parmpreet001 Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 First, allow me to explain just what type of game this is. For those of you who are familiar with the Shin Megami Tensei series, think of it as that, but instead of demons, you recruit monster girls. If you are not familiar with the SMT series, think of it as Pokemon, but instead of "catching" you have to convince the opposing side to join your side, usually by answering questions or giving them items, money, etc.In this game world, humans sometimes form "contracts" with Monster Girls. The Monsters agree to fight with and aid the human, and in turn, the human must provide them with sex, since that is how Monster Girls obtain their energy. So yea, that's the excuse im going to use to insert H-Scenes into the game :/The story is about a prince whose father is a total dickhead. The King's greed and lust for power has resulted in a coup(seize of power). After that, the prince has to start a new life and find a way to sustain himself. At this point, the game becomes somewhat non linear and the player can do whatever they want,(as long as it is in their ability).The story is not final, I'm still debating on a lot of things. Hell, I'm not even sure how much story I want to put into this game, but this is what I have so far. H-Scenes will initially be limited, but eventually the player will have more control over which scenes to trigger, and when to trigger them.Problem is, I just don't feel like writing the hentai scenes, there's simply to much that I wanna do with the game to be bothered with such things. This is why im asking for help. The game is still in it's early stage, and I would like to focus on other things and leave the H-Scenes to someone else.  The main character is a mute, aside from a few dialogue options, so he is not allowed to talk in any of the scenes. If you wish, you may chose to write branching paths in which the player is given multiple dialogue options, it is all up to you.  This project is just something im doing in my own free time. I have no idea how big this game is going to be, of if I'll even be able to finish it for that matter. This game is more or less, something that im doing for myself. I plan on sharing it and hope to obtain some constructive criticism, so I can improve my game making skills.  If anyone is interested, send me a PM. If you have any questions, just post it down here.
Torchersphix Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 Hey, not to be a buzz kill, but just so that you are aware, I'm pretty sure there are at minimum two other h-games similar to this.  1) Demon Master Chris - http://www.dlsite.com/ecchi-eng/work/=/product_id/RE116580.html 2) Sakura dungeon - https://www.lewdgamer.com/2016/06/01/review-sakura-dungeon/  The only reason I'm commenting is you made a comment about Pokemon, and this was a description right out of a review for Sakura Dungeon:  " Essentially, rather than doing so merely through plot progression, you collect party members through a sort of monster girl Pokémon."  Best of luck, just wanted to make sure you knew!Â
Guest MonsterFish Posted June 15, 2016 Posted June 15, 2016 So uh, a couple of questions a problems. I am a "writer" if you want to call me that, and by that I mean I know how to write lore after doing so for some 8 years and linking them with pixel art sprites, but I have no interest in joining, especially as an erotic writer which I don't do. Â First of all, the premise is to 'recruit monstergirls', right. But... to do what exactly? If you're not fighting anyone, what exactly are they doing? I assume giving you a handie or something. Who are they fighting? Â If your father is a dickhead, and you are recruiting these monstergirls in order to have sex with them, are you not also the dickhead? Â What is the scope of your project? Â Do you have people working with you right now? What are they doing? Â Do you have artists? Are you doing that too? What artistic style are they/you using? Is it a purely Text-based game? Â What are your qualifications?
