From dsp3000…

‘Since my last blog update last week I would like to announce the proper title for my next game. ‘The Academy: Part 4B’ was just a working title based on chronology, but the game will officially be called “The Academy: A Date with Bridgette”.

To recap this game is designed to bridge the gap between the end of part four and the start of part five. It will also give more detail to the overall story and provide some clues and information which will prove useful for part five in the future.

So back to the present.

I’m exactly 1319 images into the production of ‘A Date with Bridgette’ so far. Which means this week I’ve created about 250 new images/pages. I’m pretty satisfied with that because I’ve had plenty of other things to do besides game creation lately.

What does this mean for the overall production process and when will the game be finished and released? Well, I predict this game will easily reach 3000 images and may reach 4000 before it’s all done, putting full completion around 3 to 4 months away. That means March or April 2018 at the earliest and that’s a long time to have to wait.

I started looking at the structure of the game a couple of weeks ago and had an idea. The game narrative is split into four stages. Each stage has multiple options, locations, outcomes and achievements. You need to pass each stage to progress on to the next. It’s like each stage is a game in itself.

You may see where I’m heading with this…

I’m proposing releasing each stage one at a time over four consecutive months starting in December 2017 and concluding in March/April 2018. Each stage will still be a significant size, with each release comprising a game of around 800-1000 images. I figure this would be a good way of keeping you all happy and as well as keeping myself motivated too.

Stage one is more or less complete which means, subject to a few technical details I should be able to release the first part of the new game within the next two weeks.

I hope this works for everyone.

While you all think it over I’ve shared a few more images from stage one which include a couple of the new characters you might want to meet.

This week, news from dsp3000 on his next game…

Hello again everyone. My last update was in October and I’m now in a position to reveal what my next game will be.

To recap, over the past 18 months I’ve released the first four parts of the Academy series of games. These are based around four consecutive days working and having fun at The Goodhead Academy. Part four of the series left off on Thursday afternoon and so in theory part five will start on Friday morning. However, those of you familiar with the story will know that one of the main achievements you could gain during part four was to get Bridgette’s phone number so you could ask her out on a date with you. I had thought about including a date with Bridgette as a final sequence in part four but shelved that idea because I wanted more time to really do it justice. Cramming it in at the end would seem a shame. I then thought about having the date as an element of part five, but again struggled with fitting it into the narrative.

So a while ago I came up with an idea which I think is much more satisfactory.

The date with Bridgette is going to have it’s own game. Think of as ‘The Academy : Part 4B’. It will be a full game that totally compliments the series as a whole and will also effect what happens during part five.

For the past few weeks I’ve been busy creating this new game and from a creative perspective it’s been great. I was getting a bit frustrated with the limitations of the Goodhead Academy location, but this new project has allowed me to introduce several new locations and a few new characters too. I’m actually quite excited about it. I don’t get excited very often.

At the moment I have completed well over 1000 images for a game which may even reach 4000 by the time I’m fully done with it. That will give the impression that it will be months before this game sees the light of day. But don’t despair, I’m in negotiations with Chaotic about exactly how and when this game will come out. It will be sooner than you expect. More on that next week though.

In the meantime, and as always, here are a few images to keep you all interested.

Leanna

Just a simple update today to summarize where I am at with the Leanna update.

For those of you who are not aware, I am planning to release an expanded version of Leanna : Breaking the facade very soon, mainly adding the option to choose you gender and ethnicity. There will also be some small expansions to the sex scenes.

There are currently 181 new images rendered. all of the non sex scene images are now rendered, so from here it’s just pure sex. I’m starting with the sex ending in Leanna’s bedroom, and I’m nearly done. I think there’s just over 100 left to do (plus animations of course, but that won’t add too much time).

Here’s a selection of what to expect.

Molly

One more bonus pic since I’m starting to work a little on Molly too.

At least one person was commenting on her ass, so let’s have a good look at it.

Poll

I’m regularly using Tumblr, but it’s been nearly a year since I tweeted something.

Out of curiosity, what do you use?

You can pick up to 2 answers.

