Billionth Project Idea
6 days ago
Hey, guys! I know I've started billions of projects before but I wanted to share one more and hopefully spark some conversation.
For those who don't know, I have a background in game dev. Short-lived as studios here in Brazil are limited and the field demands a lot of time. Trying to develop something solo while working on comms and keeping myself afloat is often more than I can handle. Still, I've been saving up enough to give myself some breathing room.
I recently got my hands on a Meta Quest 3, and more using it to play games, I got it cos I really want to develop something of my own. A game, of course. Not exclusively for VR but I definitely want the option to fully immerse in a wild world with kinky creatures.
Without going on for too long, the current idea is an alien world where the player establishes a research camp. Then with different tech they'd explore unique biomes with all sorts of original creatures (akin to pkm or dgm). The player would attempt to "befriend" those wild aliens through different means. The aliens themselves would be sapient and capable of communication one way or another. They will vary in size and in how they stand: from quadrupedal ferals, to bipedal anthros, to whatever is between and around those things.
What I want is to create a range of interactions. To simulate aliens being in the wild, so they would just be doing their own things and the player could very well just watch them National Geographic style, but also give the player the chance to get down and kinky (and dirty) with them.
I want to make it a comfortable experience to most (and myself) so I don't intend on doing stuff like predation or anything that includes physical harm or lethality. Even if I get around to doing vore stuff (very probable) it'll be safe/non-lethal. All kinks would be togglable and the game loop/mechanics won't rely on specific fetishes, they'll simply be for flavor and indulgence.
This will take time before I get something concrete to show, that if I am able to invest enough time in it... That being said I would love to know what sort of thing you'd expect or hope for in a game like that? What sort of interactions, behaviors, creatures, possibilities would you like? What do you crave in a NSFW game, be it VR or not?

Besides that, one thing that would make me love the game a lot is the ability to BE an exotic creature, and do all the things they do! NSFW games have a tendency to make things one sided...
Different preferences for individual creatures would be fun! Did think of giving them some different personality traits, but preferences is a good call too!
I didn't have much plans for the player character, definitely didn't want a human or alike. But it's a good point to allow the player to *do things* too!
Also i do hope that the stink power will be similar to real world animals as example with Digimon that Renamon will be just heavy vile cuz foxes and such and not "Skunk smells the worst despite them being rather clean" or with goat ones because of goats avoiding water and therefore baths lol.
Very excited for sure! I also deeply hope it wont be VR as someone like me hates VR ^^"
I do wonder will this be 1st person Only or will be 3rd person also possible? I mean we could just be like choose like 1 from 3 species and be that random character after all but i dunno how much work that would be ^^"
If i may ask, will you do a crowd funding with it? Despite me having no money i would save up a bit and give it to it
And it's being developed non-VR first. The point is for it to be accessible to most, so VR will come later and as an optional thing.
I'm mostly thinking it'll be first-person so you can get as upclose to those alien bits as possible, but maybe some interactions could work better in third person. We'll see.
As for crowdfunding, consider my current Patreon the crowdfunding for it hahaha! If I at one point get a playable demo done I might make a specific patreon page or similar for this project for the sake of access to new versions, updates, process videos and such. But the same will still be accessible on my regular patreon.
I'd be open to providing feedback and advice, from the perspective of being both a former dev and a Blender tutor.
My first thought is that this is a very lofty goal, and a very small prototype proof of concept should be made as the goal first.
Another fetish game with a similar premise comes to mind, and that one seems to be going well.
I have a number of assets that I would be willing to share for it too. Most of them are metatextures or image-masks.
As for what I would find appreciable in such a game, definitely making the world feel "lived in", like having proper amenities set up by the natives or something akin to rhinoceros middens for the ones that are more nomadic.
I'm once again reminded of Monster Mind, this time of the optional minigames in which you and the pokemon you spend much of the main game groping partake on equal terms, with plenty of flavor dialogue to go with it... in a more realistic project, it wouldn't require as many words - just a few gestures could convey a lot!
I appreciate the offer! I'm still exploring the art direction I wanna take with it. I'm finding the sweet spot between appealing and achievable for a solo developer lmao.
For the most part, the idea is that the wild will be pretty much... wild. I will try to simulate behaviour on the aliens as if they are dealing with their own thing regardless of the player, but they are very much not civilized, but it could be fun to explore the idea of some species adapting their habitats like finidng nests and stuff like that.
It's tough putting all concepts I have for the game haha! I got a GDD but I'm still messing with the ideas before I'm fully set on them.
I can get behind it. Designing the alien race(s) would be the most difficult, but certainly possible.
