It&#8217;s a sex-positive action game, that&#8217;s located in a modern fantasy world, where demons have taken over. On Discord, I have described it as a direct sequel to BMO TV in the same universe, although mechanically it will be a very different game, specifically it is described as a <strong>2D topdown shooter<\/strong>. It will still contain all the <strong>TF elements<\/strong> that you love. The above image does not depict those TFs. Instead, these are <strong>early concept arts<\/strong> for the enemies. The graphic was just used as a visualization to describe the game story to the judges, but during the concept phase they will be completely redone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Film- und Medienstiftung NRW is the main games funding institution in Northrine-Westphalia (one of the sixteen German federal states) and gets its money<strong> directly from the government<\/strong>, as well as the big TV stations.

So you don&#8217;t need to worry about BMO TV not getting finished. I&#8217;m only going to spend a <strong>few hours every week<\/strong> on this project for now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The money mostly goes to the artist for creating concept art, as well as the sex-positivity coaches for helping me define the different demon tribes, that function as metaphors for bdsm communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As a first step, I&#8217;m looking to create a list of <strong>real-world bdsm &amp; lgbtq communities<\/strong> that would be interesting to include in the game. That does NOT mean a list of TF tropes, but rather actual kink &amp; fetish communities, that would be interesting to have as characters. I have started a discussion on Discord in the #general channel in the Kinky Demons category. Please let me know, if you have an interesting community in mind, that would be great to put in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>It will still take a long time before I have new information about the project, but I&#8217;ll keep you updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best,<br>Rel<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Film- und Medienstiftung NRW (Film &amp; Media Fund Northrine-Westphalia) is giving Rel.Pink 20.000\u20ac to create a concept document for the upcoming game Kinky Demons.
