I think they should contact oni first if they could work together
It seems that you aren't familiar with Oni's modus operandi(or lack thereof).

But to answer your other doubts, b) already specifically answers it:

b) fully break free from Oni's shadow in favor of a new vision for what the game should look like this means a couple things. first, instead of a mod for Rogue-Like, I will be shifting the systems and mechanics I've developed towards the making of an entirely new Ren'Py game with some commonalities and many features distinguishing it from the original game to make this a clean break, it makes the most sense to no longer use Oni's base art.
and also
this is not a commercial project Patreon is simply a mechanism for us to collect donations that we can inject back into the development process to speed things along. donations to the Patreon will be infused right back into the game via commissioning more art, writing, and code. the income will be kept public, and I will not personally pocket a cent - if for some reason, the Patreon does well, that just means we will be commissioning a lot of art and writing. to make it crystal clear that this is not a paywall, the game will not be hosted on the Patreon if this arrangement ever changes, then it will be announced very publicly and well in-advance just to reiterate, if you do not wish to donate, there is absolutely no requirement to do so. if you do wish to donate, your contribution will directly accelerate the rate of art and writing production.
Although i will keep my expectations in check and see where this goes first. Ron Chon, don't be another Oni or i will eat you owo

I'm curious how this will turn out I'm really hoping for mystic (it would bring a lot of new possibilities into the game) psylocke would be nice too. I would also like a further development for dancing and striping. A side view and a rear view of the normal posing for dancing would be nice instead of just the up and down so that it looks as if she is turning, of course a little breast wiggling should not be missing. more clothes and maybe missions and a combat system, destructible clothes in missions would be nice. to be honest right now the long term mutivation leaves a lot to be desired after the status bars are full it gets kind of boring and you start over.
According to the devs adding more poses are in the plans like laying in bed with the girls. So anything is possible I guess, let's hope they can do lots of different poses.

I don't want to paint the devil on the wall. I smell trouble there, so far it was more or less a free mod, but now they are trying to make money through oni's preparatory work. I think they should contact oni first if they could work together or something similar. there are still copyrights. money changes everything. in the worst case, lawyers will have to be paid in the end.
There's always someone hungrier. They can only afford to do this because a.- it's a porn "parody" that the Mouse doesn't want to touch with a ten foot stick and b.- Oni in particular has burned so much goodwill and sat on his ass for basically 4+ years.

Is it a bug that all are covered except the storm?
Storm is supposed to have low hangups about nudity so...

I honestly don't get it.
Doubt the Patreon is a new thing, and now they are specifically going to use non-Oni art.
Do you mean because it started as a mod of RLE and now it is going its separate way?

1. Woooo Chonky-train hasn't left station yet, but they've clearly built a good engine... I think?
2. How does one get raped by Laura? Can the others do that? Zero has always been the predator as far as mechanics and events went.

hey all, as promised, I have big news re: the future of Chonky Mod I've become 1) increasingly tired of being limited by Oni's art, animations, and ideas and 2) more and more eager to accelerate progress towards making this a playable game/mod that meets my lofty expectations. so, I've decided to bite the bullet and a) hire some people to help me out and b) fully break free from Oni's shadow in favor of a new vision for what the game should look like this means a couple things. first, instead of a mod for Rogue-Like, I will be shifting the systems and mechanics I've developed towards the making of an entirely new Ren'Py game with some commonalities and many features distinguishing it from the original game to make this a clean break, it makes the most sense to no longer use Oni's base art. I expect that this will be disappointing to any artists who have been working on outfits for the base art with the hopes of it being included in Chonky Mod, but I truly believe that having our own art source from now on will give us miles more creative freedom in the long term so far, I've arranged standing commissions with two new artists who have started to chip away at setting up the main characters and outfit sets. I've found another writer to help with the story and scenes, since we're going to have to start fresh there as well. finally, I have at least one new programmer who will be helping me with core game functionality, with another one who I'm assessing to see if they can help with animations this document goes into some further details about the project:

accompanying this news, I'm announcing the start of a Patreon page where anyone else is welcome to help contribute to the development of this project. being a patron is not, and will not ever be, required to play the game. current builds will be made publicly available, just as they were for Chonky Mod, forever. this is not a commercial project Patreon is simply a mechanism for us to collect donations that we can inject back into the development process to speed things along. donations to the Patreon will be infused right back into the game via commissioning more art, writing, and code. the income will be kept public, and I will not personally pocket a cent - if for some reason, the Patreon does well, that just means we will be commissioning a lot of art and writing. to make it crystal clear that this is not a paywall, the game will not be hosted on the Patreon if this arrangement ever changes, then it will be announced very publicly and well in-advance just to reiterate, if you do not wish to donate, there is absolutely no requirement to do so. if you do wish to donate, your contribution will directly accelerate the rate of art and writing production. here is the link:

I'd like to clarify that I won't be abandoning getting Psylocke set up for Oni style, though I will likely wind up making another version of her as well and I will continue making UI and other assets

Just means she might not get as many outfits from me but she will be workable for others to make stuff for


Ron ChonToday
@ ...... and @ ...... I hear your mixed feelings here, and I think I can partially allay them! since the game mechanics that will serve as the basis for the new game are the same that have gone into the Chonky Mod, it's actually... not that hard to mix and match characters designed by different people. therefore, you can expect us to release an optional "DLC" package containing Oni's art. the idea being that you can download a zip file containing Oni's art and the code required to support it, drop it into the new game's directory, and in-game toggle that you would like to use, say, Oni's Jubilee instead of our new Jubilee
Any chance we can see the works of the artists on retainer? Definitely has my interest piqued!

