As mentioned in my yearly wrap up video I wanted to try some different stuff this year. One thing I have been playing around with the idea of a Umichan text based adventure game. based on what is written, the background and your player avatar would change. And since it is not Maiko there is more room for flexibility here. I already stared it a bit. seems pretty fun and easy to update.
I wanted to have a large part of the game outside, or in the cafe or various other shops because theoretically any one could enter. Unlike at the school where there would only be students and staff. Plus the story takes place right after the events of UMCH where the school get shut down for a while. This is the same time ARIA happens also.
The player character can be female or futa and would be able to have things like straight, futa, yuri, sex stuff. Most characters encountered will be described so it could theoretically be anyone or thing that fits the lore. The character can also select one of four main goals which will of kind of drive the overall objective of the game. But how to get there will vary even picking the same goal on different character because many of the events would be randomly generated.
below are some screenshots, some of the art is place holder.
I love the idea! Now I am really desperate to play this text based game. I played Trials in Tainted Space, Corruption of Champions, and Fall of Eden. Hope you take your time to make this new stuff and have your supporters help you.
Glad you like the idea nice to see interest in it. I never played Fall of Eden, I’ll have a quick look.
The idea seems pretty cool. I’m looking forward to it.
Should be fun
I have a super soft spot for text adventure games. I’m looking forward to it!
Hopefully will be good XD
Yes please
should have a little demo soon
An interesting and cool idea…almost like Rags but without the buggy interpreter.
Never heard of Rags. Will have a look at it.
It’s not really all that buggy, just a lot of poorly made stuff out there for it.
Rags is fine, but the hipnopics collective kinda took the engine and ran with it so most rags games involve mind control or transformation
never played a text based game but i’d love to try it. shoot for the stars!
Yeah would be good to give it a shot thanks
I really dig the idea! But… I kinda would prefer as a male, like in the rookie. Mostly because my personal main goal in such a game would be to bang Jenny. And get away with not paying…
And yes, I am aware I spelled Jeni wrong ^^
Was thinking about males but not sure how the avatar would work exactly for sex scenes. still brainstorming it.
Oh, nice. Didn’t even think you considered it since you already made a game with male main character, The Rookie. I would really like a game though that starts off as a male student at Nanako. Well, just gonna continue hoping that you get some creative wind out of that brainstorm that leads to something like that.
Sounds good man
Thanks
Sounds very good, but this game will be first person like the others umichan’s?
it’ll be more of less like in these screenshots. you will need your character and the text window. and probably some other options and stats on the sides.
Sounds awesome can’t wait to play it
Should be fun
Will we be able to play it on here for free or will we have to sign up in order to play it?
The first little demo will be posted here.
Text based games can be fun. Someone already mentioned CoC and TiTS, they’re good examples.
Some of the best ones have pictures accompanying sex scenes and/or plot points. Goblinboy’s games are good examples of this, should be able to find links on sharkslagoon or aifcommunity. Might need tads to play some of the games but it’s free
Thanks I’ll have to try some Goblinboy out.
Love the idea can’t wait for the end result good luck
Glad you like it should be fun.
You could call it UMCT (classroom texting) or something alike
Good idea thanks~!
Do you think its possible to implement the cup feature in the fighting game as well if you have time?
Still missing tons of art to be able to do that. would need different boob size stuff in pov and sex scenes. plus there is only 4 outfits in this text game.
Maybe in the end it will come out a fun game to play… Dunno what to think about it right now.
Just out of curiosity, have you ever considered RPGmaker to make some game?
I did consider a while ago it decided not too. From what I have seen from other rpg maker games out there, most likely none will actually bother play the game and just use tools to extract all the cg, and/or recode different stuff into the game. imo overall not a good use of my time to even bother.
Make you mad when someone mess your stuff, uh?
As someone that play those kind of games kinda often, i don’t see so much disregard about the gameplay, and most importantly don’t see the knowledge from the majority of users to modify them, i’ve never seen a remade/rewritten game. Hell… is hard enough that someone bother to translate them from japanese.
Not really mad, just a bit disappointing and demotivating. Even when it is not my stuff. It is an idea to perhaps revisit later.
it sounds fun can`t wait to play
Should have a demo soon’ish
Would you consider accepting written scenes like from TiTs and CoC? I know both of those games have their own forum’s where people/fans can submit their own scenes and if they are good enough they get plugged into the game.
yep I have forum section for it
htpp://spiralvortexplay.com/svp/forum/site-topics/umichan-text-based-adventure-game-ideas/
I approve this idea
How is this game coming along? 🙂
No progress heh. A victim to being made in flash.