So, after many weeks of deliberation, it looks like I finally have a full plan for my next group of games. I have plenty of conviction towards the characters, and it gives me some time to do the other, non-VDG things I must before the end of the year.

Mariana and Molly

I am going to give give both Mariana and Molly their own games. They are both very hot, and I really don’t want to downgrade either to a supporting role.

First up will be the Nascar game staring Molly. You will be working with her (an undercover police officer) to expose corruption in the sport, with Molly showcasing her considerable driving skill along the way.

Mariana will be getting her own game soon after. The reason why Molly comes first, is that I want to have much more time perfecting Mariana’s skin textures. There’s still something a bit ‘off’ about them to me. There’s a couple of solutions, but each is going to require lots of trial and error, which means more time. By the time I get a Molly game finished, she should be perfect though.

But what will she be doing? I’ve decided to expand the other premise I was considering with her (the one where you meet her in the hotel bar). In it, there was going to be the implication that she is some kind of international assassin. I’ve decided to just run with that as it’s got lots of potential, and also has a very different angle of how your romance progresses. It’s also a good reason to use lots of outfits I don’t normally get to, such as a leather catsuit. I can still keep her heritage and use the hacienda sets I have with this premise too.

I also like how these ideas could combine together into one big story arc. Tlaero and Mortzes game seem to be aiming to some sort of crossover where each of the women’s superpowers come in useful. It would be fun to do something inspired by that – Leanna as the intrepid reporter, Molly as the driver, and Mariana as gun wielding kick ass assassin. That would be a cool team.

(BTW, both images above are 1920×1080 if you want to use them as wallapapers)

Members section

Last year, I made April and Violet for members section. While I enjoyed it, it was clear that I lost some conviction towards it, as I really wanted to be working on Leanna. I suspect that, if I started working on a big members section game now, something similar would happen as I clearly want to get on with these two games.

So, as an experiment, this is what I’m going to try. I’ll work on Molly with the intention of it being a free game, but I’ll release it to members first when it’s done. Then, after a couple of week, or maybe up to a month, I’ll release it for free. At the same time as I add it to the members section, I’ll also add a bunch of smaller stuff. I’ll think I’ll release a bunch of mini game at the same time (similar to ‘Kelly Solo’ or ‘Strippers’), and also add a new pile of members area exclusive galleries. Between all of them, I think I should get a reasonable number of people signing. up. It’ll be an interesting experiment.

Poll

So, if I’m perhaps aiming for a game in the long run with Leanna, Molly and Mariana, that does make thing a little more complicated for the player character. If you are technically playing as a different character each time, who do you play as in the game with all three of them?

An obvious solution is to have it be the same character in each game. some players have expressed reservations about this though, as it means you never really end up in a true relationship with any of them. This works with the ending of Leanna, as I never really felt you ended up that way at the end. You were just two grown adults you liked have lots of sex together. It’s not like, say, Betsy where a clear, fairly long term relationship was established.

So, what do you all think? Is it fine that the player character and Leanna only end up good friends and ‘sex buddies’? Or do you feel that it’s only worth it with a proper, romantic, at least fairly long term relationship at the end?

Update, November 6th

So, some interesting information has just come to light regarding my ability to make a 3D game. One of the main suppliers of my 3d assets has just released a new license which would allow me to use many more of my established characters in a 3d engine.

Just to clarify, by a ‘3d game’, I mean one that exists in a 3d environment. My usual games are a series of 2d images. A 3d game would be more like what you’d normally play on your game console. You can move around freely, explore the environment etc.

Let’s have new poll so I can gauge how interested everyone might be in this.

So, every year I have a plan to do some special Halloween themed pics….but it never happens.

I get caught up in something else, I’m busy, I’m working,- there’s always something.

Not this year though! I finally did it. For your enjoyment, here’s a series of spooky, scary and sexy images featuring some of my characters.

Poll

Couldn’t really think of a good spooky poll, but here’s one with monsters (it’s close enough).

Monster porn – a category of erotic cgi usually involving some sort of monster, frequently with very large genitals having sex with a human female.

Does this do anything for you?

It’s not my normal thing, but I’ll confess that I’m sometimes in the mood for it. 🙂

Enjoy your Halloween!

