Heya! I'm making Off the Cuff! I've always wanted to try my hand at making something pretty risque. Trying to shake off feeling embarrassed about these sorts of things and just GO for it! It'll be a short, free, very BDSMy visual novel, where the main character is locked up and has a bunch of conversation options with the captor, trying to trick him into giving you the means of escape. (Or, you could, you know, just sit back and enjoy. Main character's a bit of a freak. )

I'm currently over 12k words in, and I've got rough assets in place, as well as the scripting for the core gameplay loop. I'm building it in Ren'Py, which I've used before. I'm hoping to finish the bulk of the text before the end of October, so I have all of November to draw assets, and record sound effects and narrate the whole thing! It's not much longer than the VN I made last year, so I'm confident that I'll have it all done by the November 30th Lewd Jam deadline.

Here's a mockup with roughs:



That's the antagonist. And here's the main character: 



Thank you for stopping by! It's been fun writing what I have so far! If this goes well, making weird, pain-romance games might turn into an annual thing for me, and I'll do it a third time next year!

Working on some CGs:




And that's all for right now!

Still trucking, with another update, and a mini audio drama! https://alexisroyce.itch.io/offthecuff/devlog/53944/this-game-has-a-sound-check I'm also gonna edit the top post and put the artwork for the finalized baner up there.

And with a word count of 23,000, done with the bulk of the text! Update here: https://alexisroyce.itch.io/offthecuff/devlog/55893/this-game-needs-playtesters



Playtest build ready! If anyone would like to play it and give feedback, now is the time, and it would be much appreciated! https://alexisroyce.itch.io/offthecuff/devlog/57236/playtest-build-ready

Whooo! Game completed and posted to the jam. What a ride.

Last update I'll make here! The game's been downloaded 1,500 times, and so I did a little thank-you pinup of Exit. And I've also got a small poll up, if anyone wants a peek at what I'll make next: https://alexisroyce.itch.io/offthecuff/devlog/65384/thank-you-for-1500-downloads

See ya!
