How much money do I realistically stand to make if I start developing erotic visual novels?
>>724295952realistically $40 a month on patreonbut you can win the lottery and make cash out if you've got the right mix of art, writing, fetish, and gameplay
It's not worth your dignity to do this, Anon.
>>724296007What's the best way to win the lottery? Fury fart game?
If you intend to make money, then you have to ALWAYS analyze your value proposition:What can you offer than others don't?
>>724296073Furry and weight gain maybe, but Furry and anything is bound to gather interest from them probably
>>724296076Cuck shit
>>724296073>>724296259>>724296317>furry inflation fart NTR gameYea I'd check it out
>>724296317Gotta have to be more specific than that. Your competition in that space is a whole island nation
>>724296417>your fox wife cheats on you by letting other men fart into her
>>724296417>>724296469Now this, this has potential
>>724295952you're 5 years too late my dear friendunless you somehow hit a niche nobodys ever doneits over>competing against the big boys>and now competing against AI writing, ai art>as well as patreon always raping your ass
Just exploit horny morons with patreon for years before finishing the product, then start doing a new one.
>>724295952If you're thinking about it purely from a money perspective you've already lost. I am tired of playing games without passion.
>>724296076>What can you offer than others don't?A script written by someone who natively speaks English as a first language. Would that be enough?
>>724296668ai already does that for you
>>724296417>>724296539I might be wrong but I don't think there is much cross interest between Furries and cuckshit
>>724295952Do I have to do it every time now?
>>724296696Give me your market research data and we'll talk
>>724297041I'd buy this, break the decrepit faggot off and just hit those saggers with my cock until I coom.
>>724296073Incest
>>724296668>porn game>I can do the script!You're worth nothing
>>724296007this is nothing to do with lottery but work and talent.
>>724295952First kys
>>724295952You'll have better luck making a vn in the 'forbidden' side of WEG's. Lower saturation and due its more taboo nature, people are more invested. If your renders are decent, people will pay big to keep your game from being abandoned.
>>724295952I honestly don't know how anyone can make any money off of smut games these days after the Visapocalypse.
>>724296009>incel>dignityNOT a good one
>>724296007"Gameplay" lmao
>>724295952I have an idea, all I can say that it's a management sim.Unfortunately I'll never share the idea and I'm incompetent.
>>724296007>right mix of art, writing, fetish, and gameplayBEHOLD
>>724299925It's crazy to think the amount of money some porn devs make is more than most doctors.
>>724295952You already made this thread. Oh good it's another retard who got a ton of yous and will now spam this for months
I always get unlucky with these fucking things, I get into one after seeing that the content is of a good quality and the dev is uploading regularly and then boom suddenly their schedule starts to falter
>>724299630All of the mainstream shit is over saturated and the only niches left will get you in trouble with the law, the Humminbird guy definitely hit a niche but had to NOPE the fuck off the internet when the FBI got involved.
>>724296631Where do I advertise it. let's say hypothetically I have the art skill, a story, a patreon account, etc., how would I let my audience know I'm working on a game. How would I cultivate an audience to begin with.
>>724300396He's back. He posted the March update in August, and he's posted to the thread since.
>>724299534>wegdevs with a track record of finished games and regular updates have stagnant or declining paypig numbers>meanwhile scamdevs who put out a 10 minute update once a year keep raking it inwhat did anon mean by this
>>724296073Consistent updates and don't drop your game after 3 months.And stop looking for excuses to make furry fart porn please.
>>724300605It takes an even bigger retard to actually give WEGtards what they want instead of scamming them for infinite bucks when you realize how low the standard for the market is. Any attempt to raise the bar will be failed due to westerners actively stomping any outright sexual games while safe horny shit like BG3 given a pass.
>>724295952I haven't played since the big party update 2 years ago since I was doing both jill and bella route and it was a huge pain to redo that whole section again for bella
>>724296009>ESL >dignity
it's so much work to be an e beggarcompared to normalfag games. like I saw lots of modders for assetto corsa who have like 50k per month for making one mod with deluxe version
>>724297208I think you can do better than that, Anon.
>>724295952realistically, not much because you're 8 years late to the party and your game probably isn't any better than the rest of the slop vying for patreon donations.
>>724299925this guy got in on the ground floor. you want to get WEG rich, you need a time machine to go back to when f95 was a new website and shill your game in the very earliest days of the WEG renaissance.
>>724300396Surely bitcoin and a vpn originating from russia or africa will suffice.
>>724295952To be real with you, AI is gonna replace the erotic visual novel industry very very soon.AI will be able to generate image & response to you however you want.You can make the character do whatever you want, and it will be able to generate it.
