  1. Time Wizard Studios: My journey started when I made this post on the Lemmasoft Forums, convinced of how easy it would be to make a lewd RenPy game. Well, 3 years and $15,000 dollars later, I can finally conclude that, actually, it is not that easy. But nevertheless, here we are! Before we get to the big reveal though, let me take you a little back. When I discovered this genre of gaming all those years ago, I was instantly hooked. I was having a blast playing and exploring the newly emerging market of Western Adult Games. But in the back of my mind, I knew I could make something better. So, I downloaded RenPy and got to work. Who knew that my scheduled daily fap session would set me on track to change my life forever. I wanted to create something that was more than just a hentai game. I wanted to immerse myself in the game. To wander around the setting, entering and exiting locations as I pleased. To have these backgrounds be filled with girls that I could talk or flirt with. To find items littered around each location, items that I could interact with, pick up, combine, give, or just plain investigate. To solve puzzles and mysteries, embark on quests, play mini-games, raise stats, and collect money. All while periodically getting my rocks off to doe-eyed cuties. So, I am very excited to show you the first release of our brand new interactive Adult Point-&-Click Adventure Game, meets Dating Simulator, meets Visual Novel — Another Chance! The Game: Another Chance stars a 20-something waste of space going nowhere fast. Through a series of mysterious circumstances, our protagonist receives a divine intervention and is granted another chance at life. You can’t invest in Bitcoin in this new timeline, but you could possibly hold some hands. Here is a little gif that shows what our game is about: https://i.imgur.com/v8FyBgs.mp4 But don’t worry, we’ve also got something for those of you who like your pixels stationary. Meet some of the girls you will be bumping into as your roam Newfall High’s hallways and corridors. https://i.imgur.com/arMH4fe.jpg And a couple of locations where the story takes place! https://i.imgur.com/ceA08jZl.jpg https://i.imgur.com/lkMvKFK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/KhLjKFL.jpg https://i.imgur.com/bGhMWjm.jpg The Future: That concludes my little town cry. For most of the developmental time, I was working from the shadows, but now I am very excited to become a regular poster in this community. The game is currently free, you can download and play the latest version, and if tickles your fancy, check out the Patreon. We plan to roll out new updates monthly. But truthfully, that is not what is most important to me. Really, I just want to foster this community. I feel a strong sense of acceptance and belonging from forums like this. So, above all else, play the game or not, enjoy it or hate it, support or freeload — in any case, you're welcome to join me on the Discord! Here is the Discord Link! https://discordapp.com/invite/KPRktG2 Here is a link to the Itch page where you can download the Mac, Linux, or Windows version. https://timewizardstudios.itch.io/anotherchance We’ll be waiting!
  2. Hello. I am the project lead of a game studio, Time Wizard Studios. We are making a point and click adventure game meets dating simulator. Meets visual novel. We created the game, we are looking for an editor to record himself playing the game and make a fun and funny trailer out of it. Something short. That gets the point across of the game and shows it off. Here are some gifs of the video game. https://i.imgur.com/mXwLC7z.mp4 https://i.imgur.com/J3tUjRE.mp4 I want someone to play the game and make a cool trailer out of it. Show off all the mechanics. If you are interested, message me I'll send you a link to play the full game. My budget for this is somewhere between $50 and $100. I just want it to be a short funny trailer. Between 30 seconds and one minute max. It shows like the funny lines, the funny characters, the interactions, item you can pick up, things you can do. Best way to message me is to come into my discord server: https://discord.gg/KPRktG2 my email is [email protected] My name is TimeWizardStudios, I am the project lead of this studio, just send me a message directly.
