Is it impossible for a game to be both pornographic and genuinely good?

I've noticed recently that every game that I either mod to contain adult content or that contains adult content right off the bat, I stop playing very soon.

It seems to me that for some reason games stop being primarily games once you add fappable content. As someone who's currently working on a game that I intended to have full, sexy nudity in - this concerns me. Am I hurting my own game by prompting players to jerk off to the content within? Am I making my game's perception inherently more shallow simply by including adult content? Note that I'm not looking at the political/social implications, I'm simply trying to understand expected user behavior. Is it a satiation response?

Please do post your own experiences, because I'm just the one weirdo that acts like that, I shouldn't be worried and I can just go ahead and do what I want to do.

Kamidori Alchemy Master. You play for the promise of anime titties and when they finally show up it's a pleasant sidebar from the game, which by then has you hooked. It's a solid game without the tits and solid tits without the game, combined it's a good game with good tits.

Huniepop was a lot of fun in both the dating sim and Bejeweled aspects, IMO.

Don't shoot the goo too early. Just edge the experience.

I think I'm talking more games that you can sink 100-600 hours on a single playthrough, that are also reliant on atmosphere and story a lot. Arcade games and etc. I don't think would be hurt all that much.

But once I do, I lose all interest nevertheless.

Back in the day you had to work for your lewds. Those nigh impossible porn flash games were a midnight's fapping on the family computer without waking the parents well spent.
wew

If I have to jerk off I can only play the game with one hand. Even if it becomes a hands free cutscene, I still have to wash my hands afterwards because I don't have pissbottles scattered in my computer desk setup, and I will not get my peripherals covered in my own jizz.

It's a basic practical issue is what it cums down to. Unless your game incorporates a discreet wireless onahole peripheral that starts sucking me off during a cutscene or something.

No and don't let horny faggots who enjoyed Rance tell you otherwise.

Euphoria

Well, those kinds of games tend to have no focus.
Eroge JRPGs/RPG Maker games and things of that nature, as well as other legitimate games like Sengoku Rance do have such powerful gameplay elements that the porn doesn't detract from it
Basically there has to be *something* to your game that gives it a reason to keep going forward, besides cute girls.
A well-written story, compelling characters, gameplay that makes sense and doesn't feel like shit and is challenging, and so on
Plus all those games you can "mod" lewd shit in tend to be open world games which tend ot be shit in terms of focus
You can jack off, come back and nothing will have changed in most of those piles of shit
If you're making a lewd open world game, be sure to make the world VERY compact and full of interesting shit
Basically don't be a retard

This too; having a good challenge and a strong level of depth to your game will attract the best audience for your game. Just be sure to focus on both parts equally (the quality of the porn) and the writing, gameplay and world of the game.
Also use basic concepts of "explore or do xyz and you get something as a reward"
It can be items and shit to use in-game for the most part, and then a few sprinklings of porn where its appropriate
Don't use a glut of porn either, and try to avoid putting porn straight at the beginning of the game. I'd say make the player go through at least an hour or two or more before actually letting them start to have access to the porn

The closest you're going to get is Rance, user.
Barring that theres no real options other than extensively modded Bethesda games like Skyrim

OP said games not scat porn

The biggest problem I've found in modern porn games is that if the player loses their character gets raped and defeating the enemy doesn't give porn. Lewds should be a reward for skill, not a reward for failure.

Milia Wars DX is a good if simple action platformer although it isn't very hot unless you're into monster vore.

Problem is there's no porn games with a budget that can afford the devs more than a chinese takeout dinner.
I want a game that let's me play as a Barbarin that rapes and pillages. Go from well thought out 3D melee combat to raping the fair maidens of the village until they're too loose for even the horses.
But since we live in a shit world that thinks that sex has no place in media for some fucking reason(despite sex being something that quite literally everyone does, talks about or at least thinks about) it'll never happen. The worst part is that all we can do is be jealous of the timeline where prudes didn't control what media we can create.

Came for the porn, but it legit became one of my favorite platformers. Amazing music and pretty challenging.

Only thing I don't really care for is that the castle section feels very out of place in an otherwise post-apocalyptic scenario… but whatever, the music in that place is amazing anyway.

I regularly play H-Games, fap, then proceed to beat them for fun. Maybe you are just a casul.


wew

Eh, it depends on the fetish or theme
If rape requires loss it makes more sense in that context, which is why I suggest making getting to those points difficult, as well as the fights that give lewds to be difficult as well, not necessarily designed for players to lose maybe but…
Yeah, it wouldn't make much sense to win and be raped. Porn for both scenarios or situations would be nice but there would have to be a fuckload of porn as well, which might end up creating that problem
I suppose it comes down to what kind of game OP would want, though I do feel that "lewds as a reward for dying/losing" can be done correctly and still feel challenging and rewarding. One game I'm thinking of accomplished that fantastically, and that game was absurdly challenging.
It also had a fuckton of porn, with around 200 high-quality CGs
**It was also an RPG Maker fetish game that I put around 50 hours in, not counting the deaths which would probably make it 60-80)

I'm working on an FPS cyberpunk game set in a world run by a benevolent "Mother AI" whose idea of "good" for people is hedonistic, resulting in a society oversaturated with violence, sex and cheap pleasures.

