Where are all of the yaoi hentai eroge? There’s basically nothing ever released that isn’t a visual novel- especially when you consider how many straight porn games come out every day. Imagine a David Cage game, but it’s a choose your own homoerotic gangbang.Why is this such an untapped market? Do other gay guys not like jacking it to interactive porn?
Gay men and women into watching men touching dicks aren't particularly profitable
+ Less profitable because it's easy to go out and have loose sex with almost any gay man. Meanwhile straight men can't get laid and straight women need to worry about pregnancy, social standing, and being murdered. So yeah that's why there isn't more.
>>3033234doubt this considering the number of gay furry animation shit there is, which is expensive
>>3033235>furryYou answered your own doubts, you can't legally or ethically have sex with animals in most places. Degenerate fetish shit is overpaid in comms for a reason.
>>3033239well yeah, a good portion paying for them are gay men as well, and they can’t fuck pokemon wrestler cat irl. however, even the more normal guys also scrambled to make porn and some animations of Lucas Lee, a generic looking bara anime dude. cooming to barashit is probably better than having sex with middle aged balding men who vastly outnumber “bara” like men irl
>>3033192The real answer to this regardless is that yaoi/BL is probably considered more degenerate than hetshit and seen as more risky, but yeah, it could be a potential untapped market considering how profitable BL and gay baiting can be. Fujos will be the ones to buy out these games in particular
>whines about vns>wants a david cage "game"this board is a joke
>>3033427>bitches and squirts herself making up enemies in her demented little headyou're a joke
>>3033192I agree. I wish there's non-visual, non-gacha and non-grinding gay games. I want an action adventure games with minimal role-playing and more interactive sex.
every yaoi game is either:long wind-up visual novel with 5 hours of story before any sex sceneshardcore smut bara-only with rapid onset sex and weird fetishes like furry or scatthere is no inbetween
>>3035086>long wind-up visual novel with 5 hours of story before any sex scenes>hardcore smut bara-only with rapid onset sex and weird fetishes like furry or scatIt's over...the only redeeming gay games that I played were gay furries despite I hate furries and repulsed by it or het games with good-looking male characters and game mechanics. I guess it'll be long for actual games will be made.
>>3033192we just gotta make do with nu carnival for now I guess
>>3036732Is that yaoi?
Alicesoft made a few gay porn games back in the early 2000s but I don't think there's any copies of them online
"Paradiso Guardian" seems promising but I haven't played it. It seems to be an action rpg with some sex scenes, and most importantly it's not a gatcha. Has someone played it? Is it good? I know beggars can't be choosers but still...>>3036732Nucarnival is hardly a game... I played it but dropped it after a while... The gameplay was really boring (turn based rpg battles that can be completed automatically) and the events were uselessly hard. The only redeeming feature of that game are the illustrations and outfit design, that were nice, and of course the sex scenes. They're quite good but unlocking them is a pain and they can be easily found online so I don't really recomend playing it...
>>3035086What would the in between even look like? Sounds like you just want sex in 2.5 hours instead of 5 hours.
>>3033192There's Abaddon, Princess of the Damned
we need a dmc style game in which you do air combos on twinks and femboys by hitting them with your dicj
>>3039375LMAO
>>3033192Time to game dev and make one anon.
>>3040704unfortunately, everyone treats yaoi/gay media as a joke. Or, they're quickly put off by how unsexy the anatomy of scene is and don't want to dissect it.
>>3040894> Or, they're quickly put off by how unsexy the anatomy of scene is and don't want to dissect it.Anatomy of the scene..?
>>3041669I'll try to adapt Baritachi by Draw-Two as an example. Writing for RPGs means writing player goals. >Talk to Npc, Go to location, Defeat enemy, ect...And that direction is woven into everything else>Character introduction, Setting, Plot It's easy to imagine Baritachi as an RPG because it starts out with a swordsman for hire that slays demons. He kills a demon. Someone tries to steal his sword while he's washing it's blood off. Sexual hijinks ensue. I like Draw-Two's work. They're generally around 50 pages. There's a nice balance of action and exposition. But there's a number of issues when adapting a comic like this into a game. First of all, like most porn, you got a lot nameless characters. You gotta name them. You got to have formal introductions >"By the way, call me... {NAME INPUT}"Depending on the scope of the game it also helps to name towns, kingdoms, continents, even planets and planes of existence. It's just lazy world building otherwise. Second, some of the exposition is in the form of the swordsman talking to himself. It's very common in comics for characters to voice opinions and stuff in caption boxes. But that's not really "the style" for RPGs because the expectation is to utilize NPCs.
