The Edge of the Map [v0.03] [Testy McTestFace]

March 21, 2026F95

Having left your old life as well as your former identity behind, you start fresh in a new town.
Explore, meet people, build, destroy, love, kill, evade, get caught.
Do you want to be a skilled hacker? A ruthless crime lord? Just a regular Joe with a regular job?
A quiet life with your loving wife, a whole harem of devoted lovers in your luxurious villa
–
The sky is the limit at The Edge of the Map!

I aim for TEotM to be an in-depth sandbox game with the emphasis on
maximum player freedom, but packed in an intuitive, easily-understood UI.
I’m making this project mainly for fun, and to test out the limits of SugarCube/Twine.
Enjoy, and let me know what you think! I’m always looking for feedback

FAQ:

General:

So, what do I owe you?

Nothing! It’s for free!

Oh my god another AI slop fest, just commission some artists/models!

You’re completely right, and I’ll be the first to shit on AI with you all the way to the bottom.

AI is not and will never be art – the usage of AI on this project is purely a means to an end.

As much as I’d love to commission artists and/or models to provide me with art/photos – a game like this requires a lot of content even just for conceptualization, and I just don’t have that kind of money to fuel the process that way.

That said, I’ll try to provide the best quality content I can make with the newest generative models available.

So what exactly do you use AI for?

*Only* assets like backgrounds and characters. As for everything else – writing, coding, editing – it’s all me, myself and I.

There’s no fun in taking shortcuts – the coolest thing about making a project like this is having an idea, and then brainstorming ways to implement it in a way that would be cool to interact with 😀

Those AI images are so inconsistent between the scenes!

Having consistent faces between artificially generated images (especially when it comes to realistic depictions) is quite hard to achieve.

I’m currently experimenting with various techniques to end up with some level of consistency (LoRAs, training my own models, ControlNet & others).

However, I’m currently more focused on just expanding the game, coding new features and deepening the experience – switchingthe images in an already existing scene later is much more time-effective than doing all the perfect AI generation first, and then going for the dev part.

So, TL;DR – we’re getting there!

Why won’t you use real porn clips/images?

I agree wholeheartedly that it would be great, I love games that use real porn.

Do you know what I don’t exactly enjoy? Copyright Infringement lawsuits.

Using copyrighted work, even in a free game like this, still requires a go-ahead from the rightful copyright owners.

I did my due dilligence though, before you start asking – I reached out to every single porn and erotica company/studio I could think of, requesting a permission to use some of ther material in my project.

95% of them did not even reply back, and as for the ones that did – if I had that kind of money they asked for licensing, I probably wouldn’t need to work for the rest of my life 😀

In conclusion, is what it is – although I’d really like to use real porn in here, all it takes is some bored moneyman having a bad day to ruin the whole project. That, plus Patreon and SubStar really do not like copyright infringement on their platforms.

How do you make this game?

I regularly post devlogs with behind the scenes materials on Patreon/SubscribeStar. If you want to see the concepts I use, the creation process, the tools – it’s all there.

That, plus you gain access to the game before the public release 🙂

Hey, I have a question!

Hit me up in the dms, on Twitter/Bluesky, tag me on the game thread on F95 – whichever channel you like, I regularly check all of them!

Patreon/SubscribeStar

The game is free, why do you have crowdfunding platforms?

Both my Patreon and SubscribeStar exist purely for one reason – if you want to support my current project, as well as any other ones what I’ll develop in the future.

Let me be very clear on this – *you don’t owe me anything*.

If you just want to play the game, there is not, nor ever will be any in-game content locked behind a paywall.
