This will be one of those short, proof-of-life posts. Sorry bros. It was a long day and IRL stuff got me really exhausted. I just downed two cups of coffee to make sure my brain functions at least a little bit while I type this.The work. I've finished working on the Muscle Men Contest. The plan was to work on Wives Beauty Pageant next but I decided to change the plan. I will be dedicating this week to working on Happy New Year event. This was something I was avoiding to work on for quite some time now. This is supposed to be a memorable event since it will signify the end of the year. At the same time it should be repeatable, with different variations depending on how many (and which) wives you have at that moment, with some sort of ultimate celebration unlocking only with a full harem. To be honest with you I am still not sure how I want to do this... If you have any ideas, suggestions or examples from other games let me know.In the meantime I started working on some art assets (see pic above), sometimes it's easier to think when my hands are busy drawing. I want to create a drawing of Genie relaxing with all his wives after the New Year's orgy. Despite me not being sure how exactly I will be showing this event, I know that I want to finish it with this picture saying "Marital duty complete" or something. Anyway, this week I hope to do a lot of drawing and planning. Next Monday I will be able to at least show of some new WIPs if nothing else.Well, that's that. I feel like the coffee is strting to wear off, so I better wrap this up before it's too late. Thank you for your support guys. I will see you next week.-Aka-

Wow, what a sexy animation!

No worry, we all have hard days, hope even if exhausted everything went well, the update sounds awesome, so keep it up!

That’s an interesting game design question. Obviously as glorious as it would be, it’s not an optimal use of time to do N^N permutations of art for each possible waifu combination. I have a few decent ideas on ways to approach this: 1. A many layered CG scene where each character has a spot and once they are in the harem they fill that spot. While the one scene itself will end up pretty complex, it’s probably the least work overall. This is both the simplest and one that gives you the “gotta catch ‘em all” motivation. But it does feel a little less special especially for the first year when you probably only have one. 2. #1 for every year after the first plus one unique CG for whoever their first (or first additional) harem member is in the first year. I’m not sure how long in the game it would take to add a member though so if it’s possible/probable you’re adding more than one then you probably need to go to #3. 3. “The two part porno.” You have one base scene where there’s a party/orgy that is populated by each waifu as they’re collected, followed by one unique CG/scene for each waifu and you have Genie pick which one to end the night’s celebrations with. Makes it fun to try someone new each year so adds some length/replayability. 4. Play test it and guess what the most popular combinations are going to be for the first 2-3 years and make unique CGs for those, but have #1’s many layered scene as a backup. This has a replayability benefit/drawback to it though, since it could be quite a bit of work to experience all the scenes. 5. Probably in addition to #1… Have one unique scene per waifu for the first year you add them, and Genie of course with his stamina can chain them back to back if needed. You could have it as a sort of “final initiation/celebration” Basically I’m thinking you want to keep it to 1 CG x N(waifus) permutations, or at most that 1 master CG + N CGs, one for each waifu. That keeps this from blowing up the amount of work to do.

I will just wish you much sleep and many good dreams to inspire you, you sound like you need it!

One can imagine that the celebration would be an opportunity for people to get together, share their stories and celebrate the passing of the old year and the beginning of the new. So the scene could be illustrated with a CG showing (rather like the feast at the end of every Asterix comic book) the genie, his X wives, and all the game's secondary protagonists (guards, bazaar vendors, masters of ceremonies. ...) gathered around a large table drinking, eating and even dancing (it would always be the same image, with places left empty until the genie is married to such-and-such a woman or has met such-and-such a protagonist). Then, just before the countdown to the New Year, the genie would choose the woman or women with whom he wished to spend the New Year in private. Again, this would be a unique illustration, with zones left empty depending on the people the genie chose to accompany him.

Next week it'll be post number 300! Amazing!!!

