Description
I had an idea for a dice rolling game (a bit... questionable one actually), but I'm afraid it would be too heavy to actually be playable. Maybe if I put more effort in it, it would become more streamlined and functional. I figured designing a game isn't child's play, and considering the nature of the game... well, maybe it's for the best in the end.Enne was a character I came up with for testing purposes. "Enne" means "Omen" in finnish. In the game, I was thinking that making bad rolls is considered bad omen and can really screw up things for the character, not just at the moment but in the future as well. Psychology and sanity also plays a big role and the characters would need to roll for "Wavering resolve" test fairly often to check how their mental health withstand the horrors. Enne is in "dai pinchi" here, i.e. in great trouble. It's evident that she won't fend off the foe in front of her...
It's not obvious who is the ultimate bad guy in the game, but maybe the shadow in the pic is actully your shadow, because it would ultimately be your fantasies tormenting the characters. So yeah, it wouldn't be a game for all ages... which is also one reason I'm not too eager to put much effort on this game idea.
I had so clear vision of this scene in my mind that I wanted to draw it. I had also decided a bit earlier that I would try to draw more spotaneously and in rougher quality so that I could draw more in less time which is why this is just a sketch.

Play Darkest DungeonΒ (or watch some vids) it has all the insanity thing nailed down , maybe it can inspire you in how to refine it.

Looks nice, though!
A lot of game design is counterintuitive, things that seem "dumb" turn out to be FUN, and things that seem "simple" turn out to confuse the PLAYERS, and its the clunky "bad" game mechanics people quickly understand and LIKE.

That sounds interesting! If I actually had anybody to play a D&D type game with I'd try it out! Reminds me slightly of "Don't Starve" with the whole sanity aspect.

"I had also decided a bit earlier that I would try to draw more spotaneously and in rougher quality so that I could draw more in less time which is why this is just a sketch."
This. And that sketchy but finished piece is so... inspiring. I wanna try, too.
By the way, how long did this piece take you?

Definitely an interesting idea for a game, sometime in the future. My suggestion would be to continue refining this; who knows what would happen in the future!!Β

this is so beautifully reminiscent of 80's games, it gives me a lovely warm feeling inside.
of course, it doesnt seem to bode well for your heroine... but im sure she will manage

"It's evident that she wont' fend off the foe in front of her..."
I dunno, man. Overall it doesn't look like she's dressed for dungeon-crawling, but she does appear to be wearing potara earrings. I wouldn't write her off so easily.

I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going

I get the feeling that the sub-title is you referencing a game you were looking forward to that got cancelled.

Nevermind, I read the description. Still stand by it to some extent though.

Hi Nsio, why not start? If you'll create a GameDesignDocument for the game, maybe I can help. I'm a hobby-gamedeveloper from germany.

About your game idea:
It depends on how often and how fair the dice rolling is. Players need illusion that somehow whatever bad happens to their character is actually "fair" and "non consequential" if it has to happen under random occurrence.Β
As the state of game industry right now.....well.....I think there is always a place for NSFW games....though surely it's not as good as 5-10 years ago in terms of sale, you gonna have to create kickstarter or patreaon account, and depends on them a bit more than steam/direct sales.
That's what I think anyway.
Hope that helps

I haven't thought up everything, but most die rolls would be done with D10, so rolling 1s is less likely to happen than with D6. Die with few sides like 1D3 are used for really bad things. I haven't thought up how and when omen kicks in yet. The idea is in so early phase that balancing is still out of the picture.

Looks like "Long Live the Queen" and "Goblin Slayer" had a baby
