Idea for a LOP game

[ZaphodB]

I'm putting this on this section because I think there's more chance of Leo reading it.

The concept is for a male agent who acts on behalf of various actresses getting them parts in theatre, TV, film (including porn). He also builds up relationships with the girls depending on whether he fulfils their dreams or simply charms them.

1. Instead of running on a daily basis the turns would be on months which would be based on a number of actions as opposed to different time lengths. I would envisage it running between 3 to 5 years.

2. The girls would have statistics such as acting, beauty, body, inhibitions, confidence and relationship with the agent. Because there are 3 sets of statistics only 1 girl is active (i.e. they don't meet) to avoid screen clutter.

3. Start with 3 actresses which you could lose with up to 3 replacements, but never running more than 3 at one time

4. The game is progressed by the agent visiting sets or actresses visiting the agent's office

5. Each role undertaken by the actresses will obviously result in different temptations for them as well as temptations for the agent (with actresses offering themselves if the agent has decided to push another candidate for the role) Roles would possibly come up every 6 months.

6. An obvious ending to the game is that the agent ends up with the girl he has the best relationship with.

One problem I foresee is that different girls could appear in different roles and I don't know if that would involve any extra artwork so that different girls (never more than one) in each scene. Obviously someone who is great actress might be more suited to the theatre at the start of her career whereas someone with less talent might want to go into reality TV or a career path might be porn actress -> nude TV actress -> regular TV actress in a successful show

Apologies if this has been tried before but I just thought the scenario and the more spread out time line allows more possibilities. I did think about this as a RAGS game using photos but it seemed to me that it would be a perfect scenario for Leo with his often glamorous lifestyles and stats/events based girls - the difference being that the "actor" of the game is improving others stats rather than his own.

All in all this goes in the direction of a (turn-based) strategie oder simulation game, which I, in fact, would really love. I'm tired of all the same 'meet girl x, talk and talk and flirt and gift and fuck'-games. Maybe some of you know Sengoku Rance. If someone made a similar game, maybe less difficult game mechanics but more sex, I would be definitely looking forward to it.

I ran into a game that is similar to this on newgrounds the other day. Only you were the coach of a girls swim team.

Do you remember the name of the game?

Why do I have a feeling he's mixing the models and swim contest parts of simgirl?

I've got no problem with you making a thread to give him an idea, giving others the chance to chime in. But if you're worried about what he will or won't see and it's directed just at one person, you do have the option of PMing him.

Cheers, I have done that now. I guess it's not a bad idea if people comment on the scenario and I did have in mind that more people do read this board.

Incidentally I saw on PFO that there is a LOP game "The Agency" which I had already played which has similar themes but is a much shorter game with half of it being office politics whereas mine is focussed on the clients' careers and also since it involves the same scenarios for different girls which is probably the tricky bit - same scenes, different girls in the same costumes and different dialogue options. I think it fits well with LOP games which often feature aspirational characters.

I agree with you about the repeating the same actions over again and I was aiming for a game which depended on decisions so instead of building relationships up by repetitive actions it is dependent solely on saying the right thing or doing something right for or with the girl - i.e. managing to manipulate a director who is bit too hands on without losing her the role. To give an example of recent LOP games on Play Force One, more the ballerina game (actually thinking about it, that's more the kind of thing which would work as a scenario within my idea as it's a question of what she's prepared to do for her career) than the college game, although I am a big fan of the latter.

Well yesterday I thought I had PM'd Leo but today there appears to be no record of it - at least I can be in no doubt if it's posted here. Yesterday Outbox(1) today Outbox(0)?

Outbox generally is a place for mail that is going to be sent, but hasn't been yet. So you want it to read zero. Check your 'sent mail' instead.

Of course - silly me!

I presume it's Seductive RPG Swim Team but that game appears to be just based on increasing stats by just increasing stats whereas mine would be action based - for instance you (by which I mean the girl when visited by the agent) might increase your beauty more by appearing on film or TV, your body more by appearing on reality TV (not much to do but exercise) or porn as well as over events like enrolling in night-time beauty school or having an operation. Every choice should involve advantages and disadvantages - like sleeping with a director might guarantee you a part in his next movie, but may knock confidence and ultimately cause the agent to lose the girl especially if he's pushed the girl in that direction. If you ran the game for 3 years the potentially each girl would have 6 roles so it would probably mean writing a minimum of 18 roles and preferably 30/36 each with its own crisis/event and consequences. I'm not sure how many events are in Leo's games currently but I am guessing less but if I'm being honest I wouldn't be interested in writing it for the usual hentai big breasted females in SRST. I realise it's ambitious and perhaps it would realistically with 2 girls although 3 offers more variety. In think if new girls came part way in the film they would have stats to reflect previous roles they might have taken.


Going a little further into SRST you do visit girls like I intended but the dialogue is not terribly sophisticated.
