A little thing I have been working on (READ POST FOR MORE INFO!)
🕑 Added 2024-12-28 23:50:54 +0000 UTCHello, everyone! (Brace yourselves, as I will be bitching for quite a bit here)
As the year approaches an end and holidays are in their highest, I as an university student have been, what university students do - studing, doing coding projects... in assembly...
Anyways, while doing other stuff, I left my Stable Diffusion run on my PC, as I have been wanting to try AI art again as of late. I am pretty impressed by some of the stuff I learned from Azazellz, while working with him on Growing Explorations' artwork, so I wanted to try them out.
Thus as images piled up while I worked on other stuff, I picked a few and here is one such, that took a little of manual tweaking to come to this. I am pretty happy with the results, so I hope you like it too and I would like to hear your feedback.
But, why post this all of a sudden you may ask? Well, you may remeber a while back, I said I have been working on a little side project. With having made a few pretty good AI generated characters and an idea in mind, I want to present to you... a brand new... revolutionary... never seen before... FMG gacha game...
Wait! Don't leave after reading that, I still have some more to mention about it! The current concept goes as this - an 'online' idle game with a gacha aspect. Online?
Well... I am quite broke right now as I have to use my savings to get artwork made for GE... But fret not! It is all in the name of muscular girls, so sacrifices must be made! Jokes aside, I am really thankful for all your support! None of this would be possible without it!
Anyways! What I mean by online is, that your progress will be kept in a database and you will be able to access it anywhere you may need. But why not make a server then?
But what do we all want in a game? Gameplay! My current idea is to have it be similar to RAID Shadow Legends! An awesome rpg... Aghem! (This is not an ad, but sponsors will be appreciated) Jokes aside, the core gameplay will be close to that - assemble a team and fight monsters by using skills or what not.
I want to keep this project to the side for now, so unless it is very well received, I will probably create most of the mechanics on release or first few updates and then just release stages and new characters, which brings me to my next point - why do I want to make this game?
Doing AI art recently gave me quite a bit of inspiration, which I had forgotten. Thus, I want to make some muscular girls with it and share it with all of you!
Now, you may say - but why don't you make the art for GE then? Well... I want GE to be my main project and as such, I want to have the best of the best go there. Azazellz has been really good with his art so far, and I am really impressed with his attention to detail, so I suggest you check out his stuff. Also, I am not really good at keeping images consistent and my graphics card is not as good, so I can't do animations and more quality stuff.
With all this out of the way, I want to note, that this game will not be my main focus, so when or how I would release it, depend on university and GE's stuff. Also, updates for it will probably be stuff like gacha selections for new characters and not much things content wise. Basically a game to fill your gambling needs and enjoy some muscular cuties in the process ;)
One more thing I want to say. The GE update, will probably come by the end of January, as it is close to finish. I am currently mostly waiting for art to get done, but there is still some content to add too.
Welp! I have yapped enough now! I hope you like this little 'end of the year' announcement and would like to hear any feedback you may have!
As always, thanks for reading and for all your support! It really means a lot!
I wish you wonderful end of year celebrations!

Thank you for the in-depth comment! You probably know, that I too have made a now dead game in the past, because of overambition. I am hoping to not let that happen again. I now have quite a bit of experience with developing and maintaining games, from the 2+ years, I have been making FMG games. My idea with this one is quite simple, so it should be quite easy to make. I already have the gacha system and online database implemented, which took not too long. I will probably be releasing a few demos before the official release, as I want to flesh out the idea a bit more. Also, when I say, there won't be big updates, I mean there won't be overhauls like the ones I do with GE. It will be getting support, mostly in terms of new characters and story. This is because, as I said, Growing Explorations is my main project and I would still want it to be. Well unless this one comes out a lot more successful 😅. Another thing to mention, I said I will release the whole game at once, but there will for sure be a few versions worth of bigger changes before the game is polished. Yet again, thank you for the great feedback and I appreciate the support!

I think it's a great idea, and I'm always down for more FMG games. But you may want to take a look at the idea in a general sense. An online game solo with no support would be extremely difficult to make successful. How about start with something smaller and build it up over time? Maybe something like orachis growth gambit, but obviously sounds like you wanna go into a little more detail than that. The reason I say to scale it down, is because games of these type in this community, die from overambition all the time. (I'm sure you've seen all the dead ones on itch XD). The only thing I know for sure is people love consistency. But At the end of the day it's your decision, I'll support it and give feedback regardless.
