New Demo (v2) Coming Next Week! - 'Plagued by Lust'
🕑 Added 2024-10-24 20:11:33 +0000 UTC
Hey everyone! Just wanted to give you all an update on what I’ve been working on for the upcoming demo (v2) of Plagued by Lust, which is set to release for early access members next week!
I’m taking my time with these early versions to gather as much feedback as possible. This gives me the chance to rework some fundamental ideas and philosophies behind the game. Once things are set in stone, there’s no going back for major changes, so I want to make sure I have a solid foundation. I believe a lot of the game’s success will come from getting this right.
Illustrations and Sprite Improvements
With that in mind, I’ve made a effort to rework my art style, particularly how I express details and render my illustrations. I've also redone the sprites to ensure they are both legible and expressive!
Erotic Content
One of the key focuses for this next demo is more zombie-related sex scenes, as that was a common piece of feedback I received. Since zombies are a big part of the game's premise, I want to make sure this element is front and center in development. There are 12+ new erotic illustrations added, and if all goes well, I’m aiming to push that number up to 20. I don't know for sure, but it’s definitely possible.
Writing
Another major piece of feedback was about the pacing of the erotic content, specifically that it felt rushed. Riley was being portrayed as a slut too quickly, without much build-up. I think this is a fair criticism, even though I don’t want the game to be more story-heavy than sexual, I do believe I can find ways to show explicit content frequently while still giving the story a more thoughtful pace. I’ve tried exploring some methods to do this, so once the next version drops, I’d love to hear your thoughts on how it feels. If it’s still not hitting the mark, I’m more than willing to rework it again. That said, I think this version is a definite improvement!
That’s just a bit of what I’ve been working on and a heads-up about the upcoming demo release. If you have any questions or feedback, feel free to reach out, and I’ll get back to you as soon as possible!
Thanks for all the support and stay tuned for the release!

That's really appreciated! For now, I think all that I need to work with Patreon for the next few versions is pretty much figured out, but yeah, there's a lot I want to experiment with (more for other projects). When the time comes, I'll hit you guys up on our Discord to get some feedback on how i'm setting up my patreon page~ I'd really appreciate it! Thanks! But for now, I think I'm good hehe no worries :))

Sounds good! If you'd like to experiment more with Patreon post stuff, I'm happy to pitch in another $1 to upgrade to a poison-tester tier haha

NO IT WASN'T LOL... so sorry about that. You know how, if you're not a member of a Patreon page, posts with images show that blurry square thing? That’s what I was aiming for in this post to catch the attention of potential new members. I thought using images in the body of the text would do the trick, but nope. Since I made a text post instead of an image post, it didn’t display how I intended, so I had to fix it. Sorry about that =v Anyway, I’m glad you liked what I shared! Hopefully I’ll have more updates for you guys in the next few days! ^^

Oh and just noticed a typo, figured I'd say as you're likely to repost this around 'which is set to release for early access members next week next week!'

Looks great, can't wait for the next demo version! Also, as far as update posts go on Patreon, this was a high quality one! Only things I'll say though is that I got two email notifications, one with images and one without and the top of this post seems to show every image as an attachment? Not sure if this was intended
