AAA Adult Game

Do you actually think it's possible for an AAA adult game to profit in these modern times? What do you think it would take to make it successful?

Would it be online focused with a emphasis on social features and character creation? Or maybe a interactive move like Heavy Rain but with many adult scenes and routes to take? Of course we're assuming this can somehow become profitable without being sold in most stores and not being allowed on consoles since the higher ups won't allow them on there. Also no /d/ shit because that would offend your average fapper.

...

You need to define AAA. Most of Illusion's games are as buggy and unfun as so called AAA games.

Don't associate her with your shitty thread.

Jesus Christ. "AAA adult games"? Fuck off.

I asked myself "Would it even be worth playing if it was aimed at the masses?". It would most likely be a no. Saying that, the best tactic could be hitting every well known kink and fetish on the board instead of going full normalfag. Degenerates are always willing to shell out money as long as something of even decent quality appeals to them. And the world is full of degenerates.


Simply a AAA budget. So you can have all those seiyuus everyone loves. Crisp animations. And great textures. I realize AAA doesn't mean "best quality" but we're assuming money buys talent here so it will have great animators, designers, a good QA team, and voice actors.

I spread my lube oil all over her turbines every week and so have many other admirals. You can have your shipslut back once I'm done with her. Here's a sample.

Speaking of which. NTR is a no go. That would repel most consumers.

Too many people pirate pr0n games for one to make a profit I think. There's such a strong culture of pirating porn in general. Even more so than games or music.

Porn "games" aren't games, get over it

Most people have a social aversion to paying for sexual gratification in any form, the only way to make money in this market is by banking on a some whales, and most whales for some reason have disgusting fetishes, I'm actually slightly worried looking at the seemingly unlimited amount of money furfags can throw at the shittiest things.


Is it really avatarfagging if it's not the same character ?

It's hard to tell they aren't the same character, they look like generic moeshit

What are your thoughts about Sengoku Rance?

It's barely a game and the art is shit

If you consider how much high-end VNs rake in, it's definitely possible, but reaching the right audiences would be difficult, in other words, there's too much risk involved for anyone to seriously try.
Making some generic shit for normalfags is something that has been attempted and it's never been a notable success, there are some sex MMOs and whatnot and yet the latest "big" western porn game is still SexVilla. Normalfags are not the ones who will download your many-gigabyte client and keep returning to it to fap.
Furfags and fetishists have a lot of money to blow, but there are only so many of them, they can and do fund some games, but it's not AAA-levels. Even if it was AAA-levels of money, furfags also have fantastically bad money management, so the game would inevitably turn out not-AAA.
Lastly, the only actual choice, are weeb games, but to get the budget for making one, making it in the west, and trying to sell it back to Japan, would all be rather difficult. Your revenue would have to come from Japan first and foremost, since they're the only large audience in the world willing to pay large sums of money for their porn. You'd have to make it really damn good to make them give a shit.

Still, I've never paid for porn, but I'd buy a further refined Custom Maid 3D-like game. CM3D2 was really well made in many aspects, and I've played it a lot more than I thought I would, but there's still a lot of room for improvement.

that may be, but VNs aren't games :^)

...

Sorry but what is your definition of game?

It's more of a game than most Grand Strategy titles on the market.

hilarious

That may be true for many of them, but it's an overlapping market. People want interesting anime girls that you get to fuck, whether you deliver that in 2D art or 3D art doesn't really matter

Of course it's a game you homo, you have actual goals and several gameplay mechanisms

It'll never happen.

Retailers won't dare to sell AO games and on top of it, its CURRENT YEAR. CURRENT YEAR demands that the characters look ugly as possible so that the 3DPD porn industry and bitches won't need a competitor

Illusion isn't AAA studio though. They hardly can be considered AA studio even. AAA porn games don't exist and probably never will.


People might buy Japanese games though, just like people are buying VNs or any other kind of shit. The real issue is that it's a pain in the ass for westerners to buy Japanese games, even digitally on DLsite and usually these games cost a lot thanks to physical releases and digital stores fees.

If, say, Illusion released their games in the West digitally on some kind of Steam platform where you can buy games in few clicks, it would bring them very good profit, plus they already have established modding community for every their game. They don't even need to waste their money on marketing in the West, news about western releases of their games would spread like plague everywhere, Mark would stick a thread about it too.

They barely fucking survive. Key got lucky once or twice with not porn, and that's it.

I take that back as I haven't really payed any attention to the western market and forgot that boomed.

How much money exactly do high end visual make? I never expected VNs to rake in a ton of money.


Shitposting is lost art.


And yet things have blown up so much that people are now figuring out that the term "redpill" even exists. And the more the CURRENT YEAR faggots push their show, the more fed up people will get. You can't get rid of the urge for lewd in humanity.


When something is easier to purchase than it is to pirate. You'll see many more sales than people seeding/leeching a pirated copy. That's why Steam worked so well at first. But the problem would be getting the game up their in the first place.

In the $1-$10 million range; hard to say exactly how much without knowing moon. Muv-Luv's kikestarter for the secondary english audience still got over $1 million, Grisaia $500k. Grisaia's first week sales for the first installment in Japan were around $200k, the sequel $300k.

...

Add loli to it, it'll sell like hotcakes.

...

Sex does sell so I do not see why not.

It's like nobody has learned anything from Oblivion and Skyrim. Nobody will ever get a budget to make a game big enough to meet the needs of so many fetishes so just let the community do it. In the end we'll all be happy through dick unity.

I love big breasted lolis.

Just try and kill me.

This is actually pretty catchy

/d/ shit is awful and youre awful

Will never happen. AAA would cost too much for too little return. They'd also probably slap DRM on it as well, because as it is porn, piracy will be in full effect.