Here are examples of things I'm concerned about:


My concern is basically that a player would be aroused enough to stop playing and jerk off - therefore preventing him from playing further because he's had enough stimulation for now. The porn is definitely not the center of focus - my intention is to have FEAR-like gameplay that devolves into an E.Y.E. type mindfuck - but considering that the central theme is hedonism, moral decay and oversaturation of pleasure, I cannot achieve the atmosphere I'm aiming for if I indulge in censorship.

So that's that. I'm concerned that the game won't be taken seriously because of hyperviolence and sex.

A good eroge can make players fap more than their dick actually wants to.

You have to understand that motivation in general is linked to libido. Even if the game itself is fun the player is gonna be less inclined to continue playing after climaxing. That's why rewards shouldn't be too closely spaced and you should let the player set the pace for collecting them, ideally spread out as long as the length of a game session. If you just unlock everything to go back to viewing it in a gallery it might as well not be in a game.
The real challenge is making a tension curve though. It's hard to figure out a way to distribute content in the right manner without railroading the player. You want to start with subtle teasing instead of outright bombarding the player with lewd overdose. The problem in the tension curve of H-games is especially the lack of afterplay. It's hard to make the player invested after climaxing, since that would require to touch him emotionally instead of leaving him sober from his lust without nothing else left.

go for it, absolutely
puttiing sex absolutely everywhere but trying to make people take it seriously would earn it fame, yoou don't hear about things like that too often

what kind of budget are you acting with

I don't think that a game having pornographic material makes it like a bad game or a game that you can't enjoy. I think maybe the games that you mod to have erotic material or a game with erotic material already are games that you have either played a lot already or games that you aren't interested in the first place aside from the eroticism. I think this problem also affects porn games where all the focus was put into making the game sexy so after you've satisfied your desires the game has no more interest to the player.

I guess you just have to ask yourself, are you adding nudity to the game to compensate for other aspects that are deficient? If no, then I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure that your game will be enjoyed by the players.

I've already posted here but I second leaving the flat-out pornography until the player's some ways into the game. Maybe wait until they travel to some kind of Sodom until you start rolling that content

Hmm… now that's interesting
You'd have to find a way to keep things fresh, make sure she progresses along the game with you like a partner rather than just repeating a string of lines that are static throughout the whole game
Don't worry though user, your game definitely sounds strong enough as an actual game to stand out on its own, just be smart, follow your instincts, and don't be so fucking afraid. It will be taken seriously by the right people. There will always be some who just come for the fap, but the majority of people who play your game will enjoy it for what it is, and a good chunk of people will create discussion, content and fanart for it eventually
Just stop worrying so damn much.

Zero fucking dollars. I'm just working on the game with whatever I can do myself until I can make it look good enough to attract other people to work on it with me with the intention of eventual revshare.

I was thinking more along the lines of snuff brothels that get around the obvious logistics issues by using /clang/ girls. The setting allows for a lot of cool stuff like that.


Of course not, I'm adding it because it would make the game distinct and give it a unique atmosphere. A lot of cyberpunk dystopian settings pull their punches. This would really drive home the idea of "wow this society is fucked" without being depressing.

Well, also I've got an excruciating fetish for neon.


I was going for a "less is more" approach. I don't want her to talk to you - she's not a sidekick. She was manufactured as a toy to sexualize violence - her sentience is a feature to please the user. She's got nothing useful to say - all she knows is that you killing people feels really good.


I'm afraid that my concept in reality is much less cool than it seems to me. Lots of games fail because of fundamental issues with their design decisions - so when I think "wow, there's really not a game like that out there" the only thing I can think about is that there's a fucking reason why not.

Theme hospital but with porn. Cant recall its name. Free cities is also good.

Any game that is already good, but with nude mods. Favorite example is MGSV.

You see, when I do that sorta thing all I end up doing is jerking off to whatever I modded to be nude and then I lose interest.

In your case, unless there is a lot more "incidental" porn than I realized, your game might actually need more straight up porn. It sounds like a fully fledged game that just happens to take place in a fucked up setting where there's some circumstantial titties and ass in the settings
I was more thinking of skimpily-clad bosses and actual lewd shenanigans taking place in the game or using the game's mechanics. So how exactly would you convey an AI's sexual stimulation without a voice?

Either that, or you made this thread for no reason as it seems like it barely has any actual porn in it, unless there's more to the setting than you're letting on
A few neon signs with titties and ass might be something you'd find in a GTA game, which nobody considers even remotely close to a porn game

Then just don't jack off and enjoy some background tits.

and in that game you can get lapdances and other actual, sexual shit*
Sorry for multiposting

Ok. But why does it want to do that. Does the player have a compelling reason to find or fight or fuck this AI? Slightly joking. Seriously though do you have a basic story outline on why or how this world works. It doesn't have to be a novel but a "why" or what motivates this AI to do what it does might be nice. You don't need to say it here I'm asking if you have it in your framework of a game.

Give me some explicit explanation bawss. What is your idea of depraved for this setting. Is it A2M, internal camera shots of semen in various orifices, oral bracebits ballgags speculums what? And how would you portray it in game without getting an AO kiss of sales death? Would you portray it as fast jump cuts of silhouettes like those vegas or paris high class titty shows? Stylized slowmo then speed up shot of jizz hitting a wall (that is actually just condensed milk) Wombshots that looks more like bodyhorror?

