Concept Artwork: the Showgirls
🕑 Added 2021-08-04 17:58:37 +0000 UTCHello folks! Today I'm going to be talking about the Steam-exclusive questline for Claire's Quest, namely, the "Showgirls" Questline!
For those not in the loop, some of our content in the Steam version of Claire's Quest is removed due to censorship issues (see Discord for more info). To make up for it, our publisher generously offered to basically pledge at Tier V and sponsored the creation of a Showgirls Questline to make up for the missing content in Steam!
Note that the Steam version can be made available to any patron already pledged over USD 20 in total! Notably, this solves the issue for our German patrons who cannot access the Steam version due to local laws - you can get the Steam content in this way so fret not!
Now, onto what the Showgirls Questline will be all about!
The Showgirls Questline takes place in the Valos Slums, in a dilapidated housing block called the Maison Dorée. The area is not exactly known for its prosperity, and the Maison is no different. Most of the tenants have fallen on hard times, and the landlord is deeply frustrated after operating at a loss for months, and has decided to sell off the property. A prospective buyer intends to bulldoze the Maison Rouge completely and build a warehouse in its stead, which would displace all the tenants. This is where Claire comes in.
Claire will be able to attain the deed of the Maison Rouge through a variety of means, either buying the property outright, or an attribute-based approach, ie. using Intrigue to find enough faults with the property that the first buyer will pull out, or using Seduction to convince the landlord to give a steep discount, etc.
Upon acquiring the property, she meets with the various tenants to find out why they can't make rent - these include Chloe, Marjorlane, and Bailey, along with their respective partners and would-be partners. One of these is Valentin, a struggling artist who has fallen on hard times after a prolonged bout of uninspired work.
Eventually, Claire chances upon a business opportunity when she finds various nude sketches in Valentin's study of Chloe, who he has observed leaving and entering the Maison. However, having left the window open, the drawings fly out the window, and Claire has to chase them down.
She eventually finds the drawings being observed with great interest. A local plutocrat offers Claire a handsome sum to have these drawings for himself, and Claire realizes the value in them.
Going back to the Maison, Chloe can be persuaded by Claire to model nude for Valentin in exchange for Claire waiving rent. The drawings sell very well, and following this, Claire can recruit the tenants one by one for their various skillsets as well to model for Valentin.
Without spoiling too much, suffice to say this questline doesn't stop just at lewd drawings... Upgrades can be purchased, models persuaded into more and more risque acts, and kinks involved include exhibitionism/voyeur, swinging/open relationships, stripteasing, 'live' performances, and much more down the line. See Discord for more info!
Look forward to the first of the Showgirls content coming soon!

We're still planning the technical nuances behind something like that so for now it's basically a Steam version and a Patron version with interchangeable saves but on different game versions!

This isn't ingame art, this is purely concept artwork!
Why is the art in a completly new direction? I don´t mind it. But I think you would like the art in the game to be consistent.

Awesome! I think I'm there, or close :) But what I meant was, would that then be the full version, including the steam content but also the content that isn't on steam? So it's all in one big version?

After reading about it in more detail on discord it doesn't really sound like there's much in common here other than the name tbh. If anyone's in a position to findom here it's Claire as the new landlord, or maybe the plutocrat buying the pics. 🤷♂️ Sorry. On the bright side there's plenty of dom/sub content with the Temple of Fertility and Lawrence Fairfelt questlines! Hopefully that's close enough to what you have in mind.
ArchitectOfDystopia
Yes, as long as you pass the pledge total required (USD 20) for the Steam version cost!

Not a judgement, but I've been playing a game called Degrees of Lewdity lately, so the name Bailey has me imagining the parallels. Namely ones on the games subreddit, which people have a particular thing about Bailey owning the player (primarily financially, blackmailing the player into paying them due for "taking care" of them; the player character in said game is an orhpan, recently turned 18), and the idea of hate-fucking. Annoyingly I'll likely not be able to see the show girls quests for a while as I'm kinda near broke, but I'm antsy as hell to see what they're like personality wise. :3

Sweet! So would this content also make its way to the "full" / normal game version?
