Inc House v0.105a Public Release

Hello public peeps, Whimfu1 here. Inc House v0.105a is now available to everyone.

Lots has happened since my last public update. If you did not see my other post, I will be trying to finish the game within 6 months. This is in an attempt to beat the possibility that the recent takedowns of NSFW games hits Patreon and Subscribestar. For more information on that please read through the post either here for Patrons or here for Subscribestars.



On another note, the next community voted NPC is being decided now. We’re in the Round Robin Stage so get in early to decide the bracket. I’ll be picking up the pace on these votes soon so watch out for the next batch tomorrow.

Moving on to the update, I believe since the last public demo Lori, Ronnie Anne, and Leni’s story climax have been added. This came with a bunch new flags so I’m sorry, your save is likely broken. After working so long on this game, I’ve grown a new appreciation for developers who can make prior saves work. I just have never had the foresight.

Thank you for playing the game. Please consider joining the Patreon or Subscribestar to help choose the next NPC. And I’ll talk to you soon.

Week 41 Mafia Wife and Worrisome News about NSFW Games

 

Whimfu1 here.

There’s been some worrisome news in the NSFW games industry. If you haven’t heard, both Steam and itch have been removing certain NSFW games to comply with Visa and Mastercard guidelines. I won’t get into the exact specifics but I personally believe there is a chance Patreon and, less so, Subscribestar could implement changes as well.

What does this mean for the game? It’s honestly lighting a fire under my ass. The new goal is to finish the game in 6 months.

This is a really hard task and I don’t take it lightly. I feel incredibly lucky the game is as far as it is to even try this. I will mainly focus on rearranging what I have but, don’t worry, new H-scenes will be added as well. What I’m hoping for is to finish the main story and return to clean up the side quests with the knowledge I could get deplatformed at any moment. I’m fairly confident I’ll be able to get the storylines for Leni, Luna, and Rita done in this time frame and I’d see that as a win if I could do that.

What if I get deplatformed? Let’s be clear, this is a huge possibility. As of this morning, 21,000 games were delisted from itch. It could easily happen here.

For now you can still follow the Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/whimgames and the Subscribestar: https://subscribestar.adult/whimgames . But these may not be up forever.

Patreon has changed their rules in the past and Subscribestar is a prime target for the takedown. I will continue to work on the game regardless however, if it happens, the best place to reach me is my Deviant Art Account: https://www.deviantart.com/whimfu1

I did have an old blog as well but I won’t be updating that unless I get deplatformed. Still, this is the link to it: https://inchousegame.blogspot.com/

Now that you know where to find me, let’s talk about the polls and such. The polls to choose the next NPC will be accelerated. I want to know who it will be as quick as possible so if things do go down then the community will still have chosen them. I will be putting the pin-up polls on pause for a while as I do this so I can focus on the NPC polls and the game as a whole.

The public version of Inc House v0.105a will also come out today. It will likely be in the middle of the night as I’ve taken a long time to write this post. I won’t be able to offer much hotfix support as I’m jumping straight into v0.11a afterward. This sucks but I really think things may go down soon.

Thank you for all the support you have given Inc House. My wish has always been to get a finished game out and I won’t let the current chaos distract me.

-Whimfu1

PS: It stinks that I need to write such a serious post when I was so proud of the pin-up this week. I was going to even try some other cool things with it when this stuff popped up. Still, this week’s winner was the: King Pin and Mafia Wife Theme. Vote wise it was:

3 votes for Magicians Assistants

1 vote for the Nun

5 votes for the Mafia Wife

I kept it in the game’s style for this one as I’m hoping to draw some attention to the public launch today, however I’m gonna release it on it's own for now to get eyes on the post. Anyways, that’s it for now, talk to you soon.

Inc House - Rita's Miltank Cosplay Halloween 2023

 Whimfu1 here.