>>3042093 (continued)The third issue, related to that last part, is the fact that this story happens all in one place. In an English style script, scenes are divide by location. So this would all be one scene. But the French school of thought is to divide scenes by characters existing/entering, marking a change in conversation. "English & French" is just old school theater playwright terminology. I think it just means England had big stages, and France had big cast of characters. Ideally, we'd have the swordsmen return to town after slaying a demon. Collect a bounty. Buy soap. Perhaps patterning a gameplay loop that would continue past the source material. It goes without saying you'll have to generate a lot more content to make an RPG experience. Going past the source material might mean inventing personalities and backstories besides "gay and horny". A lot of people don't like thinking about what happens the morning after a one-night stand. In this comic, the demon, who is manipulating the thief, conveniently shows up on it's own and is quickly dealt with. The intuitive logic for an RPG would be to find the demon's lair instead, and gradually build a bond between the swordsman and thief as they jump through hoops to get there. Based on the handful of gay RPGs that I've played, anal intercourse between male party members is saved for the end. But whether that's rewarding or not depends on presentation. The swordsmen here is basically a top, so maybe he bottoms at the end. Not the most emotional character arc. Or maybe he was always eager to do it and was just repeatedly interrupted by {plot advancement}. So when it finally happens, it feels like an ending. Escaping the try-fail cycle with a success or at least something different.
>>3042094I believe English and French scene construction is important to think about because an RPG is somewhere in the middle with a lot of characters and locations. The French style requires you to come up with ways to move the characters in and out. >Knock at the door. Delivery.>Oh no, my cookies are burning! Gotta go! The English style changes places as well as advances time. >Jan 14. 20XX 7am, Hall of Justice>Five Years Later>Meanwhile>Flashback. The flow of time in an RPG tends to be really fuzzy. Not the Persona and Atelier games; they're a life/dating Sim hybrid. They have a time management system. I digress. Time skips are convenient for developing relationships between characters offscreen instantly. Without actually explaining how that happened. >No. Fuck you!>3 weeks later>Fuck me! Yes!It's nice to give things time to happen in a natural way. But a French scene can also force characters to act out of the ordinary and in entertaining ways.>"I'm being followed. Pretend to be my boyfriend.">"What?">"Kiss me...NOW!"
>>3042099Thank you for the thoughtful discussion anon. I'm curious if there are hentai games that work within these constraints/subvert them, since you'd think most of the principles could be applied to yaoi games.
>>3042118Not all games have a narrative. There's lots of porn games that are just eye candy. >Walk into ogre>Trigger fucked by ogre animation. Games like that don't have a need for meaningful dialogue. Maybe you're familiar with the Humplex "Monthly Manfuls" flash games by Humbuged. There was no logic to the interactive choices. "Say: Hello" or "Touch: Bicep" meant the difference of a subject wearing a leopard print bikini or going commando. The OCs with the most personality were the ones from Humbuged's "Keric Komplex". But he never completed that story arc pasted Chapter 3.Gay games are cursed like that. I think it's a skill issue. I think most people can transcribe basic character information into a scene. But beyond that, they don't know how to develop a character through sexapades. I know it sounds absurd to ask how getting tentacle raped by a plant changes a character's relationship with their boyfriend. But that's narrative design. Because maybe it's overlapping with a similar incident where he was tied up and people failed to act. >"I won't fail you this time. Not again."> *fails* "I fucked up. I'm sorry. You must think I'm useless." I also think people form rigid character concepts in their head. So their characters are invulnerable power fantasies. They don't have childhoods. They don't have destinies. They don't have flaws or weakness. Or if they do, it's this forbidden secret that only top patreons are allowed to know, and it's not meant to be used as writing material. >Writer: Just between us, he can't swim. But that's never an issue. >Consultant: So just move the story to water so it can be.>Writer: How dare you! Don't you ever try to depower my character again. Or it can be the other way. Where a character is meant to be a loser and the writer is violently opposed to giving them any endearing qualities. >Consultant: What if...>Writer: He was made to suffer! He deserves nothing! Do not sympathize. Do not redeem.
With AI, I expected a flood of games with generated art. A bunch of communites were banning it a head of a "wave" that never happened. The ai art thread here is like 2 people.
