Had a long conversation in my discord server today about a potential new adult game that I wanted to summarize the ideas here:

• You play as a mechanic that is maintaining their robot girlfriend and it’s very intimate
• You have a manual detailing how to do the steps, and your robot girlfriend reacts in different ways as you perform the steps.
• The game takes place in first person, from the perspective of the mechanic
• Fix wiring, change attachments, replace parts
• Rebooting a robot forcefully could feel like involuntarily passing out, a graceful shutdown is like going to sleep.
• We only need assets to create the 3d scene and the robot model
• We could add alternate robot models, such as a robot boyfriend (or anything else really)
• It would be cool to make this into a multiplayer VR game where one person plays the robot and another plays the mechanic, but I think for now we should just scope this as a short 1 month gamejam game.
• Various repair scenarios could be either sfw or nsfw depending on what they are about, but we could choose just the sfw ones for now.
• We could take inspiration from wormz, who I followed on cohost! for a while.
  • They made a game called >meow
  • They made a zine that can be purchased here.
  • Refueling lubricant more often than usual: https://cohost.org/mrows/post/7088189-i-ve-gotten-a-simila
  • Technical manuals can range from romantic to arousing, depending on the quality of the technical manual: https://cohost.org/mrows/post/7008436-i-don-t-think-it-wou
  • Technical diagrams are like looking at erotic nude photos: https://cohost.org/mrows/post/6945365-i-d-say-she-finds-te
  • Modifying the programming can be ticklish: https://cohost.org/mrows/post/6555661-please-don-t-mess-ar
  • A robot that knows itself well can top another robot that doesn’t know itself that well yet: https://cohost.org/mrows/post/6157694-it-s-highly-improbab
  • Robots like being called things: https://cohost.org/mrows/post/6081828-she-s-kind-of-into-i

We also discussed briefly the idea of letting the player choose to become a robot using mind upload, and I thought it would be nice if when this happened the player asked the robot they’ve been maintaining to do it for them:

robot: I see you’ve been building another body, but you’re taking such good care of mine… what is it for?
robot: oh, i see… so you… want to be like me too?
robot: i can help you with that, if you want.

MAKE A CHOICE:
a) mind upload
b) mind upload

Gabby suggested the name right to repair, and I like that name so that’s what I’ll call it for now.
