July 17th Update

Today, please welcome back to the site…MrStomper, who is here to day to announce a sequel to his first game, Anna.

Good news everyone!

I am here to make your summer a little better with my next project! It has lots of summer vibes!

This time around it has more traditional structure then my previous one. You are a guy, you are on a ship and with you there are two girls: Anna and River.
You already know Anna. She looks a little different now, because the whole thing is done in iRay for your viewing pleasure (more about that later), but it’s still her.

Her best friend, River, you might have notice in a very small cameo in the previous installment. Say hello to River.

So, you are with them on a ship because they wanted to see a little island and to have some fun. But as you will soon find out, there is something wrong as Anna cannot stand to be even near River!

And now is your turn to find out what happened between, how to fix it and eventually fix their relationship. Or not. That part is up to you. But you will have to tread lightly and carefully, because two girls angry at each other can be unpredictable.

It is a simple setting but can generate a serious amount of fun. Even more fun is assured by the gorgeous pictures that can be achieved with iRay. With some trial-and-error based learning, as you can see with this early draft:

The final result is really worth it, even though you have to be little masochistic to make the whole thing with iRay.

Here are some more pictures:

If you are asking yourselves how in the name of the unholy fuck would they ever get someplace else than the ship, the answer is: via flashbacks! The whole story unravels at two levels.

The first, as mentioned, is you and the girls on board of a ship and the second are memories you are about to explore to figure out what caused the current animosity.

I will talk about the story structure, mechanics and other technicalities next week. But you are all more interested in the release date. At this point I have to mention some not so good news.

Since the whole thing got really big (over 2 000 pictures) and the rendering times are shit, I won’t be able to finish it all for the summer. So, I’ve decided to split it into two equally large parts.

But don’t worry, it is still the full-sized sexy fun time we all love so much.

Anna 2: Part 1 releases July 24!

See you next week!

Yours
MrStomper

July 3rd Update: July 5th

It feels like every year I intend to do a fun set of themed images to go with July 5th. But then I’m always working on a game at this time of year.

Well, not this time!

I went with the top 3 winners of the recent playoffs. There’s also a bonus image of Maddison with another hair style.

Happy 5th of July everyone!

May 29th Update – Playoff results

The results are in!

The full list is below, and as most of you can already see, the winner is…Rachel! Leanna takes second place and Maddison third.

An interesting experiment with a few nice surprises. Maddison didn’t win as an obvious one, but I did suspect something like this might happen. She has her fanbase, but she also has a notable amount of players who really don’t like her. Rachel as the winner makes more sense. Her fanbase isn’t as loud, but it’s there and everyone seem to like her to some degree.

Other interesting results include Mia and Katie doing surprisingly well. Molly doing more ‘average’ than I would have thought. Violet beasts April in the Bynes family+ group.

Let me know if there’s any surprises for you!

Oh, and in case you were wondering, it’s Carol from Photographer Part 3 who came last. 🙂

Without further delay, here’s the full list. The results rating is out of 3 (if you want it to to be out of 10, just multiply the result by 3.33). This is because the rating was calculated by defining the average of the three ratings.

May 22nd Update

Playoffs : final round!

Next week, I’ll be doing the calculations and presenting the full ranking.

Last reminder of the rules : I’ve got 56 characters altogether. You can give each character a rating A = 3 points, B = 2 points, C = 1 point. After  4 weeks of polls, I calculate the score of each character, weighted against how many people voted for them (so they don’t just win by getting more votes, it’s what types of votes they get).

May 1st Update – The VDG playoffs

I’ve been looking for something fun to do over a series of weeks here on the site. After careful consideration , I thought a good idea would be…character playoffs!

Over the years, I’ve done the occasional poll where visitors can choose their favorite, but I’ve never done a definitive list where we end up with all of the characters ranked.

If my math is correct, we can get the list finished in 4 weeks of rounds. So, that means 4 weeks of polls, then I guess I’ll make something fun with some of the top ladies.

Here’s the rules : I’ve got 56 characters altogether. You can give each character a rating A = 3 points, B = 2 points, C = 1 point. After  4 weeks of polls, I calculate the score of each character, weighted against how many people voted for them (so they don’t just win by getting more votes, it’s what types of votes they get).

The characters will be in alphabetical order, so let’s get started.

February 10th Update

So, what’s happening on vdategames in 2020?

I’ve toyed with a few ways to open this blog post, but found myself completely unable to settle on anything. So, I’m just going to bluntly state it – I’m taking a year away from the site and making games.

As at least some of you will know, making these games and maintaining the site isn’t my main job. I have a ‘real life’ career I juggle alongside it. There is a massive opportunity for me to do something with it this year, and it’s really hard to say no, so I’m taking it.

It’s something I knew would be happening for a while now, hence I’ve tried to tie up any loose story arcs lately (such as finishing the Crystal and Photographer trilogies). There is also the possibility that, should it go particularly well, my retirement from these games won’t be too far to away.

It’s hard to say at this point. I’ll be able to give you a much clearly picture on how many more of these games I’m likely to make at the end of the year.

We all know I’m not going to be making games like this forever, but this isn’t the end just yet. More the beginning of the end perhaps.

So, what is happening on this site this year?

Well, I’ll still be making blog posts at least once a month. I’ll be making some renders for fun, and probably small galleries for holidays (July 4th, Halloween etc).

Other contributors will also (probably) still be releasing games. I’m assuming dsp3000 will have at least one game this year, and we may hear from MrStomper.

I will also be releasing some games for free (from the members section), throughout the year. The next free game will be released on Friday the 21st.

Farewell?

This is certainly an au revoir rather than an adieu. I won’t be going too far. I’ll still be around on the blog if you have questions.

But, for now I’m taking a step back for what is set to be a very exciting year for me.

So, let’s finish on a positive note and a Valentines themed render.

Chaotic
