Welcome to the Tickling Games Forum

[Animewatcher]

Any of you curious and new to the forum, I'd like to say hello! Your curiosity might be wondering what this is all about - so a brief history lesson:

The Tickling Games forum was created originally on Tickle Theater(TT) after an initial interest and posting of a tickling RPG. Having such a forum allowed artists to separate tickling games from the traditional art pieces. As time went by, more members tried their hands at making their own video games. Some succeeded, others burnt out. By the last days before TT went silent, we had over a dozen tickle related games to enjoy; even more if you count the non-English ones! Stories, gameplay, and a variety of tickle scenes with likable characters flowed from these games. Sadly, at the time of this post, it looks like Tickle Theater is no more. But, thanks to Myriad, the Tickling Games forum now has a home here on the TMF!

I'm sure some might be asking "What's a tickling game? Is it one of those flash games you click on and make the animated character wiggle?"

The answer...yes and no. Those are technically tickling games, sure. What became the heart of the Tickling Games forum, however, was full fledged video games and even a visual novel or two thrown in that involved or revolved around tickling. Perhaps the best part for members was that the games were entirely free and done in the artist's own time. Nice, right? Who doesn't like free?

The Tickling Games forum is also for threads dedicated to the video games themselves; where people can come and ask questions and get help, tips on beating bosses or solving puzzles, finding tickle scenes or objects of desire (and spoiling secrets for everybody, much to some developers annoyance 😛).


So, stay tuned as the forum slowly (hopefully) is filled with the games many of us have been enjoying for years. Maybe we'll even get new game creators out of this and see even more games being developed!


For those of us who knew the tickling games, I would like to make a request. Please allow the original developers time to find and hopefully post their games here. Let us give them a week or two out of respect before we look to posting their work here. I know we're eager to flood this place and make it awesome, but give it a little time first. Note - this is more for the developers who started their games on or frequented our forums. Eastern or translated games are free game 🙂

Does this mean The Laughing Isles will see some updates? 😛

 

[Animewatcher]

Haha, Lurka(a) is that you? 😛

I'm getting my translation thread back up so your game list actually can be utilized 😀

And yes, The Laughing Isles will be getting an update. Development has been slowed down at random intervals though, like going through rush hour traffic, due to real life events. I've never stopped working on it though and I aim to deliver 2.0 (and then 2.5) soon enough. I've been really happy with some of the things I've gotten through in the game that have given me months of trouble figuring out. All the monster girls you can handle, tickle and date; the fun never stops until the game is finished!

(oh SNAP! I CAN DO THIS! WEEEEE! I have RETURNED!)

 

[shadowscurse]

Animeeee! I am a frightened turtle in an unfamiliar place! But you have returned so everything isn't totally bad 😛 Hopefully all of the gamer developers can make the transition over here smoothly.

 

[LurkLurkLurk]

...
yes, The Laughing Isles will be getting an update

"Yes," and "hell yeah!" respectively.

Good to see you back.

Ahhhh my tiny turtle friend! Fear not, we have a similar room to showcase and gather over here. It's so good to see you here 😀

Yes, I too hope we can gather all the lost game devs from TT. It's a whole new audience over here (somewhat), after all.

"Yes," and "hell yeah!" respectively.

Good to see you back.

Ha! You'll never escape my detective skills! Good to see you too, bud!

Good to be back. I do wish my return had been back in the Theater though lol. I come back only for TT to be gone! Boy did I pick the wrong time, eh? How were things in the game forum before I left? Were people still checking out ze gamez?

 

[LurkLurkLurk]

Yeah, I'm sad to see TT's condition too. Maybe it'll come back. It did last time.

Let's see, news from the last few months...

What the hell, I'll update you on some of the non-TT fringes, too.

• Deus came back and began working on a prequel to ToG, called Wrath of Lustaeus. Some stuff released. Paused but not forgotten. As with your game, though, I can't find the OP in Google's cache.
• Screamer's blog is now also being syndicated on Facebook, because clearly people need to broadcast their tickling interests to friends and family. Ni no Kusu is still slowly getting updates.
• Some of the tickling games people seem to post on feetschan's tickling board.
• 4chan's tickling threads grow sparse. Puerile flame wars missed by no one.
• TickleWizard's game still on hiatus.
• GardenerJames's game (Tickle Porn; The Making Of?) is being expanded, but he's currently waiting on art from tamyra.
• TickleWizard's game probably still on pause due to technical issues or RL stuff.

Can't think of anything else right now.

Do you think it's worth asking Myriads to make Tickling Games a subforum under Media, instead of a sub-subforum under Art?

