i'm making an application for remote partners and solo play that lets owners write a sequence of tasks, share it, and pets play them :3
basically how the app works is it has a dom and sub side. the dom makes a "timeline" which is the series of tasks that'll play in order, you can add a handful of types of "elements" that do different things like a lockbox deposit that makes the user submit something temporarily and you return it to them later in the timeline, or a questionnaire that lets you structure a series of multiple choice/free response questions and punish them depending on their incorrect responses; just a bunch of glorified ways to make subs do tasks/punishments, designed with a lot of customization so it can flex into any kind of game you want to impose on someone :3 pet play was at the forefront of my mind designing a lot of things though it could mold to most d/s dynamics that translate to online remotely well.
the dom exports a huge blob of text that stores the timeline data which is a lot easier to share than a file, and then a sub plugs the text into their version of the app and can play it on the sub side. it's asynchronous for remote partners and is just as doable for solo play as long as a dom shares a blob publicly. while the sub plays it, they create a log of their responses, which they can read back or share with their dom so the dom still gains the satisfaction of people playing with them asynchronously.
as a solo dev i steered clear of using a website or server which is why these are the best solutions i could come up with to still let people play together. i am probably a couple months from beta testing it but i intend to at least open source it afterwards. wanted to share my progress thus far and weigh the demand for it and specifically how this community felt about it ^.^
sorry to the mods if this counts as self promo .. promise this is not accessible atm nor profitable 🥺
