HEY!

Oh, okay. As long as you're here, you may as well see the latest Ticklish Situations screenshot. But next time, you better listen.

Looks intriguing Phin. I can't wait to see the finished article.

 

[TickleMantis]

Telling people not to come in is asking for it. But you knew that!😀

 

[Limeoutsider]

Jeopardy with a twist! (Christ would I lose!!!) Great marketing ploy

 

[BigJim]

I actually want to see this show on mainstream TV!

 

[Phineas]

that's kinda how I got the idea for it, actually. 😀

I've been billing it as a parody of "reality" game shows because after all, people watch 'em to see the contestants go through hell. Tickling was just the next logical step...

 

[BigJim]

We might be able to do this. A few TMF members getting tickled as a quiz. That would make a fun video!

 

[Darkknight]

Sure... I listened for a while and then I couldn't take it. And here I find out the progress on your Ticklish Situations program!

I promise to never listen again! Looking good! Been patiently waiting for this for a while. Can't wait to check it out.

yea, tell me about it. 😀 Recently I realized I've been working on this thing for over a year and a half. It is, however, one of the most complicated pieces of software I've ever written. You guys have *no* idea what is going into the making of this thing...

...sure would. However, given how many people have responded to my periodic requests for TS models here on the forums (zero), it'll never happen. Shame too, we have some good-looking folks here.

Have you thought about other mediums of advertising Phin? And have you thought about paying for it?

Have you thought about other mediums of advertising Phin? And have you thought about paying for it?

I advertise on One Model Place, and I also network and give out my business card to folks I meet. As for payment? That's the tricky part. I was originally offering royalties, but as I don't know when the game's going to be released, that's not much incentive (although the shoot's only two hours, so it's not like I'm trying to gyp anyone).

However, and this is still uncertain, my company will be releasing its first wireless gaming title pretty much any day now (depends on my distributor's speed in getting to market), so if the profits are good I can offer up-front cash. Prolly not as much as most models make, but not bad for a two-hour deal, either.

I realize it's tough, but you'd think people actually *into* tickling would be willing to help out with this sort of thing.

 

[BigJim]

Just out of intrest Phin, did you specify that potential models had to have ticklish feet?

 

[Phineas]

not specifically. if a model's not all that ticklish, I've developed ways to work around it. the good news is, though, that you don't really *have* to specify that; if a model is interested in posing for a game called "Ticklish Situations", she pretty much knows what she's getting into. 's never been an issue yet.

since my animation isn't of amazingly high quality, I can get away with using less-than-ticklish models. I prefer not to, but hey, beggars can't be choosers.

Nice advertising!😉

Reverse psychology... great marketing ploy, mate!

Anyway, this program looks good from the screenshot so far. The finished article is likely to blow the lot of us away! Hell, it's probably a first in the tickling community!

...now don't you wish you hadn't turned me down when I asked you to do the art for it? 😉

you're right though, it will be a first for this crew. MJT Publishing has already produced a text tickling adventure, but not only will this be the first graphical game, but it will have multiplayer. That's right friends, Ticklish Situations will be playable over the Internet. It's already partially working in that respect.

 

[aphrael]

it looks awesome so far!
when do you think youll finish it?

 

[grippedchimp]

Me? Do the art? Oh bollocks, I never thought of that!

Actually, that sounds like a VERY good idea. Since summer upon me, I should have enought time to draw out the models. You can e-mail me on ideas at [email protected]

 

[dtrell]

ive been waiting for a year so whenever you get it out thatll be great

 

[grippedchimp]

Just wondered WHO from my art would you like to see? Or how about I draw some of the TMF females for the game. Just e-mail me, as usual.

grippy,

sorry I haven't contacted you yet. Things have been... bad. I'll send you a full-blown breakdown of the sorts of things I'm interested in having you do later tonight, when I get to work on my various development projects. I've had some time to think about your involvement and get a handle on what I'd like to ask you for, so expect to hear all about it soon as I can get it organized.

thanks,
Phin
(hating life right now)