It wasn’t really promised but I mentioned I was going to try and include Rita in my previous Halloween pic. However, she didn’t fit well in the composition so I elected to remove her. Instead, here is Rita dressed like the Pokemon: Miltank. I don’t remember what season this one is from however I thought it was popular at the time. Weirdly, I found very few fanarts of Miltank to go off of so the clothing pattern is wrong. Oh well.

About the game.

Version 0.02a is about done. There’s some stream lining interactions I’d like to do however it is playable as is. I’m going to spend one day fixing a few things and move on. Once that’s done I plan to start the process of opening a Patreon. Depending if I reach certain goals with support I’ll consider broadening the game to include versions of the other sisters as full heroines and not simply as cameo appearances as they are planned to be currently.

As things progress, where and how I update people about the game will likely change.

Inc House - Team Rocket Cosplay Halloween 2023

 

Whimfu1 here

Nothing visually new in the game so I tried to quickly draw a Halloween 2023 pic. I’ve missed a few holidays since starting this project so it feels nice to do a quick draw without much planning. Have a good one.

Inc House - Scramble Puzzle

 Whimfu1 here.

Mostly coding stuff this week so nothing sexy to show. Anyways, here's a minigame I struggled with for a while. It’s a bit hard to tell but the basic premise is that it’s a word scramble puzzle. You click and drag the letters into the correct box before time runs out to spell a word described by a hint.  The current plan is to have the book in Lincoln’s room be how you unlock new spells. For the first level it would be to study the book three times then have a choice of different puzzles to unlock a spell associated with it in the shop.

There’s a chance of failing which I’m still on the fence on. I’m debating whether to make the lust drain, eventually killing the player, an actual mechanic or only a narrative device. I do like games with a bit more interactivity however I worry I may be trying to shove in too many pointless actions for my own sake. This minigame may be a bit too cumbersome compared to the other games I have planned, however I believe it makes Lincoln feel as studious as the in-game dialogue suggests. I may scale this back depending on people’s reaction to v0.02a.

Inc House - Rita Couch Stage 2 WIP Lined

 

Whimfu1 here.

Most of my efforts in the past week have been towards making stage 2 in the Rita Couch Scene.

If you have been following these updates then you may recognize the image from a previous sketch. It will take some time to finish this stage. More to the sense that I had to pre-plan which parts to keep separate and which parts to group together. This has caused many issues as I have been hand animating the motions. I’m considering looking for another drawing program for animation more akin to older flash; however I will continue with Krita for now.

I’m worried that my skills may have reached some sort of limit as I don’t know if my animations will be arousing enough. For this pinching scene you can tell I’m using the warp tool to stretch from the original position. When the player clicks on this area, I hope that the feeling that you are the one choosing to do this transfers through. This is taking a lot of screens to do and I don’t know if my limit animations will pull through. I will have to wait till the 0.02a to see what people think.

Inc House - Lola in the Mirror WIP

 Whimfu1 here.

Quick thing about the image for Screenshot Saturday. This is a placeholder sketch of what will be used as the mirror “store” for purchasing magic powers. I hope to make minor scenes with a shadow version of Lola available in the future as well. Right now, items are only flags as the inventory is not ready.

I’m working on making things fit together right now. Due to how I partitioned the game, it would not play properly from the original start to end of new content without a debug code I was using. As I continue on the 0.02a update, I have reached somewhat of an impasse. I could just fix the bugs and release it as is, however I don’t plan to. I worry I have not put enough H content in yet to warrant the v0.02a moniker. For myself, I think there needs to be one more big H-scene before I release v0.02a, so I will not post the next update in early October as I wanted to do. Once I finish the big must haves to make the update feel complete, I’ll go ahead and post the next demo. My goals are currently self imposed so it’s not a big deal however, when I open a Patreon, I will set a strict schedule for myself. Thank you for all the watches, comments, and messages I have received throughout this process. It means a lot.

Inc House - Rita Couch Stage 2 WIP

Whimfu1 here.

