So some people knew but recently I have been working on a new game. Working title OW:Conquest, most likely that will change be for the actual release.
Basic idea is to combine two strong games and make up there weakness. The first is Rance VII an epic game of conquest, but you don't really get more then one sequence of capturing and raping the princesses. Then we go over to Custom Slave Factory that specializes in the capturing and Raping, but the conquest part is rather pathetic. Combine both of those and you will have the basic concept down.
Unlike Otherworld in where i was learning the basics this will be a lot more compartmentalized out by a system of different stages being layered on top of each other and hiding and disappearing. This fixes about 25% of all of otherworld's bugs right off the top by not creating layering issues.
In the above example that is 3 separate stages. The world, the floating menu, and the text engine in that order stopping you from reaching the parts that your not supposed to reach. This creates a lot of other programming advantages that become technical so we will skip
The game is designed with 2 major components the day conquest period...
Where you will conquer other kingdoms, improve your lands, recruit troops basic conquest style stuff. The above picture is just a working version. All images are xml pulled and on the fly loaded. More on this later.
And a night training time where you build loyalty with the generals, princesses, and queens you have captured. No picture yet.
Expect more info tomorrow. Be advised this does not mean that I am not going to work on Otherworld but I am shifting my priorities.

This sounds awesome. Btw, do you have any info on Custom Slave Factory or a download link?
ReplyDeleteSweet! Sounds like an engaging premise. I look forward to seeing the results.
ReplyDeleteO.o
ReplyDeleteCOMBINING T.B.S.(turn based strategy) AND H-GAME sex scenes AND MAKING IT LONGER TERM F*** YEAH
(one of the only reasons I haven't played them before is I cannot read Japanese and that is crucial in any strategy game understanding what you are reading that is)
There was a pretty decent game in this genre a while back. I'd look it up again, but Hongfire isn't workin' too well lately. I want to say it was by Puzzlebox.
ReplyDeleteIs otherworld become dead end?
ReplyDeleteLooks like I will get another R&R game!
ReplyDeleteRape and Rule! Time to take it all!
Do you have any info on Custom Slave Factory or a download link?
ReplyDeleteI think it was a typo, I think it should be Custom Slave Fantasy... http://gaming.wikia.com/wiki/Custom_Slave_Fantasy_Special_Edition
ReplyDeleteOh.... I'm... very, very disappointed. Otherworld was shaping up quite nicely. This new thingy will just make progress on Otherworld slower, if it's to progress at all. One such project is about the limit for a single person, two is impossible, so lets not kid ourselves that there will ever be more than one or two updates to Otherworld.
ReplyDeleteIt is really great ! I wish you creative successes!
ReplyDelete...and sorry my english =)
Well that's sorry to hear because progress wasn't all that great and now it's even less.
ReplyDeleteSure under the hood did happen a lot but no new content in 8 months time and now with a new idea and the project management skills you posses it means that Otherworld won't even get half finished and that's a shame.
I'm still dumbstruck at how a game with such a great premise as CSF managed to be so utterly boring and grindy. It's like taking the greatest idea for a h-game and go around impementing it in the most asinine way possible.
ReplyDeleteI realize that it will take ages to finish (if it will be at all)OW:Conquest but I am still excited about the idea. I wish you win a million dollars at a lottery so you'll have more time to work on the game.
ReplyDeleteHey, great move in a different direction. I suggest developing the world of "Other World".
ReplyDeleteI really like this new idea, much more so then your current project, no offense. Personally I believe its better to work on multiple projects because if you are just slugging away at the same one day after day it gets tedious and I start inadvertently looking for excuses not to work on it. But up to now, great work. Keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI'll vote Custom Slave 4 as being generally the best of the series. The custom character functions as the primary character in a storyline, rather than just having you amass a collection of too-generic custom girls. Generally the CS series has two personalities for each age group (2), which just gets boring entirely too quickly.
ReplyDeleteSo, will it be the same as with the WhoreMaster and all other never finished games? Devs left to work with other projects?
ReplyDeleteShame really. But I understand you got tired after working so long on one project.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to see some sort of stable version of Otherworld first.
The last is 8 months old and the version I played was very buggy.
Interesting concept I look forward to how it turns out.
ReplyDeleteGatesofAmalgam: Probably. And those other projects die fast too...
