thinking about making a (non-mlp) lewd game of some sort, and trying to map my options before committing to anything - the gameplay would be fairly standard for these types of things, in 2D, dialogue and image-heavy but no fancy animations or such, minor very simple minigamey stuff, mostly managing time and stats. my list right now is basically just:
- renpy
- rpgmaker
- unity
- flash
in order of my interest at the moment. i understand unity and flash would be the most powerful technically (barring actually starting fully from scratch) but i'm more of a scripter than a programmer and they'd require more work on getting just the basics running than i'm probably willing to put in. i know some unity but the 2d support isn't great, know zero flash.

any obvious options missing, or maybe like must-have expansions/assets for any of them? what would be the best version of rpg maker? i personally like the look of the one that does the native 320x240 res (it's likely what i'd go for anyway to speed up asset production and for the retro look even in other engines), which one was that? <<

renpy seems the best and easiest overall, but rpgmaker-style direct character control would be neat since i'd like exploring the environment to play some role ...

thanks! ^^

p.s. and you know how i've been with my release schedules and delivering on these little projects so don't expect anything to materialize, let alone quickly <<

p.p.s. the comic isn't abandoned, it's just gonna take a while ^^
