Great computer game idea

Interface wise, it's a standard first person shooter in a fantasy setting.
The twist is that you play a dragon. You start as a young dragon, and grow
in power (flying speed, fire breathing, claws, hit points) every time you
eat a virgin. Points, on the other hand, are assigned strictly based upon
the size of your hoard: you win if you can accumulate one million gold
pieces. As you get richer and stronger, more and more powerful heroes
(townspeople, mobs of townspeople, knights, teams of adventurers, etc.)
and thieves come after you. You can also go on missions to take over larger
or better defendable lairs, hunt wizards (which gives you a limited spell
casting ability), and of course, eat virgins. The difficulty levels vary
primarily on how hard it is to find virgins, and range from Chastity City to
Sodom & Gomorrah.

The righteous right will slowly roast you over burning liquid hydrogen if you ever released this.

I suspect that Thomas considers that a feature :-}.

I like the game premise, but I keep wondering: How do you figure out if some particular female is a virgin? Is it just a matter of you eat a female and they have a n% chance of being a virgin, and you modify that percentage to control difficulty? Or are there ways to improve the odds?

As is well known, virgins glow. If you can't see this glow, you probably need to upgrade your video card to be DirectX 8 compatible.

I should have mentioned that you also have the option of playing a female dragon, in which case you need to eat male virgins. If you play a female dragon, you should always be on the lookout for doors marked "Chess Club" ...

Chuckle. Cute. How many character points does it cost to play a bisexual dragon?

Randy, I hate to have to be the one to explain this to you, but eating virgins isn't the same as having sex. (In fact, there will be no sex in this game, so if you are only interested in hot dragon on dragon action, look elsewhere). Your dragon can have whatever sexual preference you want, but it still has to eat virgins of the opposite sex.

Hermaphrodite dragons on the other hand can eat either male or female virgins, but get only half of the normal power boost from each. You unlock the option to play hermaphrodite dragons by eating a bishop.

Definitely. I think there's been some scientific and political debate on the subject out of game.

Dragons are cool.
