Slow and Not Very Steady

You know what's a slow process?

Making hentai games. Or well games in general but we're talking about the kind people like to play one handed here. Know what else is slow? Hentai game blogs, apparently. It's been exactly 7 months since my last post. Cool.

Regardless, things are coming along. It's going to continue to be a slow process as I have work I need to for my actual job, but it definitely has at least 12 more minutes of content than it did 8 months ago. Pinkie promise.

Last post I said I'd talk a bit about factions but that was a stupid of me because everything is still pretty early in development and keeps changing. BUT what I will say is I'm currently working on 2 different fairly large faction quests that will change the world somewhat depending on your choices.

Alright I don't have much else to say, I just felt like I needed to make another post. But while you're here, here's a few screenshots from an early build of the game showcasing Chase's custom vault-suit inspired outfit and a Mega Mutant among other .. things. Just keep in mind these are all from a work in progress build.

Okay bye

(Also I turned on anonymous comments. Thanks for the suggestion, random 4chan anon 8 months ago because I didn't see what you said until recently)

Making Progress

Oh right I have dev log. Should probably use that more.

WELL. The last few months have been just wonderful for getting work done on Degenerate's Den. And by wonderful I mean my tablet broke so I had to a new along with christmas presents all while my windows 10 got corrupted. So I've mainly been focusing on work work to try and get back on my feet.

THAT BEING SAID.. I have been making some decent progress. The starting map of the game has more than doubled which I think will make exploration more... Explorey instead of "Oh wow I've found every location in 30 seconds cool".

I've also decided to not include combat in the game. And while that could change in the future, my current thinking is leaving out combat lets me focus on designing quests and, you know, art for the scenes. Kind of important in a porn game. So as of now the bulk of the gameplay relies on dialogue choices, light puzzles, and exploration.

My current struggles have been deciding what to prioritize for the initial public alpha/beta/demo version of the game. I have SO many ideas for events/quests for the game that I want to put in right away when there's plenty of other things I should be focusing on first. I'm impatient.

And finally I'm changing the name of the game from Fallout: Degenerate's Den to The Wastes: Degenerate's Den. That change comes from 2 places mostly. First I really don't want Bethesda's very kindhearted and broad shouldered goons to come after me. And second the game has just evolved a lot from my initial Fallout Parody idea. I've been injecting a lot more of my original ideas into the game at this point so it just makes sense that I label it as it's own thing that's just inspired by Fallout.


And I think that should just about cover it. I'm not really sure who these updates are actually for, probably myself. But it's nice to keep track of this kind of thing for fun anyway.

Next update I'll delve into the various factions and other cool things you might come across exploring The Wastes.

Thanks for reading, have a totally consensual wip

Quests and Modified Art Stuff

Development logs. Right. That's a thing I can do.


WELL.


I've finally started to really get into creating some actual quests for Degenerate's Den. Up until now I've mainly been just brainstorming ideas for story and quests. So to actually start to have some playable story content finally is nice.


I'm currently working on a prison break quest with branching paths that will very pretty differently based on who you side with in the end. I've been trying to find a good balance of humor, murder, and actual porn for the writing and so far I think it's a pretty good mix. Though because this will be a choice heavy game you probably wont want mash the skip dialogue button to get to the sex scenes. You wouldn't want to miss out one some anal sex or something cool like that.

Some of the other quests/storylines I have planned are becoming the "assistant" to one of 2 popular female arena fighters, uncovering the dark secrets to a major city's government, being sold as a slave, and Super Mutants invading an all female city. 


My biggest struggle right now is trying to find a good quest log plugin, since that will probably come in handy for players. Unfortunately the one I wanted to use doesn't seem to be available anymore and Yanfly's isn't quite as user friendly as I'd like considering I'm already doing everything on my own. I'd hate to spend a chunk of time just trying to set up a quest log. I'll figure something out though.


On another note I thought I'd show off some of the modified art I'm working on for the game.


A problem a lot of people have with RPG Maker games is they all tend to look pretty identical. I'm trying to avoid that, but I don't really have the time or resources to dedicate to all original art other than the actual sex scenes(Those seem a bit more important that all original rocks) So for now I'm modifying a lot of the more important character portraits and sprites to hopefully give somewhat of a unique look to the game. Things like modifying the pigmen sprites to be more Super Mutant-y. Etc. You can see a few of those below because.. I dunno maybe you want to see how often I go "Man you know what this NPC *really* needs? Stubble.

Overall progress is going alright. I'm a bit worried I announced the game too early but I think the feedback and ideas I've gotten so far have been worth the risk.


ANYWAY I'm planning on have some lewd sneakpeaks to share next post so that'll be fun.


Bye now

Here we GO

As work continues on my next game, Degenerate's Den, I thought I should have a place I can easily post updates and receive feedback for my projects. So here we are.

My current goal is to get enough content ready for a decent demo build and then to hopefully get some feedback on it so I know the best place to focus my attention on for future content. We'll see how that goes.

Cool cool.

Have some sneak peaks.
