Whoops, I haven't posted anything in a while. I got really
into large language models for a bit, wrote a blog post about
them, realized LLMs are bad actually, deleted the post, and then
tried 3 times to write a post about just how awful they were
but never published any of them. I finally did republish the
original post but I added a disclaimer at the top. Anyway, that's not important. What is important is
that I'm going to be doing a couple game jams over the
summer! The first is
Preggo Game Jam
which started
and ends . It's all
about pregnancy. The second is
Summer of Smut,
a jam about erotic games in general, which runs from
through
. That's right, a three
month jam! I'm a little nervous about this one because that's
a long time to stay motivated on a hobby project. I've only
ever spent that much time on a game once before, and since it
wasn't porn no one ever even looked at it. Preggo Game Jam is going kind of rough so far. I enjoy
pregnancy as a fetish, but the kind of pregnancy smut I
typically like involves a male protagonist impregnating a bunch
of women and building a harem. And as much as I enjoy consuming
that kind of stuff, it makes me feel shitty to make it myself.
There's something degrading about it. So instead I'm trying to do something outside my usual
comfort zone: DRAGONS!. You play as a female dragon
and fly around in rail shooter segments to hunt, seek treasure,
and defend your territory. So far I have some pretty decent
physics-based flight controls. You can roll and flap your wings,
and there's a simple air drag simulation that accounts for the
angle of your wings and how spread they are. This lets you
bank left and right in a somewhat-realistic way. I'm still
tweaking the constants so that it feels good to move around. But where does the pregnancy part come in? Well, I'm
still working on that. The idea rattling around my skull
involves your dragon shapeshifting into a human and taking a
human lover for a while. While living amongst humans, the dragon
would get pregnant, and the pregnancy would advance for a while.
But eventually she'd leave that life behind and go back to being
a dragon. When that happens, the pregnancy would be converted
into a dragon egg. But that's just one idea for it, and I'm not super married to
it. It feels like it's not as horny as I want it to be. Maybe
instead there's midair fights for dominance and mating rights
with other dragons or something. That might be too skeevy
though. Another idea I had in terms of a human lover is that an
adventurer shows up in your lair and takes a liking to you. Anyway this whole thing is still very early in the planning
stages, and nothing is set in stone yet. I'm going to get back to it. I really don't want to abandon
the project, but I feel like doing all the game jams I can is a
higher priority right now. And anyway, it's going to require a
complete rewrite for compatibility with Godot 4, and I might
wait to do that until 4.1 is out at the very least.Where the hell have you been?
Game jams? Please tell me more.
Preggo Game Jam is already in progress? How is it going?
But what about Roll to Seduce?