 

[Animewatcher]

It might come back, but the length at which it has been down is making me uncomfortable.

I got a chance to grab an incomplete demo of his game. I kind of liked it, though I felt a lot had been lost since ToG and didn't get as much satisfaction out of the scenes. I blame Deus for being rusty on that one, but I wonder if he is going to continue it with TT down?

LOL! I saw Screamer's getting turned into a short comic. Based on ex-hentai, I'm guessing it was dropped? Glad to know Ni no Kusu is still getting some work on it too.

That's where I found Gardener James' tickling game the first time. It's a good, little board and I like how at ease the atmosphere seems to be compared to how 4chan's tickle threads were. It just became nothing but arguments, bashing, and trolling. :\

Yes, I've seen GJ's updates. Erm- his somewhat updates. I wonder if TW will be coming over here or not? I know he was on Feetschan before and posting his game. The bad thing about these tickle games is just how real life can cause hiatuses or slow down production.

Also, I don't see how it could hurt to ask Myriads to make TG its own forum under Media. It would bring more attention to it, for sure. I know TT folk tended to wander in, amazed that we had a tickling games forum all this time that they never knew about. I think most people skim over the subforums and go to the main course (in Art's case, all the postings below). I'm going to give it another week before I think we should start refilling the forum with English versions of the games. I also think we should look to make threads dedicated to certain tickle games - like a Don't Tickle Me Discussion thread, where people can easily ask questions and find answers to progress through the game. I know people kept talking in my thread about what secrets they were missing 😀

If we have any way of contacting Screamer, I think we can bring his attention to this forum too.

 

[Orichalcum]

I'm really glad to know that the section I love is "back".
Nice to meet you all here guys. Can't wait to play another interesting game 🙂

 

[mxx15]

If we have any way of contacting Screamer, I think we can bring his attention to this forum too.

He has a blog and a FB page about the game. I think we could contact him there.

 

[stork]

Feels like it's been a while since I actually posted on the ol' TT. Still a shame to see it go...

Well, at least a few people are regrouping.

(oh SNAP! I CAN DO THIS! WEEEEE! I have RETURNED!)

As has your prowess with reaction images. (dat fluid animation though)

Ahhh! Stork! It's good to see another familiar face! Slowly, people are gathering here. Fingers crossed we can see everyone once again and repopulate the community 🙂

And nyes~ I am quite glad that I can still post reaction images. I'll miss my Avatar of the Month, but the reaction images are what you people came to see lol.

 

[Rainax]

Just a bump to say I'm here too. 🙂

Also, I've noticed that we have several "big" tickling game threads outside of this section, since they predate it. I could find with a quick search Tower of Gargalesis and Welcome to Lustaeus, maybe there are more.

It might be useful to move them here, where they would contribute to this section and avoid being submerged by other threads.

 

[TicklerKoops]

So what are the statuses of the games we used to follow in TT? Like Laughing Isles, Laughing House, and anything Screamer pulls out? The first two I was following pretty heavy. Miss those gems!

 

[Wolfiex247]

Oh this is where some of the people from TT are gathering that's cool. I am also happy to hear that Laughing Isles is still being worked on.

Ooo that might not be a bad idea. After all, having the game threads easily accessible here in this new forum is loads better than the ever moving Artwork main forum. Here, they'll also have a purpose (gamers easily being able to ask and find the answers to their ingame questions to unlock/see all tickle scenes).

While I can't speak for Screamer's or TickleWizard's creations, The Laughing Isles is making its way to version 2.0. I'm looking to release another pre-version in the next few weeks. It'll have a few extra things in it, so those returning will have something to do while those new to the game get to experience everything and more from previous versions (minus all the bugs; god bless the players and their help).

It won't be continuing the story just yet, but at least there will be more things to do for those that so desire.

 

[firegod86]

I've spoken to wizard and screamer. Both are still working. Just slow going. Especially for wizard. But they will appear at some point.

 

[Animewatcher]

Ahh good, good. So we can expect to have more English games added into here 🙂

Slowly but surely, we'll rebuild.

 

[LPF9]

any news on Lustaeus?

 

[TickleWiazard]

Hey! I'm not that slow.... 🙁

I did get out another, short little christmas special game which was part of why LH had a bit of a hiatus. The Hiatus will be lifted though, as soon as my chest stops trying to kill me! Kinda hard to write about tickling things when you're randomly assaulted by crippling coughing fits :,(

 

[Cryptic7]

Hoorayy. The survivors of the apocalypse are regrouping. Imma just poke my head in for role call here. Donger managed to find Screamer and I adrift in the ocean after the horrible crash and brought us here. So I can say for sure that he's back as well.
