Beta 2 (full story) is LIVE!

Interactive Graphic Novel / Game Tuition Fees Beta 2 released 2016-08-29 and it's now a full fledged demo of Chapter 01 with:

- 6 story lines with different conversation & possible interactions in
- 10 scenes, 9 of which include an embedded MPG4 animated backdrop
- 2 possible ending animations (narrated depending on story line) which I can't show you here because they are definitely NSFW and include an animated moneyshot :)

I've removed the feminist dilemma for now since no feminist seemed to care, it may frustrate or annoy my core target audience and it's a lot of work. So, I'm still not going to do rape or non-consensual but the fierce and in my opinion justified reaction at times is gone. Nobody seems to give a fuck, so why should I? If feminists don't put their money where their mouth is, and they can do so on my Patreon page where there's a specific option to insert it, porn will just be porn.

Give it a spin (links in the upper right corner) and use the comments below to tell me what you think.

Giving Back: The Alphabet

The Phoencian Alphabet.
As you may or may not (but should) know, the alphabet we use in the west is in essence invented by a sea faring tribe of merchants. I might add that it was in that time, and I suspect ever since, the only tribe that expanded power and influence by means of trade instead of armed conflict. They spread this alphabet because it's much easier to trade if you can understand each other and know you are talking about one and the same thing.
Now, I needed this alphabet in .obj file format because I wanted to create a logo for the main page that leads to my games in various stages of development, a general entry point for the both and some general links. A simple yet sexy page, not too much in your face. With an animated logo embedded in my HTML5 canvas, because that's the (graphical) ingredient that makes my work stand out from the crowd.
Here it is (in ugly crunched .gif):

 So, anyhow, I needed the alphabet in .obj file format and thought that would be easy to find, and free, being generic, ancient as fuck and all. But, surprisingly, I couldn't find it quickly, apart from versions I had to pay for and while I understand time, work, skills have value and results don't need to be free per definition, I'm poor as dirt and can't afford it. Besides, come on, it's the bleedin' alphabet, everybody should have a right to use it. Nope, couldn't find it (but maybe my Google skills suck). I did however find it in .stl format under the GNU/GPL license (commercial use allowed) but the program I'm using couldn't eat it.
I had to convert it and luckily, some brilliant people provide just that service on the internet and letter by letter, digit by digit, I obtained the alphabet in .obj file format. Hooray.
Job done, right?
Well, here's the thing, as with my feminist Dilemma, I'm not your middle of the road porn producer. There's some people who have invested their time to mine out the resources I could use to craft what I needed. I've put some time in it as well. Time is money, aye, I'm aware. But I'm getting, and I'm giving back. So the next individual who needs a simple, basic but perfectly workable alphabet in .obj format doesn't have to spend that time but can just go & grab mine.
It lives here (completely safe for work and clean, no ads, banners, pop-ups, cookies, cam-girls). You're welcome.
Once I've got some more resources up, files like these but also useful snippets of code (like my super sexy universal canvas text-wrapped-in-a-box) I'll put the link in the box up to the right, for now you'll just have to trawl through these (TL;DR) walls of text to get to the goodies.
Oh, wait, before I forget; new page is up with access to two! games under development. Here.

The Feminist Dilemma

Yeah, right, you think. A porn producer with a feminist dilemma. Well, crawl down to the bottom and start reading how I got here, before you judge. And secondly, yeah, it's totally possible. And I'll explain why.


I know, this stuff doesn't look like it's catering to feminism, does it? And, admittedly, the game or interactive novel is intended to reach a male audience with one thing on their mind. As per usual, one could argue.
Before I continue I should explain that the current active beta is

1. one branch of a game setting or framework that has(so far) two branches; the development demo preceding this branch is simply disabled to reach the most recent production stage first and exclusively and 
2. in early stages, which means the foundation of the various story lines and resulting (possible) interactions is established but the story in itself, the extent of the narratives is extremely limited. This might give you the idea it's just plain superficial and stupid, which it is, at the moment but that's not going to stay that way. The various roles you can choose for the protagonist will have a more profound effect on character relation and development thereof.

Now, that being said; the Feminist Dilemma. So, ok, sure, I'm a man, I like porn (my wife knows and doesn't mind) and am frequently disappointed by how shallow it is, especially where games are concerned, which is why I started to code this to begin with. But worse than disappointed, I'm frequently infuriated by some of the behaviours, attitudes and plain assumptions that are considered to be normal, and thus become norm. This is teaching men and boys the wrong thing. So, in my game, there comes a time (depending on which character you've selected to play) that you get to comment on the girl's outfit and subsequently have to respond to her reaction. And this you can get wrong. Check out the screen-shot below.

