Intro
Hello I am FunBearDude and today I’d like to show you an upcoming adult visual novel,
the game is called NEW MAID and its all about a rich dude banging a new maid,
I will put down some details on how I would want it done, and any feedbacks are welcome

I am a freelance 3D artist with a few years of experience but this is the first time I am making a video game,
I’ve been tinkering with this project on and off for the past two years,
mostly on weekends and holidays, when and if I am not too busy with day jobs,
so far I’ve worked out a pipeline to steadily churn out CG frames for still panels and animations,
and I’ve written most of the storyline and dialogues,
right now I am working on figuring out how Renpy works so I could get a demo out soon,
so I think maybe it’s a good time now to reveal the game,
and put out some previews to get some feedbacks,
since I don’t have experience with gamedev or NSFW content creation,
there could be some pitfalls and oversights in my design,
I would appriciate if you guys can point me the right direction

ok about the game itself,
I want to make it pretty short and simple on the story but with a lot of actions,
kind of like the cheesy old school porn videos or a Michael Bay movie,
the whole game only got two characters, and its taking place entirely in an office scene,
since I am mostly a 3D artist and not a proper writer or programmer, I think this approach might be best for me,
also because this is my very first game, so I really wanna get it out sooner and learn the experience,

so ya, simple story and lots action, that’s what it gonna be

Story (Part one) (spoiler!)
so the base plot is like this,
our dude is a rich guy in his manor office,
he is running a family business and he is a chairman of some sort,
tho he’s living a luxury life style he’s got a secret debt problem with his gambling habit,
the debt is gotten so bad now he has been secretly selling some family treasures to cover it,
then one day he realized he gonna need a large sum of money to send his daughter to famous college or something,
if he doesn’t find a way to come up with the money soon, his shit show gonna be blown wide open,
he will become a family disgrace and that will end badily for him,
now there is this super rare ruby in his family vault,
and his plan is to look for a rich buyer for it, to solve his problem for good,
so on the day he is supposed to meet this mysterious buyer in his office,
he sits at his desk and gazes at the ruby, wonders how things gonna turn out,
then a new maid shows up, says she is told to come clean the office,
and our dude thinks, sure why not, I am meeting this buyer soon, the office could use some cleaning up
so he lets the maid does her thing, and puts the ruby back in his safe,
now this new maid is very young and super hot, wearing this super skimpy maid outfit,
she then seduces our chairman dude, pretend to make some mistakes and asks for forgiveness,
our dude says ok I am not gonna fire you just yet,
but still I have to give you a little punishment as a warning so you remember,
then of course the punishment went too far and before long mr. chairman is pants down banging the new maid,
the young maid is worried, what if someone walks in on us? I might get fired if we are seen together,
chairman says don’t worry girl I am the boss around here, nobody is firing anybody unless I say so,
so he keeps banging the maid in different corners of the office, trying different positions,
finally he is done banging, cums big time, and lays down on the floor with the maid,
chairman relaxes and then dozes off,
but wakes up two hours later with a crazy headache, while the new maid is nowhere to be found,
there’s a bust sculpture broken in half on the floor, and chairman got a large bump on his forehead,
very quickly the dude realizes he’s been robbed,
he crys in dispair as he found out his safe is cracked open and his rare ruby gone..
(the end)

Design
ok the first part of the game has a pretty linear path,
just a bunch of dialogue to click thru to set up the background and mood,
and visually I am try to do kind of comic book style paneling, to help with storytelling,
I will put in more story details to the dialogues where its needed,
generally I wanna go for a funny goofy vibe, with some laughs put in between story beats,
later when the maid has become submissive, the game enters a ‘free use’ mode,
where player get to choose between a bunch of different porno action sequences to enjoy,
each with some dialogues, still frames, and animations with 2 or 3 different camera angles,
right now I got around 10 free use sequences planned and already in production,
but this section can be further expanded if needed,
when the player is done enjoying free use mode,
he can click a ‘finish her’ button anytime to get to the conclusion,
where the game will go thru a final epic banging animation, with tons of cum splash all over..
well, its how I would want it done anyway, not sure if I can really pull it off,
if it proves too hard to do, guess maybe it will just be a still frame with lots cum then..
after that the game goes thru one final dialogues section where chairman finds out he’s being robbed and game over

so the game should have a rather basic linear-branch-linear structure,
I will try to get all the linear parts done first,
and I am planning to put together a demo with the entire story in it,
tho maybe in lower image resolution and maybe only 2 or 3 free use sequences to choose from,
with only one camera angle for each animation,
hopefully that will be enough to draw attentions and wishlists
current plan is to sell the game on Steam and itch.io, and maybe some other platforms too



Final thoughts
with the bulk of my time tied up with my day job,
I can’t quite confidently put out a clear timeline on when everything gets done,
I mostly do vfx/post-production type of jobs in recent years,
and from time to time I have to crunch for a job, sometimes weeks at a time,
before I can return to work on my gamedev project,
at this rate my game could take long long time before it can see the light of day,
so now I am thinking about maybe starting a fundraise project for it, like Patreon or Subscribestar adult,
and see if I might be able to gather a little bit of funding for the game,
at least enough for me to no longer rely on my day job to fund the game and everything else,
but I also heard rumors that NSFW projects are getting banned a lot lately on fundraising platforms,
so I could use some advice on how to safely go about it

the past two years has been a rather intense period of time in my life,
back before I started this project, I usually just play video games or binge tv shows in my free time,
never really wanted to create anything for myself,
this project has put me in a new headspace of intense digging and researching,
pushing me into doing stuff I never realized I need to get good at,
and I am actually quite happy doing all the new stuff, since its my own thing and not for a client or boss,
so now I really kinda wish this new direction can become a full time job for me,
any advice on how to make it happen would be most appriciated


thank you all

Good luck on your first game. The animations look nice, and well made.

