Content Submission Guide

If you would like to contribute content to Night Games I welcome it. Please send any submissions to thesilverbard@gmail.com. Note that I may need to modify any submissions to fit existing or future narrative continuity. Also, unless I approach you for a commission, I probably won’t be able to pay you.


Priority Wishlist

Several people requested I post a list of scenes they can contribute. Here’s a list of scenes I feel would be a priority to include, but haven’t started on. Don’t feel like you need to limit yourself to this list. I’m not going to turn down other scenes. These are simply the ones I came up with. If you start working on a scene and want to reserve it, send me an email and I’ll take it off the list.

  • Alternate text for skills. All skills. Any skill could benefit from more alternate text.
  • Angel/Jewel threesome scene
  • Kat 2nd Sparring scene
  • Jewel draw scene post Ki training
  • Kat night off scene
  • Yui/Jewel threesome scene

A note about terminology: I’m using the same convention for victory vs defeat scenes as the game system uses, which is from the NPC perspective. If I refer to Angel Defeat scene, I mean the scene displayed when Angel is defeated by the player.


General Content Guidelines

The golden rule for content is that no one is coerced to participate in the Night Games. Assume that if someone was really uncomfortable with something that’s happening, they could use a safeword and walk away from it. If you keep that in the back of your mind, you’ll probably be ok.

All participants are students at the college, so underage characters are out.

Do not include any direct quotes by the player character. Or make assumptions or references to the player’s background or appearance until/unless I add that level of player customization.

If you are going to reference a piece of copyright media, don’t mention the title. Don’t make up a fake title.

Please try to keep individual scenes under 2000 words.

Do not create canon for core elements I haven’t mentioned yet, including but not limited to:
Name of the College
Location of the College
Organization of the Games
Backgrounds of existing characters


Image Submissions

The Night Games GUI is built in Java Swing and can easily include images. The only reason there aren’t any illustrations (Update: no longer the case) is because I’m useless at art (except that awesome stick figure clothing diagram. I could illustrate the entire game with those). If you are good at art and want to contribute some images, I’d be extremely grateful. Images could be associated with a specific character, skill, or scene. I’m fairly confident I can figure out the logic to display them under any reasonable conditions. I do have a few rules specific to image submissions:

  • Only send me images you actually own. If I find out someone has found a copywrite image and sent it to me without the artist’s permission, I will not be happy
  • No live photos please. I’ve seen them used in other text based games and many users find it unpleasantly jarring, including me
  • Images need to fit in an 800×260 area. Yes, that’s very short, but I don’t have a lot of screen realestate to devote to images. You do not need to use the entire width. I made some changes to how and where images are displayed. Size is no longer a major concern.

New Character Requirements

A few people have asked me what all needs to be written to add a new character and I sent them the below list, but I should also post it here.

As she matured, she would only sleep with guys who impressed her at sports or martial arts.
She considers the Games and the sex involved to be a natural extension to normal martial arts competitions.

Reyka’s family has substantial wealth and power in the infernal realm, so her living situation in the basement of a church is a downgrade.

MBTI: INFJ
Major: Graphic Design

Kat is a shy and quiet girl. As a freshman, she was a sexually curious virgin, too nervous to seek out a lover. She joined the Games as an opportunity for casual sex.
Due to her inexperience, Kat was fucked silly in her first match. Despite losing badly, the pleasure drew her back every night.

Kat’s animal spirit is dormant when she’s not aroused, but her ears and tail remain visible.
During the day, she wears a hat over her ears and loose pants to her tail. She doesn’t show her animal parts to anyone outside the Games, including her close friends.
Kat and her animal side completely share knowledge and desires, but the animal side is uninhibited.

She has seen enough of her fellow competitors graduate into influential positions to realize the Games are a shortcut to success.
She has never met the Benefactor, but believes he is intentionally placing people in positions of power. She resents the idea that she is being used.
Her hedonism and disinterest towards the game are her way of rebelling against this plan.

Age: 26
MBTI: ENFP
Major: N/A
Eye Color: Purple
Hair: Long, red
Body: Average height, curvy

Major:
Eye Color: Green
Hair: Blonde, long bangs obscure her face

Bust: C

Spoiler

Yui is the inheritor of a long and intense ninjutsu tradition.
As a kunoichi in training, she studied seduction and sexual skills in addition to infiltration and assassination techniques.
Her family has moved with the times in many ways, so she was not allowed to engage in any “hands on” sexual training until she turned 18.
Her strict and time-consuming training gave her little social time, so she hasn’t had a lot of friends. As a result, she’s noticeably socially awkward despite formal speech and body language training.
Despite living in Japan most of her life, she’s been trained to adopt local accents and blend in quickly. Her English shows no trace if it being her second language.

Eye Color: Brown
Hair: Short black
Body: Tall, somewhat muscular

Spoiler

Aesop is a former participant in the Games who decided it would be more profitable to act as an information broker.
He has no formal position in the organization of the Games, but has been given unofficial approval for what he does.
Since he is friends with Maya, she often steers new recruits toward him as a form of mentoring.
He has never met the Benefactor, but is searching for information about him, which would be worth a fortune to the right people.

Spoiler

Maya was a participant in the Games back when the Benefactor would supervise and recruit in person.
She fell in love when him as a participant. When he saved her life, she devoted herself to him, acting as his representative.
Her powers affect her more than most participants. Every full moon, it causes her desires to build out of control. She indulges in the Games once a month to sate her needs.

Her worshipful attitude toward the Benefactor is somewhat unhealthy, and she becomes irrationally angry when people do not respect him.

She takes it upon herself to try to remove troublesome individuals from the games, though it’s not actually what the Benefactor wants.

Eve and Alice have been a thorn in her side for a long time, and she resents that they are allowed to continue undermining the spirit of the Games by devaluing victory.

Her father runs a martial arts dojo and she is his best student. Since his health is failing, she has taken over as instructor.
In addition to her martial arts ability, she is skilled at hypnosis, which she uses for guided meditation.

Body: Short and slim

Veterans of the Games would describe Alice as the weakest sex-fighter in recent memory and the most dangerous.

Alice’s behavior and expressions seem inherently unnatural and she tends to unsettle people.
Opponents defeated by her tend to feel like she’s somehow cheating.
She has little regard for participants in the Games that only care about winning.
She is the only character whose speech is not italicized to denote the hollow nature of her voice.