  3. An Introduction For the past six months, my team has been working on an indie game that is getting ever closer to being ready. The team currently consists of me (the project lead), a game developer in charge of implementation and coding, a writer designing the story, and two artists creating the background and characters, respectively. The project fits into the Western Adult Adventure Game Market. A niche that I discovered about three years ago and instantly saw the opportunities in. While this is a studio making an adult product, this isn’t really an adult company. I just see a good opportunity here and I am not afraid to go after it. I'll try to keep this post as SFW as possible. A Lewd Point-&-Click Adventure Game Another Chance is a lewd game with a lewd storyline that deals with topics such as loneliness and isolation on a real level in our work-a-day, social media world. The story stars a 20-something waste of space going nowhere fast. Through a series of mysterious circumstances, our protagonist receives a divine intervention and is granted Another Chance at life. Here are just some of the characters you will meet: Meet Isabelle — the friendly new girl from across the pond, who somehow wasn’t in your last senior year class but is now. Meet Kate — the sadistic queen bee of the school, who will walk all over you if you’re not careful. Meet Flora — the younger sister you always wished you had, but that it’s probably best for everyone you didn’t. And a couple of locations where the story takes place: Welcome to the pit of depravity, the tomb of the forsaken, the well of lost souls… my bedroom. Creaky steps. Sneak 100 required to reach the kitchen after bedtime. And finally, here is a little (very slightly NSFW) **gif** of how everything comes together and how the game looks and functions: -> https://i.imgur.com/nepHzKX.mp4 In Search Of There are four job positions that I’m currently looking to fill, Social Media Manager / Community Manager / Talent Scout While I’m certain about the quality of our game, I feel like success relies heavily reaching and interacting with the consumers. . For this role, I need someone well versed in internet culture. Someone able to reach the deepest and darkest corners of the internet and spread our message proudly. I need someone skilled in managing social media accounts (Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, etc.), and who knows the ins and outs of Reddit. The ability to start conversations and create buzz about our game across multiple subreddits and platforms is essential. Applicants for this position should also know their way around Discord, and be proficient in live community management. Finding Facebook groups, Discord servers, and Tumblr blogs that might be interested in our game is also a big part of the job; as is getting down and dirty on sites like 4chan. In short, I’m looking for someone with a good head for business and marketing, who can promote our game without coming across as spammy or fake. Virtual Assistant / Partner For this role, I need someone who can help me grow my business ideas into successful enterprises. This isn’t going to be one of those types of VA jobs where all you have to do is some simple excel data entry or emailing. I need someone who will pretty much be my equal and will help me build this company (and others) from the ground up. Besides this game, I am also working in eCommerce and Apparel so anyone with experience in those fields is a big plus. In short, I am looking for is someone intelligent, hardworking, consistent, who is ready to get their hands dirty in the bizarre world of online business. U.I. Artist For this job, I’m looking for a U.I. artist for my game. If you noticed the gif, the U.I. is still very lacking. I’m looking for someone talented to create all the text boxes, menu boxes, icons, and so on, matching the cartoon style of the game’s backgrounds. Musician I’m also looking for a musician who can compose one or two original works to accompany the demo launch of the game, and maybe eventually work on a full multi track original soundtrack that will fit the theme of the game. I would also love to find more artists or writers who would be interested in working on this type of project (especially a character artist so we can speed up our production). Although for these roles, the need is less urgent, but I would love to start opening up some conversation if this post has sparked your interest. Cashola Now about the pay. When I first had the idea to build a game like this three years ago, I was a Junior in college and was trying to hire everyone off a few thousand dollars I had saved up. Needleless to say, it didn’t work and all that ended up happening was me losing a good chunk of money and time. Recently however, I was fortunate enough to be hired by a company in the nearby city. I decided to take my paycheck and pretty much reinvest all of it into this dream of mine. I am currently paying my team members $500 a month, paid out as $125 every week and that is what I would like to offer you as well. This is just while everything is coming out directly from my pocket. I believe this game will be very successful and I plan on bringing my whole team up along with it. The idea is that is when we start making money from the game, I will increase the pay of all team members in steps, so everyone will get a raise to $750 a month, then $1000 a month and so on. Conclusion If you are interested in any of these positions, the game, or if you would simply like to join the community, here is a link to the Another Chance Discord server. https://discord.gg/qtxrNMa You can also email me at [email protected]
  4. I'm making a point and click adventure game and I'm trying to write it. The problem is, that writing a point and click is unlike any other type of writing. It's not like a novel where you can just write paragraphs and also it's not really linearly written. Instead there is a bunch of if-then conditions where the dialogue that shows up is based on what the player has done/read before hand. To move the story forward, you solve puzzles and get items. Large portions of the story are locked away until you complete certain tasks. I'm trying to find out if anybody knows of a method of how to write the script so that it is follow-able, not confusing, and easy to implement. I'll tell you my current method. Right now I split up my files into three types: Character Outline, Character Script, Location Script. Here is a screenshot of my google docs folder In the character outline file, I try writing the story like in a normal writing style where I just outline what will happen and such. Here is an example Then I have the character script file where I take what I wrote in the outline and turn it into an actual script. Here is my example It's the script of all the dialogue between the main character and that specific character. As you can see the writing doesn't really stand on it's own and it's hard to tell what is happening unless you wrote the entire thing which makes it hard for me to hire new writers. I also feel like later on, I'm going to have 50 if statements before a single line of dialogue, which can't be a good thing. The last file I have is location script file which is very similar to the character script file but instead of all the dialogue that happens between the MC and one character it is all the things that happen in that specific location with all characters. Here is my example of the Cafeteria Script So that's how I'm trying to organize all the writing. As you can see, I don't think this method is working out quite well. For the first 10-20 minutes of game-play I already have like 30 different files created. I feel like the complexity will keep increasing exponential as I add more characters,quests, and objects. Does anybody know a better way? Either a better way to organize all the files/documents or a third party software that specifically handles this type of writing?
