I tried to come up with a concept for a game today, and I managed! The idea was very limited with what was actually possible to do with it, since it had to be nsfw, so I won't develop it any further. I thought it would be a good idea to document the attempt here though, if only for the sake of telling myself that I have done something useful today.
The theme was "point and click", for the jam. Now that's a theme that invites a very specific kinda game, and I don't particularly like that. Somehow, "point and click" feels a bit restrictive when it comes to what you can do with it. Almost like it was already decided what kind of game to develop. Almost like it was a genre already.
I'd like to make something with gameplay that hasn't been seen before. Not super innovative, but at least different than "make monkey island but with boobs on it". Come on, give me a chance to do something neeeeeeeeww. Anyways, that's enough whining, here comes the concept (fuck this was a paper prototype, but I'm not putting up the parts again for a photo so this will be described in the horror that is the English Language, rather than as an image):
So you basically put bodyparts together to create an amalgamation, where the goal is to connect the bodyparts in a way so for example a hand touches a penis or a boob touches a face. Or a boob on boob, you know, I'm lesbian enough for that.
The pieces work like this: each piece has a connection point, which you can attach other stuff to. Then, by getting more and more pieces, you build each new piece on a connection point. You are allowed to rotate the new pieces, and by rotating pieces (and a bit of planning) you can loop back to old things and thereby make the overlap (read, putting vagina on top of face / dildo).
Anyways that's it bye.