Yup. You got it wrong. You can't judge a girl by what she's wearing, that's none of your business and you should treat her according to her actions and what she's saying. The protagonists admits as much but still has to start over. No excuses.

I'm assuming there's plenty of users who will find this annoying. The girl looks like a slut, right, and she's in a bleedin' porn game, what does she expect. Well, the same thing as when she comes home with somebody after clubbing in a figure hugging dress and that's not to be raped. No matter what she's wearing.

Angering potential users of this game, especially when you're poor as dirt and months if not weeks away from living under a bridge might not be the smartest of moves. But I will not do rape, I will not do non-consensual and even if my characters are or have to be, in this context, somewhat shallow, stupid or predictable there will come moments that my morals and ethics start protesting and I'll point out some horrible misconceptions, often indeed reiterated by porn.

That's when my feminist dilemma kicks in.

Deal with it.

Tuition Fees & Student Loans

Actually, Tuition Fees is the (working) title of the second branch in my framework under development but I thought Google might like Student Loans as well.
To remind you: this blog follows the development of a framework for interactive, animated 3DGCI games and interactive graphic novels that are created within HTML5 (Canvas) & Javascript /Jquery so they run in a browser, independent from device or screen resolution. I'm hoping to make a living with it, and not love under a bridge in a couple of months. Nobody wants to hire an old fart like me, and believe me I tried, ageism ftw, especially in technology. Google it.


I'm creating demonstrations of two concepts in a single framework: all content can be accessed from a single entry point. Currently in development are
-  Extra Curricular; a GAME, point and click adventure, with character selection, room exploration, inventory management, dynamic dialogue etc. This is a challenge, for players.
- Tuition Fees; an INTERACTIVE GRAPHICAL NOVEL where the story that develops is based on user interaction. This is not as hard (you'll get there) but the challenge is to try and unlock all streams.

The first demo of Tuition Fees will be released next Friday (2016-08-12) but I thought I'd give you a preview of the animations that are embedded in the first version and the interface, obviously under heavy development. But it indicates the responses from protagonist and female character and the presentation of choices. The bar on the lower right indicates her mood or attitude towards the protagonist, you. Also, it's mister Random because I can't be arsed to change the default name during testing, but users can if they so desire.

Don't be a stranger, stay tuned.

Dev Demo 3 is Live! \o/

As you know I'm working very hard on this and intend to upload a new development demo every week, which shows in first instance the basic game features and mechanics while it is progressing to a decent beta, which will be a full story, albeit with limited content availability. We've now reached number three. The upper right corner of this blog provides you with the links you need, all safe for work and clean.

Dev demo 3 includes:
Content Intensity Selection (PG, Mature, Hardcore)
-- remember you can vote on the support site for which version to develop first. For a measly $1.49 per month you get to have a say in priorities.--
Character selection (Redhead or Blonde?)
-- characters are animated in the game, both during game-play as scene transitions--
Story Selection (Short, Medium, Long?)
Environment Exploration & Inventory Decisions (Find the dildo's but do you take them all?)
Flashback Animations (Once you found the dildo's)
Outfit Selection (concept, only 2 included in demo, one for each girl)
Girl's attitude (based on exploration decisions, 3 out of 7 active)
Dynamic Dialogue (concept start)
UI (concept start) which includes a 'Leech Meter'; every click increases it and once full can only be reset by visiting one of the provided links :)

Next I'll work on two main things:
the User Interface, which will include things like Attitude Meter, Memories (video library and actions-results combinations), Back and Forward buttons (the latter of which will have limited functionality in the demo but the former will allow you to 'step back' and change decisions), a way to access and use inventory, help and information buttons (to replace these walls of text you're now confronted with) and
Interactive Dialogue, now up in concept, your (sequence of) choices influences the girl's attitude. I'll also add things to do instead of just say like 'look at ...'

While doing so I'll work on expanding the current animations and graphics create new ones.

