I find the slow burns allow a good story to be created, when they jump you to the porn too fast, is normally, but not always, because the story is not very good or is not the focus of the game
I really doubt that a AI driven game can compete with a human created story, mainly that unless there is a huge breakthrough in AI the game will only be an unoriginal and derivative script
I think that is more general the issue, not only on the games, but also in books or series, where the best friend is annoying in general or with a massive character flaw, maybe to show how the protagonist is better or cooler that the rest
If the gameplay feels grindy, I might cheat to skip ahead to the story, however, if the gameplay feels meaningful and ties into the story, I really enjoy it. But, creating a game with that delicate balance is incredibly difficult.
For me I feet that a good story is always a good start, when the plot becomes too weird or confusing (23 Sisters) it can become less appealing.
PS: I know that 23 sisters is his first game and the story of You must be registered for see element. is soooo good mainly Cozmo, when it became...
Not a fan of those games, they fell like some generic porn, sometimes because the developer can't find all the scenes with the "main character" and have to get some other actor, and for me that breaks all the immersion of the game and throws me off :/
This is why I find games with bimbofication very weird, and some games that have a lot of characters with very weird proportions
Big boobs that feel like they belong are cool, small ones area algo cool
I wonder is open source game engines like Godot will grow in adult games after that, mainly with new games of the developers that use Unity currently on their current projects
I think that Unreal add too much complexity for most developers, C++ is very hard to do well, and most of the developers that want to do something more advanced than RenPy I think they use Unity, that I thinks is a good balance between advanced engine and ease of use
