Down the Road [v0.3.0b] [Fasder]

December 27, 2024F95

Our main character, Eli (name can be changed if you so please), has a bit of a rough past where injustice and misfortune lingers, despite all he dislikes about his life he’s still holding down a job, he’s got a place to live and a good, albeit somewhat enigmatic friend, called Steve (not right in image, that is Alyx). In a moment of alcohol and drug infused honesty, they will all be pulled together to what will ultimately unravel this tale, only together can they face what is to come.

The game features a full story mode, where you will occasionally be prompted to explore a sandbox, which is entirely optional. In the sandbox mode you can find bonus images, mini games and small scenes, while entertaining, won’t be necessary to do. Down the road will feature animations with high frame rate and artwork that has been polish and improved upon since my start in game development. The artwork is heavily modified in one way or another, some more than others. It also features sound effects, music and ambient sound throughout the story.

Far Too Often Asked Questions:

Balloon tits?

Yeah, it’s what I like, it’s not going to change.

Will there be mother-son content?

No.

Sandbox:

There is an optional sandbox in the game. There is no grind.

What about Making a Mark?

I’ve been dealing with depression and other mental health issues.
I’m getting back on my feet though.
I started therapy again recently and it’s kind of kicking my ass. Development is very slow because of this as of March 2022.
The last version of MaM was intended to release in September/October of 2021, at the end of October, I realized there was no way I would be able to keep that date.
Since DtR is set during Christmas, I decided I would put all my effort into getting it ready for release.
MaM will be finished, eventually, I don’t exactly know when, but it’ll happen.

Still working on the last updates, but the interest in MaM is fairly low so it may be a while until it’s done. As of August 2023 I have one of the two remaining paths mostly done.

Will there be a harem?

Possibly, I haven’t really had that in mind, but I could see it working to an extent.

Mini games?

They are available in the sandbox, which is optional, by proxy they are also optional.

Dickgirls?

There will eventually be dickgirls, they are optional with a toggle in the fetish menu.
