End of May and Storyboarding

 Hello everyone,

Sorry for the lack of response but I've been hammering out a lot of things. If you didn't already know, this is a solo, long time hobby that has just moved into full production. If you've been following along you may see me stumbling a lot. I am trying to do everything, advertise, promote, code, blog, upload, fileshare, user feedback, write, program, add imagery and juggle the multiple passwords/user interfaces/systems.

The game is around 15-20% complete and getting faster. This is a uniquely ambitious project with the intention to interweave choice, have meaningful decisions, appealing visuals, family focused and lightly customizable. I am stupidly persistent and am hoping to make this a monument of online, adult, interactive, fiction smut. As I am human, I still have to live, eat, breath, have waste and compose well thought out responses/updates/feedback to my backers.

In terms of roadmaps, I'm playing rubiks cube with multiple mechanics to create modularly complex and reiterative system. I'd say there's at least 10 programing systems that needs to interweave with progression, visuals and storytelling. I know I can figure it out, I just don't know how quickly I can complete it, however there is a pending 2025 release date with an estimated 2-3 million words.

I am building the premium version of the game from the get go so doing everything hard all at once. Expect 2-4 week releases with a time staggered releases for non-backers. Due to the grand 'planned' scale of the game, there will be a considerable amount of visuals. The images are AI generated by pornpen.ai and leans heavily towards idealized features, heavy makeup and have extensive photoshop, filters and alterations. Your mileage may vary with you can produce with the woman (realistic) generator.

The bodies shown are not realistic depictions of human beings and should not be used for your measurement of health, happiness or beauty. This is a made up game in terms of words, logic and visuals. It is overtly sexual to sell an idealized, cartoonish, serialized, story-book situation where you, the reader, take on the role of one of the Jones twins (Kevin or Kelly 18) and navigate around your lawyer father Jim 44, stay-at-home mom Judy 42, jocky older brother Fred 24, bratty older sister Abby 22, your twin, raging hormones, bad ideas and infinite time.

As hinted, this work is intended as art and includes many dark themes such as many dark themes, including violence, evil, torture, rape and optional ntr/cuckold. It will focus heavily on straight sex and the family. Whatever your opinions or beliefs you have about gender, sexuality, age, consent are forfeit when you engage with this material. Readers will forfeit all rights to be upset by engaging the game however please be kind to each other in real life and strive to make the world a better place.

Monday schedule is relevant in that I'll try to base my outreach around that day, although it will probably always be inconsistent. I have to tackle everything at once and honestly, stopping to check things I can't control is more trouble than it's worth. There will be consistent radio silence from me and that's just the nature of game development/writing. I appreciate the people who see potential in the game and hope to surpass expectation as a self-test, artist and entrepreneurial endeavor.

Lastly, as an emerging and potentially damning opinion, AI art is legitimate. Composition, action, emotion, meaning, aesthetics and everything has to be aligned with multiple generations/editing. Think of it like instead of hiring an actors/actresses, a camera crew, make up, catering, stage, location and everything else, I just ask for the computer to frame a, "blonde 20 year old with a short bob in a bikini dancing at the beach," and it does it with indicated positioning and what not... It takes effort to make cohesion and we already have all DNA and song melodies mapped out. We're just now seeing it in terms of visual media and it's destabilizing all of the above highlighted. Go try it, it's free however please conduct your own research and form your own opinions.

SO this Monday, I will upload a visual of the road map with the AI art and MAYBE a more playable sex system. It may seem like a bait and switch between what was initially promised (writing) and what's shown as 'proof of work' (imagery) however the story is 5-10x the visuals and 2-3 million words so it may be thousands... Like I said, I'm doing this as a challenge and towards the end of development features/options/stories may be cut back or character/player specific. If the game garners enough funding, I may stop the subscription model with the premium $3 one time pledgers getting the full game and a set higher buy in price later. As much as I do this for art, I still have to take care of a living being. Needless to say, I'm trying to bite off a lot... so jump on it when it's hot and sit back for relentless creativity and depravity. Thank you!
