Station Wayland - Game Proposal
🕑 Added 2019-10-26 05:01:35 +0000 UTC$5+ Patrons, don't forget that the Focus Poll for Build 9 is up! Please remember to vote!
With that out of the way, this is the third and final new game proposal. If you missed either of the first two (or need an explanation as to why there are new proposals at all), the first two are Here(Drow Trainer) and Here(Chastity Quest). The first post, for the possible Drow Trainer game, has a fullish explanation as to the whys and whatfores. If you missed the details but don't want to go back and read a bunch, the most important thing to know is that no, DoL isn't ending yet and won't be effected by this planning. Those Cosplay Cafe might be effected, possibly. See the Drow Trainer post for more details.
Now, onto the third game proposal!
Station Wayland (Working Title Only)
This game is, possibly, the biggest departure of the three from DoL. The two main reasons I say that are that:
1) It's a thematic swap from a fantasy-theme to a science-fiction game. Though Eros Academy had a slight future aspect, I haven't really don't a flat out sci-fi yet on this patreon. Which is actually a little odd, as I'm a sci-fi novelist -_-.
2) It's not a straight BDSM and similar theme focus. Oh, that will be present, that's kinda what I do with these games, but it'll have more regular sex-ventures than has been typical.
Background:
Desiree Lynn Blackwood has had enough. At 23, her boring family has become stifling, constantly harassing her to choose a 'real' career instead of...everything else she does. She's sold some of her music! Sure, not much...and she's not sold a ton of paintings, leather goods, custom VR mods, or other projects. But she's sold some! Enough to at least pay her fair share of food and utilities and such! And she loves what she does, unlike her parents and siblings, who constantly complain about work. Okay, so she might struggle from time to time...but that's worth it to her.
But not to her family. Which is why, in a leap of faith, she's toke the first shuttle off the planet with all her savings and a the proceeds from her latest bigger-than-usual sale. Someone bought a half dozen of her original paintings! With the money she has, minus the ticket price for the cheap interstellar shuttle, she'll have enough money to last her a month or two at this Station Wayland that the shuttle is headed to. Wherever the heck that actually is...
-------
So, that's the basic intro, but it doesn't tell you much about the game, huh? Well, let's take a hop down to the gameplay section, then!
Gameplay:
Now, as I mentioned in my previous posts, I've learned the hard way to keep things simple(ish). I've taken care to break each of these new game proposals down in such a way that I can add to them in logical finite segments like DoL. The way that will work with Station Wayland is that each build of the game (at least for the first few months) would introduce new locations on the station. Desiree will be trying to make a go of living on-station, so she'll need to find a way to make money...and also check out the various scenes! Now that she's out on her own, there's so much she wants to do.
In essence, you'll be able to guide Desiree in exploring the station for fun and profit in her new life...and this is an ADULT game so virtually every location will have shenanigans to get up to. Some examples of places (and activities) I've sketched out to include are:
1) The Lingerie Shop. Working here can make her money! But the lesbian owner is willing to hire her mostly because she's hot...and she's expected to act as a display for the merchandise! Depending on her own lewdity level, she may make only a little money modeling the most concealing options very awkwardly....or she might make a LOT of money giving steamy shows of the best stuff in the shop for big spenders. Maybe even with some 'backroom extras' for the big spenders...
2) The Leather Emporium. Desiree checks it out, thinking it might be a good place to sell her leatherworking! Only to discover...it's a BDSM shop and club. The owner is VERY interested in Desiree's talents...but wants her to make bondage gear! And, of course, he'll have to test the quality on someone... But if she likes it, she'll also get access to the Club! Even opening up another job opportunity as a 'club sub' provided for doms to have fun with when they don't have their own around...
3) Engineering - Engineers always need help! And Desire has learned a lot making her mods. She check in to opportunities and finds several. Unfortunately, the mech-suit designer is unabashedly a pervert, the A.I. designer is a clutz who seems to always get either himself, her, or both in compromising situations, and she's fairly certain that the alien running the medical lab is far too handsy for professionalism. Of course, all of these people could really help her out...if she can handle them.
------------
Those are simply a small sample of places that could/would show up in various builds. The goal for you (the player) would be to help Desiree make it big...by any means possible. Which might include being a sub for the club, testing mech suits with perverse extra features, seducing your landlord/lady if you come up short on rent, and so on. Of course, Desiree won't just jump straight into all the kinky things, you'll have to get her used to them and find the opportunities for her to explore her sexuality...
Assets/Game Engine/Art:
I'll be honest here, this is the game of the three that will be the roughest in this respect. You can see that I've only attached a single render to this post...and there are reasons for that. The simple truth is that I would HAVE to do this one using Daz3d...and my asset library for Sci-fi material is extremely slim at the moment. I'd need to buy a bunch of core assets right out the gate, in order to sell the setting. It's also a bit more complex on the organization side than I'd really like, making it more likely I'd need to make it as an RPG maker (with renders, of course) or other not-Twine/Renpy game in order to not want to shoot myself in the face every update.
Saying that, however, I am sure I can do it. And sure I can structure it in such a way that it can be tackled in suitable content-heavy chunks. Of the three games, though, updates would probably be smallest with this one.
