Novus_Peregrine Posted March 9, 2017 Posted March 9, 2017 Greetings and Salutations! I'm the creator of a fairly new adult game called Eros Academy. The game is ongoing and open-ended, with updates at least once monthly. Two updates have already been completed (Though the second is restricted to Patrons until the 17th). It is, and always will be, free. Patrons simply get early access to each build and a fair bit of extra content. I'll describe it momentarily, but first, for those who don't want to bother with the description, the download is available on my Patreon Page. Most of the following information is also available there. What is Eros Academy? Built using the Ren'py engine, Eros Academy is intended to be something between a Dating Sim and an RPG. The basic idea of the game is that, some years in the future, a new company founds an institution called Eros Academy. This academy offers both a place for people to learn about their sexuality and a safe haven to practice that sexuality. They offer four major services. (note: Only some of the things mentioned are implemented so far) Erotic Exercise - Nude Yoga Classes, Tennis, and swimming are just the beginning. The Academy offers everything from simple naked sports to sex-based workout programs. Classes - The Academy offers hands on instruction in everything from oral sex to bondage play. Scenarios - Attendees can select from a whole host of scenarios they would like to experience. Be it playing as a captured princess forced to submit or a naughty schoolgirl seducing their professor. Groups - Eros Academy allows groups of like minded individuals to use their facilities to practice their kinks. Be it Exhibitionism, Bondage, or Amateur Porn, there are groups at the academy for you to explore your fetishes with. [Currently Groups are not implemented, coming soonish] Game Play. For the purposes of the game, you play as Faith Imati, a young women who has worked up the courage to check out her local Eros Academy. The initial build mostly consisted of her introduction to the Academy, with a few minor scenes scattered afterward for players to find through exploration. The first update added a new major character, new locations, a new "major" sex scene, and a number of minor sex scenes. It also introduced the first stat-controlled scenes, with different results based upon Faith's inhibition, arousal, and fitness levels. The second update (currently Patron only until the 17th) added 9 new distinct scenes, with 4 of those 9 scenes having major variations. Along with those scenes came 6 new locations and the first relationship gated scene with a major character (Lily). Ultimately, the game will play as a cross between Dating Sim and an fairly open ended RPG. As you explore the ever-expanding world of Eros Academy, you'll be able to meet and develop relationships with an expanding number of NPCs, while also having the opportunity to shape Faith's personality/sexuality to your liking. You will be able to, in example, choose to mold her into either a dominant or submissive, with new options and interactions opening up depending on what you choose. What Will the Game Feature? Eros Academy is intended to feature a very wide variety of kinks/fetishes. A few that are explicitly planned, or in some cases already present, are: Anal Sex Bondage/BDSM Chastity Play/Orgasm Control Erotic Exercise Programs Exhibitionism (Photography, Amateur Porn, Erotic Strip/Dance, Bodyart) Heterosexual and Lesbian sex (Gay male sex only if there is a significant demand from patrons, it doesn't appeal to me) Masturbation(Solo and Mutual) Oral Sex Pet Play (Ponygirl training, Ponygirl races, Cat/Dog play) Public Sex/Public Use Sex Roleplay Fantasies (I.E. Damsel in Distress, Student/Teacher, Captured Warrior, Cosplay) Sex Toy Play Spanking Threesomes/Orgies Transformation(Limited and Temporary - Lasting versions are impractical for this game) and many many more.... Basically, the intention is to eventually allow Faith(and the player) to explore a bit of everything, all while developing relationships with an ever expanding number of major NPCs who she can either seduce or, in some cases, be seduced by. What is in the game now? (Note: This will be kept updated to the current Patron build) In addition to a fairly long intro, with a tour of the academy and a major multi-option sex scene: 2 Major NPCS - Each with the first of their major sex scenes, chat options, and in the case of Lily an appearance in a minor sex scene as well. 14 Additional distinct scenes, some with as many as 4 major variations. (In example, based on Fitness level and inhibition both the Volleyball and Tennis activities have 4 significantly different results) 16 Locations with repeat visits (A few more exist, but are currently only used in the tour) 143 Images - Including 16 animations Go check out the game! I hope you enjoy, and if you have any questions I'll try to answer! Once Again, the game can be downloaded from: The Eros Academy Patreon Page
Tyrranus Posted March 10, 2017 Posted March 10, 2017 I'm guessing 0 plans for a male main character version? :/
fredinator Posted March 12, 2017 Posted March 12, 2017 what about the most important fetish of all will it have pregnancy? will you be able to turn the school into some kind of brothel where strangers come?
