreal engine programmer huliolopez to make a sexy management style game, something like "The Sims" crossed with the old playstation game "Constructor" type balance. Obviously scaled down versions of these with very different storylines and mechanics but I'm trying to find the best examples of games I enjoyed and what kind of balance we're going for, I'm sure there's better examples I could be using but I haven't seen this style of game in the porn game world yet (maybe one exists that I can't find?), NLT's "ToN" might come close except this will be focused more on the ladies themselves, managing their likes, dislikes, moods and also keeping horny competitors at bay.

I've attached a few concept images and animations, we're going for the top down isometric view which is usually used for these kind of management style games.
All characters and animation in the attached concepts are rendered in Eevee and I haven't spent any time on optimizing so I'd like to think I can get the same quality realtime in UE4 or UE5 when it arrives just in case making the game top down 3D is also a viable option instead of isometric with sprites.

Long story short: You're a "lodger" in a Bed n'Breakfast run by the "landlady" and "Landlord" and there's 2 other "Flatmates" floating around (you get the drift). Times are tough, business isn't doing too well and the Landlord has fucked up and got the business into some major debt. This is your chance to show who the real man of the house is. Desperate times call for desperate measures so you strike an alliance with the mechanic next door. He'll give you the tools required to make passing cars have an "accident" so he can get the business from fixing up the car while the driver or "tourist" stays at the Bn'B until their car is fixed. The longer they stay, the more money they bring to the business which gets you closer to the Landlady and Flatmates over time. You also have to keep the tourists happy and make them stay as long as possible (more money remember) but of course you're going to need to buy as much time as possible to try get closer to them and see how far you can push their kinks. Remember, they're stuck in the middle of nowhere, nothing to do, bored and its game logic so they're automatically going to lean toward filling that boredom with the dopamine rush of sexy time lol. Obviously there'll be problems to overcome, people in your way and all that kind of thing. There'll be a story for each character along with the main story but I want the gameplay to be a main focus so its actually a game and not a VN.

More test animations, renders and progress reporting to come!

Idea seems good, there's not a lot of pron games that focus on gameplay.

I have a few questions and remarks if you don't mind :
- Why do you make the game in unreal and renders elsewhere, wouldn't it be better for immersion to render realtime from UE ? (instead of Last Hope style that would force you to move to a fps mode, check the game "The Twist" for another option) don't forget that some of the best games (pron or others) are not the ones with best graphics renders. It's all about immersion.

- Will the npcs have their own life routine ?

- Is it possible to zoom in and out or the models are low poly ? If it's the case, it would be possible to zoom in a room and transfer the low poly models to high and make the other rooms disappear to lower the specs.

- I would dump the idea of a guy with a horse dick if I were you (it breaks immersion unless you have one XD).

- On your screenshots you show the talking parts like on classic VN, it could be interesting to explore many of the other options. Maybe using speech bubbles from the rt models, or fallout 1 system with animated portraits, etc...

- Maybe add the option to lower the walls height.

Good luck.

Will the game be available for Android?
Given there's been no updates to thins thread from the dev for 25 months, and the OP has not logged in to F95 since Nov 2021, I'd say this game is probably abandoned. Pity, the screenshots look great.