EDIT : Just for everyone who seems to be focusing on the poll – It’s not something I’m truly considering for the site. I just thought it would be a fun Halloween connected question to have. The main thing to take away from this post is the sexy images higher up. 🙂

Nothing too big and new to announce this week.

My future games

More images have been rendered for the final version of Leanna.

I’ve had a longer think about what my next pair of games could be. I still seem to be set on the extra, medium sized Leanna game for the next members section.

For the next free game, I do seem to be fully invested in the Nascar set game now. I have a nice pile of scenes planned, I even know how the ending would go.

Sadly, I’m still not too sure who the main focus of the plot should be. On Monday, I had a mid week blog post with a poll asking everyone if they’d prefer it to be Molly or Mariana. Ultimately, there wasn’t a definitive answer. Although Mariana just edged out in front, it was pretty much a third of the vote for each of them, and a third voting for ‘either/I can’t decide’.

I’ll just have to keep deciding in my head for now. One possibility I considered was maybe having both. Have the game split into two possible paths. Molly can be the undercover cop you team up with, and Mariana can actually be the villain who you can side with at an early point in the game (though you would be able to turn her good by the end). I’m not certain though. As I say, I’ll have to think.

One thing I do seem to have decided on is to keep the player characters separate. I have been suggesting that this game could be a direct sequel to Leanna – you’re playing as the same character, now working with Leanna and being sent to investigate a story. I think in the long term I’d just be writing myself into a corner though. I mean, is it going to be that way for every IRAY game? Having it be the same character every time seems restrictive.

Finding Miranda

Tlaero and Mortzes third game, Finding Miranda is now available to play on the site for free. This is probably a game most of you already know, but if it’s new to you, click here.

Poll

Since many of you will not have noticed the poll from Monday, I’m just going to try carrying it over to today.

Who would you prefer as the main focus of my next free game : Mariana or Molly?

Images in case you’ve forgotten which is which…

Mariana

Molly

More images in this blog post if you missed them.

If you also have a specific comment on either model, I’d also like to hear it below. If it’s a case of ‘I’d love her if only her [blank] was bigger/smaller/longer/shorter etc’, then let me know. It may be something I change. Polls are fun, but people making specific comments about something is even more useful. 🙂

Surprise! Time for another mid week update!

Next Members game

So, the main reason I’m posting today is that new information has come to light. I’m probably not going to have as much time to work on a new game for the rest of the year as I’d like. It’s due to my ‘other work life’, but it’s in a good way where lots of new opportunities will be opening up for me. Might also mean I get to have more free time next year, so more time with the site and making games.

I still want to do a new members game though, and still release it around the end of January as I normally do. I therefore need something simpler to do, but also something that’s substantial enough to be worthy of a new members game.

I’m therefore very, very heavily leaning towards the Leanna game I mentioned in the last post. In case you missed it, the game was an epilogue to the main game and mainly centered around a large scale dare game where Leanna would have to get from point a to point b across the site, completely nude, and in broad daylight.

It ticks all of the boxes for what I need from this game :

• I already have the characters designed.
• I have many of the sets ready to use. Others are easy to get.
• Since we already know the character and are in a sexual relationship with her, I don’t need to spend lots of time introducing and getting to know her etc.
• I’m enthusiastic about it because it appeals to my exhibitionism fetish

Next free game

So, what of Molly, Mariana and the Nascar game?

Judging by comments, Some of you seem to prefer Molly, and some of you prefer Mariana. I’m still open to the idea of Mariana being the main focus (I will find an excuse to use those hacienda models somewhere dammit!).

So, as a poll which would you prefer be the main focus of the game?

Here’s a little reminder of what they both look like before you vote.

Mariana :

Molly:

And one with them both…

Other stuff

Another 20 or so images have been rendered for the ‘complete’ version of Leanna.

Also, for those of you still wanting the Maddison and Lisette scene you may be satisfied before the end of the year (*cough*advent calendar*cough*).

Good news, everyone! I think I’ve finally decided what I’m doing next game-wise. Well,l one of them anyway.

Next free game

It’s looking like the next free game will be a large one based around the Nascar premise.