Novus_Peregrine Posted March 18, 2017 Author Posted March 18, 2017 Oh dear, I didn't realize I'd missed a couple of questions. I'll answer them in a moment. First! The second update of the game, the Supplemental Scene pack which adds a fair number of new things to do around the academy, went live as a Public Release earlier today. Go hit up the Patreon Page for the new link! What's New in version 1.2: This update introduces 9 new distinct scenes, with 4 of those 9 scenes having major variations. With those scenes comes 6 new locations, and the first relationship gated scene with Lily. So that you can hunt them all down, here are the scenes that were added: Beach Volleyball (4 Results, Fitness and Inhibition level dependent) New Scenario - Stolen Uniform New Scenario - Grade Booster New Class - Basic Blowjobs (variation base on inhibition level) Masturbation at Faith's Apartment 4 Random Events Scenes (which are now a thing, choose 'explore the academy from the Hallway Menu) - The Glory Corner (2 major variations) - Public Use in the Park (2 major variations) - Lesbian Wrestling (Lily! Yay!) - The Wandering Stripper Now for those questions! @Tyrranus - No, not currently. Unfortunately, using Daz3d to produce my art would basically mean that every single asset for the game would have to be doubled in order to make a male version. It's also the reason that any TF fetish stuff will temporary only, as I can't realistically re-render every single scene in the game to account for long-term body or outfit changes. In the looooooonnnngggg run, if I ever got enough of a following, I might make an entirely different Eros Academy game with a male protagonist, but there is unlikely to ever be one for this game. @ Fredinator - I personally don't enjoy the pregnancy fetish, and thus it isn't a priority. Particularly as it would have to be only for a specific single character or set of one-off events, for the same reasons mentioned in my reply to Tyrranus. That isn't saying the game won't have it, if there is enough of a demand for it, but it's unlikely to be something I add while the game remains purely a hobby for me. As for the brothel thing, no to the turning the overall school into one. However! As it happens, there is a plan in place to make one of the Groups that Faith will eventually be able to join function as a brothel. The idea is that she'll be able to either whore herself out, or to act as a manager for others wanting to do so. I can't say when, exactly, that will be added, but I do have plans for it.
Tyrranus Posted March 18, 2017 Posted March 18, 2017 well good luck then with the project, but I'll give this a pass.
Novus_Peregrine Posted March 31, 2017 Author Posted March 31, 2017 New Patron Release! Eros Academy 1.3! Alright! It's finally here! And it contains lots of stuff! Well, it is for Patrons at least! The public release of this content will be Thursday, April 13th. New Stuff for Version 1.3: -You can now do a lot more with Lily in her office. If you have high enough relationship with her you can Massage her Shoulders, Grope her Boobs, and Give and Receive Oral Sex. More to the point you can now... -Ask Lily out on a Date. Take Lily out to a nearby cafe (if your relationship is good enough). There you can get new chat lines and have some fun. This also introduces the first use of the... -Dom/Sub mechanic. The bones of the system have been there for the last couple of updates, but this is the first time there are checks for it. The things you can do on the date will change target depending on how high your dominance score is in comparison to Lily's. There are also completely different paths for a Dominate and Submissive Faith in... -A new major sex scene at Faith's Apartment, after your date with Lily (if your relationship is good enough!). Content is completely different depending on who is in charge. -In addition, Naomi is now in the game. You can find her at the Indoor Pool. She has chat lines and a few interactions, but not a lot of content overall. She's intended to be a harder character to romance, so I couldn't rush in a major sex scene for her. -There is also a Temporary new scene on the random encounters list. 20% of the time you "explore the academy" you will get a text-only scene whose sole purpose is to allow easy manipulation of the Dominance Stat. Technically, this wasn't strictly needed, I was able to manipulate the stat using already existing scenes for testing purpose. However, I happen to know what literally everything does, since I wrote and programmed it all. As there simply aren't very many scenes that give dom/sub changes in the game yet, I added the temp scene for player convenience. The Next Update: Alright. So...read this through all the way please, if you read this section at all. The game is still being developed, and will continue to be! However, Eros Academy hasn't really produced much interest in the adult game community. The handful of Patrons I have are amazing. But, aside from their pledges, I've struggled to get even the most basic feedback from...well, pretty much anyone. This is incredibly disheartening given the amount of time I have to pour into the game to produce updates the size I have been. As a result, the APRIL update (the next update not this one), will be my last monthly update unless interest picks up. Wait! Don't run yet! When this change happens, IF it happens, I'm planning to flip my Patreon Page over to a "per creation" setup. This will allow me to take 2-3 months for an update of similar size to the current ones, without costing my lovely supporters a penny more for the same size content packages. Moreover, IF I do this, I will be altering the Private/Public release schedule so that the public release is always one full update behind, rather than an arbitrary two weeks. As for the exact content of the next update, that will be subject to a poll of my Patrons that will be going up in the next couple of days.