“Screenshot Saturday” with a work in progress image. This image may not even come into play until the 0.3a update. This is slated to be the next stage after the massage scene on the couch with Rita. The premise being you can click the hands to set your state and then massage her that way. This is a common type of minigame that is found elsewhere. I’ll go into specifics on the blog. Either way, not sure how to do this fully so it won’t be included yet. The issue with the next part is it will likely need a puppet and I’m not confident that will work well in Krita.

If you are a connoisseur of these types of game you will likely recognize the set up. Choose a petting hand, a pinching hand, remove clothes, and the logo blocks the insertion option. I’m still fiddling with how the screens in Ren’py are and I will admit this will be a lot of work. Specifically, in the current way I found to do the first massage, I’m looking at up to 20 different screens for this stage of the minigame. The fact Ren’py cannot detect holding down mouse1 is really biting me in the butt. However, I will continue as this is something I want in the game. More interactivity, ect. Still messing with each option: grope, tongue, toy? Still not sure how to do it yet.

Inc House - Changing Room Kabedon Preview

 

Whimfu1 here.

Another “Screenshot Saturday” for everyone. This is a small preview of what follows meeting Lily. While this portion has been done for quite some time, I feel it’s important to keep these updates visually different. Most of my work has been on minigames this week. I fixed some stuff with Luna’s Shower Minigame and it feels 10x better than it did. Not much else to say but that. Planning the Patron and such.

Inc House - Lily Intro Preview

 

Whimfu1 here.

Continuing work on the game. I’m trying to aim for version 0.02a to be released in early October. The image above includes a preview of “the new girl”, Lily. She is working at the same store Leni is and will be a minor side character. I do want to state, I don’t know how far the other character’s stories will go. I plan to launch a Patreon and will likely include a funding goal to expand the game to the other heroines. While I do believe this is a “Chekhov’s Gun” situation, doing side characters would take too much of my time, I will likely keep it to a one scene maximum for side heroines. In this way, I hope the game will be easier to finish.

One thing I should mention is that Lily does look different as she was ported from my previous game attempt “Loud Dorm”. I did set her colors to be more inline with the “Inc House” aesthetic however the line work is not. This isn’t a big issue at the moment however her style may change when I go further along. I think an overall goth look for all characters would be better.

Inc House - Luna Shower Minigame Preview

 

Whimfu1 here.

Was working on this but forgot to post it for “Screenshot Saturday”. Here we have the first shower scene, featuring Luna, which will require a power to access. The art works well however the functionality is not there yet. I’m pretty far behind with the mechanics for the next update and had to scale it back. Turns out Ren’py can not handle click and hold commands. It can only detect mouse down and mouse up commands so right now it’s currently controlled by those text buttons on top. I don’t expect to get the minigame functional by v0.02a however this is a good first preview.

This minigame is inspired by the old flash games by Meet & Fuck. The idea is that you will feed a progress bar by peeking while Luna is distracted. At random intervals Luna will begin to notice the player’s peeking and you must stop peeking before her anger bar fills too much. You win by filling up your progress bar all the way or lose if her anger maxes out. Right now, I’ve yet to figure out the functionality of the button press and doing random cycles for Luna’s behavior. Each heroine should have her own version, Luna’s will tie into the story first and unlock the others on subsequent uploads.

Inc House - Luna Garage Practice

 

Whimfu1 here.

Continuing on with another “Screenshot Saturday”, here is the still for a repeatable event with Luna. After love level 1, you will now be able to visit Luna when she practices in the Garage. It may not make it into the 0.02a update but this will then lead into a H-scene after guessing the correct song when she asks if you “have any requests”.

Expanded Blog Portion:

As I start to add content to the game, some of the places where you could talk to the heroines normally will disappear. Such places will be repeatable events such as Rita on the couch most weekdays, Luna guitar practice, and the shower scenes with the girls. For now, I’m working on the section before the image above where you figure out the code you will need to unlock the next h-scene. This will include peeking on Luna while she is in the shower which will hopefully involve a stealth minigame. I’m trying to work on a piece of story for each of the girls in this section which is a bit ambitious. I will likely address my update schedule when I launch a patreon.