Cool ideas. Let's discuss this some more then. The thing you suggested with a layered CG did cross my mind. The problem is I only see this working for an "after sex" CG. For the sex scene itself I just don't see how I can do this well. That is the main problem actually, the actual group sex scene itself for 6 girls + Genie would be difficult enough to write and illustrate, but we are talking about a context reactive scene. There are no limitations in the game on which girl you are allowed to pursue first and that presents a big problem. Also whatever solution I decide to go with at the end I want it to be an elegant one. Last thing I need is a messy code with too many variables which will be hard to test properly and could cause immersion braking bugs later. Just so that you know I read your suggestions thoroughly several times. But the way I want to try and do this (at least right now) is as follows: I want to give the player an option to "plan the New Year party", giving an option to choose as many guests as the player wants. This means, if your harem has zero girls you can celebrate alone (or not at all). Afterwards when you have more girls under your command you will be able to add more. The party would start with a dinner. The girls will be sitting at the table (your layered CG basically). Coding, writing and illustrating this will take a bit of effort, but it's pretty straightforward stuff. Second phase of the celebration will be sex on the roof while waiting for the fireworks. At this point it will be just sex scene after sex scene with each girl, with the player selecting the order and the final girl getting the happy ending. Having party with all 6 of your wives will result in an extra CG with Genie and the girls watching the fireworks together, exhausted but happy. Having 1x1 sex scenes one after another is not exactly an orgy, but that is the only way I can see pulling this off at the moment. What do you think?

akabur

Thank you Ace, you are truly are the best :)

Originally I thought of a similar (more or less) idea, with the girl's butts facing the viewer and a fireworks at the background... I will probably go with something different though. Maybe. Probably... Things tend to change a lot when I start writing and illustrating ideas. Sometimes I realize that stuff I thought was golden, is simply not working. And sometimes stuff I thought was not good enough actually fits much better. I will keep thing on this thought-out this week. ^^

akabur

Trevor, honestly, you know exactly what I need. Thanks :)

akabur

Hm... To tell you the truth I like the idea with the feast... Having only the girls for the feast is what I am thinking right now, but having extra characters there sounds so wholesome T_T Dammit, the more I think about it, the more I want to do a feast illustration like that. Having more and more people there every year would be so damn cool.

akabur

Just so you know I have no extra celebration plans. :)

MrLazare

It should be up to us to find something to thank you for your soon-to-be 300 posts.

Ragnarok

Yeah, I think that works. It really does need to be constrained in a major way because at the end of the day you can only draw so much and with all the possibilities one could legitimately spend a year on it if it isn't constrained. If you feel like it's somehow still lacking, here's some ideas. With the goal of making it feel more substantial/real, I would imagine that during the dinner it would be great to have two or more versions of each girl's sprite in the CG- if they have a spot/layer that you're going to put them in, it shouldn't be too much additional work to add an alternate version where they're being a bit naughtier. Since it's CGs, special new years outfits should be on the table. I'm thinking it would need to be special outfits since we don't want it to correspond to the dress up mechanics (again way too many variants to draw). Plus it's one more thing to buy and a gate the player if they want to enjoy the scene. Poor Genie might only be able to watch it by himself if he doesn't have the funds to spare, lol. To save effort the design should be a surprise and revealed only in the CGs and only shown in the special scenes. Maybe wearable versions are something you can add in later in a V1.x+ state. I agree on the second phase 100%. It's unfortunate, but 6^6 possible CGs is impossible! I think the option to set the order and whose scenes you want to watch will be fun. There's an opportunity for some unique lines if you want to get creative with the dialogue, but again I would limit that to some major/obvious ones. E.g. if someone goes after another girl who just got fucked in the ass, there's some complaining as she gets on her knees to suck it. Or particular personalities that are competitive/animosity between harem members, e.g. Iris vs Jasmine. One being smug about getting to go first, and the other riled up to outperform what she just watched. I'm certainly excited to enjoy the harem dynamics as each of the characters you write are always really well done and them interacting with each other is something I'm majorly hyped for. If you really want to go the extra mile, you could have more than one version of the orgy scene with everyone, maybe a first, second, and third that gets progressively more debauched over the years to show the harem's progression into degeneracy! That sounds super fun and worth working toward late game. This sort of discussion is always really fun for me, so if you want to keep bouncing ideas off of each other, I'm always around in PMs.

akabur

Awesome piece of art! Yes, it conveys this idea perfectly!

akabur

Thank you for all the suggestions. A few were absolutely unrealistic to implement but that is OK since you have very little information on the story and other things. But it was still interesting to read, and a few of your suggestions really did give me a pause (in a good way) and made me reconsider some stuff. As I write this the week is almost over and I pretty much has settled on how exactly I want to do this. I plan to talk about it in length in the upcoming Monday Post. Let me your thoughts after you read it.

Nice

If it were a birthday you could light a candle in those special candle holders, but new year not so sure, fireworks might not be best placed there :)
