Thoughts On An Indie Game I've been playing....
So, for anyone who likes indie games, lewd games, and lewd indie games... I present to you, 'Evalia: The Lust Kingdom'.
It's a genuine sandbox style game made using the Ren'Py game making software. Y'know, the one optimized and spec'd out for making visual novels and adventure games.
You are thrust into the role the fully (insofar as the options will allow at least) customizable and recently, seemingly randomly handpicked, monarch of the floating island city-state of Evalia. A very, VERY sex positive kingdom.
You are free to interact with any NPC you like, engage in the day to day politicking of court sessions to build rep with the various factions that make up Evalia, build relationships with whomever you take a fancy too, work to solve the many secrets eValia has hidden underneath the surface(though, admittedly, the narrative has taken a backseat after the initial polt hooks get laid down for the sake of building up a solid feature rich gameplay loopfoundation), explore the various areas of your kingdom, and shape jsut what kind of place you want it to be.
Not only is it your PC and relationships you have control over to customize, but the very makeup of the kingdom's populace too!
Ever dreamed of having a whole harem of women to yourself? Well, now you can!
Want an island full of doods instead? Sure thing!
It's your kingdom after all, so go nuts.
As for myself, well... I'm very much into roleplaying, so I just filled it with women and futas bc, well... isolated island floating in the sky... so, the odd foreign traffic aside, them babies and population replacement rate gotta come from somewhere, right?
Point is, it's up to you.
Gay, straight, bi, non-binary, futa... it's all good
It's a game that has... a LOT of potential and has come a long way fro a game that's being developed by just one person... Everything from the coding to the art assets!. All just one guy in their free time!
I respect that so much and I use devs like them inspiration and a goal to strive for in my own creative aspirations.
I even subbed to show my support.
Gives me early access and voting rights, so yeah... worth it.
The dev is pretty responsive on the sites they're on but don't yet have a discord... which kinda sucks but, y'know... life.
Potential aside, it's a very ambitious project that will take a long time before it's done... Like, for example, 'The Last Sovereign' by Sierra Lee? That masterpiece of an indie game has been in the works for over a decade! So worth it though! A damn fine game in its own right!
As for suggestions I've made, which the dev has confirmed an interest in adding at some point include, but are likely not limited too, magic to change genders of yourself and other characters, including other important NPCs, of which is gender balanced for plot purposes, which is fine... but I WANT MY HAREM DAMMIT!
more complex factional politicking both at home and with other nations, more interactive sex, combat, and exploration mechanics, and kinds... oh the kinks!
...Given my own preferences, you can bet your ass I asked if incest/inbreeding would be a viable suggestion... and y'know what? They were totally okay with adding such kinds in and even said that was already in the cards, just a matter of 'when, not if' kinda thing.
Now, to those who may not be as big into the indie lewd games or mod community... incest is both surprisingly popular and prevalent.
Naturally, degrees vary on how much that content has importance in the plot or is just a kink.
I'm personally fine with either bc, well, all publicity is good publicity in cases like this. Getting ppl to be comfortable with the idea as 'normal' or at least acceptable, is kinda the point here.... regardless of how much it actually exists already despite the 'common sense' of the present day.
Look up them stats. They will surprise you with how not uncommon it actually is. Remember, 8 billion ppl and all that.
But, in the land of fiction and entertainment, it's a good place to really explore those sides of yourself without all the stigma... unless, y'know, you gotta deal with judgmental pricks. I mean, we do, tbf, but fiction is fiction, so getting offended by fiction is just stupid... and honestly makes you look weirder than the ppl who like that fiction in my book.
Anyway, it's a game I recommend trying and keeping an eye on.
Another game I find myself liking is Lust n Farm.
It's more of a focused narrative sandbox/farming sim lite/harem builder, but it is very much an incest romance that, to the dev's credit and shameless lewding aside, is attempting to build a compelling narrative around.
It's got plenty of flaws and is buggy as hell, but it's another one that has a LOT of potential, isn't afraid to explore taboos, and has a decent foundation to work with.
Honestly, I'm a sucker for isolated city settings and interconnected harem building stories, so win-win.
Maybe I'll talk more about that game since I really do think it's good for what it is and who it's aimed at.
And yes, as an incest romance that at least is attempting to take itself seriously for the world it's set in, pregnancies are actual kinda plot integral here.
Made me actually rethink my view on one of the heroines/older sisters.
....Anyway, lewd game ranting and my lowkey kink shilling aside, that's all I guess...
