Eros Academy[Adult 18+][RPG][Dating]

#1 Post by Novus »

**Warning, this game is most definitely Adult 18+ Only**

Update:

As of 6/30/2018 The public release of Eros Academy is up to version 2.01, with the patreon only version up to v2.05. The next public update will be in July, likely mid month. the current Public Build (v2.01) contains 685 unique 3D renders, around a quarter of which are part of 80+ two or three frame animations. The current Patreon Only build (v2.05) has an additional 55 renders and several more animations, introducing Pony Play, an Intro to Bondage class, and Jobs the main character can do around the academy.

Salutations! I'm the developer of Eros Academy, a game that's been in development for just shy of a year and half. I've recently revamped my patreon as I'm now developing a second game. However, Eros Academy is still receiving active monthly updates for Patron and Public releases every 3 months. The current Public version can always be found linked(with multiple mirrors) on my Patreon Page.

What is Eros Academy?

Eros Academy hovers somewhere between a Dating Sim and a Visual Novel. The basic setting of the game is that, some years in the future, a new company founds an institution called Eros Academy. This academy offers both a place for people to learn about their sexuality and a safe haven to practice that sexuality. They offer four major services.

Erotic Exercise - Nude Yoga Classes, Tennis, and Volleyball are just the beginning. The Academy offers everything from simple naked sports to sex-based workout programs.

Classes - The Academy offers hands on instruction in everything from oral sex to bondage play.

Scenarios - Attendees can select from a whole host of scenarios they would like to experience. Be it playing as a fantasy damsel in distress, or a naughty schoolgirl seducing their professor.

Groups - Eros Academy allows groups of like minded individuals to use their facilities to practice their kinks. (Currently, the major group that has been implemented is the Exhibitionism Group)

Though there is quite a bit beyond these to find around the academy in general.

Game Play

For the purposes of the game, you play as Faith Imati, a young women who has worked up the courage to check out her local Eros Academy. As you guide her to explore the ever-expanding world of Eros Academy, you can meet and develop relationships with a number of NPCs. Currently, there is a full 4 dates leading to a relationship with a girl named Naomi, and a single date for a second character named Lily. These are not simple, mindless dates, but tend to contain multiple paths, options, and challenges. The dates tend to run at least 50-80 images each.

In addition to developing relationships, you can have Faith interact with other named NPCs, attend classes, experience scenarios, join in exercises, or sign up with the Exhibition group. You can also explore the Academy grounds to find numerous random encounters, or go to specific places to find various events and challenges. All the while you can choose to develop Faith's dominance or submissiveness, lower her inhibition levels, and increase her fitness, all of which unlock new options and scenes throughout the game.

What Does the Game Feature?

Eros Academy is intended to feature a very wide variety of kinks/fetishes. The list below are some ALREADY Present in the Game, and more will be added in time.

Masturbation
Oral Sex
Heterosexual and Lesbian sex
Anal Sex
Threesomes
Bondage
Spanking
Public Sex/Public Use Sex
Exhibitionism (Photography, Amateur Porn, Erotic Strip/Dance)
Sex Toy Play (Dildos/vibrators, Sybian, Strap-ons and more)
Pet Play (Ponygirl training, Ponygirl races, Cat/Dog play)
Roleplay Fantasies (I.E. Damsel in Distress, Student/Teacher, Captured Warrior, Cosplay)
Transformation(Breast Expansion, Futa : Both completely optional and currently somewhat limited)
Milking(Very Limited)


Basically, the intention of this game is to eventually allow Faith(and the player) to explore a bit of everything, all while developing relationships with an ever expanding number of major NPCs who she can either seduce or, in some cases, be seduced by.

Update Frequency:

Patrons get monthly updates of between 10-25 new renders (dependent on $5+ reward poll voting). Public releases have moved to every three months starting at the end of July.

-----

I hope you enjoy!


Once Again, the game can be downloaded from:

There is a new public release of the game out! This release was added for Patron's two weeks ago, and focuses on majority expanding the supplemental events.

New Things:

This update introduces 9 new distinct scenes, with 4 of those 9 scenes having major variations. With those scenes comes 6 new locations, and the first relationship gated scene with Lily. So that you can hunt them all down, here are the scenes that were added:

Beach Volleyball (4 Results, Fitness and Inhibition level dependent)

New Scenario - Stolen Uniform

New Scenario - Grade Booster

New Class - Basic Blowjobs (variation base on inhibition level)

Masturbation at Faith's Apartment

4 Random Events Scenes (which are now a thing, choose 'explore the academy from the Hallway Menu)

- The Glory Corner (2 major variations)

- Public Use in the Park (2 major variations)

- Lesbian Wrestling (Lily! Yay!)

