Interactive / simulationist, plus if you have a specific fetish like rape, torture, some other awful poo poo, then pressing a button and hearing a whimper probably does it more for you. I imagine, I guess, possibly, I wouldn't kknow obviously haha, wouldn't that be weird though? haha.

Knowing that music video, it's probably something advanced enough that the AI woman is sentient and more or less equivalent in mind to a real human.


For anyone who doesn't know, it's the really good music video Do The Evolution. I'm not a big Pearl Jam fan but the music video really makes that song worthwhile. I think Bruce Timm was in charge of the animation. I think that clip showcases an extreme extreme example of why some people prefer their fetish to come in game-format.

The video is by Todd McFarlane of Spawn fame. I think he also did most of the art for a game that ended up failing pretty drat hard, the name of which escapes me at the moment (Reckoning?).

I really only pay attention to the Steam front page during the big sales so Im hoping this thread is just exaggerating the horribleness it has become.

he's actually done a weirdly huge amount of work in games. he was heavily involved with a game called "Todd McFarlane's Evil Prophecy", which was a PS2 beatemup based on one of the McFarlane Toys original lines, he designed Necrid in Soul Calibur 2, and then he was the art director for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning (the game I'm assuming you're talking about, though Evil Prophecy bombed too iirc)

I don't think it has any merit.

We have people screaming the same but "opposite" argument saying "doom makes kids shoot up schools" every single time something bad happens, but we know that's bullshit now. People just seem to do what they do irl regardless of what they're doing in their games.

There are a lot of artists out there that don't know what they're worth that can be exploited, at least until they wise up. Try not to do this, but if you must, they are out there.

That being said, bear in mind making games still isn't even cheap for VNs (paying thousands of dollars just for the art is practically a given), they're just cheaper than making many other sorts of games. It's just the basic tools to do it with are comparatively easy and cheap.

drat Straight Todd was in charge! The time that video came out everyone at school was loving Spawn. As an adult now I really want to buy some of the figurines his company makes but also I'm an adult and I think a Hellraiser statue might bug the missus a bit.

Kite got trapped about 10 minutes in the game after 2 battles a dozen lines of some of the most horribly translated English ever existed in a house because he couldn't understand a prompt and we convinced him to stop playing for the sake of the world unless we wanted to purify ourselves with Nuclear Hell 2.

You guys didn't convince me of poo poo, I saw "go piss now" and immediately just went "No. No no no! I refuse! No!" and closed out and played a different badly written rpgmaker game called Finding Hope instead.

Write out the entire loving thing using placeholder artwork first, then worry about the art later. Don't worry so much about the branching paths, get something quick and easy to use like Ren'Py and start writing.

Write the whole drat thing from beginning to end with a single narrative, then go back and write the branching paths/different endings. Make sure everything is pretty much done.

At that point you'll have a giant list of every scene and character and CG that you'll need to outsource or come up with yourself. This allows you to have a decent idea what you can actually fit in your budget and what cost (per character, background and scene) you can afford. Shopping for artists is way easier when you realize more than half of them are going to be way outside that budget and will help narrow down your search.

When you start adding artwork related costs up, you quickly realize "Hey, maybe I don't need this character? Maybe I don't need a special background for this four paragraphs?" You start cutting extraneous poo poo and saving money, to boot.

Like someone before said, though, even with poo poo artwork it can cost a ton of loving money. Thousands, easy. Especially if you want any sort of animation.