You know market as for now is saturated, you have to aim for specific fetishes that are trending. There is so much shit on patreon that I just started skipping anything that has 3DCG, unless they fit into my fetish list and I bet most ppl do as I. So you will need to have at last partially complete game to show off or harden your ass and stick to your vision as any other artist did in history.

So you will need to have at last partially complete game to show off or harden your ass and stick to your vision as any other artist did in history. Eros Academy currently has 192 images and a couple of dozen repeatable, completed scenes. Even the current public build has the majority of that. It is most assuredly a "partially complete game." I also wasn't referring to Patreon pledges, but the lack of any feedback period. The handful of "not interested"s I've gotten from this forum actually make up the majority of the feedback I've gotten. And in some of those cases I'm not even sure they bothered to download the game. I'm also unsure how I haven't been clear enough that the game is essentially intended to cater to virtually all fetishes, minus only extreme content. What the game gets in each new monthly update has been subject so patron polls, with a few other bits thrown in by me to slowly increase the overall number of fetishes in the game.

I had more in mind gameplay mechanic than amount of images. I gave a quick glance at your game and I would change few things. Reduce amount for options at beginning, there is no clear progression (adding time/energy/turn cycle can also help with that). Reduce amount of fetishes overall, and concentrate on few and finish them before taking another one. Reduce direct control - reduce direct choices and replace them with stat based choices for player to explore. That's what came to mind after few min, as I said before game dose not include my fetishes so it dose not keep my interest for long.

So, basically, you'd replace the game with yet another carbon copy of the standard Visual Novel. Bravo. Congratulations on your creativity. Never mind that it would completely undercut the whole point, which was to produce a much more sandbox-like VN that you can do just about anything in.

Well if sandbox for you is "click here for sex" then ok.
Novus_Peregrine Posted April 14, 2017 Author Posted April 14, 2017 Version 1.3 is now a public release! Go get it from the Patreon Page Main Post! See the 1.3 release post in this thread for what it contains. The Next Update: The last of my Patron Polls closed on the 8th of the month, so I now know what the next update will entail. My patrons surprised me by voting for me to expand the number of things to do around the academy in general, rather than adding another date or new character to the game. They further voted for the main themes of the update to be Exhibitionism and Pet Play, with a focus on F/F content. The current plan is for there to be between 6-8 new events of varying intricacy around the Academy, with at least 3 each being for Exhibitionism and Pet Play, and any others being whatever I feel like or have time for.
Sagebrush61 Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Spent some time with the latest version, I have to say that it improves it a lot being able to leave the academy, go on a date and end up at Faith's apartment. It helps that you are getting things more fleshed out. Too many of the options in the earlier versions ended with some variation of "not done yet, check back later". I realize they are placeholders for what you have planned ahead but it does make it hard for the user to form any solid conclusions about the work. Interested to see where things go with the new girl. It might be worth spending some time checking text for typos and misspelings. A lot of new game fragments on this site make the mistake of rushing through the text - and including too many typos and misspelings. It might be tedious, but failing to do so makes the work look unpolished - and when people are asking for money - lack of polish can hurt you.

I'm happy to know that getting the date content in there seemed to you to help. As for the misspellings, there shouldn't be that many. A few, certainly, but I actually do perform an editing pass on all content after it goes in. Self-editing like that always misses a few errors and I often pick up a few in later builds, but it shouldn't be overly common, I hope.
