Log inBig Changes as Lustfall Concludes! What Comes Next?
With Lustfall commissions in the works but nothing yet to show off, there isn’t much sense in doing a traditional Development Log like I normally would in the middle of the month. This is a good opportunity to instead open this up and share some plans with how I’d like to change things moving forward. With the end of Lustfall (not to mention the completion of Lust Knight Lisa a good few months ago), the goals and tier rewards are out of date. Here are some things I have in mind, since I want to offer something to people helping me out in between projects without overloading myself doing so.
The Goals / Milestones
First thing that I want to do is break things down into more manageable, less project dependent milestones. It’s important that these milestones are both attainable by the Stars (as opposed to a huge jump like they are now) AND goals that I can deliver on without putting abrupt stops to what I happen to be doing at the time they are reached.
The “Lustfall first” goal, for example, would be something that I would have had to halt the development of my other projects to do, which might be counter to what people excited about said projects actually wanted by showing their support in the first place.
These are the kind of milestones I am thinking about:
CYOA Erotica ($400) - This is an idea that I’ve had for a while. The plan is to start a kinky erotica (a very spicy idea in mind) and then open it up to the voters at every “decision point” to see what actions happen in the next month’s chapter of the story. Probably post once or twice a month with a long running poll for subs to influence where it goes. No matter what choices are made, there will always be juicy consequences in the next part.
Bimbo DOOM ($500) - The new longer term project. Made in Godot 4, this game will be an erotic 2D FPS in the style of the original DOOM games. You, as the player, will have to navigate various levels with various tools to contain the bimbo outbreak (by turning them to stone, sealing them in latex, etc...) before they can turn you into a bimbo! There’s even the possibility of “sexecutions” that will give you the option of giving the contained bimbos a good, quick fucking to get your health and ammo back and traps that can cause YOU to become sealed for a bit.
Bimbo DOOM Old Demos Public ($600) - The old versions of the Bimbo DOOM WIP would be made public to help advertise and entice people to sub for the latest versions. Pretty part and parcel for these types of projects if other SubStar games are to be a good indicator for it.
CYOA Monthly Illustrations ($650) - This will bring in illustrations (likely commissioned, maybe self drawn) to those spicy CYA Erotica segments from the $400 milestone that subs of any paid tier have the privilege to enjoy.
Lustfall BAD END CGs ($700) - If we hit this milestone, I will also reach out to artists and commission illustrations for the bad ends in Lustfall, so those that are still here for the game once it’s complete have something to look forward to. Shared here with subs first, I’ll release an updated version of the game with the gallery updated once a good chunk are ready.
That’s what I am thinking in terms of the milestones for now, based off what other people who are making games are offering. Any sort of preview images and WIPs for the commercial games will be reserved for the higher tier subs (like the Total Progress Report), but I am going to open the devlogs up to the public so people can actually tell what I am doing without having to first subscribe. Locking the devlog behind the paywall was a pretty silly idea, all things considered.
The New Tiers
Obviously, the tiers will require a bit of a mix-up in order to better accommodate the new milestones and the fact that Lustfall is now complete, so these are the ideas I’ve had about that:
FREE tier - Email and Notifications, pretty much like how it’s used now.
$1 tier - Removed going forward. With the payment processor fees, there’s barely any of it coming to me to begin with and I don’t have anything of interest to offer. Those on the $1 tier will be able to stay on it for as long as they like, but I’ll be hiding the option for newcomers.
$5 tier - Access to the CYOA Erotica and the ability to vote in the poll! Since most of the people voting are already subscribers, this makes it so people who are reading and interested in it are the ones that are influencing it. With the Bimbo DOOM milestone, this also gives subs access to the sub-only demos!
$15 tier - Same as the $5 tier, but votes are worth DOUBLE and you get a copy of commercial games on release just like how it already works today.
$25 tier - Same as the $15 tier, but votes are worth TRIPLE and you get exclusive access to special cheats for games that have them, (Bimbo DOOM will have a cheat mode for things like infinite ammo, etc...).
$30/$40/$50 - Functionally the same at the $25 tier, but available for those who want to give a little more. Not sure if there’s a way to do it outside of specific tiers, so these are available to address that.
There might be some other things I come up with if they seem doable (NPCs named after subs, weapons/items/armors based on sub suggestions, ect...) but for now this is what I came up with after doing some research for similar minded projects. I know people enjoy my writing, which is why I came up with the CYOA (Choose your own adventure) idea since I want to provide something to subs periodically, and I can’t always promise something big like a new demo.
With all that laid out, nothing is set in stone, so your feedback is appreciated both here and in the discord. I hope you all are excited for the new games and stories I have planned future! Thank you all again for your interest and support over the years!
Stay kinky~
