Dukes & Dildos [0.47 - 6/27/21]

[sara04]

Hi this is my first attempt at a game. It's inspired by a few different sources. First off, it has a RPG rules engine including battles based of D&D. Next, it has some elements loosely in common with a Dance With Rouges (Module for Neverwinter Nights), and I'm also trying to setup some Game of Thrones esc politics.

If all that sounds pretty ambitious for my first game, well it is. The way I'm trying to do it is to pay attention to user feedback. I have surveys setup that I rotate every 5 version of the game or so to tell me what paths you wanted expanded and what you want to see. That way I can actually tell the story you guys and gals want to play as opposed to just whatever strikes my fancy, though I will do some of that too.

It's currently about 379,000 words. For comparison, if it were a single straight novel it would be longer than the entire Narnia Series at this point. However, since it is broken up in many different paths you can finish a single path a lot quicker than that. It also has about 3160 different options for you to choose from so there should be lots of ability to replay and try different things. Finally it currently has 32 distinct spots that are temporary endings that I intend to expand upon eventually. There are also a handful of real game overs that don't have any planned follow ups.

Parings included in the game right now:
MC is Female: M/F, F/F, M/M (you watch), Monster/F
MC is Male: M/F, M/M, Monster/M

Some fetishes the game covers: Anal Sex, BDSM, Creampie, Lesbian, Male Dom, Mind Control, Monster Sex, Oral Sex, NonConsent, Sex Toys, Vaginal Sex, Pregnancy, Corruption

Here is version 0.47:

Oh if you ever feel stuck and it doesn't say you're at an ending you aren't at an ending. Just keep looking remember you are sometimes at the mercy of dice rolls under the covers and may not get what you need the first time entering a room.

List of pairings/fetishes?

 

[sara04]

At the moment there is: M/F and F/F. I have plans for M/M in the future.

Fetish wise there currently is: BDSM, NonConsent, Mind Control, Tentacles, MtF magical disguise, and probably a few others I am forgetting at the moment.

 

[sara04]

Thanks to work being slow due to the slack outage you get two releases today!

 

[sara04]

I've just put up 0.23. I have good new and bad news.

The good news is that I've expanded the maid & wizard pet paths. The bad news I've ended some of the maid paths. The path where you were just being a pretty boring maid and the path where you romance Nam (but not the path where you are her sub) will direct you to complete the dildo quest.

So that brings up something I want to do, but had thought would be later. I want this to be someone collaborative and for people to not feel railroaded by the decisions I've made for the character. So if you have a good, in character, response to a certain page that I didn't include I would like to know about it. For example, if you have a reason that your character would actually want to stay as a maid instead of stealing the thing he or she is about to get paid a lot of money for, then I would like to know what that is. I will collect them and add them to a future version of the end game survey to let all the players vote on what gets included.

Hey I'm sorry to keep bumping my own thread. I'm taking one last shot at promoting this here. If there is interest cool. Otherwise I will let this thread lie. So if you like this and want me to keep you up to date here please reply so I know I'm not just talking into the void...

 

[karunama]

Frankly, I don't have enough information in this thread to even gauge if it's *worth* clicking your link, and not just because the 'plans for M/M' probably haven't come to anything yet. To be blunt, there's just not very much information about your game in this thread. If you want to drum up interest, you need to sell your game; be as informative as you can. The OP should have a full list of pairings and fetishes, a basic synopsis of the story that you're telling, and should tell us what sort of gameplay your game has. Is it a VN? Is it puzzle based? Is it combat? Is it combat-by-sex? Do you have rape-on-loss? Is it a dungeon crawler? Etc. etc.

This forum is inundated constantly by sex games that may as well have been made by the same fucking bot, they're so boring and generic. What separates your game from the herd? If you know the answer right off the bat, it needs to be in your OP. If you *don't* know the answer, it's time to go back to the drawing board.

If you don't go to a fair amount of effort to sell your game in the OP, you shouldn't be surprised if people skip over it... or worse, assume that that reflects your work ethic on the game itself. This also extends to posts about patches. Although it isn't strictly necessary, you'd be surprised how much more interest you'll get if your patch notes are professional looking. I recommend using bullet points, but at the minimum, a complete list of changes and additions will do you a lot of good. Also, the most successful threads on here update the OP with each patch as well as making a post specifically about the patch itself. You could do worse than to emulate them.

 

[Jash]

Yeah, if you don't try to sell us on your game (even if it's free; "sell" is about interest, not money), we won't buy it (again, metaphorically; it won't catch our interest). You can't just say "whoOooOOoO, I'm making a game, aren't you curious to know what it's about...?" because the answer is "...uh, no". If it wasn't for the patch notes mentioning some characters out of context and a mention of "MtF magical disguise" in the fetish list, we wouldn't even be able to work out that it's a fantasy game (merely including "D&D-style mechanics" doesn't guarantee that). You've told us nothing about your game- so maybe now you can tell us why you expected us to give a damn? Let the thread lie if you like, but I'm sorry to say that you didn't put much effort into it in the first place.

 

[phaos]

For what it's worth I quite like your game and would like to stay up to date on it.

 

[sara04]

Thanks all, good feedback. I've tried to address some of it in the current OP. Hope that helps make it a bit more clear what is going on and what the game is about.

 

[sara04]

0.38 is up. It's got a bug fix for the path where you play cards with the countess. Plus adds content to both the abyssal plane path and the wizard apprentice demon subpaths.

I've addressed all but 4 respondents to the survey now as far as the paths. There are some other responses like wanting certain fetishes added that I just haven't worked in yet.

For those 4 respondents 1 of the paths I just haven't caught up on some other paths to yet so I'm not ready to handle the subpath where you are the Duke's concubine and pregnant just yet. But soon.

The other 3 wanted paths expanded that I have no plans for yet. So I need some help there. I've added stars next to the paths that I don't have plans for in the survey in addition to saying that in the story. If you want one of those paths expanded I'm not opposed to it, I just need some direction. For example, one respondent wanted "Dungeon 5" which is a really dark path. So I need guidance like "I want someone to rescue them" or "I want someone to figure out a use for a completely broken person" or "I want it to get even darker somehow..."

Anyway, hope you enjoy the new update!

A good attempt, I did like the overall story idea and would like to see where the game goes. Not sure if you're still working on this, but thought I'd just make a comment anyway, just in case. I would suggest adding a bit more detail to what's going on, what characters look like and how they are behaving.

I'll use an easy example just to work from; we meet a sphinx at one point. That's the entire description: A sphinx is watching you. A bit more detail is always nice; how big he is, what his face looks like, his posture, quadruped or biped, if he's doing anything, as well as sexual stuff since this is a smut game.

Same applies for the sex scenes, if I may say. He pounces and puts his dick into you, is pretty much all we get. It gives an idea what happened, but not how it happened. How it felt, or how he felt to the PC. Some things can be left to the imagination, but having a starting point is always nice for text games.
