How much money do I realistically stand to make if I start developing erotic visual novels?
10ks-100ksgood luck getting any payment provider to actually give you the money though
infinite if you know how to drip feed patreon subhumans
>>724232970None because you're the kind of bitch who thinks about money instead of how horny you are.
>>724232970Don't do it Anon!WEG devs are cursed.You might vanish under unexplained circumstances.
>>724233442You will constantly get sick! You'll fear for your life and need breaks! Your family will frequently have emergencies! You'll get hit by a car! You'll need mental health breaks! All of this gets increased by like 100x!!! And worst of all you'll probably end up leaving and never updating your game again!
>>724232970If it makes me cum more than twice without getting bored, I might send 5 bucks your way.
>>724232970>>724232970Looks like most of the top earners are 2d artists, and the vast majority of them have been at it for 4+ years.
>>724232970Same as any other game. Not much if anything. Erotic games are just as oversaturated. Sure, the ones that are popular and can drag it out well enough make bank but odds are you won't.So if you're doing it to make money, try something else. If you're doing because it's something you like, go for it anyway. Better you enjoy your time than not and you never know, it may do well.
Not OP, but I'm making one basically just to practice for making a proper VN down the road
>>724233771All while still getting paid in full on Patreon, no less!
>>724232970Unless you're making NTR or furry WEGs, don't bother since barely anyone will want to sub to your Patreon.
>>724232970before you write an entire novel.write one small scene and then finish it in DAZ and see how you feel
>>724233771It's not just physical maladies. An evil goon hater witch has cursed WEGs. You will feel your very spirit and energy weakened. You will lose motivation to do anything. Struggle to fit any work in between your 8-12 hour anime and bed sessions.
>>724232970Well, the gamedev you posted makes this every month and also sold over a million copies on Steam, so..
>>724232970Why do that when you can make $4k a month selling AI sloppa on Patreon?
Thoughts on a smaller interactive one linked up with LLMs? <1h per playthrough.Freeform dialogue with the girl(s) steering you towards one of X things you can do. CYOA styleWill take wrangling, and also needs an api, but could be fun.
>>724235374Immersion breaking and probably more work than just writing the branches yourself.
>>724235703yeah but the interactivity is just so fucking fun. And if there's some meta steering and automatic image triggering included that would up it even more.Of course it all depends on how hard you can drill the AI to stay on course and in character.
>>724235094He said, "realistically." Realistically, he doesn't have the benefit of spending eight years building an army of simps.https://graphtreon.com/patreon-creators/adult-gamesSort by days running (ascending). These guys are getting a few hundred per month. If you work on your VN an hour a day, that's like $10/hr.>Launched 2013>$311/monthGRIM
dont bother. for every 1 success there's 100 failuresi got 5 subscribers over 2 months so am about to give up
>>724235897>$300kek, why even care at this point
>>7242329702-300
>>724236095are you shilling your shit? Get some SEAs to spam it fucking everywhere for $2.5 an hour.Doesn't matter how good the game is if no one sees it
>>724236095Is it daz slop?
>>724232970>How much money do I realistically stand to make if I start developing erotic visual novels?When I did the math several years ago, only 5% of the 2000+ adult game creators on Patreon made more than the US minimum wage.I've also seen data on Steam that shows adult games, contrary to popular perception, tend to be less profitable than regular games because explicit sexual content severely reduces the audience you can reach.But there are advantages. Adult games have dedicated niches. You don't have to make something of very high quality, and you'll still likely find a small interested niche that will stick with your product because they know how hard it is to find exactly what they want in this area.Summary: you probably won't make much money with adult games, but you have a higher chance of finding a small monetizable niche with them.
>dicking around with various ethnic-sounding AI voice text-to-speech sites>discover there's effectively no limits on what you can make the voices say>want a black woman to say "Yes massa, whip dat worthless nigger!"? OK.>want an indian woman to say "Poojeets and street shitters should be killed!"? OK.>arabic woman talking about how she prays to Allah daily for a white man to breed her? OK.>asian woman ranting about how asian men are small-dicked losers? OK.>now I can't stop thinking about making an extreme race-play VN with full voice actingI know I'll never be able to make a dime off of it, I'm pretty sure I would get nuked off of Patreon if I tried.
>>724236721Do it for the love of the art.
Guys I need a good WEG suggestionI just need a game where the MC romances and fucks his mom, that's kinda all I want. I don't want a million other characters or a overly convoluted crime story to care about
>>724232970is she still blueballing player or can you actually fuck her now?
The struggle, eternal.
>>724235897300$ a month is probably more than a minimum wage in weg dev countries.
>>724236721What AI?
>>724239675I'd love to know the actual breakdown. A lot of people like to make fun of slavs but I genuinely get the impression that the majority of weg devs are in western Europe or the Anglosphere.
>>724233183>payment provider to actually give you the money thoughelaborate?
>>724239205I don't do it for art, I do it because the only adult game I've found that claimed to be race-play was so incredibly tame and bland in order to slip by. I couldn't even tell there was race-play in it, unless the devs just counted having a white guy fucking a black girl as race-play.That and I am somewhat interested in seeing how much outrage it could generate.