- The Wandering Stripper



The next Patron-first update will come later this month, and add a fairly major amount of content for Lily, including the first date that Faith can take her on.

New Patron Release! Eros Academy 1.3!

Alright! It's finally here! And it contains lots of stuff! Well, it is for Patrons at least! The public release of this content will be Thursday, April 13th.

New Stuff for Version 1.3:

-You can now do a lot more with Lily in her office. If you have high enough relationship with her you can Massage her Shoulders, Grope her Boobs, and Give and Receive Oral Sex. More to the point you can now...

-Ask Lily out on a Date. Take Lily out to a nearby cafe (if your relationship is good enough). There you can get new chat lines and have some fun. This also introduces the first use of the...

-Dom/Sub mechanic. The bones of the system have been there for the last couple of updates, but this is the first time there are checks for it. The things you can do on the date will change target depending on how high your dominance score is in comparison to Lily's. There are also completely different paths for a Dominate and Submissive Faith in...

-A new major sex scene at Faith's Apartment, after your date with Lily (if your relationship is good enough!). Content is completely different depending on who is in charge.

-In addition, Naomi is now in the game. You can find her at the Indoor Pool. She has chat lines and a few interactions, but not a lot of content overall. She's intended to be a harder character to romance, so I couldn't rush in a major sex scene for her.

-There is also a Temporary new scene on the random encounters list. 20% of the time you "explore the academy" you will get a text-only scene whose sole purpose is to allow easy manipulation of the Dominance Stat. Technically, this wasn't strictly needed, I was able to manipulate the stat using already existing scenes for testing purpose. However, I happen to know what literally everything does, since I wrote and programmed it all. As there simply aren't very many scenes that give dom/sub changes in the game yet, I added the temp scene for player convenience.



The Next Update:

Alright. So...read this through all the way please, if you read this section at all. The game is still being developed, and will continue to be! However, Eros Academy hasn't really produced much interest in the adult game community. The handful of Patrons I have are amazing. But, aside from their pledges, I've struggled to get even the most basic feedback from...well, pretty much anyone. This is incredibly disheartening given the amount of time I have to pour into the game to produce updates the size I have been. As a result, the APRIL update (the next update not this one), will be my last monthly update unless interest picks up. Wait! Don't run yet! When this change happens, IF it happens, I'm planning to flip my Patreon Page over to a "per creation" setup. This will allow me to take 2-3 months for an update of similar size to the current ones, without costing my lovely supporters a penny more for the same size content packages. Moreover, IF I do this, I will be altering the Private/Public release schedule so that the public release is always one full update behind, rather than an arbitrary two weeks.

As for the exact content of the next update, that will be subject to a poll of my Patrons that will be going up in the next couple of days.

Version 1.3 is now a public release! Go get it from the Patreon Page Main Post! See the 1.3 release post in this thread for what it contains.

The Next Update:
The last of my Patron Polls closed on the 8th of the month, so I now know what the next update will entail. My patrons surprised me by voting for me to expand the number of things to do around the academy in general, rather than adding another date or new character to the game. They further voted for the main themes of the update to be Exhibitionism and Pet Play, with a focus on F/F content. The current plan is for there to be between 6-8 new events of varying intricacy around the Academy, with at least 3 each being for Exhibitionism and Pet Play, and any others being whatever I feel like or have time for.

Version 1.4 has gone live for Patrons! It will become a Public Release on May 15th, 2017.

What's New in Version 1.4


A total of 7 news scenes, over 60 new renders, 3 new locations, and several new minor characters have been added for Version 1.4!

Per Patron voting, this update contains two main focuses: Pet Play and Exhibitionism. Each of these kinks has three new scenes in the game, as well as related new locations. Also per patron voting, the vast majority of the scenes are F/F.

Exhibitionism

-The Exhibitionism Group is now live in the game, visit their club room for access to all three new scenes. A photo shoot in the photo studio, and two scenes in the Exhibition Bar, a new location that allows Faith to perform live sex shows for the public and serve drinks as a topless waitress/bartender.