Can't rape the willing.
Our brother was robbed of his wizard mana.

According to the guy that did that run, he avoided any innapropiate touch or flirting with any on them, eventually laura will just get horny and drag you off somewhere since youre the only dick in town.

Nah once Laura likes you enough, she just goes we're fucking and you can even do it in a public space lmao. She'll run off, accept it or Xavier will break it up. Laura straight up forces you to shoe horn her tho lmao, in any playthrough i've done just mildly being nice to her she rushes for me hard. Fondling her body enough times will get her into the "hey man I want sex, I WANT IT NOW" scenario.

Hey guys I need to use this game for mobile version. Is there any software that can be running on Android phone?
Joiplay. You can find it in the Google play store, or the joiplay website, or wherever. You'll need the ren'py plugin, and a copy of the game for windows. You might have to change the Joiplay settings for it to work, but I haven't had that problem with this update. It loads really slowly sometimes, so you should be prepared to wait a minute or two when you start the game. After it gets going things work pretty well though.

Hey there!

I've been mostly active on the Discord for Rogue-Like modding, but decided to take a peek in here. Seems like it was a good idea, since I can share some of the info that I've been sharing through discussions over there.

Any chance we can see the works of the artists on retainer? Definitely has my interest piqued!
I'll start with this one! This is a really, really reasonable request. I'm going to hold off for now for two reasons:

1) The art style is in flux as I go back and forth with the artist about what works with some of the existing art we want to keep (ie. the new backgrounds, which I absolutely love). The artist has a portfolio that's spread across things like realistic DnD portraits, semi-realistic renditions of famous movie scenes, and even tattoos (that kick ass btw). I don't want people assuming the art for the game will look like something that it won't.

2) I want to afford the artist a degree of separation, and therefore protection, from the general public. If there is ever a situation where y'all don't like a character design, I want to be able to tell him directly - I don't want him to start receiving random messages telling him he sucks. The same goes for our principal writer for now.

Fortunately, you won't have to wait for long. The main character artist is chunking away at the first design, and his first drafts are *chef's kiss* in my opinion. Once the body is more or less settled upon, I will pass the art onto the main outfit designer, who already has schemes to bring the best of that character's outfits to fruition. I'm very optimistic I'll have some samples for interested parties by next week. People looking for those updates should head over to the Discord, as I don't plan on releasing many dev updates in such a public forum until we've solidly hit the ground running and I can start demonstrating results.

The beautiful thing about commissioning our own art is that it means I can feel no guilt in telling the artist to start over or looking for a new artist who better fits the game's vision, *if* it were to ever come to that.

This is another concern that I completely understand, but I think can be set aside.

1. We are not trying to make money on this project. The game will be released for free, forever. I (Ron Chon) have hired artists, programmers, and writers to help me - this is out of my own pocket. I chose to do this because I really, really, really believe in the project, and I've come to the conclusion that monetary incentives are the best way to get results.

I have set up the Patreon for one reason: I do not have unlimited money, and so I can only commission art/writing/code at a finite rate. It may be enough for updates every month or so - but not eg. every week, which is my goal. Therefore, anyone who wishes to donate is welcome to do so, and those donations will go directly into - you guessed it - more art/writing/code.

With this setup, the only people profiting are the artists, who damn well deserve it; the writers, who deserve it just as much for breathing life into this horny world we're creating; and *the other* programmers (NOT ME), without whom we'd be stuck looking at static pictures like cavemen.

2. We are not using Oni's art. Full stop. Every image from the base game has been purged from our game.

What I said (or was trying to say) in the quotation above was that it will be easy to "drop in" custom art into the game. Indeed, I have no control over the custom art you choose to use. It may be your own stick figures, it may be art from a popular Ren'Py trainer game. The goal is for the game to be designed agnostic of the art and even its particular implementation on the code side - at the end of the day, the game will say "show Rogue_sprite blowjob", and whatever that image is, it will display.

*Since* this project started as a mod for a popular Ren'Py trainer game, and *since* many of the project's mechanics were designed with the art for that original game in mind, I think you will find that it is quite easy to find both the code and the art to facilitate this end-user modification to our game.

Does that clear things up?

I'll miss Oni's Laura design. For a minute. Ain't it great when you can mod things with a drag and drop?

Is there a specific run/iteration you're focusing on for inspiration on the character design?
