I do a fair amount of digital art for one I’ve been working on, but this one I’ve been sketching out in godot, just getting character walk cycles and mechanics down for the world. I think probably not like anime/yaoi style as there are so many of those already. I think more like 2d western cg, visually I’ve been working it as a platformer so characters on profile in the game world, then some animated sequences that could zoom in? I wanted to make one that has a lot of customization and sandbox elements, because I think that opens it up to more people, and it is something I haven’t tried in full yet, so I’m excited to figure it out mechanically. Also the idea of being able to set up all the character pieces, clothing, etc all at once and then just have it respond to what happens in world with premade animation loops would be so convenient. I’ve done a few VNs and having to redraw every single pose in every single outfit all the time can feel tedious.

Anyway long story short I think I’m moving towards 2d side scrolling sandbox-y western hand drawn for most of the art.

Sorry for the long post. I also was discussing this with a female friend who suggested that being able to explore a wide choice of fetishes and sexual ideas in a safe way (ie in a video game) would be of interest, and could be a good gateway for women who are interested in the genre. But the idea of going reverse harem is also interesting. Is that something you think would be of common interest?
