This is the first time I created a thread for a product before it is released (? la, wasurenai). Yes, I'm evil creating this thread 11-12 days before its release date.

The primary reason I'm creating this thread now rather on the release date is that I have a feeling someone will create a thread and not bother with proper attribution. Especially since MTS is fairly new and doesn't appreciate/understand the comparison to "I-Raf-you". MTS wants people to link to the top page, so if you see someone direct linking to other parts of MTS's site, reprimand them about it. Also, don't piss off the illustrator Narukami Zettsu (e.g. posting any of his illustrations outside of his site) or he'll block your country when he finds out, hahaha.

This was posted on Takuramakan Zabaku's pixiv account rather recently:


This game will contain vore, body (inside) exploration, foot crush, butt crush, and size changing. As far as the demo is concerned, the growth scene is shown as a flash of light. Though MTS does do a lot of size-changing (growth and shrinking) in his stories, so it's speculative if a flash of light will be the only thing shown throughout the entire game. There's also a lot of bad endings (at least 10).

I'll update this thread with information on how to purchase from the Japanese DLSite when the game is released (Scroll up if you weren't paying attention). For the time being, you can play a demo at MTS's site, and view some of the illustrations by the illustrator at his Pixiv account (registering shouldn't be too difficult).

I should really fund the production of an American CG Game. What do you think?

I vote yes! XD I really wish we had Illusion-Grade CG games here in the states... Hell, even I'd have to start donating for that! XD

...Well, after Bakuretsucon...

And I suppose you will be the scenario writer? To be honest, I haven't read anything by you besides those comics on your website. If you have some actual prose stories written by yourself somewhere, can you provide a link to them?

I don't know. It probably would be best if you tried creating something simple with a freebie engine just to see if you have the aptitude and wherewithal to do something much more ambitious with money.

This picture just totally inspired me! Thanks!

I could help I mean, I'm a writer, but I can't do any graphics, only coming up with ideas and characters. >_>;

Wow. This looks very awesome.

[max3]

Any idea on price range yet?

I take it that's a kind way of saying my writing could use some work?

The programming involved in such games, if you're aiming for something like the Japanese graphics and text games is very simple. Several free or nearly free packages exist. That leaves the art assets (writing, graphics, and sound) as the largest stumbling block. Sound is easy enough if you're not particularly picky, several royalty free or credit only works are on the net. That leaves writing and graphics.

Writing all the text for a game such as this should be roughly equivalent to the text required for at least a 40 - 50k word novel. Depending on personal preference and skill that can be knocked out in about a month, editing might take 2 - 3x as long (assuming writing takes place after a standard 8 hour day).

As to graphics, pricing and time requirements will vary by the artist. I'd discussed a somewhat similar project with a few artists, estimates varied, but conservatively expect to spend at least $500+ for finished character and event cg (with the possibility of a backside percentage for the artist)

So, certainly not an impossibility, but expect to put up a sizable chunk of money in advance for a possibly uncertain return.

BTW, has the plot of the game been released yet?
