Hey guys! I'm here to show you my first project, it's called Road to Success.

The game is about a poor girl who lives with her father and brother. The idea is to basically be a sandbox game, where you need to do your daily tasks, like going to school, working, etc. The game follows a theme where the main character is abused by several different people throughout her life, until she becomes corrupted enough that she uses it to her advantage. As time passes, the character will have the chance to grow in life through some paths, such as marrying a rich old man, entering the world of drugs, etc. The game will feature a horny system, where depending on how your father or brother are doing, some special events may happen.
Unfortunately English is not my native language, so some texts may sound a little strange, but I'm trying my best to avoid grammatical errors (at least).

Below is a demonstration of what the game currently looks like

As it is very visible, I invested a little in the visual part, as it is something that most of the Sugarcube games that I played had a very poor interface.
Until then, this is the list of scenes implemented in the game, scenes that are just an image/gif are not included in this list.

Like most of the Sugarcube games, I'm gonna use real porn on it, my goal is to always try to keep women of similar appearance (blonde and young), as this is something that irritates me a lot in games of this genre where you usually see a completely different person in each scene.

Now it's up to you, I need ideas, suggestions, criticisms to continue with the game.​

The basic idea of the game sounds quite familiar, from a purely visual perspective it makes a good impression so far.

Best luck and keep going!

Thank you, I agree with you about the idea of the game being common, but I'm following the idea of making something I'd like to play, and as I'm not very good at writing, sandbox games end up being the best choice for me.

Yes i think making something that u will enjoy yourself is always the best decision.
The main difficulty will be to avoid boredom or disappointment because everything just repeats itself.
I´m not sure if usingreal porn is the best choice at all. Although it is very unlikely that you will be sued over this, it is not completely safe.
Best and cheapest choice would be learning blender or drawing, but that´s quite a steep learning curve.
Daz is more easy to get results, but thats not cheap.

To be honest, I'm thinking about developing a game myself, but i have no experience whatsoever. And my first choice was twine and using real-porn, because it is much more easy to use than daz, blender or drawing.
But I decided to at least take a few courses for Daz, Blender and digital painting and Renpy. Just to see if there is something where i think: I can do that.

Sorry, that's not meant to be a dissuasion, it's just the things that are on my mind when it comes to the topic. Last not least: I like playing theese real porn games.
Let's just pretend I didn't say anything^^

It's certainly one of the biggest challenges of any sandbox game, regardless of the engine.

Daz is more easy to get results, but thats not cheap.
My first attempt at developing a game was with Daz, but visually speaking it's not a model that I like so much, my preference will always be 2D games, or 3D with Unreal, Unity, etc.

If you already have good programming logic you can do something interesting, knowledge of CSS helps tremendously with the game's appearance.

No problem, the idea of the topic is precisely to open my mind to new ideas, suggestions and criticisms before launching the first version of the game, which I've been postponing for a while so as not to repeat the mistake made by several developers of launching a first version with practically no content.
