Triple X Tycoon - Vintage Adult Strategy

[Enjoy]

JOY-TOILET PRESENTS

 

 

Originally we had sought to make a rigid turn-based business simulator that focused on the adult industry.  We were going to include everything you'd expect from any other tycoon game but with the ability to be bought out (and continue playing as an employee), IPO, sell-out and start again.  We were going to have procedurally generated performers and personalities with custom product development complete with video formats from VHS to VR and beyond.

 

But then we added goblins, clowns, guns, LSD-laced soda, aliens, meteors...mutated cats.  And damn was that more fun.  We went real-time, we let the player get some fresh air, we added a city, more areas, more interaction.  So far the result is that things don't exactly look as they seem on the surface. Welcome to...

 

 

Although for example, Pleasant Park is home not to a memorial but a monolith that the city was, in fact, built around. And it gleams ominously with light and stars on clear nights. Though no good mystery goes spoiled so soon.

 

 

If you want it go get it.  If you fail, the streets will catch you. Begin again.  There is no such thing as losing or winning as it is your choice whether or not a career in voyeur clown porn is right for you.  Or if you'd prefer the limelight lit with dazzling, smiling studs and starlets.

 

 

 

Steer your company through the eras. Sabotage your competitors! But watch your own back. Be smart and you'll have talent knocking down your door for a chance in the spotlight you created. Only the best adapt in this industry. From motel to studios and mansions. From VHS to VR, how far will you go?

So... This is a steam-only game, then?

So... This is a steam-only game, then?

 

We plan to sell direct as well.  GOG flat out said no, we can go on and on about the doors slammed in our faces.  But we'd prefer people told us what they wanted and we'll try our best to do it.  There's also talk of a MiKandi release for Android.

Can steam sell adult game?

[XJ347]

Is this a free game? How about this, Is this a paid game but the development versions you can try without money? I say this because...
 
Rule 12

 

We are a free and open community; members requiring payment for mods, support, or putting anything behind a paywall will be removed without warning. Donation buttons/links to support an author is fine, so long as nothing is promised, given, or rewarded other than a sense of satisfaction for supporting an author or owner of content.

 

 

Patreon users get a free pass as long as they eventually give out a free version. As is, this looks like advertising for an upcoming game. Feel free to show me where I am mistaken, =) I would love to try a beta version.

 

Edit: I found that you have an Alpha version. I think that qualifies.

 

Anyways here is my thoughts on playing.

 

 

• Initial Harvey text has some really bad grammar issues. Sloppy writing? Or you implying Harvey missed some English classes?
• Can't capitalize names? That needs to be changed.
• Allow longer names.
• Allow punctuation for names
• Make it easier to select an amount of money to hire stars, this click + thing over and over is no good.
• Only solo and parners? No group? Assuming that's an alpha thing that will be added later.
• That isn't exactly what Gonzo means in Pornography. Gonzo pornography is a style of pornography that attempts to place the viewer directly into the scene. Also the feature you described also feels poorly described as well. There can be gonzo style prono that has acting in it... 
• LOL when selecting Gonzo, it wasn't a gonzo style movie, actually it was the exact opposite.
• Interface to select actors in the prono is awkward. I only wanted 2 and i had to select 3? ohhh you have to press x or backspace but no on screen button. Not very intuitive.
• Super short but it is an alpha.
• I liked how you can direct the porn scene and change positions, even if it's only 2 positions atm.
• Directing the scene went super quick, don't want to get bored being to long, but also don't want to make in irrelevant being so short.
• clicking on Shabaz to early seems to bug out the alphas ending.

Very rough start. It's an alpha, i get it so I'm not upset. This is par for the course as a beginning framework.

 

Suggestion

• Turn the porn scene into a mini game if the player wants direct it. So changing positions effects the movie, and thus effect the income it generates. Reward people for directing their movie, but give them an option to have it auto directed if people want to be lazy.

Thanks for the feedback! This is the kind of thing that lets us make the changes that need to be made.  So to address your concerns individually:

 

 

 

 

• Yeah that's Hurvey, It's a tone really.  Our real concern there is in the actual text viewing.  For consistency we wanted to keep a unified color.  But as you know the text reads much better indoors than it reads outdoors.  The white outline was a temporary fix at best.  The intro sequence may be modified later in the game for something even more interactive.

   

• Temporarily disabled.  It was available in older versions but really threw things off.  Our text handling is pretty much bare metal programming.  So it came down to caps or crashes and more delays that we can't afford.  This is another case of having the solution but needed more time for polish.  Story of our lives, and that's why we're campaigning.

   

• For studios there's still a little room we found. For websites (later) and movies, will do.

   

• Solved but buggy. Workin on it. 

   

• The prompt below that window explains that you may use your arrow keys as well.  Clicking is just another way it can be done.  We plan to add mouse dragging. as well.

