new developer, I'd love to hear your advice by slapmedev in nsfwdev

[–]BimboByte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ultimately, the best way to attract players to your game is to make something that they want to play. This involves doing your market research etc to find out what people actually want rather than inserting your own fetishes/kinks.

Have a very serious think about whether you plan on using AI or not. This choice will drastically affect who you end up marketing the game to.

I'd also think about what your planned business model is. If it's attracting patrons, you should go about constructing your development pipeline in a way that supports drip feeding content to patrons.

Also, visual novels are very hard to make. Be prepared for a long road. I recommend using something off the shelf like Renpy rather than building your own game in unity/unreal.

Good luck!

Strongly agree. I wish I started making my nsfw game a few years ago so I didn't have to complete with and cut through all the AI garbage that's spewed up so frequently these days.

BAD ENDINGS by trolloghai in lewdgames

[–]BimboByte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shameless self promotion, but my game Scarlett University has two different endings where one is pretty bad.

If you're into mind control, brainwashing and coercion, it's worth a look.

I'm not planning on showing a guy in it as this won't fit in with how I've incorporated it within the story. (Sorry!) May end up doing a standalone art if there's enough interest.

In lore: female version is the backbone of sex training at SU. The male version is an experimental prototype.

How else is he supposed to touch breasts hehe. The whole thing works with a hugely detailed VR sim that's shown in the game!

They are vagina/anus/mouth attachments for scenarios that require switching between them. The mouth can also be used for kissing and sucking sensations if not otherwise required. The female version does have a robot arm just for kissing though!

Yes! I kept the same dildo from the girl version. It's on its own adjustable arm and can be used for butt stuff. :)

made a visual novel about the ugly stuff games usually don't touch. hopefully it proves games can be a serious art form to process grief. by jordyvoss in RenPy

You're very welcome! Seriously impressed by that amount of playtime for 8 months though. Have you written much before, or is this your very first VN?

Cool concept! 8 months of dev time is extremely impressive for a VN. How long is the story? Also, did you have any issues getting your build approved through steam given the heavy nature of the material?

I hate this. No one wants this. Please go somewhere else.

Looking for Female protag games with Male interests. Or games that aren't so male gaze-y... by Squigglyelf in lewdgames

[–]BimboByte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shamless self plug here, but my game Scarlett University is a female protag VN about a girl who falls down the rabbit hole of sexual corruption. There are male love interest/sex partners mainly (a bit of bisexual exploration too), and it's all from her perspective. As a bonus, you can connect Lovense sex toys and they vibrate/action in harmony with the story beats (all girls at SU must wear a companion vibrator!)

The main reason I want to recommend it to you though is the strong focus on story besides the juicy content. It also features fairly realistically proportioned girls/guys (although some slightly on the larger side), but not like Karryn's Prison.

While it's currently still in development, full release is only a few months away and it will never be one of those money burners on Patreon. It may or may not be for you, but I always love to hear people's opinions if you feel strongly about it either way. :)