>>3042147Narratives are nice. I think the reason I hate most VNs is that they're meet n' greet snorefests. The Player character goes somewhere: college, a campsite, a hotel/inn, a pub, a spa. Conveniently all these characters are there. And it's just a writing exercise in how many ways you can say "hello".
>>3042147Could a game like this be adapted into yaoi sex game?https://sigmasuccour.itch.io/false-narrative
>>3043274Why is agdg here lmaooo
maybe a remake of that rub rabbits ds game but gay? that would be nice, that was one of the first DS games I've ever played but was too young to realize it was some mature touch game
>>3043274I could absolutely go for a Mugen Train Arc that develops characters through a series of vignettes.In Demon Slayer they use a steam engine train as a stage for the fire and water fighting styles. Get it? Fire and water make steam.
>>3043342I don't have any ideas for character dynamics, but you could do some meta-story about "steam".
Speaking of steam, there's a bunch of gay VNs that showed up out of nowhere on it in the last couple years.
>>3043342>>3043343>>3042094I feel like this warrants further exploration. Indeed. By definition Y.A.O.I. is a vignette itself. In mangas, caption boxes often convey the p.o.v character's internal thoughts. Sometimes in the same panel as a thought bubble. >[My mind was saying no, but my body was saying yes]>{No!}>"Yes!"These are internal and visceral experiences. Which means no other characters can communicate that information unless they're psychic. So it's not an ideal format for a game, particularly rpgs. The character could be retelling the event to someone as a flashback. A frame story like that requires a listener and an reason to share. But that too is bad form for a video game. Many games have done it, of course. It's just, typically, gameplay is framed in the present moment. You could absolutely have sex scenes in a game as found footage. A sex tape, for example. But it probably wouldn't be interactive. Maybe if you're adjusting the tracking on an old VHS player? Or some fantasy logic that lets you step into the TV. >>3043274I was just thinking, the npcs don't tell you what kind of games this developer is making. But they could be really bad porn games. In which case, you wouldn't need character dynamics to justify the sex.
>>3043360Too bad 99% of WEGs are shit.
>>3043592As a scene writing exercise, I feel like that's cheating. A bit. Any scene can be used to frame a flashback, daydream, or whatever. >A trip to the grocery store>"Oh shit, I know that guy!" *Flashback*>Hide behind the deli counter >"Look at that bulge!" *Fantasize*>Hide behind DVD Rack>"Wait. There's a Bara Barge IV?! *Porno cast trailer*It's all hypodiegetic. Scenes within scenes. Anyone checking out "A trip to the store" might be disappointed nothing actually happens at the store. You know?
Does anyone have the link to the Skiff with all the Nu Carnival sex scenes? Looks like the main one got taken down.

Making an eroge is easy. The only requirement for it is to have sex scenes. Problem is the amount of games, mostly straight, that have sex after losing whatever gameplay mechanic the game is based around. Thus optimal gameplay means avoiding sex and like, what the fuck do you think we are here for? Then there's an amount of devs (and players) that insist that characters having sex with literally anyone besides the main character on any context counts as NTR.Devs that feature sex as reward for good gameplay are one step above, but still far beyond the ones that make sex directly part of the gameplay. Preferably if it isn't just "break free from sex" (I'll never forgive Monster Girl Quest for this, and a few other things)Let's brainstorm a little, how do you imagine (non-lethal) sexual combat between men? If it's turn-based (mostly to make it mechanically complex but still giving the player room to think), I would say something like different targetable body parts (like Fallout to give an example) that react different when touched, the ability to show off certain parts to mesmerize the opponent, breaths to avoid cumming, clench the ass with various intents. How does cumming (and in what location) affect if one or the other is the winner? Cumming handsfree is different from getting a handjob is different from doing it inside an ass and one or the other could be the dominant one that made it this way.

>>3047120I only played Matsuda's route cause it's the only one I was interested in. Sex scenes are hot, story is whatever.
>>3042093Tell me more, senpai. How should I begin my yaoi isekai rpg dream game?
>>3048154based, he's the only character who is atteactive and the sex scenes for him are good, his voice actor was great too. Its worth playing all the routes if you're interested in the different bad ends sexo scenes and the rest of the story. Unfortunately you have to play matsuda and mitsugi route and get the good ends to unlock takaras route. If you like light gore and rape this is pretty good, its hard to find many BL or Yaoi games sadly, especially ones that aren't VNs
>>3049170>light gorehow light
>>3050388Scrolled trough the images and I just saw someone get they neck sliced.