Awyisss keep talking.
Wait what? Shouldn't the slutgun be more turned on the more dakka and crits you coax out of her? I thought the theme here is hedonism, oversaturation of sax and violins galore. Shouldn't she want to be driven to overkill, not some bean counting about ammo.
Does it have eurobeats and lots of untz? Sounds like it needs some untz to go with that neon titties and asses.
How about trying to make the censorship work for you. Show hints or stylize it to a degree that the players have to fill in the explicit bits. And the players imagination can be far filthier than what is actually shown if you stoke them right.

I'd say its much more constant than circumstantial. It's as much a part of the world as fast food chains and cafes are a part of the world we live in now. Sex is so standardized, disposable and widespread that there are entire professions revolving around the science of arousing the customers with advertisements, much like the advertisements of today try and get you hungry, jealous of luxury, etc.

This means that you'll probably see about as much sex as in any eroge. It's just not the main course, and it's not the focus. It's a given aspect of the game world.


I'm a pretty average cunt so I expect myself to be a good representation of an average player, who acts on his first urge. I can't just tell players not to jerk off. The first thing that a player wants to do, he'll do.


The idea I have now is that at some point, a group of people came to a consensus that the only truly peaceful world in the age of moral decay and corruption (i.e. the period between right now and 30-40 years from now) is to invent an entity who will selflessly govern the world, and truly consider humanity's best interest to be its' main goal. Insert some bullshit about how it takes over or whatever, it's not really the important bit. The AI loves humanity with all its' being akin to motherly love, and it attempts to make sure that the humanity is at its' peak happiness at all times. That's all the motivation it has. It's a self-sustaining, benevolent entity that ensures humanity's happiness and survival, by essentially acting as a singular, united government.


damage dealt divided by ammo used is what I have written down right now. Headshots, environmental kills etc. are all a part of the damage dealt bit.


video related is the primary inspiration for the music I'd like to use.


I can't make a society thoroughly depraved and fucked that is also PG-13, user

No need to pussy out with PG13, if possible go for R or NC-17 ESRB rough equivalent. It's the AO rating that you want to avoid for practical reasons at our current era. Unless your game will be the first to break that AO rating bullshit and not get crushed in the process. But editing it at that stage is likely something later down the line.
Aight, I can see, ehr hear it fit for the visual settings of cyberpunk ultra decadence and decay.
Sounds like a bit of the brave new orgy porgy mixed with some Asimov. It can work if you get the atmosphere right.
Almost sounds like a helicopter parent AI type that spoils humans to death.

Hell yeah, We need more vidya with Gesaffelstein. How prominent will gasmasks be in this society? Will we see sexy strippers dancing with them on while grinding fuckbots? How advanced and/or backwards is cybernetics? Can you have nude girls running around shooting guns, safe from bullets because their bones are metal and muscles are hardened carbon tubes flexing with the density of steel and shit? You shooting with gunpowder based firearms, or tossing some magnetically driven rods or metal or focusing lasers to kill?

You got me very interested boyo.

I came here to say Sengoku Rance
But I'm pretty sure it would of already been said many times

Do what Tobihime does and find a way to reward players gameplay-wise for seeing H-content while also tickling their inner hardmode autism.

I thought Rance was alright. I heard good things about Kamidori but it's not really my cup of tea. Oh and yeah, you're gonna lose motivation playing a game after fapping. You're riding an endorphin high, you don't need anything else at that point.

There are some nuances. It cares about maximizing happiness, not minimizing suffering. This means that arenas where brutal violence takes place exist, and are commonplace.


Yep, that's pretty much 100% assured. I can't avoid AO with the current high concept.

I really like dehumanizing accessories. I think they're kugelblitz-tier hotness, but I also like for lore to be grounded in reality of the universe. Gasmasks are very uncomfortable and I doubt anybody would wear them on a daily basis. It's just too inconvenient.


That's very specific. It's also really hot. I can't confirm nor deny but it sounds perfectly consistent with the rest of what I have in mind. Strippers dress to entertain, so them wearing something like that is 100% plausible.


The mother AI has nearly unlimited capabilities in that regard. I've not yet decided how much of it is available to the public, though. I like cybernetics but I also think that having too much of them is grotesque. A lot of what makes violence and shock value meaningful is juxtaposition of the victim's innocence and what's being done to them. By dehumanizing the victims, you're taking the oomph out of the violence.


I'm sorry, but that's too whimsical. I prefer John Wick or F.E.A.R. styled methodical slaughter, not absurdly overpowered androids.


Lasers are gay unless they're overpowered cutting machines a-la Extraction Point. Railguns are pretty cool. I'm personally a very big fan of standard gunpowder-based firearms.

I guess, ultimately I believe that less is more. How much are you really adding to the game by introducing railguns that are way stronger than normal guns? Nothing, really. All you've done is insinuate that gunpowder-based guns are shit tier, and put railguns onto the same power rating where firearms previously were.

Kurovadis porn was shit. Did you at least get a gallery if you beat it on harder difficulties? I only ever finished on normal before I stopped.

okay sauce

just a random tumblr search. Its good for porn

Apart from the horny gun, what kind of interaction does the player have with the sexy stuff in the setting?

