Fantastic poster from @simplyNTK
The development of this project is a somewhat interesting tale. I played Baldur’s Gate 3 in Early Access in 2020, quickly hit the level cap while exploring Act 1 and... lost interest. When it had its full release in 2023, I was really happy for the studio, and it was great to see them rewarded with so many awards. I considered making a tickle game based on the characters, but the difficulty in making characters like Karlach really turned me off the idea. I didn’t really have quite the same resources and skill with the character generator I had now, so I put it off. When I finally got round to playing the game properly in mid 2024, I was so blown away! I was a little wary of it feeling a bit too like Tales of the Ticklish Dragonborn due to the similar fantasy setting, and I also struggled a lot with if I wanted to implement a sort of dice-roll system and what implications that would have for gameplay. In the end, I went for something with minimal gameplay consequences but captured the spirit of it, and I think it was the right choice. Anyway, I really enjoyed making this game, and I hope you enjoy playing it too. Fare thee well, gamer!
What to expect in this game?
1. 55,000+ words worth of high-quality writing to describe the ticklish situations of the five protagonists and their ticklish misadventures. I have tried to keep to the spirit of the source material as close as I can. Thus, as befitting a rather horny game, there are quite a lot of scenes of a sexual nature, with lots of both /F and /M tickling.
2. Five distinct 'Tavs' to play as to reflect the diverse role-playing experience -- they are romance-obsessed female elf bard , traumatised, hateful male drow sorcerer, heroic but romantically flaky male tiefling fighter, sneaky, deeply insecure female gnome thief, and spunky, pacifistic blonde wood elf monk. Each Tav will have two long, multi-part adventures featuring key elements of the story, like confronting the Emperor, exploring the Gauntlet of Shar, and looting the House of Hope. There will also be several 'camp' scenes with emphasis on intimate scenes.
3. Featuring all the BG3 favourites and more! A list of most of the characters that will be in the game is shown below (mild spoilers):
4. Turn-based gameplay that is sparing, unique, and flavourful. It’s actually been about two years since I’ve made a game with turn-based combat, and that’s mainly because of some strong feedback I received that players were not really enjoying it. Thus, I decided to adopt an approach I’ve seen in the inspiration for this game, and try to greatly reduce the number of battles. Among the ten quests, there are only five battles. Each of them have a unique party, unique mechanics, and unique foes. There will be no ‘trash mobs’, no grinding, and no frustration (hopefully!)
5. The modular quest design means it will be easy to replay all your favourite scenes without needing a ton of saves (though I still recommend making plenty of them).
