Randomness FTW

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonus Feature #2:
Spanking and anal = yes and yes. You can rest easy tonight, mysterious anal commenter guy. ^^
Footjobs, not so much. Unless people want to see a bootjob? I don't like drawing feet. I really don't like feet in general...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Chins up, everyone! Mystic Girl is going well. I got a good chunk of work done on it this weekend and on the whole, I am happy with how it is turning out. There is a long road ahead but bit by bit it will come together.

It is also hot. Did I ever mention how hard it is to work on a hentai game without getting, uh, distracted? ^^;; Yeah I've just got to... test this feature a little more... see if the animation is working right...

As a couple people have pointed out, Demon Girl has been spotted in the top 50 highest ranked games on Newgrounds. That is, simply put, insane. For all the bitching I do about peoples' expectations and not being able to devote enough time to my games, it is good to know that people are happy so far. All of your support is appreciated. I mean, I really don't care what score it has, but it is pretty cool anyways. The top 50 gets shown on the main portal page so that helps more people find the game.

And the more people who see it, the more people we corrupt to our perverted ways. Hahahahaha!

Wait, what was the law called again? Oh yeah, corrupting morals. Whoops.

So an anon commenter last post brought up the idea of having fans contribute to Mystic Girl. It sounds good at first but I am reluctant to do that sort of thing. For a few reasons:

1) Mostly, it is just my own problem because I get to be a control freak over this sort of thing. I know this about myself, so I don't want someone to put in a lot of time drawing out an animation only to have me turn around and reject it, or have to spend about as much time fixing it the way I like as doing it from scratch. On the flip side, maybe someone makes an animation that totally blows mine out of the water, and now it is out of place and the rest of the game looks half-assed. It might just be a little hentai flash game, but I still like to keep some consistency (and to save face -_-).

2) Making content for this game is a lot more complicated than just drawing. I use a lot of tricks to make all the bits and pieces work together, so I would need to pretty much teach people how to do it. And more time spent teaching is less time spent actually working.

3) Now I would need to go around organizing everything, distributing files for people to fill in, waiting for people to finish their parts, putting together parts from a bunch of different places, checking over everything to catch mistakes, making sure anyone hasn't broken anything, etc...

4) It would basically just be me saying "do this, do that". Fill in those frames, lackeys! No creative freedom for you! Largely because, like in #3, adding anything substantial is a lot more complicated that it looks.

5) The idea of making a commercial version is not completely dead (just mostly). Which means (in the off chance it actually happens) I get all teh monays, and people get shafted and annoyed at me. "I worked on it too!", "But you filled out 2 frames, I'm not paying you for that!", "Lawsuit, bitch!". The alternative being I need to practically start a business to deal with it all.

And just a note, when I mentioned the idea of charging for an expanded version of Mystic Girl, most people seemed to jump to the conclusion that it would be like $39.99 or something. No no. If I ever do something like that, we're talking about $2-5 if that ($10 max if the distributor was a real bitch about it). I probably won't, lest I suffer the wrath of The Man, but if I did that is what it would be.

Anyways, random update post over. As always, check back in a week or two (or three or four) for more updates!

Although saying "yes, there will be anal" is neither surprising nor satisfying in itself, the idea of someone commenting about that strongly enough to make you put that as your feature update really makes me laugh.

If you ever run short on ideas for these updates, here are a few things you might load into your blog-gun if you ever feel like making more frequent posts:

-Show some kind of flash screenshot displaying some background and objects, something that shows a little bit of theme in the game.

-Describe the most interesting monster you've created thus far. If this is a big secret you intend to blow us all way with on release day, show the #2 and let us believe it is the best so far.

-Count the number of frames that any given movie clip has.

-Post a screenshot with each of the frames of some random movie clip... doesn't really need to involve anything in particular.

-If you have made something that you have not made before, blog it.

-If you ever experience anything that is very significant to you but you don't think we would be able to have a full appreciation for just by playing the game, blog it.

Hey man, I'm a professional animation student, and I was wandering, if you make it to game number four, would you be interested in getting a partner involved in doing the animation?