>>3038815>Paradiso GuardianTrying it out now. The gameplay feels really solid for porn game standards.
>>3050579>>3050388there's a cannibal aspect, some characters killing others with knives and axes, but you have to do multiple routes to see them and its not overly detailed. so fairly light
>>3050388In one of the bad ends there's Takra getting his eyes pierced out, but it's really not that gorey due to the art being mid and that's the only one I can really think of that they show.

The "bury your gays" trope has been around for 100 years now. The Hays Code only allowed gay characters be depicted as morally wicked, or punished, and otherwise be written as expendable. Subverting this is "preserve your gays". In which gay characters have plot armor and can't die. However without trope awareness, the constant violence (which the character survives) looks more and more like a hate crime than "progressive writing". Their suffering is perpetuated.
>>3052259Sometimes that violence is genre appropriate. Bara, for example, is a narrative about a character "blossoming" into their sexuality. Bara being Japanese for rose. Roses have thorns and narratives need conflict. If being gay wasn't a problem, then a story about a guy realizing he is gay would be about as interesting as a pothead seeing something profound in the mundane. While the name "Romance" might conjure sex positive thoughts. It's appeal, and true hallmark, are the extra-ordinary lives in which the characters live. Blackmail and rape don't happen to everyone, but they are intriguing. That's why some people love to play the victim and find an identity in their trauma.
>>3052259>>3052263What are you even going on about and what are those images?
>>3044648>https://mega.nz/folder/iUciCSJa#fP6psYcVnuzmmCchEdI6gALink is down sadly. Is there another link?
maybe it's just me as I prefer the guy in a game to be gay by being implied as gay instead of being straight up identified as one by cliche flags etc
>>3052840Same here, my man, but we are currently in the YAOI SEX GAMES thread, I think a dick in a guy's ass is closer to a cliche flag than an implication.
Every guy on screen doesn't have to be gay. Or fuckable. Sometimes gay characters have to be rejected and experience unrequited love. And not ever gay character is wearing pride badge. And not every gay character is into butt stuff>muh realism.
New game with a decent and pretty art style and sex cgs https://store.steampowered.com/app/1856210/The_Frozen_Kingdom/
does it exist?
>>3052929It's an erotic novel set in a video game world, I believe. The author, CB Archer, usually does his own cover illustrations, but used Rpg Maker resources for this one. Outside of the character portraits and a questionable world map, I see no evidence he ever made anything playable.
I'm actually surprised nobody mentioned Strange Flesh in here. It's a small game but definitely very nice.
Gay games I'm aware of that aren't furry or a VN:Clashing Rods: Fervent FrottingYou're a demon and have sex combat with other demons - as well as an angel - via frotting. Think there's only 4 opponents, so there's not much, but there's a certain novelty to it. Only free game on this list that has finished development.Lust Hunter Gay EditionSomething I've been meaning to play, but haven't yet. Supposed to be an RPG card battler. The Family's Curse and also Grizzly Grove are both sandbox twine games. Not sure if you'd consider them to be VNs or notIncubus Realms - EscapismA point and click adventure game that's been in development for 4 years and is still in alpha.

>>3042173I'm seeing a lot of hentai games using AI-generated images. But there's nothing out there for gay games. Even pixiv's category for AI-generated gay images is a surprisingly scarce 15 pages or so, with 90% of it being fanart of popular characters. Not a lot of OCs out there.

>>3062455The action RPG is a mix of Zelda 2 and this http://baragamer.com/2013/08/10/bara-game-see-no-evil/ A bit of interactive "cutscenes" like this http://tayferret.com/roux.php
The gay game landscape is looking bleak. The two big name RPGs were End of Dreams and Chin Chin Quest. To be fair, Funa (creator of ChinChin Quest) has developed a lot of mini games over the last 5-6 years. And lots if illustrations. But there's not a lot of progress being made on Chin Chin Quest 3. At the start of this year he began releasing Quest 3 in parts on this Fanbox. It's up to part 5 right now, which doesn't amount to much. Compared to the first 2 it's barely a game, and sorta meandering like he's making it up as he goes.
>>3063564Do people actually like porn rpgs? I don't get the novelty, if I have to do a bunch of work to get my dick hard between teases I end up losing interest.
