discussion Should the game have some sex before they post the game as ready?

It's not a hard requirement, and I stay away from most first releases. But If there's no hank panky after version .003, I figure they may never provide it or don't know how.

Depends. For instance in Radiant their was a sex scene first upload. The problem arises or rather decietfulness is when you actually think on why the developer did that. The first sex scene was narritve establishment on why the three girls are you daughters and yes, I'm not quite sure if there was a better way to convey that by a literal sex scene. Yet, and this is the point I'm making is that by doing so it inflated the vn with tags such as 'creampie', 'vaginal sex', 'pregnancy' which gave the idea early on that there was more action than in actuality. Which certainly irritated quite a few people who were in the assumption of a lot sex scene each new update.

Just go watch porn? No clue why people play AVNs if they're not semi interested in the story. Porn is much quicker/easier to find

It should have at least one scene of a naked female, a promise of future scenes.

If it's a true AVN, then not necessarily. The "N" is for novel, and novels have development and build into something. Because of the "A", there should be some sort of "adult" conduct - maybe foreplay, maybe a flashback to a prior relationship - but the MC doesn't have to be nailing someone in the first episode if there's an actual story going on and the writing is decent.

That said, if the initial release if significant - say 3 hours of play time, there should be some kind of "adult" payoff that is beyond a voyeur episode, but with a frequent updater that only has about an hour worth of play time and gets updated every 6-8 weeks, then the first release can be light on the lewd and still be okay. But, I like a story - I was never a big fan of the "three words and fuck" porn flicks. Yeah - they'd have great looking girls and hot scenes, but there was nothing to them for the mind. I have one - your mileage may vary.

The game has to have a really good story for me to not lose interest if there isn't any sex. Keep me engaged and I won't mind nearly as much.

 

[TravelerofTime&Space]

Definitely some sex before release.

 

[Izzy]

Yes it should. A good mix of sex and story will usually keep me interested in a game the longest

 

[setzer]

It should have SOMETHING.

Just a lil something to either tease or titillate. otherwise, complete waste of time.

 

[Lliiam]

YES like at least have a couple sex scenes ready, ive played many promising games that never had sex to begin with which just ruined my mood and time

I think what bothers people more than the first release lacking erotic content is the bait and switch. If the developer puts in the notes "Hey this is the first release and there aren't sex scenes yet," there's no reason for people to complain, just close the tab and come back to the game in a few updates. If that kind of note isn't up front then people will comment annoyedly that the game is nonsexual, and the bad part about that is that those comments stay on the first page of the game forever, whereas the dev note/tags can be changed later. Some people will complain in comments anyway but usually it will be more like "OK, I'll check back in a few releases" which isn't as negative.

if it doesn't have sexual scenes in the first update then I won't play it as I want to see how the game can be.

Buildup is good, but it is nice to have at least some morsel of what's to come before getting invested in waiting for updates. That's why I usually wait until a game is far enough along before getting myself roped in.
