Has anyone here been a part of a ryona/guro game like the ones in the Games thread in /g/ ? If not, please read the story and gameplay ideas - would you be interested in playing this?

I am in the ideation phase of making a game myself -- and would like to know from others about the process... if it's even a feasible undertaking for one developer... I am a programmer by heart, so not an artist - that's why I would probably commission the artwork and voiceover or seek collaborators and split the proceeds. I hope I can get pretty far with a few thousand euros, because that'd be the most I'm willing to spend for a passion project.


Story: Somewhat simple. You are fighting some evil wizard that has an army of zakos, from which he derives his power via blood magic. The enemy zakos are mind controlled and can be set free for the good ending, while you can also use the wizard's blood magic to drain them of their power (i.e. kill them) so you become more powerful yourself. Sprinkle in some non combat girls for guaranteed satisfaction.

Gameplay: I'm thinking that it should be a platformer with a few levels where you combat enemy girls. You can perform finishers on them once they're downed, free them from the wizard's spell or capture them for yourself. There'll be a dungeon section with the captured zakos where you can have more fun with them (aka brutally rape and kill them and absorb their souls for your own maniacal power trip).

I am thinking about how to balance things so freeing the girls isn't the least picked option, but maybe freeing them allows them to join your campaign as secondary fighters - whereas killing them makes you the player more powerful. Maybe the wholesome "free the poor victims" of the evil wizard angle is also popular?

Making it 3D would imply much more development time and assets need to look better if you're controlling a character FPS or over the shoulder.