- Note: With the Exhibitionism Group now open, visiting the ongoing photo shoot that was already in-game has been moved to their menu.

Pet Play


-The first of the new pet play scenes is a class on catgirls that Faith can now attend. This class is required to get full access to the new scenes at a new location...

-The Kennels! Right now the Kennel Mistress can handle renting you a catgirl for your use, or letting Faith rent herself out as a catgirl for the use of another Eros attendee. Eventually, this location will likely be expanded to account for other pet types (dogs, bunnies, etc.) Visit the Kennels by choosing "Go Somewhere" in the Main Hallway Menu.

Developer's Choice!

-In addition to the voted-for content, there is a new scene you can find via 'Explore the Academy' involving the Michael Maes character. See if you can't make his workout just a little bit harder...

Other:

-Thanks to the kindness of "Regardie" on Fenoxo's forums, I've fixed a couple of dozen typos throughout the game. Thanks Regardie!

-There is a Known Bug in the game at the moment, but it's not game-ending. Currently it is possible to go above 100% or below 0% in the various stats. Something in the code I'm using to limit those stats isn't working correctly. It has no real effect on the game no matter how far you go in either direction (all checks being done using greater and less than). I had hoped to fix it this update, but several delays have prevented me from doing so.

As I have updated the original post to reflect, Eros Academy is up to version 1.9. It now contains well over 500 renders, and the full date set and it's results for the Naomi character will be complete as of the next update.

Please read the following all the way through! I promise it's NOT all bad news, despite what it might seem like at first!

Having said that, however, Eros Academy is also in the process of being downgraded to a side-project. THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE UPDATES. However, those updates will be smaller, with 1-2 scenes being added per month for Patrons and the general public only getting them 3-4 times per year in bigger batches. Please keep reading, I still promise it isn't all bad news! The reasons for this downgrade are many, but the biggest three boil down to:

1) A lack of interest in the game, or support from, the adult games community. This is NOT an accusation, just an observed fact. Very few people ever showed interest in Eros Academy, despite my best efforts.

2) Time/Cost. Each update currently takes me 100+ hours of my own personal time, and I've sunk far far more money into purchasing assets for the game than I've ever gotten back from patrons. This, again, isn't anything like an accusation. I've simply gone down in the world rather a fair bit since I first started work on the game this time last year, and there's no way I can afford to keep sinking money into it.

3) I'M PLANNING A NEW GAME - See, I told you it wasn't all bad news!

Anyone who follows my Patreon page should have already seen some announcements regarding all of this. The most recent of which, and the reason I'm making a whole new post about it, is because I'm seeking opinions of WHICH new game to work on. I've outlined several new games HERE IN THIS PUBLIC POST on my Patreon page. As I don't want my mistake with Eros Academy, making a game that proved unpopular, to occur again, I'd appreciate anyone and everyone taking a look at the new ideas and letting me know which game or games they'd most like to see! Just as a teaser, to convince you to go take a look, here's some super early concept art for one of the new ideas! Enjoy, and I hope you take the time to drop by and tell me which game you'd like to see!

The main post has been edited, both to reflect the current public version (2.0 was the biggest update yet! Completing the main content for the Naomi character!) and to bring it into line with all the development that has happened in the last year and a half. A lot of things were were only 'might be's' are now actively in the game and as such my own introduction didn't really fit any longer.

@Novus-

Like you, I'm surprised that no one has posted here about this game. I noticed it yesterday and downloaded for my mac. The game is very well done and it is interesting to explore. I spent several hours exploring and learning , and will no doubt be back for more! Thanks for doing a great job, and I will look forward to future updates.

I am sorry to hear that this game has been put on the slow track due to lack of interest; I'll continue to watch you and see whatever else you are doing!

Thanks for the encouraging words! I'm always happy to here someone likes the game! Sorry it took so long for me to respond. Since no one has ever really replied here, I don't check on the post as often as I do a few other places :-). It's also good to know someone is actually playing the mac version, don't hesitate to drop me a message either here, or better on Patreon, if any mac-specific bugs pop up. I don't actually have a mac system to test on, so I rely on the few mac users that play it to let me know if there are any problems ;-).

As for the update cycle, it's a little slower...but not as much as I feared it might be! The poll voting by my higher-tier patrons, which allows them to determine when I do as an extra reward, has resulted in the update speed only dropping by about 1/3, despite the fact that I'm building a whole second game (which is nearly ready for it's first release!) at the same time :-).
