You could also include mod support for pictures.  So, actors/scenes show default pictures where everyone is fully clothed, but people can mod in the nekkid photos if they want.

So here's what we've been up to:

Release date:  We've had to push our release back to Q1 of 2015 for financial and quality reasons.  The decision was based on the fact that there was no reason to rush the product out of the door if it was just going to put a strain on the team.  Especially during an already stressful time of year.

Publishers/Partnerships: Game industry publishers have been surprisingly interested in seeing Triple X Tycoon come to fruition.  Our motives in pursuing additional funds by taking the traditional route is based around the scope of what we're trying to do here.  While it is absolutely possible to create the game start to finish the indie way, this increases the risk on our already risky project to an uncomfortable level.  We plan to continue supporting and following up this release without severely weakening the company in the process. 

Interesting enough, the majority of the publishers we've come to terms with have been European while only names outside of the games industry are taking up negotiations with us here in the US.  We believe this will ultimately lead to a better game.

The demo: As a result of what we've already mentioned we do plan to release the demo sometime this month(December). In the meantime we still have some decisions to make regarding the UI, random events and other occurrences that might take place.  Immediately prior to or following the release of the demo we plan to make an announcement that should specify whether or not we'll be moving forward with a publisher or not and what that means for the game.

Regarding the nudity issue, we found a solution.  Thanks for the suggestions! Stay curious.

But I wanted to ask Santa to bring me a porn game, I even installed a dance-pole in my chimney and made viagra cookies.

That's not too surprising, it seems to be the way things go. If you want to hav Disembowelling Simulator 2015 or whatever you're fine in the US, but if you want characters to touch butts, mention touching butts, or just think about touching butts then you're out of luck.

Only now? Get with the times m8.

This is a hilarious idea.  Most certainly PTW.

Right on 

So for those of you familiar with First Paradise, screens like this might seem a bit familiar.  This is an example of what you might see while progressing through the game.  We happen to be going by the name of Futzy Media.  The game's regular news, which would relate to industry events only can be brought up separately.  Updates that occur during time passage are broad events ad other news related to your studio.

And by the way, we are now crowdfunding.  The campaign, which currently needs votes to actually launch, can be found HERE via OffBeatr.

Go be our heros.

I might just play this game simply because the "No" option is "FUCK OFF"

Annoyingly enough can't vote due to oversensitive web filtering software on the router, but I'm totally offering support in spirit.
Which is worth a whole lot less than actual support, by the way.

At least you're honest!

Yeah, the publishers thought that was too edgy. Just that.

Try "Frak off" instead.

Update

Happy new year! We're still alive.  Still working on TXT.  Still shrinking publishers about their moral dilemmas which in turn put a damper on that demo due date.  Legal stuff. 

We're also hiring writers since we've been triple-tasking everything. You can apply, if interested, by sending an email to janitor[at]joy-toilet[dot]com with your name, resume, samples (if any) and experience (if any). The pay sucks so don't all jump at once. And don't forget your age because we make some vulgar shit around here.

We had a game jam to ring in the new year which gave us some interesting bits of code and an obscure, unrelated prototype we'll save for later.  As far as major occurrences regarding Triple X Tycoon goes, we're dumping half the UI for something more intuitive and maybe isometric and 2D in nature.  Of course that's going to burn a hole in our pockets but it'll be worth it!

Anyway, thanks to the folks who've been supporting us on Offbeatr.  Every vote counts!

Trust me, we've been working our asses off to make this a good game.  We got those votes we needed too, which warmed my heart just in time for this uninhabitable New York weather. Thanks supporters! Stay tuned, more news forthcoming.

PS: TXT got kicked from Indiedb..boo hoo.  So then, for your information visit xxx.joy-toilet.com

As usual, I'm always answering emails so send your questions, if any to janitor[at]joy-toilet[dot]com

Quick update, Doop actually posted a blog related to the game so go check that out! And in light of our recent improvements to the game's design, graphics and engine we went ahead and launched our crowdfunding campaign.  Once again, huge thanks to everyone who voted in the beginning!

[ChrisLeJohn]

Here's a quick introduction to the gameplay in addition to the new user-interface which can be viewed via Youtube.

I figured a proper introduction to a few things was in order which will be followed by a shoot example. If there's anything else you want to see us demonstrate we'll try and make it happen. Tweet us @JoyToilet or Doop @dooplejoy

So UI work's done... that's a good one to get done so you can start showing off I like that you've set a specific scope and are sticking to it too. It's better a modest but focused scope than an ever-bloating feature list.

And out of curiosity, do any of you have experience with the porn industry? The way some things are written on the blog make it seem like at least someone has.
