Fall update - Yes boss, I can confirm I did nothing.

Last post I said I had found a schedule where I could work on my game again, and I was hoping to have a playable release by the end of the summer.  I should know better than to make such claims.  It wasn't two weeks after that, and my boss called me up and said my full time work from home job was being flipped back to full time in the office.  I didn't take it so well.

After a lifetime in the office, you'd think going back wouldn't be a big deal.  Needless to say, it's been harder than I expected.  And my side projects like this have not received much love since.  So, no update on the game.  I would like to start posting here a bit more often at the minimum, however.  Nothing worse than a dead website.  Er, well, okay, lots of things worse really, but I have some control over this one.

So, chalk this up as a non-update. But figured I'd at least check-in.



Since I have nothing "new" of my own, let me offer some filler content y'all might have missed:


1)  This is a link to several old JSK flash games, with many of them at least partially translated into English.  Good chance you've seen one or more of them if you're here.  If you don't know JSK, I'd encourage you to try the last few. Just be aware there's some seriously not okay non-consensual rape in there.  If that's a trigger for you, skip this one.

I'll add that I have some fond memories of these games, but going back & playing the oldest ones, wow, they really are a bit rough around the edges.  Goes to show how much better they've gotten over the years.  If you don't want to play through all of them (and I don't blame ya), maybe just try the newest ones.  Oh, and be sure to check out the FAQ further down in one of the folders.  Some of the games you have to know what dialogue options to pick in order to get all the possible endings.



2) Enlit3D is working on a single game engine, but he seems to be building two games at once inside it.  The 'main' game of the two is a turned based combat/card/exploration game.  And that's fine and all, but the game that interests me more is the fighting game he calls Scuffed Rumble.  Which for a while, it looked like he wasn't going to release at all.  Fortunately, he recently released a public demo through his Patreon.  It's here.



3) Mr Z has been working on what I would call a "filler" game - IE, a small game to keep his Patreons engaged until his next big game is developed enough to have a playable demo.  That small game has shaped up nicely.  It's much better than I expected when he pitched the original concept.  Seriously, if I said "3D Pac-Man, but the ghosts are trying to rape you" - would that really sell you on the concept?  Being tied up and running around a maze avoiding sex doesn't sound like a winner, but it works.  It's much better than I can describe in a paragraph anyway.  

He's got it listed on Steam, which I believe means he is getting close to releasing it as a stand alone game.  If you haven't checked out Dungeon Coup, now is probably the time.  We're reaching the point where the free demos stop being free for a bit to build hype.  Also, if you like it and want to support him, he would love it if you pre-ordered a copy on Steam.



That's all I've got for now.  Stay well!

  1. an "empty" update is much more filling than years of silence, imho. Good to see you have and maintain a job at least, I guess.

    Half-joking question time: would you say your games contain okay yes-consensual rape then?

    1. Lol, fair point to be sure! One of the things I was going for way back in the day was how to make a game with physical sexual content as a focus, but not have the player be a rapist or make yet another game over Ryona/Guro sex game.

      I'm not going to claim I succeeded by making female characters and having this combat reverse-rape vs. be raped system, but I wouldn't call it a failure either. Somehow it doesn't trigger the "RAPE" flag the way other games do. But that's very subjective, just because it doesn't trigger me doesn't mean someone else would think the same.

    2. It is subjective, yes. Let's be honest: non-con content in fiction is a very touchy subject, and for good reason. But there are, like, different levels of rapey content, you know? The kind of games where the protagonist gets broken, traumatized, you see them suffer, that kind of stuff... yeah, that's a hard pass for me.

      On the other hand, there are the games where the protagonist is being forced into sexual acts by the enemies, and clearly does not like it at all, but it's all more casual; they are more annoyed than anything else. I feel like your games fall into this category, and that's why I like them.

      Then again, most people would be quite right to believe that rape is rape, end of story. So there's that.

    3. I definitely have to second how much more I prefer the "lighter" rape in your game (non-con stuff still tends to be a VERY delicate line in porn for me). The LotTO girls seem comfortable with sex, and seem more annoyed with all the horny enemies than actually traumatised.

      Based on "gallery" options after beating an Act, I like to headcanon that all the girls are honestly DTF in general, but its the situation that means indulging it becomes a hinderance to saving everyone, which is their focus.

  2. Nice to see you again! Even if it's not a content update it's always nice to hear what's going on with you. Hope you'll get used to the office sooner rather then later

    Much love <3

  9. I can't believe it's almost 9 years since the snake was introduced. Still remember when I first found your page and games (around release of Chapter 2).

    Here's me, still hoping a new version will be released once and you're doing well
