I think this bumps you up to my most favourite game dev ever. I despise time limits with a passion, and so many games have them!
December 19, 2012 at 1:30 am #1453since this is a topic of future games, I was wondering if at anytime there would be a game where there are chubby characters or a “bid your own character” feature in anything upcoming?
December 19, 2012 at 2:42 pm #1454We’re actually planning to at least test the feasibility of making a build-your-own-character type of game next.
And while we don’t have any chubby characters planned, we do have quite a few ‘blank slate’ characters appearance-wise, so who knows! 😉
December 20, 2012 at 3:39 am #1456The “build your own character” thing seems really complicated, so I don’t think anyone would mind waiting for a solid system. I can tell you though that I’m highly anticipating it.
For Chubby characters if the team ever needed help designing one, personality and art wise, I can think of a few =p
Also it just popped in my head, but would there ever be any mini-games inside any future games? like going to a casino and playing strip poker, maybe a public game where people watch or jeer from a crowd, or something private that goes further when you win the game?
I know I have spent hours on mini-games in plenty other games I’ve played, and card games are some of the most basic and fun to play.
December 21, 2012 at 6:11 am #1457Wow i love a lot of these ideas. This discussion got good again ^.^ Sorry I haven’t been around, health issues got to me.
December 22, 2012 at 1:49 pm #1458Would love to add card games. Somewhat relatedly, have recently broke new ground in figuring out how to design “Dating Sim — THE CARD GAME” XD
Will make a note about strip poker and such. If you’d like to share personality or art for a chubby character, we are all eyes and ears~
December 23, 2012 at 2:10 pm #1459Ooo, minigames is a good idea. Perhaps one that is one of those old style, side-scrolling shooters, with rewards of porn pics for completing a level or hell even keys to a room or something for higher levels.
Also a maze like minigame never goes amiss :3
Or there’s always the simple pacman game.
All of these could even be played on retro arcade machines someplace.Hell, if i new anything about how to make games beyond very simple things…i’d give something like that a go myself.
January 4, 2013 at 2:01 pm #1492Strip-poker like games make me want to learn how to play poke xD
January 7, 2013 at 5:19 pm #1494If I were to do strip poker…
A problem some games have is not giving enough feedback to the player. Where there are crazy fun details and math going on, but the player never sees it (especially in RPGs.)
In the poker games I’ve played, the better ones will show who you’re playing with, and characters might say something here and there, but the algorithms each use to play are so hidden that they all seem alike.
SO! I’d do it like Nintendo’s Punch-Out series XD where it’s more fun if you flat out know how they’re playing, and of course make them wager more than their clothes if you know what I mean.
January 8, 2013 at 12:22 am #1495I certainly have no complaints 😀
January 18, 2013 at 9:13 pm #1503nothing wrong with a few pre-programmed events, especially with sexy outcomes~
though if the numbers are the hard part then why not try something more simple, like a clicking game. For instance click the mouse or an arrow key to win in an arm wrestling match, or a racing game where the opponent isn’t really the main obstacle but the environment is, or a swimming event where the opponent has a set speed but the better you coordinate your button timing the better you are? Each event could take place with a certain character as well. Like how AJ is into muscle and work outs, or Ben is into swimming, could even have a special skinny dipping sequence.Oh and there could be a non-sexual sequence for your job, like making a number of burgers before a time limit. Gradually the orders could get harder.
January 21, 2013 at 4:28 pm #1505That’s definitely an idea. My only concern with it would be wanting things not to get too tedious, so they would probably be more ‘coffee break’ optional games.
Though…
I really enjoyed those retro 8bit games in No More Heroes 2. Would be funny to add something like it. Though I’m not sure if anyone else would find it as amusing as I would XD Maybe mix your idea with that, could work out.
January 21, 2013 at 5:29 pm #1506heh heh well I never said they needed to be mandatory games for the story, they would just be silly little extras. I know I enjoy mini-games, and any true gamer would want to master them X3
heh heh but yes, they can be tedious. But would also pad out the games, possibly adding an extra hour or two. I never played no more heroes 2, are the mini-games fun?
January 22, 2013 at 1:24 pm #1507I enjoyed them, especially the retro feel. They even had those badly compressed voice-overs, like the ones you’d hear in old Nintendo games.
Am honestly considering it…
January 24, 2013 at 12:33 am #1520I think arrow keys or keyboard keys are more… global? Harder to use a trackpad for click-type games, at least for ones that are rapid.
Edit: Oh, one thing I like with mini-games, is when progress changes the scene. Like games where the more you progress, the less clothing the subject has, rather than going from fully clothed to nothing right away.