Very surface level. It's not a porn game, not really. I think there's little value in interactions in games that are little more than glorified cutscenes.

Yes, but good luck finding any good western examples. Puritans and their marxist new installment believe sex is something you get sullied by.

In other words, they seek to pozz your mind. Instead of playing out love for a woman to the ultimate reproductive ends.

So how does the gameplay connect to the setting? Why are we having shootouts in this world?

...

No idea yet. That'll come later when I figure out what story is needed to make the game shine the brightest.

Holy shit that's exactly what I was thinking. It completely takes you out of the context of the medium and diverts your attention.

Jesus Christ, I don't think I'll ever have an original thought in my life.

Have you played Bayonetta?

Bayonetta is not pornographic.

...

I think MGQ was the first game I played where the story was the main thing driving me forward. The hentai was obviously the reason I came(pun intended you alliteration hating fucks), but it quickly lost it's luster when the story would take over. Come for the catgirl tiddies, stay for the sociopolitical discussions of how monstergirls that subsist on semen would work in the real world at around the medieval era. I can't recommend this game enough.

Pretty much this.

Rance, obviously.

Visual novels are hardly heavy on the gameplay. They're below strict point and click adventure games and above choose your own adventure picture books.
Ideally a properly lewd game would tie together gameplay and adult material, like those wrestling games where you have to strip your opponent instead of submission moves.

Kim a CUTE!

Does it really change that much if some of the hair was slightly moved out of the way to uncensor?

Yes. It is by definition is not pornographic. My question was about pornography.

Good thing games aren't films and if porn destroys the rest of the narrative, it doesn't matter anyway because they're games. Excellent high budget porn games very rarely get made, and pretty much do not get made at all outside of Japan, because it's extremely taboo to market such a thing especially in the west, the average porn consumer is not interested in games, and people are ashamed to pay for such content.

I will forever shill Sengoku Rance.

Daiteikoku translation NEVER EVER

Nightmare Sphere. It's a pretty solid Metroidvania and when you turn the difficulty up to high, boss fights get really fun

No.

However, being pornographic makes it a far harder sell, so why do it?

Truly a simpler time

nigger i haven't found a game since morrowind that i can sink that much time into, much less one with decent porno content

Good goy

I don't think any of us will, user. It's kinda weird to realize just how derivative we are in the long run.

MFWAAAAAAAAHW LES AMERICAINS

I haven't found anything that wasn't just shitty obscure weeb shit RPG's or god awful clunky shit like House Party or Second Life.

The best thing that is possible as far as I'm aware is Skyrim loaded with a million mods to make the game tolerable, then a million more mods to make it sexual while still immersive, which by that point you'll be lucky if you can go an hour without your game completely breaking because of how fucking terrible that game engine is.

God games are so terrible now. I just want to be able to do something other than sit around playing shitty WoW private servers.

Hate to be that guy, but. Name of the game?

I know it has been posted a gorillion times already. Didn't bother to check it out before.

2bad5u then , you get your just deserts

if you mean immersive in the original context, you're kidding yourself

Hentai games like that just never clicked with me, I don't know why.

Momosu quest was agood game m8

What?

I just mean immersive as isn't random spells you sling at people to start making them all fuck each other in the middle of the street.

...

Parasite in City
by pixel factory

you are welcome

I think you mean

That's why I can't stand 90% of VNs because most of them are pornographic and it really detracts from the story unless actually fitting to the story instead of arbitrarily thrown in, like most of it is, and the idea that I know people are playing the games just to jerk off also dissuades me from playing most of them. That's why I just stick to the old SFC and PSX classics, which are mostly horror based.

is there any VN with sex scenes which does the job better than a few porn images?

No, and only loser weeaboos and otakus who are so socially outcast that they need an anime girl to tell them she loves them so they don't feel like atrophied pieces of shit so they can cum will tell you otherwise.

yes

sounds like some hardcore projection there, friend. might get some professional help for your problems.

If it is enjoyed by heterosexual men, that is.

fallacy fallacy

Yes.

You deserve your fate.

What fate would that be, my dear autist.

You sound like a faggot

Yes.

I think we should start coming up with a list of factors that would be beneficial to a pornographic game, so that we can better imagine how to make one.

Self explanatory. Plenty of older games can be played with only two or three main buttons, plus a d-pad/joystick, like anything on NES or Genesis. Think of this when designing the controls.
Score attack style games would be perfect for this. People always think RPGs or some open world thing, but let's be honest, the most popular porn is quick hardcore action. Plenty of popular games also work like this. By their nature, they also have different ranks and rewards, and it's obvious why this would be important in a porn game.
Everything I've said above does not mean you shouldn't have a story, but, like usual in both games and porn, it's best to present it during the action, and not in some tacked on exposition scene. Cutscenes may be used, but be careful. Do you want the player to climax during these scenes? They may well stop playing then. Or perhaps that is the point, and they are the reward. Of course back in the day that's what cutscenes were, a reward for winning. Maybe you design your game to purposely give the player opportunity for a quick wank, with the length of a level being designed for the length of a quick session (of course they could play multiple levels if they want) and the cutscene is designed to happen right at the climax so they can enjoy it. Then they can come back to the game later next time they're frisky.
Of course with the above, we don't want a situation where you get loading screens right when you're about to climax. Minimizing loading screens is super important. Sure you can have porn play during them but then that really defeats the point, doesn't it?
I've noticed that a lot of the things I've seen here, at least out of the ones that are action games, the graphics are typically low res pixel stuff, where the camera is zoomed out to facilitate gameplay, which makes sense, but then the characters involved are so small you can't see the details. Come on now, does anyone want low res porn? I'm not trying to dictate style here, there's plenty of people with different taste, but I think we can all agree we want to actually see what's going on. Even out of things that aren't pixel art, it would probably be beneficial to think of gameplay that allows camera angles that one would want to see in porn, which are very different from the typical camera angles seen in video games.

