Sexy Quest Dev Log: Scale & Scope & Sexy
🕑 Added 2021-06-09 19:11:26 +0000 UTCHey everyone!
It's time for a little developer update/log talking about Sexy Quest, the new game starting up after Town of Passion finishes in a couple weeks!
Today I wanted to chat about the "3 S's" that I'm focusing on with Sexy Quest: Scale, Scope & Sexy.
== NSFW Balancing ==
For those of you familiar with my other games, Sexy Quest will still involve and focus a lot around NSFW scenes and progressing intimately with beautiful women. However, traditionally, most of these characters have a 2/3 scene progression system that I don't think will be happening in Sexy Quest.
Each character, I anticipate having AT LEAST 1 NSFW scene. But to give each character 3+ scenes won't be feasible. The art for SQ takes a little longer, and SQ is not a game I want to develop for 5+ years.
The main goal with NSFW content is to make sure each character has a meaningful scene that's well integrated into the pacing of the game. For example, in the prologue chapter, which will be the first update I release, there will be an NSFW scene. You won't need to play 3+ hours of the game to unlock it. I don't want SQ to be a game where you need to grind 5+ hours to unlock any of the juicy stuff. Instead, I want it all spread evenly throughout your journey.
== Game Length ==
This is going to be the challenging part! Sexy Quest is going to be a traditional JRPG and for those of you aware of the genre, those games tend to take quite a while to beat.
This is one of my gripes with JRPG's in general- that they can be a little too sluggish at times. I'm not aiming for SQ to be an 80+ hour game. But at the same time, I want the game to feel meaningful in it's completion.
It's incredibly difficult to estimate how long a game will take to beat in this stage. But right now, a 15-20 hour game would be awesome!
== Development Starting Soon ==
For those looking forward to Sexy Quest, I'm happy to announce that I should be starting physical development on the game either late this month or next month!
Town of Passion's final planned update is releasing in a week or two and with that free'd up time, I'll be working on Sexy Quest.
The art has been in development for quite a while so I've got a nice head start in that area of the game! I've been spending a lot of personal time thinking about the story, various quests, characters, etc too and I'm very excited to start working on all of that!
Once development starts, I'll have a much better idea of how the game will look and feel. Even the combat system isn't entirely known and tbh, in the first few updates, it may see some changes/tweaks until I find something I'm happy with moving forward. The first few updates will be very experimental so if you're with me from the start of this game, hopefully you enjoy seeing how the game evolves!

That's everything for this little ramble. I just wanted to talk about the game a little more as things begin to pick up speed very soon.
For those of you looking for Town of Passion news, I'm working on that update and hope to have it out soon!
Thank you all so much for your support and I will see you soon!

Awesome, I'm very much looking forward to it! Thank you for answering my question.

Probably roughly the same amount of characters. Between party members, villains, important NPC's & side-quest NPC's, there will definitely be a variety of characters who you can 'interact' with! There will most certainly be fewer scenes. ToP has around 70 including costumes/echo scenes. Sexy Quest will have less but each scene will be more impactful/unique. That's the plan at least. I might re-introduce an occasional echo scene for some smaller events/fun NPC's that otherwise would take too long to include. We'll see once we get there!

Very much looking forward to it! There are far too few erotic games that have actual gameplay imo, and ToP and Zombie's Retreat are excellent. For the NSFW content, with each character only getting one or two scenes, will there be a lot more characters than ToP or will there be fewer scenes in total?

It’s always so much fun to see how you actually give a damn about story and characters and pacing and all that in your games
