HARDCODED is a cyberpunk dating-sim where you play a gynoid on the run from her owners. She takes refuge in the lawless reaches of a ruined dystopia where she makes a bunch of cute friends.

Fuck your friends! Get money! Buy clothes and stuff! It's great.
Here's the patreon, the demo's in the description: https://www.patreon.com/hardcoded

Current Fetishes:
  • That good girl-dick
  • Exhibitionism
  • Slime monsters
  • Humiliation
  • Droid-disassembly
Fetishes in Development:
  • Feminization
  • Slime girls
  • Hypnosis
Current Pairings:
  • trans girl / trans girl
  • trans girl / cis girl
  • trans girl / cis guy
HARDCODED is a narrative-based visual novel centered primarily around building relationships and falling in Lesbians with cute trans girls. There are exceptions, obviously, but that's the meat of the game.
Here are some screenshots:

I love the art style, the writing, and the game design so far. This definitely stands out from the usual unpolished adult game riffraff. The decision to make the main character a trans woman with a penis doesn't really line up with my sexual orientation sadly. Despite that, I still enjoyed your game for its story and world building, even if the sex scenes involving two characters with penises didn't do much for me.

I'd like the game a lot more if the main character had a vagina rather than a penis, or was able to swap out for a vagina early on. Including that as an option might make your game appeal to a wider audience. From a world lore point of view, If the main character's limbs are detachable, then she should presumably be able to swap her penis out for a vagina on the fly (It gives a whole new meaning to the term "hot swappable"). Plus you already have customizable hair and clothes in the game, so customizable genitals could logically follow. Doubling your work by writing and making art for penis, and non-penis versions of the sex scenes might be troublesome. Plus, making the main character female sexed from the start sorta spoils the story's subtext about trans people feeling like they don't belong, though it would still work as a more literal sort of cyberpunk story about an AI trying to fit into society. So adding in a pussy variation should be a carefully made decision.

Unfortunately I just don't its viable for me to do variant animations for everything, like even hair & clothes revert to nudity/standard hair in sex scenes. There will be characters with vaginas you can romance and fuck as the game develops, but yeah we're for sure going to be focusing trans girls fucking for the most part. Thanks for playing the demo though, and thanks for the feedback! I think out next game is going to use rigged animations instead of traditional ones, so presumably we'll be able to do a lot more with character customization :D

Right so... this is missing a list of fetishes (in game already and ones that are planned to be put in the game) and pairings. I suggesting adding those to the OP ;)

I yet have to play the game but two quick comments about the OP. You should really include links to both of your Tumblr blogs, as they are very interesting. It also show how hard you have worked to get the first release out of the door. And two this sentence:

HARDCODED is a narrative-based visual novel centered primarily around building relationships and falling in Lesbians with cute trans girls.

Has make me laugh (that is a plus in my book) as it had created a hilarious image in my mind of a group of trans girls falling down on some poor Lesbians...

What are your plans about the release of public versions/patreon versions?

I'm glad you thought so :D My plans are to do monthly builds with new content for patrons but only do bugfixes for the demo. I might do that 'early access for patrons' thing and update the demo with new content that patrons have already had access too for like 3 or 4 months, but I've been working so hard on the next build that I havn't decided yet lol