And finally, there's the often cited problem with many porn games

I disagree with the less is more approach. I can see where you're coming from, but I think it's possible to go all out hardcore and make it work, if only we think about how.

The goal is a pornographic game, so therefore finding a concept wherein sex is a game, a challenge, is probably a good idea. But not that stupid trivia shit, because then you're not getting sexy stuff until you've already won. First idea that comes to mind, which will of course only make the concept even more taboo, is rape. But not like RapeLay, because it should be an action game.

I figure it's more like a fighting game or beat em up, genres that can easily fit into all the criteria listed above. Of course you're not doing simple fighting moves, the entire game is about sex, and all the moves reflect this. It's not that you're doing kicks that somehow rip clothes off, it's that you're doing grabs, grabbing at the clothes, ripping them off. And if the clothes are already off, you grab some titty. Grabbing the titty then increases your arousal level until you get it high enough to cum. Of course ripping the clothes off does too, but not as much. Basically, instead of inflicting damage on your opponent's health meter, you're raising your character's arousal level. Grab a titty, goes up 5 points. Finger a pussy, another 10. Penetrate with penis, 15, and each thrust is another 3, +5% for anal.

Perhaps since the game is already about rape, your opponent does have a health meter as well, but this is a secondary meter that has more to do with your final score rather than simply passing. If you want anything better than a D Rank, you gotta drain this meter before filling your own. Or perhaps the closer you get the meter to the bottom without killing the opponent, the higher your rank. Killing your opponent results in a loss, unless you're doing a special necrophilia mission or something.

Of course, draining the damage meter is itself difficult until you learn to play well enough to not be a one pump chump. And you certainly don't want to prematurely ejaculate, which is definitely a loss and gets you no reward (unless maybe you're a cuck who gets off by having your intended rape victims laugh at you). I don't know how exactly to incorporate this into gameplay though. Suffice to say, under normal conditions, draining the damage meter causes the arousal meter to fill up faster, so arousal will max out before health empties. Perhaps there are certain difficult to pull off maneuvers that don't fall victim to this ratio. Perhaps there is a dedicated "don't cum" button that you have to mash to lower your arousal level. Perhaps there are RPG elements that control how aroused your character gets by certain moves or certain enemy traits, or how aroused you can get in general before climaxing, not to mention plenty of other stats that other regular games alter with RPG elements.

In addition to the health meter, the opponent also has her own arousal meter. Hardest to raise, but gives you the biggest points reward, and is of course essential for S Ranks.

Everything written above works just as well with a female player character, only swap the situation so that rather than the difficulties of the meters being
player arousal

The porn was awful, I had a hard time fapping to that. Still the game was solid, albeit a bit difficult unless you just speed rolled your way to the end

...

...

I'm not sure if you're aware, but it seems like music is going to be a huge part of your proposed game to set the rhythm of everything going on. Look forward to seeing what comes forth.

Sounds a bit like "If Akiba's Trip was a hentai" because the entire point of that game is to rip everyone's cloths off (Because they're vampires).

And OP is a faggot for insinuating a game can't be good by merit of being solid in its execution, especially when it has fap material.

Is that the old game maker game where the controls barely work?

Sengoku Rance and Yu-No are both some of the best games in their respective genres.

That's a start, but remove the VN stuff and focus purely on the action. And while making it a beat em up with multiple enemies on screen is more common for the arcadey score based game I'm describing, I think focusing on single enemies allows for more focused camera angles, as well as more complex moves.

The only thing I have a major issue with is getting fulfilling fighting controls with only one hand. Fighting games are a genre where having lots of buttons really helps. I know there will be a bunch of people saying just to use a keyboard, but that's shit for fighting games and everyone knows it. Using a modern controller, you can have the joystick, the button from clicking the joystick, and two shoulder buttons easily accessible with one hand, plus a d-pad and select, but you have to move your hand off the joystick, which isn't ideal. Using one of those controllers with four buttons on the back, one for each finger, would mean five buttons including the joystick button, and that's plenty, but nobody actually has those controllers and you can't design a game around it.

And I think that's your clue not to have it too strong in the main game parts. Have some lewd, absolutely, I enjoy tickling people's clothes off and perving on my MC in Akiba's Trip. But, ultimately, that should just be build-up to the main porn bits which should have little to no gameplay in them.

I'm aware, but I'd much rather set the tone with proper sound and visual effects, much like FEAR did. Music largely "tells" you what to feel, instead of feeling it yourself.