Shit fetish, possibly even worse than furfaggotry.

That shit's only reserved for your waifu and real life

Yeah no, oppai loli is the best

good porn sells good. prob is that just like everywhere else, AAA tends to just copy the current fads and provides a diluted and shallow but polished product. it may have good art assets but the gameplay, writing and characters will always remain conservative af because AAA is scared of trying new things. thus, the product will be forgettable and not worth anything more than pirating. they will then proceed to blame their audience for the failure and put their focus into mobile games because creativity and originality isn't necessary for those.

Profit monetarily, sure.

Quality doujin. C90 is only 4 days away and almost all of my favorite artists are coming out with something new.


Country laws and social stigmas can get in the way of that though. Like how Kodomo no Jikan was banned from Amazon due to complaints from some obnoxious faggot.


What's funny is bestiality is still banned from /d/. But monsters fucking girls is A-okay. For some reason, loli is only allowed on Holla Forums. Too bad our porn boards are shit when it comes to size. /e/ is still the best lewd board and always will be.


Both are good.


Really depends on the company and how much the game was rushed.

Even when Tomb Raider was being advertised as "That game where the girl might get raped", they will never touch a subject that actually makes people uncomfortable. It's easier getting revenge for a character who dies than it is seeing the significant other beat into something unrecognizable. They're still alive, crying in pain, and might as well not even be the same person. You don't have to deal with that when a significant other just dies in the story.

64 different genders
89 varying identities
139 possible orientations

Consent must be gained for every interaction in the game, failure to acquire consent results in your character being labelled a rapist

Additionally, flirting with a woman constitutes rape

Playing as a straight, white male causes all minorities to regard you as a racist, sexist misogynist

Males caught looking at a female without their consent is considered a hate crime

No sex or nudity is actually shown to avoid offending or giving sexual assault survivors flashbacks

All interactions and subsequent relationship increments are randomised so as not to promote the toxic idea that women can be bought, "gamed" or otherwise coerced into sexual situations

If playing as a woman all player input will be ignored as a woman should always have control of her own body

Dialogue carefully censo– vetted by professional feminists to ensure language is always inclusive

Drug use, including alcohol, is never depicted so as to limit morally egregious actions from the player

Emergency 'trigger key' feature that will close the game and games of all other players when problematic content is discovered to allow developer time to address the issue before letting anyone else play to ensure nobody else will be triggered


1/10 - Polygon
"Not enough choice of identity; we need more feminist game devs"

2/10 - Kotaku
"The message this game sends is too political and poorly timed"

0/5 - The Mary Sue
"Already called the cops, please donate to my patreon"

Weaboo scum don't qualify as adults.
Games about sausage in bun can be mods. Devs can sell them from their website.

Shops will try to sell whatever they can make money off. Would sell kids if they could. Govts are the same bc tax. Already do. People are like property because of money. Education. At least it's getting rid of that saying it could be worse, because that kind of attitude is how it gets worse.

Good things are adult things.
Animu isn't good in any sense.

So will it involve the Neps?

Kill yourself already, you retarded faggot.

Anime is nothing more than Japan's cartoons with a variety of different genres that has retained enough quality while the last good western cartoons were Chowder and Flapjack. Shut the fuck up.

Yeah, your opinion means nothing.

And you're a filthy DFCfaggot hipster as well. Literally just die.

Witcher 3 seems to be a damn good step towards having sex naturally apart of a game and its setting.

Without fail. And people still reply to these people. But it would be so bad if janitors would do their job. And since they don't, people don't even bother reporting.


It's not anime enough. Once it hits that anime threshold, it's suddenly distasteful.

No a AAA game is a game with a huge budget behind it, no way will it be able to make it's money back with such a small platform to sell it on. A AAA developer might be able to make a small budget porn game and be successful but there's no way a big budget AAA porn game would ever make it's money back in the current climate.
For a AAA porn game to be successful you'd need to at least be able to sell it on one of the big three platforms Steam/PS4/Xbox. Ain't no way in hell Sony/Microsoft are gonna allow that to happen though so you're only left with steam, which might allow porn stuff in the future.

An AAA adult game would get not only banned, but everyone credited with developing the game would get assassinated. Japan could produce such a game but either it wouldn't gather much immediate interest besides having an AAA budget since while it could be an adult game, a game meant to be fapped to wouldn't ever get greenlit or significant long term sales.

A western AAA game would be nothing more than an unironic leftist degeneracy simulator.
>Fat bisexual forces you upon the goal of trying to acquire a harem of men, while also reaching the magic ton. When you complete both objectives, you enter Fat Bisexual PVP, whereupon you must enter several arenas where you must attract as many white knights as possible, either through seduction with your CURVY, VOLUPTUOUS, HEALTHY body, or katamari rolling men before the other players can steal them. There are no actual women you can fuck, because all women who claim to be bisexual are just heterosexual chicks with attention defficiencies.

Denial is one of the stages of loving DFC.

I'd actually like to believe this could happen but it's gonna take a very bold person to even attempt this.

Currently, being AAA means you gotta worry about PR and Marketing as much as the product you make and how you sell it.
Any company trying to sell a porn game with a AAA budget would be risking a lot of money for potential profit in a mostly unknown and untested market. And at the cost of their reputation, something that's certain beyond doubt. Selling other games, even non-porn ones in other platforms or shops would be considerably harder for them.

It would take someone that literally doesn't care about money to try and break into that market. Or someone capable of making a digital distribution capable of rivaling Steam but for porn games.

I actually think there's such a platform already, started recently, but I forgot it's name and it's currently selling iOS-tier games and visual novels, sadly.

Bump

fuck off