Novus_Peregrine Posted May 1, 2017 Author Posted May 1, 2017 Version 1.4 has gone live for Patrons! It will become a Public Release on May 15th, 2017. What's New in Version 1.4 A total of 7 news scenes, over 60 new renders, 3 new locations, and several new minor characters have been added for Version 1.4! Per Patron voting, this update contains two main focuses: Pet Play and Exhibitionism. Each of these kinks has three new scenes in the game, as well as related new locations. Also per patron voting, the vast majority of the scenes are F/F. Exhibitionism -The Exhibitionism Group is now live in the game, visit their club room for access to all three new scenes. A photo shoot in the photo studio, and two scenes in the Exhibition Bar, a new location that allows Faith to perform live sex shows for the public and serve drinks as a topless waitress/bartender. - Note: With the Exhibitionism Group now open, visiting the ongoing photo shoot that was already in-game has been moved to their menu. Pet Play -The first of the new pet play scenes is a class on catgirls that Faith can now attend. This class is required to get full access to the new scenes at a new location... -The Kennels! Right now the Kennel Mistress can handle renting you a catgirl for your use, or letting Faith rent herself out as a catgirl for the use of another Eros attendee. Eventually, this location will likely be expanded to account for other pet types (dogs, bunnies, etc.) Visit the Kennels by choosing "Go Somewhere" in the Main Hallway Menu. Developer's Choice! -In addition to the voted-for content, there is a new scene you can find via 'Explore the Academy' involving the Michael Maes character. See if you can't make his workout just a little bit harder... Other: -Thanks to the kindness of "Regardie" on Fenoxo's forums, I've fixed a couple of dozen typos throughout the game. Thanks Regardie! -There is a Known Bug in the game at the moment, but it's not game-ending. Currently it is possible to go above 100% or below 0% in the various stats. Something in the code I'm using to limit those stats isn't working correctly. It has no real effect on the game no matter how far you go in either direction (all checks being done using greater and less than). I had hoped to fix it this update, but several delays have prevented me from doing so.
Novus_Peregrine Posted June 4, 2017 Author Posted June 4, 2017 Version 1.4 has been live for the public for a little over two weeks (I was swamped last month so I'm afraid I didn't make my normal rounds announcing that fact). Version 1.5 has just gone live for Patrons(yesterday)! Another, slightly less happy announcement, is that I'm changing my release policy. Previously, in the hope that I would soon be releasing twice a month with support from Patrons, I had kept it so that public releases trailed only by two weeks. As I've gotten very little support for the game (and only marginally more interest) I'm altering is so that the public release of the previous version doesn't come until the new version releases. Currently that means a one month delay. If I eventually decide to alter from a per-month patreon setup to a per-creation option, obviously that delay could be even longer. Though, currently, I'm not planning to do that. What's New in Version 1.5 The are 4 major new scenes, several new interactions with Naomi, multiple new locations, and a new minor character in this update. Per Patron voting this update focused on Transformation. All four of the major scenes are focused on this kink! Transformation Scenes To access these scenes, choose "Go Somewhere" from the Hallway Menu. Through this you can now access the "Transformation Lab" which will allow you to transform yourself or others (Currently Naomi is the only other Transformation Target). Currently, you can either give Faith/Naomi a cock, increase their bust sizes, or do both of these things at once. Once you've chosen your transformation, you'll be treated to a short scene with the new minor character 'Carrie' applying the transformation! You'll then be sent to a variation of the main academy hallway menu, where you can select what you want to do. I did it this way so that it can be expanded upon later, allowing me to put scenes for a Transformed Faith throughout the academy grounds. Each of the current scenes has requirements. Don't worry! If you don't meet them, it will inform you what you need! Meet the requirements in order to run through 3 new scenarios and 1 new non-scenario sex-scene. Two of the four scenes support very minor amounts of modularity, mostly just allowing for either the augmented or non-augmented breast sizes. To be honest, attempting to do that doubled the numbers of renders I needed for those scenes and contributed a lot to the release being late. Naomi Updates In order to use Naomi as a transformation target, you must be on fairly good terms with her. As such, she has had a number of new interactions added to her menu in the pool area in order to make raising her relationship stat much easier.