I think what was bugging me was the main character. As mentioned in a previous blog post, I have a bunch of Spanish hacienda style scenes and was looking for a reason to use them. This is why I leaned towards the main character being Hispanic.

She has a name now : Mariana. The problem with the character is that I just don’t think she looks the part though. There’s something a little stylized about her skin textures that I haven’t been able to change. I’m not fully sure what it is. Is she a little cartoony? Does she look more like a Poser character rather than an IRAY?

I was working on the plot a little and really liked the idea of it being a direct sequel to Leanna. I’m going with the idea that you are now working with Leanna at the TV station, aspiring to be a journalist reporter yourself. She gets a tip off regarding the corruption at the Nascar track and sends you undercover to investigate.

The plan was to have you befriend the driver, who would also be the main object of your affections. A secondary character would be Molly, who I introduced as a police officer in Leanna. She would also be undercover here. The three of you would team up and defeat the villain and expose the corruption.

I mentioned my reservations about Mariana above, so I though, “Let’s play around with Molly and see where this goes.”

I think I’m smitten.

So, basically, I’ve decided to make the game with Molly as the main character. It actually makes a lot more sense this way too!

She can be undercover posing as a driver. You go undercover too, you meet, recognize each other, then team up.

I feel like her look even matches the role better. The slightly Tom boy style. She suits being a grease monkey. She looks great in the outfit too.

Next members game

I still want to do a members game next though. The only thing about it that I’ve truly decided on is that I want it to be a bit shorter. Not a mini game, but maybe half the size of the standard. Miranda is a good example of this.

The girl group game is a possibility, though if there’s at least 3 main women, I don’t see how it can be short.

Re-purposing Mariana is a possibility. I can’t remember if I’ve even mentioned it before on the blog, but I was considering a game with Mia at one point. The whole thing would be set in a hotel. You meet the main female at the bar, but the whole thing is based around discovering who she really is. Evidence like a gun you can discover in her room hints one thing, her diary can indicate another. She would look good as a femme fatale type. I’ll try and render her in a black dress sometime this week.

I still wouldn’t be using the hacienda sets though. Maybe do a western? That would work, and be a little different for me.

I did mention a Lisette and Maddison game in previous week, but I’m less enthusiastic now. We’ve already had one threesome with them in Lisette’s game. Would an entire game based around the technicality of them touching vaginas this time be worth it?

I also thought an add-on to Leanna might be fun. Set after the main game, it could all be about a wild day you have. Maybe one of you challenges the other to get from one point of the city to the other, but completely naked. I’ve already mentioned that lots of stuff was cut from the streak ending in the main game. It might be fun to put them all together in their own game. Just nude Leanna trying to cross the city in the middle of the day. Using the subway, sneaking across the freeway, cutting though the park with sex along the way.

I need to have a good long think.

Leanna

Speaking of Leanna, the remaining renders for the ‘complete’ version of the game are well underway. Looks like there’s about 200 images to do, plus animations. Hopefully, it’ll only take a couple of weeks.

One of the issues players noted was that the homeless woman was too dark. I’ve re-rendered the images with her and made them a little brighter if you were curious.

Poll

One possibility I’ve been considering occasionally is doing an interactive erotic story, rather than the normal first person type I make.

In it, you would essentially play the role of a narrator, rather than being there. It would be a case of “After looking for a while, Jenny finds a cave.” Then you can pick ‘Jenny enters the cave’ or Jenny keeps looking’.

It would be a good way of doing the pseudo Tombraider game I made some renders of recently. It could be a good way of doing a fantasy game or superhero game too. Using the Egyptian characters and setting is also a possibility. Something I can make a little cinematic. I’d be willing to take suggestions.

It means you wouldn’t essentially be playing as character in it, but that also means I could probably produce the game much quicker, since I won’t have to do dialog choices or extra image for genders and ethnicities.

So, to summarize : It would be a game where you control the plot, rather than controlling a character in a game.

What do you think?

Today, dsp3000 returns with news on his next game…

Hello from dsp3000.

Since the release of my last game a few months ago it may seem to many that I completely disappeared off the radar. It’s pretty easy to do when you work under and anonymous online alias… Speculation about long vacations, nervous breakdowns and creative fallouts may have been rife, but the truth is that I have simply been incredibly busy in my real life.