>>724241075He is delusional. Patreon provides payment via credit card or paypal.
>>724235828Would be better to just write a query system and parser yourself, like really old RPGs used to do.
>>724239779All of them that I have tried. Whatever restrictions exist on image generation doesn't seem to extend to text-to-speech voice generation. Hume.ai has one of a black woman that doesn't even require a sign-up to use and has no limits in how many times it can be used. And it's more than happy to say "Please let me worship your white cock master!" Or "As soon as a black girl can talk, she should be taught to call white men sir." But if you do sign up(use a burner e-mail in case they ever decide to check what you are genning and ban you), a lot of them have a wide range of voices to pick from.
>>724241325think he meant the itch.io debacle
>>724232970zeroyou will never make anything
How many followers do you have on social media? Nobody is going to market your game for free.You should build your customer base first. Post your work online for free and maybe in a few years you can think about making a game with a price tag.Some anons here unironically believe slapping some Ai images and text together will make them rich.
>>724241180>That and I am somewhat interested in seeing how much outrage it could generate.Rightful Ownership caused a lot of seething on f95One guy seethed for months. The guy's avatar resembled a six-pointed star, come to think of it...
>>724241075If you go into fetishes that aren't approved by our financial overlords, you might end up having a hard time.This guy is a naive retard and you should hate him: >>724241325
>>724243793Huh, that was the race-play game I was referring to. If that caused seething, the Church of White Men is going to cause enough butthurt to power the sun. I already know the stuff I'll have the muslim women saying will require me to make sure I don't leave anything that identifies me in the game, or I'll have a jihad declared on me.
>>724232970If you're competent and target the more degenerate of fetishes, you might be able to build a decent playerbase.
>>724233771Don't forget constant and never-ending hardware failures, loss of backups, and of course internet and power outages that happen right when you're intent on uploading a new version of your game!
>>724244207Paypal hates live-action porn. They don't care about nsfw art (except loli, guro, incest and furry). Follow Patreon guidelines and nothing will ever happen.
why not just dump your blender sex loops on r34 sites with a patreon link?
>>724244207>>724245725Poorfag here, how viable is to hire a few artists and duck tape the whole thing into a porn game to make some pennies?
>>724245961>hire artistsbetter off buying a used 4080 and pump out a couple hundred AI slop images, cheaper too
>>724245721>internet and power outages that happen right when you're intent on uploading a new version of your game!oh gosh, these ones typically last for months, don't they?
>>724246063Are "gamers" okay with AI assets in porn games?
>>724246089yes, miyukiai and balecxi make big bucks shitting out ai sets
>>724236721What I am really looking for is translation who keep the voice acting, moaning ect I want to translate animated porn to my languageAnyone know how ?
>>724246639I've seen a few that are capable of doing languages other than English. As for inflection, moaning, tone, etc, I'm still learning how to do that. Best I've been able to figure out so far is by using capitalization and exclamation marks and re-genning a few times, I can get the voices to talk loudly, or yell. Sometimes it will emphasize a word properly, but not always.
>>724246089as long as you train your AI on a specific model and maybe add some of your own tweaks to it then yesmost jeets just use the standard settings that's where the "AI look" comes from because it is all the same shit
>>724247367I see, I guess it'e voice cloning then change the language for prononciation, or do you just rewrite everything in your own language and pray for it to sound not weird ?
>>724246089It depends how off model the the AI slop gets. The problem is that AI opens the flood gate for code monkeys with no creative talent to pump out games with character models that noticeable change change scene to scene.
>>724244207on top of the usual /d/ tier fetish, patreon only bans incest and rape
Not much these days. You missed the big WEG boom by several years.
>>724248150and anything involving beastiality, sometimes
>>724247825I use google translate when I want the non-english voices talking in their native language. I have no way of telling if they are pronouncing words correctly since I only speak english, but it doesn't sound like it's gibberish. Cloning a voice is tricky unless you have clear audio with no other noises and voices, even then it's not perfect.As for not sounding weird, sometimes it will just gen some odd sounding tones or throw some words and noises in you didn't request. All you can do is regen or edit and regen and hope it gives you a better result. You might have more control if you are willing to pay, but I'm working off of free accounts.
>>724248326use vibevoice. you can get accents to if the sound file you use is speaking german or spanish or whateverhttps://files.catbox.moe/mt1az5.webm
>>724240560thank you anon, gods work
>>724246089Yeah but only if done right. Devs who just shit out raw unedited ai images are going nowhere.
>>724248561Excellent, thank you anon, I'll be making good use of this. Also saw some AI's claiming to be able to generate singing. If that is valid, then the Church of White Men is gonna have some hymns.
>>724249632>lso saw some AI's claiming to be able to generate singingSuno, it's really good
>>724249548let me guess, this is actually femboy & femboyWithTits house
>>724249752>can do singing with instrument backingAlright, hymns and songs. Hopefully they are capable of a lot of different accents.
