Devlog: NSFW Content in the demo

Added 2020-01-16 16:47:04 +0000 UTC

I realize I haven't been the most informative regarding the type and style of NSFW content in Memoirs. This is due mostly to being in the early stages of development (having a demo after only four months of active development) and me currently figuring out how the sex scenes work as development continues.

For those wondering what the NSFW stuff looks like, I'll borrow this answer I used previously:

I will go back to the campaign promise I made when I first started dev for the game: it's a RPG with sex, not a sex game with tacked on RPG elements. I'm banking on the speculation that there is a demand for games with more mature elements, as otherwise this type of experiment essentially alienates both my potential audiences: people looking for sex games don't want to have to actually play a game before they get to the good stuff, and RPG players won't be caught dead playing something labeled a sex game.

I would say Memoirs is more grounded than most people would expect, it's a narrative-first, character-driven game. It's setting is cyberpunk and gritty. That means that sex and the sex trade in general will have a lot of psuedo posthumanist tropes common in cyberpunk (augmentation, AI, cybersex, etc). You won't find the exaggerated proportions or popular fetishes of sex games, because sex in the game operates much like it does in real life: some people have their kinks and some don't. Of course, we're dealing mostly with prostitutes, so expect more than usual. The first optional encounter is with an augmented human and you get to explore some of her built-in gadgets. The second is just a regular flesh-and-blood human, and it gets no kinkier than a bj behind a car.

If I have to say, it would probably be more on the vanilla side, because that's the audience I'm targeting. People who would want something like Cloud Meadow or other [insert fetish game] already have that, and I'm not really looking to compete directly with them.

But, describing it is ultimately futile. The demo's coming soon and everybody can see for themselves.

I can also confirm that the sex scenes in the demo are made using pixel art animations, matching the general art style of the game. I have yet to find an affordable way to make line-art animations at the quality I would like, but the search continues.