Because I need to test for instance dialogue or animations I want to jump to these positions in the game and I'll create devJump locations, secret hot-spots at certain game stages to skip choices and move forward with a set selection of choices. These will be active from development version 4 onward. But if you want to know where they are, you've got to support development of the game. And no, random clicking on the screen probably won't let you find them because they are interdependent; :)

Don't worry, I'm a Counter

It's me! Don't worry! Your soon to be favourite indie erotic game producer! Yes, yes, I know, you got here without your consent, without actually clicking on anything you'd recognise as a link but come on, that's not the first time is it? Why don't you buy me a coffee? Or a beer? :)

Once off support, coffee size :) Americano £2.00 GBP Latte £2.95 GBP Go get a pint £4.95 GBP Hell, have two £9.95 GBP

You're not being redirected to some atrocious cam site, click bait bullshit or what have you that's part of that thick layer of nauseating slime that's covering the World Wide Web in these days. YET!!!!! You'll see me first fired from within the game when product X, Y or Z is mentioned to show I can do product placement in the game to generate revenue. And I won't do it again in this (beta version)! Promise! But you do understand I have to make a living, right, so visit my support site and this shit doesn't need to happen. It's up to you.

This also tells me how many times my game is actually accessed, you understand the reasons, don't you? This blog is free because the data that's being harvested represents value for the company that runs it. I get that. But they also have a sexy statistics tracker that saves me some time so, never mind me, I'm just a counter. On you go, sorry about the interruption :)

Reason for the PG option

I started this blog a week ago with the musing, a little surprised, that I found myself producing porn.
But wait, why, I don't have to. Nobody is telling me I have to.

I was thinking yesterday, I do that an awful lot, and realised I was just looking for some type of game that I didn't seem to be able to find. Something like Leisure Suit Larry; teasing, witty, sarcastic but a bit more modern. Not a remake, but something along those lines. I started searching for it and bumped into many adult or erotic or pornographic games but very few and far between were actually games. They are interfaces to get to the naughty. Many of them with atrocious graphics. Frequently the main challenge was to move your mouse in a certain speed to reach a certain level of excitement. In short, where adult content forms a big chunk of the internet and it's traffic and games form a big chunk or contemporary entertainment, where these meet seemed to be in it's infancy.

There were however two exceptions. There may be more but those two set me on this course because they were better but they weren't near what I was looking for, a more complete and challenging game with erotic undertones or full fledged adult content. One was more interesting, as a game but was using pictures and if I want to see Ukrainian chicks in compromising positions I know where to find them. The other had indeed fairly interesting art & graphics but a few plays showed the game was limited in challenges or scope. Bored rather quickly. Still, it was one of the better products I encountered in a quick search. And, more or equally important, none of it was something I couldn't do. That personal itch thing. Some people understand what I'm talking about: if you want something some way and it doesn't exist while you have the skills, you end up going out and hacking it together yourself.

And I thought that I couldn't be the only one who had been looking for this. One of the examples mentioned above, and my de facto inspiration to go out and do it (with some serious urgency, I might add) was making a little over £2.900 a month when I first checked his Patreon page. Two weeks later this was over £3.000.

I realised this could save my life. I don't want to sound desperate, but I am. And I could make similar at the very least and probably better, if not graphics (which is a matter of taste) then game-play; I've been playing around with partially random, interactive stories for years. I went at it with a vengeance, 18 hour days, coding or messing with The GIMP while CGI and animation was rendering in the background. Living on coffee. One week later the first demo was up, the website registered, the CMS installed. Another week later the second demo was up. The uncertainties about the technical feasibilities gone. One heroic individual had registered as a member. My first sponsor broke the ice.

And so Sunday I sat there, tired but happy that I met the (self imposed) deadlines and that, with that single first sponsor and member, the concept appeared not to be dead in the water. I went out to promote my game on Reddit, introduced myself and, on the spur of the moment, referred to Leisure Suit Larry with another post, 'Ken Sent Me', wondering how many people would remember this. But it also set me thinking.

Why porn? It wasn't necessarily porn I was looking for, even while I don't object to it. Or better, why only porn? I'm establishing a framework in which many stories, chapters or episodes can be developed. I'm putting up choices, implementing the twigs that can be branches and even sowing seeds that can grow into trees for future development. Why not also insert a PG option. Still sexy but not 'in your face', not explicit, hard core penetration and money shot. Tune it down a bit. So I've decided to insert that option which will be live in demo 3. You'll get to choose how low you want to go, or how deep, excuse these puns, with a PG or 18+ version.

Sounds good? Join the discussion in comments or connect on Facebook.
You can support development for as little as $1.99 / month on my Patreon page.
Demo 2 (still PG, Safe for work) is live here
Website (Safe for work, clean, no ads, banners, spam, no with adult material until you opt in for it and register) is here.

Enjoy!
