.If I ever do add sexual crimes, I can guarantee you that you won't be able to perform them on children. That's something I definitely don't want to touch.
More than fair enough, as a matter of fact I would prefer not to have raping children in this game :D but if I created a game I probably would but regret it.

Yeah. All I do is hunt mermaids to sell their skulls as luxury items.

Yeah, I really appreciate that mermaid skull ashtray Muz. Really comes in handy, because while I don't personally smoke, whenever a fine lady comes over, I can be all like "Hey wanna light one up? I got a mermaid skull ashtray.".

Gets'em every time.

I've got no issues with adding child NPC's to the game once I've got some kind of family relationship system and proper schedules set up, so it'll be up to you whether you want to hurt them or not. I draw the line, for the time being, at sexual crimes. Everything else is permissible. If I ever do add sexual crimes, I can guarantee you that you won't be able to perform them on children. That's something I definitely don't want to touch.

Don't worry, so long as I have my human centipede, I'm happy.

You've let down your RPG Codex fans... :P

Well who cares they don't really love you.  Their darkened hearts are incapable of such an emotion. :)

Will there be able to chloroform and kidnap people then take pictures of them in compromising poses and post them to our character's facebook page?  I think adding some sort of facebook parody far down the line would be a really cool idea.

Or maybe twitter.  "Hot blond on 42d street.  Sneaking up on her now."

"Dam!!11 She ran away11 Gess shesa follower."

Reasonable.

It's cool you've laid out how basic the game is CrimsonKing, so these jackals don't get all disappointed. Also sounds like you've got a solid framework on which to build features into. Just one thing...

The "You hear sirens!" prompt will be removed so you won't know when they arrive.

You should be able to hear this sometime. Perhaps as you've become more infamous, cops respond to calls for service Hollywood style. The sound of sirens is one of those primordial things criminals react to, don't just blanketly get rid of it.

"You Hear Sirens" should be something that happens when you do your first 1-3 murders. After words though, the cops should stop using their sirens because your 'threat' level has increased due to the recent murders.

It'll be removed for the initial alpha version because there are no vehicles, hence no cop cars. The mental image I get at the moment, with that message, is of swarms of cops arriving on foot, vocally imitating the sounds of sirens. Rather disturbing, like something you'd see in Twin Peaks.

Edit:

Maybe they just park off map.

Good point. Okay, I'll leave it in.

Do you plan on accepting donations during the development? I'm sure there's at least a handful of people who would donate once you get a release out the door (myself being one of them).

What about the source code -- when you're 'finished', would you consider releasing it to the public?

Appreciated, but no. I'd feel uncomfortable receiving any money for the game. It's something I make in my spare time anyway, and donations would probably drive me to spend more time working on it than I want to.

The game is coded in Java. I might include another application that will allow you modify the code for weapons, NPC's and interactions so you can attempt to come up with your own stuff. That'll probably help greatly with development as well with the custom content that people will make.