parmpreet001 Posted June 16, 2016 Author Posted June 16, 2016 First of all, the premise is to 'recruit monstergirls', right. But... to do what exactly? If you're not fighting anyone, what exactly are they doing? I assume giving you a handie or something. Who are they fighting?  I'm still thinking as to what the reason is for the protagonist to recruit monsters. Initially, the protagonist will have to survive by himself, doing quests in order to gain gold to sustain himself. He will recruit monsters in order to form a small fighting force that is capable of traversing to dangerous lands and carrying out specific tasks. I feel as if doing quests for a majority of the game might be a little dull. So I figured that occasionally, the player will receive a quest that advances the story.  The end goal being to take back your kingdom, which will fall victim to an invasion from a neighboring kingdom later on in the story. The spine of the story is still under construction  If your father is a dickhead, and you are recruiting these monstergirls in order to have sex with them, are you not also the dickhead?  No, it's sort a mutual relationship. The lore is that Monster Girls crave sex and will often attack other humans in order to obtain nourishment for themselves. The gameplay will involve talking to Monster Girls mid battle and trying to get them to form "contracts" with you. A contract is an agreement between human and monster. The monster will join your side, and in turn, you will have to provide them with sex.  What is the scope of your project? Initially, I was planning to have a total of 40 monster girls to recruit, but i shortly realized that such a scope was way to big for one person. I plan on lowering the count to 15-20. I hope to have at least 1 sex scene for each monster, although two is preferable. One oral, and the other vaginal. A total of 5 'dangerous' places to traverse to, each with 3-4 different monsters that can not be found anywhere else in the game.  Do you have people working with you right now? What are they doing?  Nope...just me.   Do you have artists? Are you doing that too? What artistic style are they/you using? Is it a purely Text-based game? No artists. Like I said, it is an RPG Maker game...so it's going to be an RPG. I'll be using default assets along with whatever I can find on the internet that suits my needs. As for the designs of the monster girls, i found something nice on the internet called the Monster Girl Encyclopedia . I'll just be ripping the pictures of monster girls from here. The sex scenes will be purely text based.    What are your qualifications? None...this is my first game, so I have no actual experience. My goal is to make something to the best of my abilities, and then sharing it so i can receive feedback on how to improve my game making skills.   Honestly, maybe i should lower the scope even further, if I find myself asking others for help on the internet, then perhaps my ideas are too big.

Although those two games look more like VNs/Dungeon Crawlers hybrids than traditional RPGs. Another difference is that these games are likely made by people who actually know what they're doing...lol
Guest MonsterFish Posted June 16, 2016 Posted June 16, 2016   What is the scope of your project?

A total of 5 'dangerous' places to traverse to, each with 3-4 different monsters that can not be found anywhere else in the game.  By scope I mean what assets do you expect to have at the end of the project? In terms of art, world construction, sounds. Basically, in an ideal world what would you expect?  You know what, since this is just one of your side projects to up your skills, it doesn't particularly matter.     Do you have artists? Are you doing that too? What artistic style are they/you using? Is it a purely Text-based game? No artists. Like I said, it is an RPG Maker game...so it's going to be an RPG. I'll be using default assets along with whatever I can find on the internet that suits my needs. As for the designs of the monster girls, i found something nice on the internet called the Monster Girl Encyclopedia . I'll just be ripping the pictures of monster girls from here. The sex scenes will be purely text based.  Okay, if you're going to share this then this would be illegal. Not only this, but artists like myself find this is extremely annoying. If someone were to use my assets... well, I wouldn't actually care, I'm not getting paid for it to begin with. But the point is that people are. I'd say you're okay to do this since you're again just doing it to see how good you can get on RPG maker, but as soon as you share it then it becomes a problem.  It's perfectly fine to use placeholder images, it's a practice a lot of game developers do when the game isn't quite ready or the textures aren't quite done. But when the game is released those placeholders are out the window.    What are your qualifications? None...this is my first game, so I have no actual experience. My goal is to make something to the best of my abilities, and then sharing it so i can receive feedback on how to improve my game making skills.   So no skills in things like programming or boolean logic or anything?  You know what, I'm being a little too harsh on a person that is only trying to improve their skills. I'm saying all this because I myself was once part of a "game development" team with my friends a few years ago that fell to pieces thanks to poor design choices and miscommunications. Â
Toramizu Posted June 18, 2016 Posted June 18, 2016 I am a writer and programmer, and as MonsterFish, I don't really want to join (as I am busy enough with my onw life ^^), but don't you think that it is a little early to ask for a writer? You are only starting to create the game, you can begin by creating the base of your gameplay, then show it and ask if someone'd want to help you. For now, we don't know anything about you or your skills, show us what you do and you'll have an easier time getting a wirter to join you
parmpreet001 Posted June 24, 2016 Author Posted June 24, 2016 Update: I've decided to just take matters in my own hand. The project has been scrapped and I'm starting a new project that is on a much smaller scale, something that I think I can finish in a timely matter given my schedule. The scope that I had originally set was far to big for what was going to be my first game, so hopefully I can manage to actual ly finish this one.
Firestarter355 Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 The concept is there but what you were doing sounds super familiar to the anime "sekurai" where you catch and tame women in order to fight them like Pokemon, as long as you dont plan on selling the game for profit id recommend watching the series and maybe even base a game around that, i really enjoyed the show and would actualy play a game based on the series. not a exact copy mind you, but something original but im a writer have been for 6 years now when it comes to games and their plotlines, settings, ect, ect. not all erotic tho but id be interested on working something up for you if your still interested.
