Whoremonger is a story about redemption and new beginnings.
It’s a story about a protagonist who has suffered a serious injustice and who has lost almost everything in his life.
Where does he go from here?
Who is he?
What kind of person will he become, after realizing that living a “normal” life did not protect him from injustice,
heartache and misery.
In Whoremonger, you can help him decide what path to walk,
as he starts life over and searches for something special in his life.​
Whoremonger NTE – Act 1.01
What’s the Same?
The core story and most of the renders are the same as the original version. What I did though was change this from the pseudo-sandbox type of game it was before, into a pure Visual Novel format that is much easier to read and play.
It’s not a kinetic VN though. You have to make many choices in this game, and each of those choices will either set you on a specific path, or change some of the content you see.
What’s Different?
So much more! Not only are there over 300 new images that I made, but there is also 10,000 new words of dialogue, 29 new music and sound files, and thousands of lines of new code for features and improvements. Also, there’s no patches required anymore… fuck that! This VN is openly incest themed! *grin*
So, even though this is still officially “Act I” of this story, it’s an almost completely new version of Act I, with much richer dialogue, a couple of new scenes (including a major Lewd scene) more features, added renders and many other improvements! And there is a gallery now!
As well, 19,000 lines of code were completely re-written in the background. I’ve learned a lot over the last couple of years and applied that to this new version. Not only will this make Whoremonger better running, with fewer bugs (I hope!), it also provides a framework where I can easily add new content moving forward. That’s because I am planning on finishing this story! It sat abandoned for far too long.
And, even with all the new content and improvements; because I converted all the images to WEBP format, the Build size for this version is still over 110MB smaller than the original while keeping the images at the same quality! With luck, I might be able to finish this story and still slip under the 2GB file limit in Android. (I haven’t done an Android build yet, but that’s on my To-Do list for next update)
What’s Ahead?
My plan is to alternate my work between Whoremonger and my newer project, A Dark Horse Riding. I’ve learned from other Devs that this is one of the best ways to avoid burn-out on one project. Instead, after each content update, I’ll switch to the other project. I started re-doing Whoremonger around January 10th or so, and it was probably the most work I have crammed into four weeks ever! But it totally recharged my interest and got my creative juices flowing again.
So look for the next update in Dark Horse in about a month or so, and then back to this one.
