discussion What kind of game TYPE is missing in H games? What could make a good H game?

[maraschouche]

I know, I know - not many play H games for the GAME, but what kind of game would be fun to incorporate H into?

For me, there is this clever puzzle game called "Dungeon Divers" on steam (

In it, you see a dungeon and have to use the rules to label all the rooms on a dungeon map according to rules (the guest room is always closest to the stairs, the hermit room is always the furthest from the stairs, the common room has the most other rooms next to it, etc, etc) It's a fun logic puzzle, and you get items that allow you to break the rules in a roguelike way during your run. If you pick three wrong answers, game over.

I think it would be fun to try and map out where the hot babe is in a college dorm and use similar rules.

What ideas for a real game that might make a good H game do YOU have?

A really good story with passionate love making. We hardly ever see it.

One time I found a gay porn movie back then that was so passionate, so driven by love that it turned me on completely. None of that excessive moaning and body movement, but more on the feels and touch. Afterwards it was pure romance and lovey-dovey.

I think there's a lot of room for different game types to be honest. Right now, most everything is dominated by VN style stories with minigames, since Ren'py makes it vastly easier to develop for, and there really isn't a lot of variation in gameplay.

Personally, I think there's a lot of room for a rogue-lites, where it isn't a long story but instead has dozens or hundreds of different combinations depending on chance and choices. There's a game One More Chance that plays with the concept, though it's more of a single timeline that gets repeated with improving stats.

As a specific example though, I think it'd be neat to have a city manager game where you take over as mayor and have to balance developing the town and corrupting it into a cesspit of degeneracy. I know there are similar concepts, but I'm thinking along the lines of The Headmaster, where you gradually cajole and corrupt the ruling authority and actually see it reflected in how you interact with the world.

That or something like Darkest Dungeon, only instead of sending expeditions into the dungeon, you're a cult leader sending expeditions out into the local town. With each successful crawl, you corrupt the local area, ultimately defeating a boss that opens a new area, new recruits, and extends the cult's control. Instead of dying, lost characters get arrested for exposure and likely sexual assault, and you can bust them out from the facility where they are getting the mandatory therapy they probably need lol.

Honestly, I think nsfw gaming is pretty undeveloped as a field, with the industry being entirely comprised of small independent developers and groups.

Some kind of detective/noir style game where you can choose different paths for the MC to go down. Think morally good/bad path. At least I'm not aware of any game close to that and recommendations are highly welcome.

There's a "hidden" community on YouTube of psuedo-NTR stories. Guy gets cucked but then takes revenge afterwards

Sounds like a gameplay loop to me. Rub one out then get mad about it

maybe this has been done already but like drafting/engine-builder mechanics with lewd elements could be fun

I don't think there is a specific name for it but there loads of channels. Fair warning, it's slop. Good for playing in the background though. Temptress/lady cheating tales, narrative, crazy pepper revenge should set you down the rabbit hole. These aren't particularly sexual because YouTube. But, there are definitely times where they enhance the cuck aspect. The thumbnails are sometimes very explicit (and hilarious).

I read a decent amount of visual novels and they all tend to follow the same path. Common route, followed by branches for each charater. You don't come across VNs that let you change your mind in the lore/call them out on some bullshit and then switch to another girl. Usually the MCs just puts up with the situation, or find another way to deal with it. Katawa Shoujo has some options like this and Princess Evangile has one of the routes go into a love triangle, but by that point your already locked onto the route so you know how the triangle is going to end. It would just be nice to throw issues back in their face and be like no thanks, I'm off.

MMORPG. If we can have live service H-games we can damn well have HMMOs

Hard agree! most of the time is just sex and even the build up to it it's forced or grindy in a way that's unnatural, rarely we see actual passionate love.

Hard agree here. The dungeon diving minigame in Aurelia had me thinking "shit, this could be fleshed out into its own game, 100%." Especially if the VN-style content was still there as part of the overworld, and the characters were the townsfolk that ran your standard roguelite services. ESPECIALLY if the LIs were available to join a small party, too.

will never happen but a porn game with an AAA budget