   

• Bingo! Another thing that's in there but disabled.  And so glad we did this sooner than later as it would be a nightmare to dig through that bit of code again nowadays.  See this. 

   

• And that's why we kept it simple.  Some of us were involved in the industry and in practice it's used to refer to non-acting films because it's just easier for everybody to say.  Our dilemma is that it's actually more of an insider term that most people we surveyed have never even heard of and wouldn't use on the regular. Now the features are usually referred to as films with acting yes, although to insiders it just implies that extra stuff will be going on. The idea of choosing a specialty might be removed entirely as it already feels unnecessary, although we still plan to explain what these are in more depth later on.  What we can say is that the features will have a lot more going on, once those are in we'll go from there based on feedback.

   

• They walked in and did the deed, that's a gonzo film by industry standards. Whereas the features here will involve themes with more cheesy dialogues, outfits, effects etc.  Just extraness.

   

• Agreed! And e're definitely going to circle back to that soon, old code.

   

• Extremely short!  The version we had planned to release effectively began at the end of this one. Sigh.

   

• 3 ! Hint: Spacebar for combos - Up x1, down x4, space (for straight scenes)

   

• Right, and it is a fine line.  We plan to extend what happens on set exponentially as we get closer to completion.  We figured 10 minutes was a good start in context. 

   

• There are two ways to queue his interaction, in which case does this occur exactly?  Please do feel free to send us your bug (janitor@joy-toilet.com)

 

Changing positions effects performers arousal rate, stamina and yup the movie quality itself which of course effects sales.  Automation is in the game although pointless in the beginning and so disabled.  We project that players will be scheduling multiple shoots per day so this was a must!  Hurvey will ask you later on if you'd like him to take some of the load off and whatnot thus prompting that mechanic.  We have a set of achievements planned but a separate rewards based thing could be interesting, thanks for the feedback!

 

 

 

 

Really that was great, I do you hope you continue to follow as you seem to be very much like-minded.  You'd enjoy our design sessions.

Oh you are back? Maybe this time it will work for you better than last time.

I hope that you aren't going in direction of "some shitty phone app clicker". It would be shame if so, only thing better than strategy game, is strategy game with sex.

Yup we're back! Rough year, things just weren't moving as quickly as we'd like.  But yeah this is not going to be an iPhone style clickers.  Much bigger, half the reason why it's not done yet!

I'm kind of surprised that the game found its way to Steam. Did you censor it ?

Also, disappointed by the stance shown by GOG, where you have to be an adult to play some games (FPS mainly), but never enough of an adult for a porn industry game.

Hypocrisy, hypocrisy...

[Tyrranus]

Have you looked into nutaku.net? and their kimochi program they're pushing?

Hell no we didn't! We have to censor the page itself but the game doesn't even have a censorship option. What hurt us the most about GOG though is that they do actually do sell adult games.  Just not ours.

https://kimochi.co/

 

Yup, and people ask this a lot so here's the whole story.  We had actually opened dialogue with Nutaku over a year ago. Contact was fleeting but we kept in touch long enough to even change point-of-contacts a few times. After they acquired Kimochi and announced their desktop game fund, Doop approached them about financing but was essentially told the game was not hentai or F2P enough.  We were open to changing things because we're more concerned with getting the game out than prodding our egos. But I suppose it came down to it being easier for them to just work with devs that were already going in that direction than to risk financing something like this. Completely understandable.

 

Pre-acquisition, Kimochi had approached us about doing a distribution deal but those folks fell on hard times right before the meeting.  Now, this was before a lot of the adult games on crowdfunding platforms right now were even announced. Which means for us it was one hell of a gray area and tons of emails to find a platform open to what we have. Kickstarter was a huge no-no in 2014 for example, when we first announced TxT. Other publishers at the time were also skittish because what if we couldn't even get on Steam? For example. So we had to do a limited campaign on IGG to raise funds to keep the project afloat and essentially ticking along but with no full or part-time developers. It was super iffy, we could have been taken down if only a couple of people deemed the project too inappropriate.  Thankfully no one did, or TxT would have died way back in 2015.

 

This has put us in a no mans land where we had to continue self-financing the project until our engine was kicking up enough dust for a playable - something we're continuously improving on with the time we do have. So before 2017 we decided to put up a public and private poll that asked our backers and supporters whether or not we should even seek additional funding or just keep it slow and steady.  People voted Patreon, which so far has gone just well enough to ensure we won't go under at the start of the New Year.  Truly, thanks for that!

Have you looked into nutaku.net? and their kimochi program they're pushing?

 

https://kimochi.co/

Ah I remember Kimochi before Nutaku.net purchased it, it was a great idea, just not enough dev's willing to put their product on it. It was a little ahead of its time but with Nutaku owning it now and how established they are I am excited to see where it goes in the next couple years.

[Tyrranus]

I was more suggesting kimochi so you could reach more people than as a funding source but.... good to know the info!