Wouldn't it be possible to make some kind of game that plays well, is challenging enough, has fun mechanics and rewards you with animated sex scenes when you complete tasks? (Finishing a set of levels, beating a boss, etc)
Would that count as a porn game that also has good gameplay?

to do so would require thinking of sex as a skill, and gameplay would have to involve sexual movement, and as such, it couldn't be passive, you would have to do it so you have to move a lot, and actively watch the girls reaction, maybe i'm being too soft? maybe she isn't comfortable with the idea of having sex in the first date? you would need a fail state, but for there to be a fail state you shouldn't be allowed to do stuff like savescumming, plus each girl would be randomly generated, so if you screw too much with the girl you never have a chance with her again.

There's an important design decision to make, should the player be allowed to skip the dating time? how is it possible to calculate the consequences of dating when jumping right into the action? most importantly, sex has consequences, maybe a girl you screwed up with walks by and sees you and your next partner together, possibly triggering new events? the possibilities are endless! you can fuck anything!

pornographic doesn't necessarily mean involving sex as a mechanic. It's not necessarily a dating game, either.

Why do men have so much libido? So gross tbh.

You mean so little? Because women tend to have way more.

Ask biologists.

Source? That sounds like classic Holla Forums bullshit

It can, look at lifeweb.

It probably is

Yes. They are made by degenerates for degenerates, and degenerates only want instant gratification.

Because jerking off at least once a day is considered normal these days

huniepop

Who cares? People are still gonna buy your game to jerk off
One can simply be done with nukiges and eroges by just downloading the CGs and fapping away but you know that's not the case (people play the whole VN anyway to get the context)
Either go full gameplay with tidbits of porn or full porn with tidbits of gameplay

DoA games are not that bad actually

The same answer as why you are avatarfagging, 'hetshit' user.

MGQ

The best porn games are those which have good story, characters and gameplay and the porn is just the cherry on top.

To be honest it's a very interesting question, because from my point of view it is not the adult content that breaks the narrative as it is the reaction of people to this content that truly breaks it.

Porn could be used as an amazing storytelling device. Imagine how much the writer can say about one character just by showing him/her in bed. It's showing the character in the most intimate and private moment. Just giving the information about the fetishes of a character is something that can say so much.

Imagine an eroge with a cute shy nerd girl as one of the girls. You romance her and when getting to the sex scene, she nervously asks you whether she could tie you up and be the dominant one. It's a very small thing but it tells you that the main character is not really happy with the way she is and she wants to feel in control despite her natural shyness and being unable to act more dominant in relations with others.

Think about it, we have so many possibilities to use sex in writing for drama, comedy, character development and yet we throw it all away on the basis of being "decent" as if having sex was an unnatural act in itself. I fell that stigma that those works carry with them is really fucking unfair. There are good works with good stories that are also porn, you just have to look at Rance series or Kamidori Alchemy Meister for examples. I'm sure that if we looked into erotica writing, hentai manga and hentai anime, maybe even actor porn itself although personally I believe that actor porn will always be horrible just for the simple reason that it involves far less skill to produce than something that actually requires the creator to have drawing/programming/writing skill we would find some great stuff there.

Probably the only reason why most porn is nothing more than quick fapfuel is because people never expect anything more from it, when to be honest it could be more than it if we only allowed it to be.

No, it's just more readily accessible. Women gatekeep sex; if it were up to men we'd fuck all day.

speak for yourself, degenerate.

And reported.

Blow your fucking brains out.

I like sex. I'd like to have more of it, just like most men. Most women, however, don't like to put out as much as men, but I refuse to fuck men.

It's quite the conundrum.

Perhaps you should get a wife?

tbf what he said did sound like bullshit

Akumajou Succubus is actually one of the better Castlevania fan games.

There's nothing to refute, retard.

An obviously false statement was made and he asked for proof. Then you got triggered like the cock-sucking tumblrina faggot you are.

You might be able to push it so far that it gets disgusting and only a relatively small amount of degenerates are gonna actually stop and jack off.

Uh huh. Sure.

forgot password aswell faggot.

Download for the porn, stay for the gameplay.

sorry, got the download from a jewtube video

One his post ITT, one avatar. Looks legit. This isn't the first time this yurifag expresses the regret that he was born in the first place, being a result of 'hetshit' himself.

It's a vicious cycle. Anyone trying to tell a story with porn will be critcized by both people who only want the porn and people who only want the story. So the creator drops one or the other, which only justifies further criticism of the next attempt. Since porn has always been a hot-button topic in America it's probably never going to be the source of fresh attempts at using porn in stories.

luluufarea was pretty good

Here is the problem. People who actually produce pornography often lose their motivation for creating it in the first place after they themselves have fapped. That is unless they are being financially compensated. Moreover even if you are a talented artist, its still often easier to consume the plethora of readily available porn. Aside form some extremely odd fetishes the market is already over-saturated with free material. If someone wants to make a good porn game, they need to first focus on making a good game. But if they make a good game then their is no value in adding the shallow gimmick of pornography to the formula. Therefore a good porn game will likely be rare.

t. artist

As points out, the idea is that sex itself can reveal a lot about a character's personality and motivations. But once the sex is actually shown, players shift their entire way of thinking to "is this for fapping or for storytelling". Mentally shutting off any potential use of sex as a storytelling medium is the problem.

but user as a hobbyist the purpose of porn is to fap but without that motive then their needs to be another incentive for creating pornography. Often that other incentive is financial. If money is the motive then their is no point in tainting the product by adding unnecessary smut. That is not to say it cannot be done, but if you are a game developer and you first and foremost care about creating a genuenly fun game then you know that story and literal devices is secondary and often unnecessary. Moreover Netflix and HBO is living prof that anons suggestion that sex can be used as a sophisticated narrative device is often pure bullshit. Its inclusion in a product it inherently gratuitous and many normal people actually are put off by voyeurism.

which would hurt their bottom line.*

The hardness of my dick was overshadowed by my tears in the rain.
I really need that sequel to tell me everything is going to be 大丈夫.
I quite enjoyed the puzzle gameplay too.