Inc House - Rita Couch Preview

 

Whimfu1 here.

As I progress with v0.02a of Inc House, I have decided to start “Screenshot Saturdays” an idea I got from listening to a “GDC” talk. This will hopefully help my productivity with visible game aspects while also ensuring people that I am still actively working on the project. On Deviant Art I will likely only give a broad update and keep more explicit details for my blog.

Inc House v0.01a is still out and links are available on my blog. The file uploads timeout after 10 days of inactivity from either side so if you missed v0.01a it will no longer be available in about a week's time.

About this post:

Above you’ll find the preview of “Movie Night” with Rita. I have placed the logo where Lincoln will be sitting. This will be a repeatable event and repeating said event will cause it to become lewder each time.

Expanded Explanation for the Blog:

As this game will hopefully harken to many h-games, I wanted to include the common trope of “Movie Nights” with the landlord character. Right now, this is just a preview of the start scene where Rita will be sitting watching tv with Lincoln during the Evenings. I would also like to include a possible massage minigame, however I don’t think I’m up to that yet. My art is still pretty weak and the set up is not apt for clicking hotspots. Instead, I am considering a click and drag a hand icon to either her thigh or breast, with rejection occurring if Rita’s affection is not high enough. This will then lead to H-scene where Lincoln is losing control of his lust due to Lola’s influence.

That’s it for now. I hope to keep this up both here and likely on a future Patreon. See ya!

Inc House Alpha Demo 0.01a Download Links

 

Here are the links to "Inc House" version 0.01a. The file names should appear as "IncHouse-0.01a-pc.zip" and "IncHouse-0.01a-mac.zip". At a slower reading speed, the alpha demo may last about 30 minutes. However, I did know where to go and the fastest paths to heroines. I'll be paying attention to my posts so please let me know you thoughts, suggestions, or ideas about the game. I will be setting up some sort of Patreon and this will help me decide what my funding goals may be.

Blog Overview

 

Whimfu1 here.

If you have stumbled upon this blog, I must first warn you the contents here by is in regards to an +18 game. Please leave if you are not of age in your respective country.

With all that said, allow me to introduce you to myself and my current project: Inc House.

My name is Whimfu1 and I am currently the sole writer, artist, and developer of "Inc House". "Inc House" is a point and click, erotic parody game surrounding the life of Lincoln after he inadvertently curses himself by summoning a Succubus. Gameplay revolves around balancing daily life and seducing heroines to survive. Current characters include:

Lincoln - A prodigy graduate student  in the chemistry department of the college. Now that he has become an adult, he sees a chance to finally act on his feelings for his Roommate, Leni.

Leni - Fashionista extraordinaire, currently in her last year of a business degree. While aloof, she seems to derive much enjoyment from making Lincoln squirm.

Luna - British exchange student studying music production with the aims of making it big as a musician. She is blunt and seems to be more upset than usual due to a recent event yet uncovered.

Rita - While she seems to always be out of it, she is actually the reluctant Landlord of the home. Her time is spent relaxing and showering Lincoln with a little too much affection.

Lola - A Succubus trapped inside Lincoln's body after a botched summoning ritual. Her attitude is laissez faire at best and she seems to be hiding something under her playful demeanor.

As an adept reader may notice, this list is missing quite a few characters that would be associated with this parody project. The main reason for this is I am unsure how large I can make this game without being overwhelmed. The origin of this parody is known for a large ensemble cast of main characters, side characters, and even background characters. I would love to include them, however I am prioritizing a game I'm more likely to finish. I have pared back several times to get the game to a comfortable size. This does not mean it will never happen, on the contrary, the current version of the game is set up so I could add additional characters incrementally if the time and resources are there. So for now, the game will revolve around three main heroines at a centralized location.

I want to be completely transparent and will answer any question about development or the game regardless of spoilers.

Thank you for your interest. I will be releasing the alpha demo in the upcoming days. There isn't much now however critique on style and direction will be greatly appreciated.
