I love the changes. Totally bonkers, buddy. Like hilarious out of left field bonkers. I've played LOTS of games, tbf almost exclusively not smolls games so if there are any like this I missed them, and I've never seen anything quite like this. Anything that is truly original is basically unheard...
I remember it like it was yesterday. It was Air (a Japanese AVN). It must have been 20 years ago. This was way way before English language AVNs were a twinkle in a dev's eye.
A sandbox like Come Home works pretty well. It only works well because you aren't grinding anything. No points or items or the like, you just pick a girl to go see. And don't pick a girl you don't want to see. In that game it works pretty well as player agency is respected. In a game like Power...
Outside of a few guys like Proud Father dev, I believe the monetization possibilities at SS is wildly lower than at Patreon. That said, if enough "mainstream" devs are forced over there it might grow. SS truly doesn't seem to care what sort of content pops up over there as long as it doesn't...
I'm guessing they're counting on flying under the radar. I suspect there isn't a guy in the RIAA playing porn games looking for copyrighted music. That might work for a time. But if they get popular enough, that'll end in a not great way i'm thinking
I a little tired of hearing the same songs on every other game. There just isn't all that much out there for free or cheap that is okay to put in a porn game. As a bit of an aside, the game Last Oasis Before Chastity went an entirely different way. They just pulled songs they like and put em in...
I don't like futa or gay, but trap and trans are great. I don't much like cuck or femdom. But some flavors of ntr are fine. Real porn is a hard no. As is AI art right now.
City of Broken Dreamer. That game reminds me of the original Blade Runner movie. I hated that too. For the same reason. I can look at CoBD and KNOW it's objectively a well made game. But I've never been more bored while playing a game. It's so sterile. It looks nice. But oof. Boring. A shame...
Ah crap. I didn't realize that one had been abandoned. A shame. Girls were so cute in that one. Could easily tell that the dev didn't really know what he was trying to do with that game.
I don't like AI generated visuals. But in 5-10 years it'll have improved enough that I suspect that'll be most of the AVN landscape. Better realism is gonna be a big big deal. It removes the concept of artist from 3D artist, but it is what it is.
Most people "want" shorter update cycles. That goes with smaller updates though. And the possibility of no content if your particular girl/girls aren't included this time around. There's really nothing more annoying than downloading something and getting like 5 minutes of playtime in your chosen...
These girls are cute! I see you didn't go with the bog standard DAZ model look. You've heavily modified them. Good choice. There's not much going on there as far as lighting as such. That'll help a bunch. Without good lighting renders tend to look "flat". If that makes sense. These are great...