Along with the ongoing ‘Academy’ side project, I have a very full professional and personal diary, so sometimes other things have to take priority. If I had been able to forsee just how labor intensive and time consuming creating this series has been so far, I may never have begun.  I’m thick skinned enough to take criticism, and I do really appreciate feedback. I’d also like to thank everyone on the forum for their support too. It is nice to read and cofirms that I do give a shit about my creative output.

Despite some accusations of supplying a broken and unplayable game, I was actually quite pleased that ‘The Academy: Part Four’ only had about four very minor coding flaws when it was released. About the same number of images that had gone corrupt during the file transfer over to Chaotic. As far as I could gather these minor errors were rectified pretty quickly. I should add that none of these glitches could have stopped gameplay. The game has never been broken, but it is complex and perhaps unrewarding if you don’t spend enough time exploring and experimenting.

One thing that I didn’t find time to complete was the official walkthrough. Santa did a pretty good job of finding everything in his walkthrough, but there was always some speculation regarding the Alicia elevator scene. 

The official walkthrough and character guide should now be available in the members section. It will confirm that there isn’t a coding error regarding whether or not you can successfully complete the game. The key issue is how much time you have to fit everything in. I have also sent over a couple of minor updates to the game. These concern a couple of slight dialogue changes with Megan, a spelling correction and a change to one of the checkfiles in the elevator relating to what happens if the alarm button is pushed. 

So what’s next from me? Well about three weeks ago I made a start on my next game. I’m about 300 images into the production at the moment and I’m hoping to find more time to work more intensively over the next few weeks. Then I’ll be in a position to provide more of an update.

In the meantime I’ve included a test image from my development folder.

See you all again soon.

dsp3000

Back again with a mid week blog post. It’s not too common, but I do do them every so often.

Some of this, some of that…

Some of you may have seen the Lara Croft character I posted on Tumblr on Friday. I decided to go ahead and do a short comic with the character.

I think where my own preference lies in terms of my next game is that I want to do something with some sort of action sequences. No necessarily something involving guns, the driving sequences in a Nascar game would also be a good opportunity, similarity fight scenes in a superhero themed game. It would be the next step in my games evolution after I added the third person camera angles option in Leanna. In this case you’d get the occasional ‘cinematic’ sequence of ten or so images, but most of the game would still be first person.

I’ll decide for certain over the next couple of weeks, but what I’m leaning toward right now is actually a Lisette and Maddison game for the members section, then a game with action sequences for a big free game in IRAY.

This could either be the game in the Nascar setting, something with superheroes, or a pseudo Tombraider one. Or maybe something else, of course.

With the Nascar setting, I already have a basic plot set up as well as the main character. I’m not too sure what role the player would serve in it though. The character’s introduction to the world so far is a bit too similar to what happens in Leanna, and I’d like something different.

For superheroes, the player character is actually the aspect I’ve thought the most about. You’d start of fairly neutral, but throughout the game your karma reflects your decisions. You can end up as a hero, or one of the villains. Different karma levels (evil or good) would open up sex with different characters, and even the tone of the sex – being intimate with a villainous female characters would be very different to sex with one of the morally upstanding ones.

If I went the Tombraider route, obviously I’d have to change some stuff. It’s a copyrighted franchise. There’s a 3D graphics artist I admire who goes by the name Epoch (https://www.epoch-art.com/). He had a pseudo Lara Croft character he calls Clara Ravens. Something similar could work, but it would still have to be different – I don’t want to just copy him. We can obviously have exploring tombs be a part of the plot, but there’s opportunities for other things, such as high class ballroom parties, hanging around her mansion etc.

So that’s where my mind is right now. I’m enjoying playing with ‘Lara’, but I might just be getting over excited because she’s a new character I just created. I’ll see how I feel about everything in a week.

Poll

So, would you be interested in a game with ‘Lara’?

Try not to think about it in a ‘versus’ sense where you would prefer one of the other premises instead. Just, in principle, do you think she’s hot, and does the basic idea sound appealing?