>>3063564To recap, the first 2 games were basically an isekai fantasy world. 2 Quests related to 2 wishes granted by the genie character; leaving the 3rd wish yet to be asked.But Quest 3 starts out on modern earth, as a sort of reverse isekai plot. With the Swordsmen from the previous games appearing in (Japan?). The wish granting desire genie from the previous games is missing. So it's a mystery how the swordsmen appeared in this other world, but there's some kind of magical leak. There's a street drug going around turning guys into nymphomaniacs who meet up to fuck in a park at night. The drugs end up being concentrated magic that makes them horny then violent. It's connected to the missing genie somehow. I think in part 4, they visit the demon world, and similar to the park in the Human World, there's a "Pleasure Forest/Ruins" where demons go for kicks, but they come back more aggressive. I think the battle system is supposed to open up here but it's just a W.I.P. with nothing implemented. Besides taking out enemy HP, they have a desire gauge you can "break" using sexy skills. They meet this asshole dragon-man at this make-out point (or whatever you call it), but his powers don't work on the party because they're protected by the genie I guess. So he leaves. Then they go to a "Heaven world" and talk to God. Yes. Because genies work for god apparently. Don't ask me about the cosmology, I have no idea how any of this works. My impression is that it's similar to Dragon Ball Z's universe with some Christian-like inspiration, but it's hard to tell until I see more. The world building is kind of rough and the narrative up to this point is hard to follow. Anyways, the dragon-man was some kind of desire devourer. Or a minion/aspect of this ancient entity that's supposed to be sealed away in the Fantasy World. But he's breaking free. That's all I know.
>>3063565It's all nuanced and subjective. I don't think it has anything to do with porn, but instead, it's the psychological engagement of RPGs compared to Visual Novel narratives. You can see yourself in an RPG world, because you're running around in the context of open public-spaces and there's internal logic that could support you there whether you're conscious of that "sense" or not. While VNs follow much closer to a character's daily schedule and social life. A workplace and social clique is a smaller private affair you can only observe. It's sounds corny, but some authors call this "psychic distance" I don't need to explain how arousal is a natural sensation that porn appeals to. You get it. We all get it. It's harder to explain the sense of freedom and liberty that rpgs offer. Or even what makes it engaging in the first place. Except that it's sorta intuitive as a survival instinct. I would just call it immersion, but what you are immersed in is...is this holistic matrix of context entertained by your imagination. Society and civilization in general are also similar set of rules which we have presumably evolved and conformed our nature to. You see?Even women find yaoi appealing because because they can project themselves into intimate male relationships free of courtship rituals. That relationship is just another dominion to revel in.
>>3063748spot on. vn doesn't give the same experience as rpg where you're seeing what you're doing, while vn, you just pick a choice.
If anyone could make SHOTAxMONSTERS but with, you know, a subject matter different from the one mentioned in the title. It is some genuinely good gameplay.
>>3064550Pedofile
>>3064551I said I wanted it without the shotas
>>3064552You played a shota game, you’re a pdfile.
Daily reminder that "shotacon" is a transliteration of "short-eyes complex"; which is prison slang for child molester. Child molesters are not pedophiles in the traditional sense of an abnormal fondness for neonatal qualities. They simply assert dominance and leverage their authority to alleviate feelings of insecurity. That makes short-eyes the worst kind of human being, in prison. They're sociopaths that get off by holding people down. Possibly the force that creates criminal activity in the first place; like the white collar class exploiting the poor to keep them poor. It is completely opposite from Lolita Complex, where the child is the corrupt manipulator, asking sexual favors from the adult who willing debases themselves by giving in. As far as I'm aware, SHOTAxMONSTERS isn't categorically "shota" because there is no adult in the narrative. It is willful genre blindness by dumb english communities that don't actually read the narratives and only associate the name with the pictures. As if "shota" means "boy". Which is also "short sighted". If only we categorized media by demographics instead of contents. We don't. Unless you live in China. Where they ban the use of 2nd Person narration in adult fiction because it implies the the reader is content, and therefore potentially involving a child. Therefore "absolutely" child porn. There used to be an /ss/ manga image that was regularly posted a long long time ago when you could post anything. With a woman (a teacher I think) rimming a boy's asshole. Captioned was either a satire or bad faith quote of some politician saying the student should be punished for being sexually experienced. Either advocating to violate human-rights, or just characterizing the politician as an incel cuck like, "It should have been me".
>>3064553not really. I'm self-insert myself as the shota because that's how I feel, tiny and smoll.
