[AdultSciFi]

Story:
A super-massive black-hole is continously expanding in the center of a universe on the verge of collapse. Entire civilizations have been destroyed, others have escaped... for a while. No one is safe.

You are the leader of a world facing obliteration. Will you find a way to escape the impending doom?

Game:
Like other Visual Novels, you will make choices from time to time in the story. I will try to make a VN with less text and more images than the usual visual novels. I will try to make an adult game that includes serious subjects but still fun to play 

Technicalities:
I use Unity (Free license for the moment), DAZ Studio, Terragen and Blender. I make my renders with a GTX 980.

Challenges:
I've never programmed in Unity but VNs are not too difficult to program. I have programmed in Visual Basic for as long as it has been available so the move from VB to Unity is not too difficult for what I need to do. My native language is french so I will have some difficulties with the text.

About Me:
I'm from near Montreal, Canada. I have been programming almost my whole life (46 years old as of now). I have made some attemps at making games but my projects were always to big for a single person. This is why I try to make a simpler game for now.

Here's an example image from the game:

Hello! Another day, another render. Here is one of my current favorites images from my game. It took a while to get the lightning to match but I love the result.

Ship rendered in DAZ, background rendered in Terragen.

The Terragen Beta trial ends in a few days. I just hope that the final version will be available soon because it renders faster than the current version.

does adult in this instance mean actually really childish but designed to make the human equivalent of undescended testicles get sexually horny for computers

[Superb Joe]

Also I've never had sex in my life (with another person) so to make a game with sex I have to rely on "research material" So some positions may not be humanely possible but I'll try to do my best...

ah, damn

[Superb Joe]

sorry for trolling you, i hope you find ways to seamlessly and unintrusively weave sex into uh, a bitter struggle to survive

[AdultSciFi]

Hello Joe, the game's story will involve philosophical subjects treated in a mature manner like we could see in most Star Trek series. There will be little humor and serious decisions to make. The sex will be added in ways that fit with the story but will be optional for those who just want the "regular" stuff.

[Armageddon]

You can do it.

[Grhyll]

You seem to have a great talent in 3D.

Not too sure about the virgin lesbian fantasy, but well, you're free to do whatever you want.

i'm sorry for being rude. good luck, AdultSciFi

Yes I can!

Thanks, but most of the current 3D models are models that I have purchased pre-made. I tried to do some models myself but it took too much time for one person. If enough people support the game on Patreon I will be able to hire 3D modelers for custom models.

For the "virgin lesbian fantasy", according to statistics of one of the largest adult video websites the third most searched keyword is lesbian and according to other stats, "The largest consumer group of Internet porn is men aged 35 to 49." so I would say that it's not strickly a "virgin lesbian fantasy".  

But the game will include people of different sexual orientations.

i'm sorry for being rude. good luck, AdultSciFi

No problem   Thanks!

Looks like Mass Effect with porn. Surely wasn't expecting that on TIGS.

The art direction looks pretty good, very impressive graphics for a Unity game. Good luck!

Sexy times aside, I'm actually much more interested in how you're going to deal with the supermassive black hole that's engulfing the entire universe. Curious as to what scientific leap/avenue you pursue to circumvent the inevitable destruction.

probably lots of cumming

so much cum the universe sticks together again

There's no doubt an audience does exist for this type of fantasy. I was rather speaking about an "ethical" point of view, I fear those relationships will be represented in a very stereotypical way, the kind of way which fill people minds with wrong ideas and can go as far as harming actual lesbians. Of course I don't know what you will actually do, and either way it's not a very big deal, since I guess this game (if finished) probably won't have an enormous reach (or rather, it will reach people that may already have those twisted conceptions of lesbian sexuality).
My point is not to be rude with you, and I won't harass you for doing this, but I think that even in porn a form of morality can be reached, which can only be beneficial to all of us. (And maybe it's your objective, but I didn't get this feeling reading your explanations.)

Thanks but the graphics are static pre-rendered images so they will mostly look the same with any game (or not) engine.

It may or may not be fully scientific like many stories that deal with extreme events. Especially stories involving time travel with paradoxes (ie Doctor Who, Back to the Future). I'm not saying that I will have time travel but I'm saying that sometimes it's difficult to remain scientific.

I have thought about those questions and I am trying to do an improvement on the genre (albeit maybe not a major one). I agree with your view of the reach and audience. It will be a very limited audience with people who already have preconceptions like most other games in the genre. If you want you will be able to see for yourself by playing the very beginning of the game when I release the first work in progress version which should be within a few weeks.

[Grhyll]

Well if you want opinions (and effectively do an effort to go away from stereotypes), you can reach to me again when this first version is done!
Anyway, I appreciate your tone a lot, staying calm and not reacting aggressively to what people say, it's refreshing.

I will surely appreciate everyone's opinions and comments on the game. I will evaluate and think about them all. Some may lead to changes in the game. That's in part why I want to get it out as a work in progress version as soon as possible.

Thansk for the compliment

[AdultSciFi]

I use three programs for rendering. When possible I try to render full images in a single renderer to avoid having to composite different renders since it's much more work and takes much more time. Yesterday I had to make a composite of a render in Blender with characters rendered in DAZ and noticed that my Blender render was sharper than my DAZ render. I will have to re-render most DAZ renders since they are too blurry. The difference is not a very big difference but it's noticeable.

What happened is that 3D programs have a setting that makes a render look between very crisp to blurry. When a render is too crisp it will look artificial since the individual pixels will be more noticeable. I usually use just a little blur to make the image look more natural. When I started using DAZ I entered the same value that I used in Blender. But I didn't notice that the value was too much in DAZ until I composited images from both software. Fortunately it's not a major problem and I noticed it early in development. I will use the time I write the story to make re-renders in the background.

[AdultSciFi]

Before I started work on the game I looked at a few other Visual Novels and found that they don't have many different images. One of my goals is to have as many images as I can have time for (rendering an image takes about 30-45 minutes on my GTX 980). But not only does making more images require more time in preparation and render times, it also requires more disk space.

Since my game will have many images I try to compress them with good quality. In Unity there are 2 types of compression. One creates 1MB images, the other creates an average of 300KB images. The one that creates 300KB images (crunched format) gives noise even at the best quality. So I have searched the internet and found that it is possible to use Jpeg images in Unity. Once the first release is made available I will modify the program to use Jpeg instead of the crunched format to get smaller image file sizes with better quality.

In the mean time, here's another render. This one is entirely made in Blender.

[AdultSciFi]

I have decided to make the change to Jpegs this morning. As I expected it didn't take long. This way I won't have to convert more images later. The images are now generally smaller and of better quality. Now I have more story writing to do before I can continue rendering images.