-------------- Story --------------

I don't know if your game ends after he banged his maid and is robbed? In that case you successfully contained the story, but it will also be very short to the point where its hardly a game and more an animated video where you need to click to make it progress.


If the story isn't ending there, I'd say that for your first game, try and contain its length and size. You will learn a lot from just making something that is fairly short. Have you ever played a role playing game? There is a term called a "one-shot", that is a story that is self-contained story limited to a single adventure.

Your first game could probably follow that path. That way you don't risk overextending yourself trying to create an engaging narrative with a complex story.

In this case, the story line, I suppose, is to get back the ruby. You don't need to do much else than that, though already this may be a fairly daring project depending on the length of it. You mention he has a daughter. Could some rich business man be interested in buying her first time? - Though his morals are tattered, perhaps he'd consider it.
Anyway, try and think about how the MC will solve the "threat" of the story - his imminent bankruptcy (both financially and morally it seems).

I'd love to see agency from the player within these decision, but this is your first game, so don't go too ham on it.

-------------- Finances --------------

My guess is that most developers don't earn a lot on their adult games. Many probably didn't earn anything or even broke even on their first project.

You probably know it already, but this place is pirating adult games. And to be completely fair, most adult games aren't worth paying for. I would've been very disappointment in most of the adult games I played if I had bought them. A few sticks out from the pile, but they're also the best. That is games like Eternum, Summertime Saga, Claire's Quest and so on. Games that has experienced developers, skilled artists and near-professional writers.

So, as a new dev, you should probably not rely too much adult games to make you a living. At least not for the first project.

-------------- Steam --------------

I wouldn't rush things too much either on Patreon or Steam. There are a ton of adult games on steam, and they don't get much attention there I think. Moreover, why buy it, when you can pirate it here? In either case, I doubt you'll earn all that much unless your game really shines. It must be above the average. A demo with a few animated shots... I mean, that doesn't really cut above the average, right.

-------------- Developing--------------

I'm not experienced with this, but there are many good people on this site that can help with it. They might be able to help with developer burn-out and perhaps put a plan together that will se you push out regular updates. But yeah, I don't know too much about this part.

hey thanks for your feedback!
ya first of all, the story is indeed intended to be one-shot in structure,
altho it could in theory be extended for more episodes or sequels,
it gonna depends on wether or not people are interested for more and how the game performs,
so we will see what happens down the road i guess

when i first started thinking what kinda story i wanna do,
i was thinking about some great mystery and adventure and a whole bunch of characters and plotlines,
but very soon i realized thats just not practical for a first game,
so i was very consciously trying to scope down the story and make it doable for an inexperienced solo dev

on the issue of raising visibility and funding on platforms,
i gotta admit its an entire different world i know very little about,
i heard ppl say it just have to take time, and you just have to keep making games and keep fighting on,
your first game's gonna suck no matter what so don't let it bother you too much,
so guess i will just see what other devs are doing and try to do the same and see what happens then

Seems like you have some good reflections about your own inexperience, the limitations of the game and you put your expectations in order. You can't really fail now, only learn.

hey thanks man i am sure all the devs out there are doing the best they can,
i have done work on 3D before so that helps,
tho i mostly work on environment and props, haven't done that much work on characters,
only done a little when i was back at school, but they were all cartoony stuff,
this is the first time i work on semi-realistic human characters,
they are so tricky to get right..
and also gotta learn to write story and programming,
its been rather overwhelming~

dude we all know there's tons of maid game out there,
but if you can not tell that this new NEW MAID game looks way way better than anything we've seen before,
then seriously you need to have yours eye checked up by a certified doctor...
just saying
Perhaps my opinion was hasty, there are many differences between these games, there's a male protagonist and there's a girl. But overall it still looks very similar. But I don't think it looks interesting, in a visual novel the first place is the story and the visual part just serves the story. Just sex scenes without building relationships and tension between characters is not very interesting to me, I'd rather just watch porn videos then. Maybe it looks good, but in the game I gave as an example everything is done on a high level too. And I don't like this style, too much post-processing, and not a fan of such animations in a visual novel, I'd prefer more renders to these looping movements.

hey thanks for the intput, was exactly looks for feedbacks like this,
well the taste for art style is totally subjective of course, each to their own

i am in the middle of rewriting and refining the story and dialogues,
tho personlly i am not a big fan of VNs that take forever to click thru without seeing some good stuff,
you do have a solid point here i can see,
i will try to make sure the premise got properly fleshed out,
and characters don't bang too fast until timing is right

tho the game and story is gonna be short, i will try my best to make it a solid and entertaining experience

hey i really appriciate your enthusiasm man~

i don't have Patreon set up yet,
i kinda got the impression that Patreon has become rather uptight with NSFW content in recent years,
and i feel like my kind of story and theme may not play well with their censorship

so i am looking into other viable funding options,
and maybe try to get one set up when i got a playable demo out later

so stay tuned!

hey Bear I just want to tell you that you are on the right track!
don't be too distracted by the noises, there's no way you could make a game that pleases everyone out there anyway,
just focus on your strength and you will find your audience in due time
looking forward to your demo!

If you want to make money on it you need to find your audience, for example this guy has almost 300 subscribers, and subscription costs 20-45$, and he doesn't even make games but just comics