I know that I shouldn't expect that much from games that often made by amateurs with nonexistent budget, but from playing ero RPGs, (including some furry, some straight), they frequently fall into the same pitfalls>only one player character at the timeI know this is to put the character as central focus, but it's very limiting for gameplay. Battles for one have to be very limited because it's very tedious when 3 enemies gang up on 1 person, over and over again.>point-build systemOften paired with the above, I know it's inspired by various old CRPGs, but those did it to allow for different builds across many playthroughs, and eroges don't tend to have that much variety (inside or outside of battle) to make it meaningfully different. You can often tell devs can't into balance so they leave that job to the players.>have ALL the fetishesGoo, tentacles, corruption, piss, it's like a legal requirement.Because devs insist on all enemies to be equaly capable of engaging in lewd activities, devs will either make a strangely limited enemy variety, or effectively engage in zoophilia. You don't have to seduce that wild dog and it doesn't have to rape you either.>default graphical assetslol. lmao. (license-free music tends to be fine though)What else?
>>3064644>have ALL the fetishesthis just waters down the quality of the rest desu, unless it's a multi-writer thing like CoC
>>3064644I know Robin Morningwood exists but I want a game like the original YagWorld Adventure without the grinding stuff to extend game hours and unlock items. https://www.comdotgame.com/play/yag-worlds-adventure-game
>>3064825This is actually quite nice. But it's short, you can do everything within an hour. How do you extend it without just making a WORDSWORDSWORDS VN or making an incredibly exponential "first screen has 3 choices, each which has 3 choices, each which has 3 choices..."?
>>3065260puzzles, item chains that you need to unlock by going back and fro, and (animated) sex scenes. maybe some dialogs for the lore. no stats grinding and heavily reliant on texts.

>>3065610That banner is repulsive. Mutts can't make good bara.
>>3063748I need more dev-talk like this. Lately I've been on a kick about "vulnerability". People don't like to say they're attracted or aroused by it. But it's a thing our brains pay attention to. It's subjective too. One person might think someone is really opening up to them, but for the other person it's just how you say hello. lol.
>>3066690There's also a social context. When reading a character's thoughts it should be understood that they are thinking to themselves. It's revealing characterization but in a non-social context. And then some games go in the completely opposite direction. Where it's 2 characters talking in a roundabout way, hinting that one character is gay. But they don't just say "You're gay." they say something like "You care for him, a lot." And there's always the interpretation that it's just a platonic friendship.
>>3066741>But they don't just say "You're gay." they say something like "You care for him, a lot."I absolutely despise this trope.
What's the general audience size for what would essentially/literally be a genderswapped version of Violated Heroine? Not exactly to 1:1 accuracy, but I can imagine it being much more possible to recreate a gay remix of that, even with my crude scripting skills. Plus it'd be an easier horny gap to cross than my other ideas like golfing or an FPS.
>>3067163Not nearly as popular for a male trap or bara audience and completely nonexistent for anything that'd appeal to fujoshi. If you're looking to make much of anything off of it I wouldn't hold your breath, rpgmaker porn is outdated as shit.
>>3067163it's fine as long as grinding stat is optional. I hate grinding.
>>3067163Most games are 1-player
>>3065610>that woke ass bannerit;s over
I'd like to make a sandbox-ish, corruption-themed gay game, where money's at a premium and you've got to do whatever you can to keep your head afloat. A pure run (with optional romances) would be difficult but possible, but you can also take shortcuts to get easier sleaze money at the cost of gradually corrupting yourself into an undignified, debauched, feminised slut. Programming it isn't much of a problem, but my writing probably isn't that stimulating, and artists are very expensive.

I'm suck at programming but ok at creating plots and drawing/animating frame by frame

>>3069901I prefer collab over hiring.
All the best gay/yaoi devs make porn VNs cause they know that guys don't want to have to slog through hours of bad gameplay mechanics just to fuck. In VNs you do nothing but talk to characters, and fuck em. Not like some fujo crap where you wine and dine a bishonen twink for hours just hold their hand.
>>3033192I actually have some interest in game development as a hobby. What kind of "sex games" are you interested in?Something involved like Rance? Something where you play games to unlock scenes like HunniePop? A "You fail, you get porn" type game like Mario or Flappy Bird but with smut? Princess Maker but horny boys? Something else?
The best kind of Yaoi sex game wouldn't be one...it'd be an ecchi game instead. Console ecchi series for straight guys like Senran Kagura and DoA actually have to focus on gameplay, and of course add tons of fanservice. I'd want a game like that but with hot guys.
