*Suggestions for next Fupoco dating sim
-
June 11, 2012 at 1:11 pm #809So the English furry fandom finally has a furry dating game. Yay! This could be the start of more games like this. I am hoping the brave Kaive will make enough money to make the next game he does even more vast. I would pay $30-40 for a game that was more complex using the same general idea Common Grounds use. I’m curious what other users who have played Common Grounds (or the ones that didn’t buy it and why not) would like to see in the next game.
I think it goes without saying we all want Common Grounds 2. Kaive writes amazing dialog and the world needs more gay furry dating sims so I believe he should usehis experience from CC to make an even better game. Here are some of my suggestions. Please post your own.
1. It seems impossible to piss off furs and cause drama in Common Grounds. I can screw Andrew then screw his roommate while he sleeps and neither get jealous? I would like to see a game where cheating gets you in trouble.
2. To facilitate the above, more conversation/action options that matter a la Mass Effect. Choose the subjects to talk about on a date. Choose when to make a move. Choose what to major in in college. Have it all affect your stats and who’s attracted to you.
3. General character creation. Nothing grand. Have like five or six color options and four or so species. I would hope this wouldn’t take too much effort, but I’m not a programmer or graphics designer.
4. HD. Full screen on my 1080P monitor looks awful. I’d love to see high resolution.
5. More interactive yiff. Decide how far to go. Move the mouse up and down to control thrusting speed. I don’t think this is as important as the other items,but it would be fun.
6. And lastly.. Graphics. I love the character designs and the facial expressions are adorable. Also watching Troy laugh makes me want to hump his tail off. What I would like to see is a better fur texture and to be able to tone it down for slower compies.Again Kaive, you did great work. I know the above suggestions would require a larger team. If there is anything I could do I would volunteer myself. If I could help in any way I will. Just let me know. Common Grounds is great and I’ve bought a copy and got two friends to buy copies. I want you to succeed and I want more games like this.
Thank you,
<3 Sangie
June 11, 2012 at 8:02 pm #810=======POTENTIAL SPOILERS FOR TROY========
Haha, I just completed the game with Troy and so happy about it! A lot of what was said in the narration on Troy’s character design were suggestions I had above. I’m glad to see that Kaive already wants to go that way with the next game.
I’m serious about helping out. I’m great with computers and have done some writing and also have done QA work before too. I have minimal programming experience but if shown, I could program some tedious things. I don’t know.. maybe I’m ahead of myself?
Also yes please more fembois! I love how troy is one <3 I really wanted to go into the lingerie store with him.
June 11, 2012 at 8:26 pm #812Does it really have to be limited to gay? >:Y I’d be perfectly fine with Bi too. xD
In any case, I would also like to add though we would all love CG2, we also don’t want you guys overworking yourself. As far as I know, this is the first Furry Dating Sim thats actually worth playing, and paying for.
You guys have a rather talented team, keep up the momentum! <3
June 11, 2012 at 9:23 pm #813Which is why I think with more help from the fandom, the games could be more vast and interesting. I’m all for helping out so the team isn’t overworked.
And the next game may have more fembois. That is bi enough, right? I think so <3
June 11, 2012 at 11:27 pm #814Also I did want to bring up that having the characters voiced would be nice. Granted you’d need quite a few volunteers and bad voice overs can completely ruin a scene and make it funny when it’s not supposed to be. Maybe holding auditions on FA and having people send in voice files would be the best. I know Rahne does great voiceover work and he has professional experience.
June 12, 2012 at 12:36 am #815A female would be nice ya know. It would please all audiences. =u=;
And I think there’s a reason why they aren’t openly accepting help.
CG2 is probably still in development. They’ll need more opinions than ours as well.
June 13, 2012 at 5:14 am #818I’m sure Kaive had his reasons for not including a system for jealousy, but it was something I thought made the experience a little more surreal. I wonder if it would’ve detracted from another part of the experience?
I think having no voices has its own charm, but I’d definitely like to see some voice acting get included in something. Especially good voice acting.
I think it’d be fun to have an optional voicing for a whole game that is purely for comedy, like bad takes and improperly emphasized syllables and inappropriate inflection and wrong voice actors.
Also, I think more branching for dialogue or events would be cool, but I seriously have higher expectations for Fupoco games than the level of Mass Effect’s writing.I’m fairly sure that many of the fans would like to help. Isn’t it like that when there’s a fan of something in general: the fan wants to help there be more of the stuff they’re a fan of?
I’m interested if there’s anything that would be appreciated from the fans other than simple adoration, comments, word-spreading, and a bit of cash. I kinda want to make a childish thank you card to Fupoco, complete with paste, glitter, unexplained weather and animals, and bad grammar that almost changes the meaning of the written message.Oh, and I can’t say stay away from girls (because they’re icky), but I can say I rather enjoyed the complete absence of females (does the mother count?).
June 20, 2012 at 5:57 pm #821Am liking these suggestions! If there’s one you’d like me to respond to specifically, let me know.
VOICE ACTING
– I have a roster started, thanks to some awesome people who are already volunteering. I’ll have a more public call for talent and auditions at some point when the script is ready. But by all means, send us an email if you’re interested!FEMBOIS
– Was thinking of letting the player enter interesting clothing stores to dress up however they see fit, wink wink. Would like to let the player have some control over how they act in bed too~GIRLS
– Very tentatively, would like to include one date-able girl character, but by no means will this potential pairing be a straight thing XD (though I do have plans for straight, bi, all kinds of games)HELP
– still figuring out how to handle all the offers for help. I’ve come from the indie game making circles, and every time I’ve asked or been involved with teams, it never seemed to work out. I really like the idea though, and would love to help some people make their own games or team up for stuff.And come on guys, do you really want a video game modeling furry drama? Cause I will so totally do it!!! haha
June 21, 2012 at 6:45 am #824I have an idea, but feel free to shoot it down lol. Perhaps make the game add more fetishes to the mix when doing the special scenes, or set up something where you can control how you mastrubate. I would suggest specific fetishes that I enjoy, but I’m mainly into things that not a lot of furs like. I think a lot of people would perhaps like a bondage one involved though 🙂
June 22, 2012 at 8:27 am #825It’s difficult portraying the more exotic kinks when I don’t quite understand their appeal. Am all ears if you’d like to explain them! I think bondage is straight-forward enough, though I’d shy away from the more painful and scary stuff.
And while I’m open to ideas on this, I do want to keep Common Grounds 2 relatively vanilla, so they’d be for other games.
June 23, 2012 at 5:32 am #838Well if you want descriptions of kinks, you’re best off looking at a website called fchat. It’s a roleplaying site, BUT when you look at the long list of kinks it has and the descriptions it gives it’s a good reference.
June 28, 2012 at 1:16 am #842Well there are fetishes like cross-dressing, rimming, bondage, etc and then there are fetishes like inflation, sadism, scat, my little pony, and dismemberment. If too extreme fetishes are included, it could chase off the normal audience. Having some bondage and other light fetishes might be nice though.
And YES a furry drama simulator would be hilarious. Thanks Kaive for replying to some of the specific suggestions ^^
September 24, 2012 at 4:00 am #1039I know this is old but would be willing to do audition for voice acting if needed. I have been involved in many skits at convention as well and some minor volunteer radio work. Also I would be willing to help out with the game itself if needed. I’m not a programmer (least not what I would consider as one) but do have a ton of computer experience and even a year or to in IT from my time at OTC. ^.^