...

Some serious authors include sex in their writing. It frequently doesn't work out as well as you hope. Kamidori is actually example of both, as the porn with the main heroines is pretty good and shows the development of relationship into lovers with an awkward start. They kind of lead into the other ones, with the women being obviously interested in Wil, but it doesn't work as well as the lead heroines. I don't mind, because I prefer it to the other scenario where you have much better side women and you can't fuck them, and instead get stuck with some lead girl who sucks.

I can also tell you that people who try what you are going for tend to be disappointed. The best case scenario is something where people pick it up for the porn and then go along with it for either gameplay or story. One of the worst case scenarios for that comes from when people shot gun fetishes into their game, because then it becomes a mine field for the player to avoid the fetishes they hate. Another is people avoiding a good game because the fetish catered to with the porn is something they hate. The last is when they consider the porn to be getting in the way of gameplay or story, which is what I tend to see from rape from loss type games.

I said it sounded like Holla Forums bullshit and asked for proof. Burden of proof lies with the person making the claim.

It sounds like Holla Forums bullshit because Holla Forums has a fuckton of angsty medieval memes like that in circulation - "labia is longer the more sex you have", "your vagina is looser the more sex you have", "women are irrational because their brains aren't made to be rational like men's brains". Shit like that comes mostly from people who have never even held hands with a girl before, which Holla Forums just so happens to be chock full of.


No, you go back to your fucking echochamber.

The rare examples of Kamidori and Sengoku Rance (never played but it gets mentioned a lot) will have to serve for now. Creators will fail at this very often but- to address OP's question- it is far from "impossible".

Thanks God that at least Japan exists, eh?


It's a problem of open-mindedness, there are people who when you would tell them that you play porn games with sexual content in them for the story would actually be inclined to believe you if you explained it well enough, but there are just people that have "sex scene=fapping" encoded so hard in their minds that your words would be at best met with a mocking "Yeah, of course".

It's the same problem that people have with cartoons actually. Most people cannot understand that animation might be a quality form of art in itself, because they've been taught that all cartoons are just stuff to distract kids with.


For every quality work in any genre there are at least ten mediocre and shit ones.

In theory, yes. In practice, no.
If the game is focuses on getting your rocks off, then it's not fun. It's task-oriented towards masturbation.
If it's focused on fun, it's going to work on mechanics and challenge, not sexual imagery and tension.

Either way, if you're older than 14, you shouldn't be jerking it to anime/vidya girls anyhow. I swear to God I'm not trying to derail the thread. Just an honest piece of advice that, for those who it applies to, you never got from positive male rolemodels.

...

Wasn't Fate also an example of an eroge that had a good story? Although I don't know how well the erotic content played into the actual game.

There are definitely some visual novels with porn and good stories, but I rarely play them so I cannot bring up any examples.


To be honest, jerking to anime/vidya girls is still a better think to do than jerking to real 3D actor porn although I'm trying to get into nofap, though more as a simple exercise of strong will rather than actual scientific, neurological or religious reasons from one simple reason: There's a difference of who you're supporting here.

In case of actor porn, it's literally someone shooting two people fucking each other on camera for money. If you support this practice, more people will fuck on camera for money.

In case of anime/vidya porn, at least you're supporting people with actual drawing and programming skills who might branch out into doing other cool stuff The author of Hellsing and Drifters was a hentai artist if I remember correctly, or even do something that uses sex as part of storytelling.

there are always exception to the general rule. I don't doubt its possible. But Its not probable for a number of factors. In Japan there is a epidemic of NEETS so porn games have a big enough audience that its profitable but then you also have the moral factor. The creator knows what they are producing may have a dysgenic effect on society by catering to Otakus. So that is also another reason why unless the money is right you will most likely never come across a honestly good porn game.

Bottom line: to be healthy, you should masturbate to imagination alone only a few times a week, in a clean and deliberate manner.
That said, both anime and professional porn are bad for different reasons. Porn is bad because it's fabricated nonsense that desensitizes men and associates his arousal with the sight of another man's penis. This and diminishing returns for pleasure, leads to escalating stimuli and tranny shit.

Anime porn is bad because it's rewiring your brain to ejaculate only to something that is completely artificial. And while I'm familiar with the perhaps justified animosity towards roasties, I assume that the end goal for even the most autistic neet is real sex with a real girl. Chronic masturbation to animated girls is counterproductive to that aim, however obscured it may be.
Sage for my off-topic comments.

nice bullshit deflect technique. Is this how you keep your caveman beliefs intact?

Again: strawman

fucking sapes

If that's the case I'd rather just watch a movie, since what you're describing is basically just unlocking cutscenes after gameplay.