If you reaspond as a yes, I'll e-mail you about it(you couldn't really e-mail me, being anon.).

Hey LM! You know, some of us are... closet hentai viewers, and maybe, some of us, dont have credit cards etc. to buy the game online or something... Truth is, alot of us are underage, so buying the game would be out of the question. There are young pervs too! So, dont get big headed and start waving around a pricetag cause i guaruntee you will lose a sizable chunk of your fanbase. That's just my little warning.

Anonymous said...

You tease, LM. How about another little preview?

All I'd ever suggest is that you take your time, and release when it is awesome...

Anonymous said...

wait...there are UNDERAGE people on this site, playing this game? UNSPEAKABLE! why, we should not speak of such things because that would be....illegal...button your lip youngin'!

as far as what you wrote LM, it sounds like the game is going to be great! i understand completely your reasoning about not putting other artist's works in the game. i think we are better off allowing you to do your thing, while we sit back and enjoy. the roles of entertainer and the entertained should remain as they are. however, it would be cool to have a collab at some point, incorporating a bunch of material from different people. kind of NG style. just a thought.

keep the good stuff coming man!

Anonymous said...

who cares about underage viewers its NOT LM's responsability to be these kids parents if the parents are to lazy to take notice as to what thier kid is watching then thats tough shit for them...as for losing fanbase for charging 10bux? pssshhhhh yah right man...like LM said he only gonna make a few bux then its going to get pirated hardcore...he aint gonna lose tons and tons of peeps for that besides your still getting the game for FREE he only said u get a little extra for paying 10 bux for it...so if u cant pay then tough shit...its kind of sad that you would say that to LM after he has givin us 2 (TWO) free games JG and DG plus he also draws art and hosts fanart...i would think he has a right to charge a little for extra stuff so he can atleast make a few bux for his hard work...i for one WILL buy the content im not sure how LM intends to do this...paypal or cred card n whatnot but we shall see what the future holds...anyways dont TROLL on LM FOOO!!! lest u get pwnd!!!

p.s i personally dont care how old you are but agree that you should keep your age to yourself unless you 18+ (21 for states)...nothing personal man but last thing LM needs is getting in trouble and drawing attention to himself cause he provided illicite content to a minor...so just relax and enjoy end of story!!! fawk i wish i was an admin for LM's blogs u luky i aint got the god powers foo!!!

Anonymous said...

You know in my country, the "age" is sixteen, im seventeen, so I'm still pretty sure I'm okay to buy this stuff.

Anonymous said...

lol i told u i personally dont care what your age is man...but im in the same country as LM and in our country YOU classify as a minor...which means LM can get into trouble should the law manage to find out about his site...doubtfull of course as most people who enjoy this stuff are secrative about it but on the odd chance that someone finds out about it regardless of where your from LM could get into trouble...all im saying is keep your age to yourself and read the finer details next time...he said you still getting his game for free but there will be extra content that u have to pay for...also in ur post u sounded a little demanding and quite frankly i dont think anyone has the right to "demand" anything...LM does this on his time of his own free will! yet people feel it okay to spam requests and issue orders and make demands...to me thats selfish considering you know that the large portion of this game will be free...or atleast that is what LM said...anyways if he does charge for the HOLE game i might be inclined to agree with you but due to current details on the game one can only assume that we are getting the game for free and that the extra content will be the purchasable material...who knows LM may decide to say screw it to much work trying to make this money thing happen and just release everything for free...time will tell...think b4 you post foo :P no one hates you here but we still have to be carefull...

Bootjobs? Lol, sure. The more different things, the merrier (sounds strangly erotic >.>)

Btw no, I'm not that mysterious blog-dude. Anyways, I am looking foward do mystic girl. I agree with the above poster, in DG, she lost her clothes too fast. Perhaps under her skirt and shirt you can give her a bra and panties/thong?

Anonymous said...

I first read "bootjob" as "boobjob" and thought "hell yeah, that's awesome!"

Then I re-read it and thought "WTF?"

Seriously, how would that even work?

linemarvel said...

