discussion Bored game dev and want general opinion.

[RunningMouth]

I personally hate unrealistic proportions. I'm a fan of the itty bitty titty committee, but even so I don't mind big knockers smashing me in the face. What I can't stand are games with ONLY breasts that have their own gravitational orbit. Or giant horse dicks on dudes. That's just my preference, normal looking people.

The writing has to be done well enough to not take too long and not take too fast, though. That's hard to do and also probably has to do with preference again. Characters and their relationships matter. If I'm just trying to bang some college chick drunk at a party then fine, let's get straight to the banging. If I'm trying to seduce my mom it shouldn't take me 3 conversations until I'm making her stomach look like an alien is about to pop out of it. Same with the rest of any family members.

I also dislike speech checks and stat points that lock you out of events or romances. They're either a useless time gate or a frustrating way to make people play the game more than once.

on thing i also like is when their is a variety of ages both on the older and younger side. games are boring when it is just 5 19 year old girls. a variety of social positions is good to.

Dude totally agree. I also hate when they all have the same body type... Like fuck give me some variety.

 

[KippyKeppy]

i am kind of a lewd game encyclopedia if you have questions. playing them is kind of a hobby

Lol noted! Will keep you in mind!

Well, if you ask the same group of people on the same site that rank Games/Games+ you're probably going to get similar answers, statistically speaking. As far as story types, depending on who you ask, there are basically 3, 5, 7, 9 or 36. All are valid. You can try to re-invent the wheel or you can go with what works. Maybe it's my bias speaking, but I tend to go with people like King, Sanderson and Martin to find the hooks and tropes that tend to work. Not always, mind you, but they are pretty consistent. Humans' are pretty reliable when it comes to what attracts them - even if they will argue to the death that they are unique.

In my experience, people don't know what they want, until they do. So asking them is rather pointless. Find the hook. Follow the rules, but know when to break them. And do your best to manifest it. Then let the audience decide.

As a dev, the one added factor is time. What is popular today may not be what is popular in six months or a year when your project is released. Chasing fads is a sure way to fail.

Totally agree with you. That's why I am going to do something that I am interested in and also have ideas from the community to keep in mind.

The scenarios bro! The build up before the scene, the change of music the camera angles the sensual clothes the change of mood to a flerting way, a romantic atmosphere for mating. That might sounds cliche but thats really turns me on. Or the MC can rape everyone and ppl still like it if it has good renders

 

[Viir Hahnu]

Please consider sound design fully especially for naughty scenes it just makes the experience even better.
By the way, i wish you good luck for any projects you do create in the future.

To me dialogue writing in scenes is super important and I feel like it gets overlooked in favor of art.

That the dev doesn't want to create at least one harem route, I don't understand why he fucks with all of them but then chooses one, he has a threesome scene and then having to choose one at least creates another route.
Another who does a remake when the work is half finished or about to end.
Finally, don't delay the sex, let's say v.0.4 and there is still no sex, it's disappointing but well it's the dev's decision (but the remake is a disappointment)

 

[User_145270]

Hate - blueballing/slow burn/teasing. It's not cool, it's annoying as fuck and makes most players want to punch the dev so hard their face turns inside-out.

I disagree with this. Of course the writing would have to be really good. But IMO there aren't enough incest stories where there is a realistic(ish) build-up from normal family life.

-Good UI
-Animations
-Reasonable grinding. Having to endlessly grind the same scenes to progress is not content.
-Balance between text and smut.
-Focus on certain kinks. No need to include any possible kink in the same game.
-Realistic body proportions. No need for fishing rods for dicks or boobs that weigh as much as the rest of the body.

Any grinding whatsoever is unreasonable.

 

[159753smm]

Definitely, grinds can ruin the best of games.

So I am a pro game dev that has worked on some super big titles and was looking for a fun dirty project to work on in my personal time.

I want to get a feel for what people love/hate the most about these type of games (besides the obvious) and see what I can come up with story/gameplay wise.

What's everyone opinion about the games? (Not the devs - I know some arent the best)

Meaningless repetitive grinding and huge conversations like hugeeee

 

[hooloo1]

Depends on the grinding ,sometimes it is quite repetitive and annoying

 

[159753smm]

Hmm, does it tho. can't really think of a grind ever leaving a positive impression. Maybe i'm only remembering the bad grinds as actual grinds, and the good ones are not thought of as that.

 

[Magooo]

I am a fan of many kinks and I love games that satisfy a range of rarely seen kinks.

 

[gambino32]

I like grinding games. I also like where devs implement puzzles and/or nonskippable routes. By that I mean, that you have to pay attention the the game and not mainly focus on skipping scenes to get to the content. Games like insexual awakening and Summertime Saga come to mind

Are you a mascohist? Minigames suck the festering cum out of a dead skunk's rotting dick - making them unskippable is a "bastard dev" move.

Christ, you paint a vivid picture! But kinda agree tho

lol if your going to skip scenes, then what's the point of a game? You want everything Spoonfed for your easy nut
