Drawing Board

After finishing First Date I had planned on jumping right in to the full gym game (I'm trying to think of a ribald pun name for the gym but I'm not coming up with anything!) but I think I'm going to branch out a bit and do something different just to keep things fresh. There's a few ideas on the burner:
(All working titles btw)
  • Lust on the Orient Express
    • Set in the 1920's, you play as a suave con artist out to scam the wealthy women on the train out of their glittering jewels... and their vintage underwear that I'll have to do some research on.
  • Thargwulf and Sorceress of Yharn
    • Campy Conan the Barbarian style thing, escape from the dungeons of Ghazaradun and pillage the tower of Prince Urzalan! And maybe pillage the princess as well while you're at it!
  • Fairview Heights
    • Set in the 1950's, you play a young man who has recently moved to a quant suburb to set up a business as a handyman. There's plenty of bored housewives who need help with the plumbing, and maybe a certain Hollywood starlet has moved in to avoid paparazzi?
  • The Gym
    • Picking up the story a few weeks after your somewhat disastrous first date with Katherine where you realized that she was your boss, you and a total jock meathead idiot coworker are up for a promotion. Can you help out enough gym members (and staff!) to prove your worth? And hopefully continue where you left off with Katherine?
  • Voyeur Neighbor
    • After you moved in next to two gorgeous college girls you found yourself unable to resist spying on them whenever you could. Your guilt started to lift however once you realized that the opened blinds, and topless sunbathing in the backyard was done on purpose and for your benefit...
So that's what I've got so far! Some of them will end up being shorter while a few might end up being longer.  Any interest in one of these more than the others?

AIF Minifest

I recently participated in the Minifest over at http://adultinteractivefiction.blogspot.com, and my entry First Date is finished and up on the site! I had a lot of fun working on it, it didn't come out 100% how I imagined it (writing a realistic conversation system is a lot harder than I thought!) but I'm pretty proud of it overall. It's a sort of intro to a larger game I'm working on featuring the same characters from the First Date set in an athletic gym. I've just started work on that and finishing up First Date definitely gave me some good experience in writing & programming AIF