This is basically how the development will go. I'm making the free version. When that is done, it is done. The game will be complete and it will be free.

Then I may decide to spend a little extra time adding more content for a paid version.

The free version will be the same either way. It will just come out a little later (keep in mind the release date is completely random to begin with).

As far as bootjobs go, who knows? ^^ Maybe it goes inside her boot and rubs against her ankle? Then when it finishes the cum fills the boot and comes splashing out.

Hey, I just invented a new fetish! Haha!

And no, I'm not actually going to do that.

Anonymous said...

LMFAO! uuuuhhh sure whatever u say LM lol...*shivers* well thats one feature i wont really be into but hey to each his or her own :) lol

Anonymous said...

Bootjobs will be in the paid version, I'm guessing? You can't give away something that hot for free! j/k, lol
Mystic Girl seems like it's coming along nicely, though I'm really hoping to see a new screenshot some time soon. Something to tide us over until the random release date arrives... please?
Also, had you thought about (or are already including) girl customization beyond hair color? It seems like it'd be relatively easy and would appease people who have fetishes for asian women, latinas, etc.
In any case, I liked JG and DG and know you'll do a good job with your third game.

Anonymous said...

You know, some of us would still be happy to donate a little even if there weren't a paid one.

It's kind of rare to find an actual hentai game that has at least mildly entertaining gameplay — all the Japanese games tend to be interactive fictions with less than memorable stories.

Wouldn't mind supporting the continued development of this and similar titles.

Anonymous said...

hmmmm im inclined to agree tywrn! all those jap games arent as satisfying as the canadian varient :D some things are just better when they are made closer to home :) cheers to LM :D

Anonymous said...

so very true theres real game play in lines work and thats why i like i get bord with mindless fuck and run games Line your games rock id post my name but the well i scared the people under my bed might get me good luck im off to fight the things in my head

Anonymous said...

Hm. I've got a couple ideas. Dunno if you'd like them... but here goes. ^.^

1) The possibility of choosing a sort of personality for Mystic Girl. This effects the ratio of your orgasm bar and energy bar, and perhaps even your speed and how well you fight off tentacles. We have the lonely, flatchested virgin, who has better stamina, but less orgasm meter to fill. But she can't fight off tentacles all that well. Faster, too, I guess. And then we have a... slut. >.> Pretty much the opposite of the lonely nerd-type girl. And of course we have the normal girl, and stuff.

2) There could be some dude out to rape MG. He could replace the reaper, and when he reaches MG, he actually, you know... DOES SOMETHING. >.> He'll rip off all of her clothes and rape her however he pleases, and doesn't stop until MG is out of energy. Then it'll take you to the gameover scene. Oh, and the dude is completely oblivious to the tentacles.

Oh, and the game needs more ear sex. What's more sexy than tentacles up the ear drum?

Anonymous said...

okay ear sex? wtf..u cant be serious! honestly i thought i had seen it all but that is an entirelly new thing to me...personally not my cup of tea...i doubt lm is going to take that suggestion but you never know *shrugs* congrats on an original idea though...odd...but original...

linemarvel said...

The personality idea is interesting. I'm going to think about that one a bit. ^^

There isn't actually any Reaper equivalent in this game, because the gameplay is a little different.
But there might be... something better...

I'll get to those sexy ear drums right after I finish the nostril penetration. Mmmmm, snot.

(Agh, shouldn't have thought of that, I just threw up in my mouth a little -_-;; )

Anonymous said...

Deep nostril = Bruised brain = less tentacle fighting ability w/ more orgasm resistance :D

Anonymous said...

lol
will be an interesting game^^

Anonymous said...

*shivers* The horror.......The horror...

Anonymous said...

wow....ok. there's some freaky ass shit.

now, i know what we, as a group, are into isnt exactly mainstream. however, i do believe deep nostril and bootjobs have just crossed the line of...oh my god. i think i just threw up a little.

you should make it a secret in game. i would call it an easter egg, but that could be interpreted strangely by this group. 0_o

haha. this is just so amusingly disgusting.

