so anyway the idea was a third person shooter game similar to SPLATOON or SENRAN KAGURA Peach Beach Splash but instead of ink and squids/waterguns and anime girls its water & inflators/inflatees
so the idea would be that that you shoot each other with squirt guns, water balloons and and garden hoses/pressure washers, and the emphasis would be on reviving downed teammates before the enemies can confirm the kill via a execution mechanic like in the gears of war wingman game mode, where they inflate the downed person until bursting. depending on your weapon you use when u execute them would have a different inflation themed take down animation/technique.
there would be a team death match,Free for all death match capture the flag, maybe even a battle royal if we get a bit ambitious
there would be a gimmick where the more damage you take the bigger you become so cover gets less effective and you slow down BUT your damage also increases and you maximum health increases so if you survive the fight and heal you have more effective hp for the night waterfight (you wont burst at zero hp, you will only burst when u get into a small bit into the negatives, you gon into a incapacaitated like state at zero and have to be revived by a teammate or you can be executed by an enemy. for simplicity sake
100hp max
at zero you are downed
downed is not bursted
you only burst if brought to -25 hp or executed by an enemy
idk there could be a whole lotta weapons like squirt guns that function like assault rifles, pistols smgs etc etc, water balloons would be grenades and such, tire pumps for a shotgun esque weapons, garden hoses for lmgs, pressure Washers for flame throwers, stomp rockets full of water ballons as mortar/grenade launcher and bottle rockets for rocket launchers
In the waning days of what would later be known as the Mutagenic Wars, ordnance transfers became increasingly difficult as cargo vessels capable of making the vast FTL jumps were attrited down by constant near-orbit fighting and overdue maintenance. Locally procured, replicating weapon systems were in high demand, inspiring the creation of the Dermally Applied Fattening Transductor weapons, which deliver a terrifying lab grown liquid mutagen capable of forcing a targetâs body to near-instantaneously produce life threatening amounts of blubber.
The best counter the wartime R&D departments could make was a pre-battle injection that hypercharged the metabolism of someone exposed to DAFT agents, but it takes so long to have an effect that most victims of the weapons exploded before their body could react.
GAMEPLAY : Gears of War, right? Except youâve got liquid-delivery weapons - âflame throwerâ spray guns, paintball style guns, shotguns that discharge a liter of the stuff at point blank range, direct-feed gloves (ala the chainsaw) that 1-hit-kill by slamming the palm over the targetâs mouth and stunlocking them as they rapidly swell to explosion (think the final human killed in the original The Thing)
The twist would be that if a player gets to the GoW-esque duck-and-heal stage, if they stay unhit long enough, their bodies rapidly reset to their thinner frames and they get a speed boost whose intensity and length is proportional to how close they were to exploding before their recovery. The metabolism boost bit coming into play. Most weapons would have a method for self-inflicting damage - risky, since an attack on you would put you at a major handicap, but potentially allowing you to get the edge on the enemy if the post-recovery boost was perfectly timed.
tbh not a fan of the sci fi and hyper serious war theme, i was going for more summer vacation beachside or water parks or aquariums maps with a with a summertime beach day aestetic, it would be like if splatoon and senran kagura peach beach splash had a inflation fetish filled (pun intended) forbidden lovechild
A shooter for inflation thatâs themed like a water-gun fight sounds like a great idea, that said, a few details Iâd like to ask if I may:
Firstly, is the popping the cartoonish kind? I get the feeling it is from what Iâm seeing from the vibes in general, but Iâd like to confirm. I wonât say my preference for or against as to not skew perception on which way to do it
Secondly, what are some of the âexecutionâ methods you had in mind? I can assume itâs all water inflation given the theming, so by âdifferent themeâ I imagine you mean emptying the clip point-blank on someone with a water-gun vs. shoving a water balloon in someoneâs mouth to finish them off.
Thirdly, what types of characters/art style did you have in mind, and would there be a choice which gender? I can see this really being anything from Dead Or Alive Volleyball bikini girls, to full on legally distinct Inklings, it could be anything really as longs as the designs are thematic. I just want to get a general idea on what weâd be seeing in terms of characters. Though I may be in the minority of doing ones I donât have a strong attraction to just âcause the gameplay is unique, character design is probably the biggest objective make or break for a kink-based game
And lastly, this idea sounds very much multiplayer focused, which I know is something people do with kink stuff (thereâs entire DnD campaigns dedicated to WG on this very forum), but for people whoâs friend-groups arenât massively into this type of thing, would there be any sort of single-player mode?
It could be a campaign or just arcade-style, I donât have a strong preference either way, I just want to throw that out there on the off chance this gets to a stable point so folks can mess around with it in private
Regardless of my questions, I hope something like this gets made, and if youâve got plans to attempt this yourself at any point I wish you luck~! This forum really deserves more shooters like this
firstly, the popping would be the cartoonish kind, they would be designated re spawn rooms/areas,
and have post credits, leaderboard/MVP award for âwho got the biggest without burstingâ, or hop popped the most enemies, who stayed the smallest consistently
as for as execution methods would be for example shove a water gun up butts or in mouths, maybe or picking them up and slamming onto a garden water sprinkler, an empty water balloon being stuffed into them via mouth or butt again then being filled while inside them. maybe just basic puff/blowkissing, or even have a designated weapon slot for executions, one of those squirt guns that look like a bike pump mixed with syringe, or a rubber ducky, or heck even force feed them cola and mentos, or just simply a bike pump , idk if i wanna include like actual sex stuff
i mean i guess males could be in it too (i want to at least include femboys/ twinks; maybe futas too idk?), i was also thinking about adding furry characters like imagine a furryâs dolphin or orca character popping someone with stream of air or a jet of water coming from their blowhole
for character style i was either thinking of anime girl swimsuits from bikinis to one piece suits, and tank tops and tube tops etc etc and of course full fan service beach episode outfits, and body proportions.
and thank you for the support, sadly i am no programmer or creator i am merely the idea guy/art direction guy, i have currently have no skills in actually making something like this. i would happily work with someone if they have the talent and time to teach me or make it with me
You had me at cartoonish popping, femboys (optionally of course), and furries!
Iâm personally a bit preoccupied with getting my first project on this forum to a playable state, but once thatâs in a good state Iâd love to check in and see if I canât offer at least some pointers to help get the idea off the ground. When youâre not doing something thatâs never been done before genre-wise, thereâs a surprising amount of resources out there to help make your game a reality, and for free no less
