What is Captivity?
John Carmack once said, "story in a game is like story in a porn movie. It's expected to be there, but its not that important." I disagree on both fronts. Captivity is a game I want to make with huge focus on proper gameplay, story and porn. If it sounds too ambitious, it is. If it sounds incredibly unnecessary when I could just simply make a game without porn or just porn without gameplay, read the opening sentence again.In Captivity, you take on the role of either a man or a woman who due to a mysterious incident, find yourself trapped inside the game world of an MMORPG named "DragonSong." Shortly after stepping foot in an abandoned house, the male avatar that hosts your conscious, turns into a female one. With no way to return to the real world or your male character, what will you do to survive in this new world you found yourself in? In order to survive in this world filled with many NPCs and players with varying personalities, money is required. How far will you go to gain more dominion? By doing honest jobs? Maybe by killing monsters and selling their loot? What about friendships and alliances? Find love? Perhaps some other form of love? But most importantly... How will you escape captivity? Captivity aims to deliver an experience you never thought a hentai game could.
Gameplay & Story
Even though I'm "marketing" Captivity as a "hentai game," it's not purely about the porn and the sex. Mechanics and features will be put in place to make it a "proper" game. Many of the gameplay mechanics is largely inspired by the Rune Factory and Harvest Moon series. As such, you will find yourself spending most of your time in Estal City, running around and talking to people constantly. Politics will be involved (albeit nothing close to real life's), and you'll play a part in it. Exploration and combat is also a big part of the game. That being said, the meat of the game is focused in Estal City, so the exploration part of the game will be developed slowly. The game will also have sim like features to further the point that you are indeed "living" in a foreign video game world. Hunger and sleep will take the form of buffs and debuffs, and is designed to be as unobstrusive as possible. Hunger and sleep is easily satisfied by simply visiting your house and interacting with people and objects. Should you choose to not return to your house for whatever reason, there are other means of satisfying these needs.
H-Content
Many of the h-events is accessed by talking to certain people, quests and events. There are many types or genres/tags/fetishes of h-events, and is designed to satisfy as many people as possible without breaking the law. That means you won't be finding loli and shota content. (Also no guro/gore or obscure fetishes like eyeball lickings) Your inhibition and lust
level is the main factor of how you unlock said h-events. Both inhibition and lust caps out at 100 (max) and goes as low as 0 (min). The lower your
inhibition is, the more the depraved stuff you can do, while lust is your
secondary factor that governs whether you will be able to access many
of these h-events. Inhibition is mostly a "fixed" meter (until choosing a certain dialogue option to change it), and lust will continuously increase until you relieve yourself some form or another.
Current state
The game is currently in pre v0.1.0. While I call the current versions "pre-builds," you can think of this as early access, pre-alpha, or whatever of the sort. This means that many things right now in the game is subjected to change. So even if you're not throwing money at me, simply playing the game and providing feedback is highly appreciated. Do keep it constructive though. Saying "YOUR GAY!!!" doesn't help me improve the game. Stuff like, "I found a bug here at this event, place or whatever" or "there's an anatomy error of this person in this CG" does.There is too much fluff in this. I need an editor.