>>724303415Eh , the way nvidya releases consumer cards we are at least 10-15 years away from being able to run decent big models locally. I am not ok with cloud solutions. Smut gets censored and delefed every other year.
>>724303415yeah sure in 10 years maybe.
>>724303585>we are at least 10-15 years away from being able to run decent big models locallyYou can run 200B models right now for like 20k worth of hardware.Or you quantize them and pay only 10k. Still too expensive? Quantize them further and pay only 5k.
>>724295952Like 10 years ago some furry was making $27k/month in patreon donations for a furry visual novel he was "developing". He supposedly spent years on it, posting screenshot teasers every few weeks to keep people interested. I'm 90% sure it was just some sort of kickstarter scam cuz at that point, why even bother releasing a game?
>>724300429Same with with making money from any social media. You make posts that get ~5 views for years until you hope you eventually get a fanbase
>>724300429You submit it to F95 and if its good it will quickly pick up fans.
If you decide to sell you soul to the suspiciously wealthy furries, for fuck sake at least make a game involving women and not obese faggots
>>724295952What are some good vanilla adult games that are available for free on itchio bros? Male protag, hot girls, no weird stuff like inc*st/net*rare/sw*nging/fur*y/f*tanari/g*y icky stuff. Here's what I enjoyed playing>Summer Heat>Finding Color in the Ashes>Innocent Witches>What a Legend!
>>724296417Foxes and fox women are faithful and monogamous doebeit
>>724295952More than you can count on one hand.
>>724305005most of the big earners are vanilla chads
>>724295952Depends on your tags, incest will net you some shekels
>>724296073Right now, femboys.
Based on my heavily unsubstantiated research.>Furries: Most saturated market but they have the deepest pockets, largest user base, basically run the IT sector. >Incest: Second biggest market, lots of ESL, more conservative than furries so woke pandering isn't as important.>NTR: Probably the next biggest market, lots of psychopaths, they're more than happy to drop the cash but do not engage with them.>Fart/Piss/Shitfags: Watch out for the ones that are into diaper shit, major red flags. The rest of them are pretty chill and just happy to be acknowledged.>Footfags: Incredibly snobby and believe they're hotshit because they think they have the most mainstream fetish but they're all fucking weirdos and somehow more disgusting than people who are into literal feces. Stingy assholes, not worth engaging with in my opinion.>Loli/Shotacons: Theoretically the largest user base but most will not admit it. Massive pirates, rarely support any projects despite always going on about their persecution complex and how no one is catering to them. Dangerous community mostly because you will encounter a lot of feds that will try planting real CP to extort you.
how much of a failure must I be to have made a furry game but get no fans
>>724307521Not really true, most popular patreon adult games and ones most pirated on f95 are overwhelmingly Sims 4 normie mods, sex simulators with character customization, and harem/incest games. From top 50 there's a few furry/futa games going strong too, but they're not dominating adult genre at all.
>>724307521furfags don't have this huge market fags make them out to have.Far more incest and NTR games out there than there furry games.
Give me a good WEG that let's me romance and sex MC's mom. I don't want a convoluted and forced story or a million other characters to care about
>>724307651Art was probably pretty shit.Straight or faggy, its gotta be decent enough to look at
>>724296576Grimdark Studios is doing surprisingly well considering how late he was in starting.https://graphtreon.com/creator/grimdarkstudiosThat guy has his shit together.
>>724307521Someone in /aco/ claimed to be a wegdev and said that the most dangerous demographic to cross was the vanilla harem crowd.https://desuarchive.org/aco/thread/7249851/#q7250612
>>724309629I don't even have to read too much to believe it.I've seen them on f9 having meltdowns if they think they are getting cucked.
>>724309629i mean, if you make a vanilla game and then add cuckshit to it, then you just lost your entire audience up to that point right there. it's no longer a vanilla game, it's an ntr fetish game.it's like if a furry game makes an update that removes all anthros, the furies will all turn on you at once. if you want to make a cuck game then make a cuck game from the start, not a year into the project.this is how it always has been, all the way back to the earliest days of eroge in the 90s with japs getting extremely pissed at ntr in their dating sims.
>>724309629The problem with them is that haremfags are extremely annoying and will always try to make games that have no or very light harem presence into a full blown guck everyone game. If the game specifies early that won't be the case then they won't do much outside the occasional question about it, but any attempt at drama that breaks the harem will hurt that game revenue considerably and those controversies are hard to let go, especially for those that make little, which is most of the devs.