Plenty of modern games already have gimped combat controls that use three or even two buttons. An average modern controller gives you three buttons and a joystick that can all be used at the same time, plus five extra buttons that can be reached easily with that one hand. That can be enough, you just have to be a little creative with the controls.


Women do fuck all day, just with only a few chads, while most men historically die virgins. This is provable with DNA evidence and everything. You have twice as many female ancestors than you do male ancestors, because women are always fucking chad, and most guys don't fuck at all.

my fucking sides

holy fuck, lad, you reek of beta

No. If it is within the rules of the Universe it is not impossible.

Why on Earth would you settle for that kind of garbage?

Sengoku Rance is what you want

sup

Are they done with paradox yet? Are the parts they've released good?

Bayonetta is pretty lewd.
Not pornographic but still good

This is factually correct, though. If my ex and I didn't have sex for a week or more, that shit would tighten right back up. It only took one or two times to get it back to normal, but the difference was noticeable for both of us.

...

Be honest. I know there's years of bitterness and sour grapes warping your perceptions, but I'd wager even the worst will still like a real woman. Guys only go for waifus once they've become a recluse. Nothing about a 2-d girl is good for its own sake, it's all mental gymnastics and ego-self-preservation.

Parasite in City 2 never ever

Only weak white men have waifus. If they just went with a nice African or Asian girl they wouldn't need one and would forget about them for 3D pussy.

wanna know how I know you're trolling?

>NEVER EVER

No, I simply don't want to share my life with an unattractive and unlikable sack of flesh that could randomly decide to run off with half my shit at any time, and that's without taking into account the risk of breeding.

Good. Either you're being serious or you sure got one over on us by telling lies on the internet.

It would be easier to take this image seriously if Holla Forums wasn't filled with NEETs and sperglords who will never have offspring.

Undoubtedly yes user.

What are you talking about, 90& of Holla Forums are self proclaimed 120+ IQ White men in their prime but it's just society hasn't left a single virgin for them to marry. :^)

Why hello there, Moishe.

MGTOW is literally being a sex realist and understanding that men and women are programmed differently. I am not one but I understand why someone would willingly not want to play into a (generally) losing game.

Oh and if you give a shit about your genetics then why not just donate sperm. I mean, you could literally have hundreds of children then and not even have to take care of them which means you basically just won evolution.

Gameplay was mediocre. Animations were okay.

Why would you use that as the example to follow? I'm saying to make a game that has gameplay parts, broken up by porn parts, like Sengoku Rance is. Mixing the two doesn't work, because I don't want to be focusing on playing a game during porn bits, and vice versa.

that was drawn by Nick Bougas himself.

I think you faggots underestimate how difficult it is to give sperm/successfully find a donor.
If you're not ripped, 120+ IQ, 6'2''+, in a respectable career, etc, no chick/center is going to want your child.
In other words, if you're here, donating sperm is a waste.

You know, I'm no geneticist, but, mathematically, that sounds impossible to me. It takes a male and a female to make a child, so how can a person end up with twice as many female ancestors? Something just doesn't sound right here.
I'd like to see it.

This phrase doesn’t exist. That’s what outed you. Kill yourself, dipshit.
Prove Holla Forums is bullshit.
Yeah, uh, I’ve been posting on Holla Forums since its founding on cuckchan and no one has ever said that there. Ever. At any time. And I’m an autistic faggot who visits every day whenever he gets the chance. TRY HARDER.
Uh, so medical fact is ‘bullshit’ now, huh?
So neurological fact is ‘bullshit’ now, huh? You know nothing whatsoever.

lol, irony
Reported for obvious cuckchan leftypol shill.

I wish women were more loyal to their husbands and had sex with nobody but their husbands. Then i think of islam and that thought withers away.

...

There are women who think the same about men…

i just don't understand how Holla Forums isn't more muslim since it pretty much values everything Holla Forums jerks off to

If they are not hypocritic, i would respect such values, but not under feminist. They should respect the status of a housewife, and know their place in a family like a faithful cog in the well oiled machine.

Hello hollyjew leftypol gay movie director, you think i don't know you through the screen of your monitor?

But the same dev is making a "spiritual sequel" with exactly the same kind of gameplay. It just isn't a story sequel.

I haven't been to Holla Forums in quite some time, but I don't think they value these things.

i don't think you understand how racial purity and royalty works if you don't promote cousin fucking

There are some, most of them outed as Muslims who saw all the Anti-Semitisim and thought they were amongst other Muslims

Don't worry, on day of the rope all Holla Forums that isn't Holla Forums will die.

That may be how it works for your people,Schlomo.

nice try schlomo but stop pretending to be right wing

Look under 'inbreeding' in just any genetics textbook that covers the issue.

Or, if you want to be politically correct, under 'consanguineous marriage'.

the hilldawgs lost my friend

so are you telling me that its beneficial to racemix and Holla Forums has been feeding me a sack of lies?


that's right, i don't know why you keep bringing that dumb bitch up

Wow, I didn't know you're a kike.

Then just plan for it and make the design accomidate the issue you already discovered. Dont have the money shit in the middle. Have it at the end or after long chapter closings so the player can relax after completing the section, fappin, and pick it up and continue later.

Do you want this to continue all day?

No, kike.