Anonymous said...

okay, from what I've gathered from previos posts this may seem weird to people, but how about adding some good old vaginal sex

Anonymous said...

what's that skippy the hentai-addicted squirrel? you think its about time for an update?

i couldn't agree more.

Anonymous said...

Something I've been wondering for a fair while now is what do people prefer in their hentai? There are so many japanese games out there that are little more than interactive stories with a few nude drawings thrown in for good measure although at least in japan i would imagine they have a decent fan base else they wouldn't continue to exist. So are we attached to seeing something happening to characters that have developed over the game and its, by definition i suppose, dramatic series of events (although the only game i've seen do this to my satisfaction was divi dead)? Or are we interested in the challenge the games pose to us? This is the case with Deamon girl and such, although in an interesting twist we are punished with hentai... For one i know that i have run through many hentai games giving no more than a glance to the actual content and are more interested in the callenge it took to reach that goal.

A third catagory i suppose would be the kind of create your own story where it is more about your godlike control over the world, as expressed by games such as the princess maker series (although as far as i understand nudity is optional at best in those)? In these games we are allowed control over the protagonist more explicetly and could be considered a form of direct fantasy fulfilment.

Obviously the most successful games offer a mixture of all these three different aspects and each person differs as to which parts they prefer. Me being a person heavily motivated by character developent as well as challenge and less so by having my fantasies fulfilled means that i prefer the first two catagories. So how do we like our entertainment? are we there for the drama? the challenge? or meerly to play god with the beautifull ladies?

Anonymous said...

The challenge, the story based japanese hentai games are not really games at all in my view. The japanese ones are only there for the story, and if i wanted a good story i wouldnt look for it in a hentai game.

Anonymous said...

Just a quick idea. Thus far none of your games have shown how the tentacles subdue/enter the girl. THAT would be hot.

"Just a quick idea. Thus far none of your games have shown how the tentacles subdue/enter the girl. THAT would be hot."

I completely agree with this statement! Please implement something like this, linemarvel.

Anonymous said...

Dear LM,
YOU ARE A HENTAI GOD.
I LOVE ALL YOUR WORK SO FAR, AND I LOVE YOUR STYLE.

Ok, now that that's out of the way, I have some suggestions for either your next game, or for any future games or projects regarding your wonderful hentai.

1: Necrophilia - Perhaps you can make there be a way in which the heroine can get killed instead of just fucked by her enemies, and THEN they can do whatever the hell they want with her (body). Think about it, she can't resist for shit if she's dead. Sex doesn't have to stop after death.

a. You could implement this as a way of saying "Game Over," although I myself would like there to be a "dead and still getting raped" ending and a traditional "alive but cannot resist getting raped" ending. If you were to make an ending for her to die, I would suggest that there be no decapitation, mutilation, or large amounts of blood though, as it would take too much away from it being erotic.

2:(I know i'm going to get blasted on this one)Pedophilia - We all know that hentai has already crossed into making animated underage girls being put into the most rapeist rape rape situations that anyone can raping draw. Why not implement it here as well? It may be more controversial, but haven't you(LM) already taken a chance with this whole endeavor in the first place? I'm not talking about girls who are mere babies(ever seen a hentai baby getting reamed by 50 tentacles? disgusting)
but girls who are at least 12 years old to about 16 or 18 years old. Do a lolita thing or theme perhaps with her, her being a sort of mature child being put into physically adult situations.

Just some suggestions (sry for being long, I also would hate reading this entire comment ^^)
I really look forward to Mystic Girl. Even if you charge for 'extra' content, I'll do what i can to get that as well. GL!

linemarvel said...

Subduing her is so much animation for so little payoff. I'd rather focus my efforts making more enemies/positions/features.

But, eh, maybe I can do something with it. We'll see.

Necrophilia is not gonna happen. Knocking her unconscious and going at it, sure (note: not currently a feature). But killing her? It's a bit beyond what I'm comfortable doing.

I'm also gonna avoid loli. "Obscene" porn is one thing, child porn is another. And unfortunately even hentai can be (legally) child porn.
