Another time could be fun, but it looks like you've already made a bunch of your own games ...! Why would you need to team up at all?

It's probably too late to find buddies here, but I want to give this jam a chance. Could be fun for one or three artists to treat as a set of short, optional, warm-up exercises.

The game is single player, turn & card based, with a theme of fortune telling and animal (or whatever) spirits. Hoping for a "kinky tantra" vibe, not gross or horrifying. The game wants a ton of different poses with spirits: ideally 60 - 90 or so, plus a couple people sitting around a fireplace looking shocked.

60+ drawings is a completely unreasonable request, unless it is limited to 5-10 minutes per black and white sketch, and maybe, if there's any interest, divided up among different people.

I can also do at least some of these, so there's no requirement to treat this like a hard commitment. It can just be a list of quick drawing exercises to pull from if you want to help out during the jam.

I'll start coding. If you're an artist and want to jump in, drop a comment and I'll organize a list you can pull from.

Looks like you're pretty motivated to find a team.

You probably aren't expecting a reply since I disappeared for a while, but fwiw I coded it from scratch and drew the images mostly with inkscape.

I never told anyone she was going to get naked.  How did you figure out my secret plan?!

Looks like you really did not like the way Daniel would get harder every time you got more points, and you figured out how to reverse it.

The hit you called in did not kill Daniel, but he tried to make some reforms with the new version.

15 minutes is really short, though I'm glad to hear that you liked it for longer than just 5 minutes

Outfits are easy to add but drawing is slow; there are a couple more I'm working on when I have time. More diversity is also a helpful idea, there's at least one obvious improvement now that you point it out.

In other words, the joke went too far.

The last thirty seconds are already blocked off, but sometimes he can show up right before the cut-off point and make at impossible mess.

It sounds like you hate him more than intended. He's supposed to be annoying, but only enough to make it seem silly.

Ariel can't keep her clothes on, Daniel is constantly showing up at the worst time, the inspector shows up at the end going "what the hell is going on here... ?!" Probably not the funniest joke you've ever seen, but it's meant to be that Daniel is annoying and that's part of the humor.

There's a bunch of good ideas here - I especially like the thought of having different outfits affect the difficulty and Daniel's behavior.  It'll take a little longer to get to the next improvement, but I hope you'll check back as things progress..!

Yeah - it's going to need more skins.

Long rant? That was really helpful info, especially because you explained why it felt unrewarding and frustrating at the beginning, and how the point display is confusing.

There's a new update today; I changed how the points work and made sure there is a summary at the end of each round.  Thanks for the feedback!

You're annoyed because the point system makes it look like you lose all your progress whenever Daniel shows up.

Annoying if he takes *all* your points right before the end!  I'll add some tweaks, thanks for the tip.  

Seems like you really hate this game.

Yeah - right now he's annoying like that.

Daniel's timing is semi-random, but there are some rules to how he operates.  Since I know how he works I usually come out ahead, though it's rare (on purpose) to get a perfect game.

It would be good to strike a balance between some luck, discovery, and strategy. It'll probably take a few rounds of feedback to make that happen. Looks like "more strategy, less luck" should be the next step!

Thanks for having a look!

Was it hard to get at least 10 points the first round?

Okay, I'm curious.  The prototype is here for now: http://www.skitches.xyz/demo/ 

How would you want to approach it?

You can't?

You seem pretty enthusiastic!

It looks like your previous posts are raster-based, which won't work for the code I've written.
Would it be problem for you to do the drawings in Inkscape, so that the drawings are in a format I can use?

Sincerity.. ! That's not going to work.  Let me rephrase:
Crypto crypto ai crytpo ai crypto.

If you're already an artist, you're probably pretty sick of getting asked to do unpaid NSFW. Afraid I can't help with that right now, I'm still learning how to make a game fun. Right now I have a prototype of a web-based game that might be suitable for portfolio purposes, figured I'd reach out before I settle for my own drawing skills. I am happy to trade a little coding work for the right person, if that helps.

Two characters in a kitchen, one of the characters will want three pinup poses and a few outfits.  Needs to be web-friendly SVG:  no clipping paths, but Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape seem to be viable tools.

Drop me a note here if you are interested.

True. I was just prototyping the game mechanic, so the ending is weak.

I wanted to see if anyone would comment that I should make more, or if the whole idea is a dud.

Seems like you've seen this kind of conversation before.

Ostensibly.  One of the criticisms is that in the USA, it has de-facto become the form of government.  Assuming one agrees with that criticism, "democracy" constitutes an alternative to capitalism.

You know what? I bet the screenshot is getting in the way.  I'll take that off.

Sounds annoying!

Firefox? Chrome? Something else?

Thanks!  It seems like there should be some kind of intro level to help people get started the first time, and maybe some more levels and characters after that.

Thanks for checking it out!  Looks like you're trying to test out all the color combinations . In that set of guesses, the highlight (the red splotch icon) is red both times, and you've tried purple and green for the top and bottom. Based on the clues, I bet that:

1. The highlight (red splotch) must be purple or green.
2. Either the top or the bottom (or both) must be red.
3. The top and bottom shapes are not those two shapes.
