Brainstorming Idea for 2024 - #MonsterGirl24
🕑 Added 2023-12-28 14:10:30 +0000 UTCWhile I did get behind in the end (still have about 60 rooms and two months to go), I did enjoy the #SexDungeon23 exercise. It was a XXX-rated spin-off of the #Dungeon23 idea, where creators are encouraged to design one room a day, with the eventual goal of ending up with a TTRGP megadungeon. I treated it as brainstorming a location for a succubus/monster girl H-game, and it's given me plenty of ideas (even if I still haven't finished).
I think brainstorming ideas like this are fairly useful, so I was thinking of doing something similar for 2024. The idea I came up with is #MonsterGirl24, which is a new monster girl idea, every day, for a year.
(I was originally going to call it #LustDaemon24, to represent they're probably all coming from the Dominion of Lust, but figured #MonsterGirl24 was better if I planned on posting snippets on Twitter.)
The monster girl/lust daemon can be for anything – short story, HoHH harlot, H-game monster. However, as it is just a brainstorming idea, I'm not planning to go into great detail on each. I'm thinking about a paragraph giving their appearance and what sex act they specialise in. Maybe what mechanics they'd have in HoHH or similar H-games. Enough to fit in a tweet ideally.
I'm usually pretty good at writing ideas down when I come up with them, but occasionally I get lazy, think I'll 'save' the ideas up to write down as a bunch later, then realise I've forgotten half of them when I do come to write them down. This should help me get into the habit of always writing them down!
It will also be a nice bit of additional content to post for patrons/subscribers. I've been pretty good on that for the past few years with regular monthly HoHH releases, and now art (commissioned, not drawn by me). Having extras is always nice as long as it doesn't distract me from the main projects.
Weirdly, although I did fall behind on #SexDungeon23, I was actually happy I had the discipline to recognise when work was piling up and knowing the brainstorming exercise was and should be the thing to cut while I got everything else sorted. This will be treated in the same way. If a deadline crunch is looming, it will be paused until the more important things are back on track.
The next question is when to start it. I still have two months of #SexDungeon23 to finish. I did think about starting it after that, but I think it would be better to start on Jan 1 and overlap them. The reason I can do this is I have a fairly strong opening cheat. I do write down a lot of my ideas. This means I have about 3 months' worth of unused H-space bestiary and HoHH harlots to draw upon. In effect I wouldn't be doing anything other than cut'n'pasting paragraphs across from my notes folders.
It might be a fun exercise for 2024.
Thoughts?

I generally do the brainstorming projects outside of regular work hours to avoid them clashing with the proper projects. And if the proper projects need more time, they get preference.

Yup. Only works if I keep it short. Ideally short enough to fit in a tweet.

sounds like a good exercise if you can just keep it to a paragraph description.

It sounds fun and (to my eyes at least) potentially more interesting than #SexDungeon23, which was cool to have but limited by design concerns i.e. the number of beings per area. As always though I’d be wary of starting any secondary project that could take time from the big goals e.g. HH or the seventh collection.
