What kind of game is this?
It says that there will be dating sim elements, and a story, but what is it actualy. First person, third person, multiplayer like Vore Tournament, Adventure, Just a flat out Dating sim, Sim game, Action, platformer... Doomclone?
Like what is the genre of the game outside the Vore.
TLDR; (Sims+SKyrim) Without 10 million different items, and significantly less complicated.
Mixed Genre, The nutshell is "The SIms, but you can posses your sims" So for the majority of areas you can either command your characters similar to an rts, click the character, click thing for them to interact with. Or Do the Over the shoulder thing, with limited First-person perspectives.
Vague, I know. But the idea is to make an open-ended framework.So The core Tech will contain things like the body and skeletons, the animation framework logic,Camera, event triggers, Inventory systems, AI packages, Entity statistics, Conditions etc. As well as Different components for Actor control. And possibly even a networking component.
The reason the Genre is hard to define is that the plan is to add Modules onto this core to expand the content as I go. so the first coat of paint will be sci-fi, but its not outside reason to reskin a fantasy module. Im going for Games as a service model, and will more or less dev by the whims of the public.
It sounds complicated, but in reality, I'm Using a machete to cut off extra bits that would be too hard to actually make, and wouldn't be wanted anyway (voiced dialog, Too many stats, etc). I plan on making some public material soon, But I need More feedback on concepts to get a feel for what the community wants. I'm getting close to an actual content release, but right now I'm still in Discovery and Initial Tech development mode.
I would Love to hear more from people, and see what you guys want..... I keep reaching out and getting nothing but silence. I have 30 people in my discord, and like 2 ever say anything.
