Okay, so! Naughty Doug is complete. Did you enjoy it? I certainly hope so. It’s launching on Steam on Tuesday, so hopefully a lot more people enjoy it then as well.
What now though?
Well, true to my prior form we’re taking a radical departure from current format! My next game will be (is) called ‘Incubus Rapture’. In it you will play the Incubus, one of the lords of hell currently in absentia as you run a motel in the middle of the desert. You will raise an army of succubi to spread your influence across an expanding zone of control – beginning with just the locale itself, but spreading steadily outwards.
It is written with a heavy, southern gothic corruption vibe – while still carrying my usual humour. Gameplay wise it swings towards narrative strategy over straight AVN. You need to manage your base, your resources and your followers – being sure your reach doesn’t exceed your grasp and that you don’t attract more heat than you can handle. At the end of each turn, once you’ve made all of your decisions that is a chance for numerous events to happen. Currently all events are repeatable, but once I have had the chance to expand the narrative a bit and start adding the love interests you should start to get a bit more progression.
One very important thing! Each character – including you – has a set of personality traits. This both control the choices made available to you and also prompt some automatic reactions. Personality can change over time as well (with your choices generally being self reinforcing). This is particularly important for your succubi. Not will they give entirely different experiences for nominally equivalent scenes, but they will actually perform differently when given different tasks.
Crucially, this is a very quiet system. You won’t get told one succubus or another is specifically high on Agreeableness, but you may find that one girl in particular is always up for whatever. I am hoping that this gives the game a real life to it.
Now, some of you will know that I have a second Patreon where I publish a second game (Too Lewd!), which also recently finished. The fact is I don’t have it in me to keep working on two games at once. So from here out I’m only going to be working on ‘Incubus Rapture’. I don’t have anyway to combine the two Patreons though, so I’m going to put it out on both accounts. To anyone who is subscribed to both, I encourage you to cancel one subscription and also submit for a refund. That’s not… a great option. But it’s literally all I can think of aside from just shutting one down. I’m sorry for the bother.
In anycase, subscribers can grab the game over here (all tiers, because launch): https://www.patreon.com/Voronica/posts/incubus-rapture-160812775?pr=true
Some systems may be a little rough, so let me know if anything is indecipherable or otherwise buggy!
I hope you enjoy!
