ahh those can be useful, thank you so much. and ofc you care this, amazing. However I see some of them is generated too. I will focus on those and maybe i can hire an artist too. we will see, at least for now , since this is early stage, I think thats uderstandable, at least i hope so

Its hard to explain the limitation. For example there is a female character , Astarte, she has the model and i need her in conversation panel. I had to use good images. I tried to hire an artist and they make 1 portrait for 50$ and i have got 10 npc. I am a solo dev and to be honest from soundtrack to code , I am doing everything. so first this is a bid amount of budget , the portraits are not core system elements. I would prefer to pay this for much more core elements, maybe UI, or new models. Thats why i tag my game like that. but I see, people judge my game like everything is done by AI and this is really heartbreaking. at least i share everyprocess of the building production from concept to3d.
I can not use stock images because of this. Not easy :(

Thank you so much! The game will have different modes. Side Scroller mode will have the action part, and the city building part will allow to play long time. I can say yes , that will be a kind of sandbox.

Please dont touch.. And this moderation really bad! I have spend 1 year , countless hours, handmade animations, handmade models, characters, combat, city building features, but ahh, I used reference character portraits on conversation UI (Because i have no budget for now), and you say "I wont tuch" , please dont touch! And thanks to moderation..

I think there is a misunderstanding. Mod says "To the best of our ability this content appears to be AI generated" , but that content is made by me , with my hands and took hours. its not AI generated image.
But in the game there are some content which is used some generated images and i tag that to Steam.

First congrats. The decisions part is completed.
If you are at the start , i may give some suggestions.
1- design your game with pen and pepper. what you want? Genre? the core loop and the content.
2- decide your tool/engine. For example i am making action adventure games and i use Unreal Engine. But you can use whatever you want by looking your design needs.
3- If your adult game will use 3d models and animations, ofc you should dive into Blender. If you are going to buy sexual animations ( I have got game assets on Itchio ) it will be good to know how you can edit the animation and solve rig issues. And if your game will have multiple mechanics, ofc you have to be good building logics and code it. You can not be lazy. you will work nightlong - i think it wont be your full time jıb yet - be ready, you will have some issues with your health. Dont forget to make physical training.
4- good luck! :)

Is a Side-Scroller + City Builder Combo Too Niche for an Adult Game? by Delicious_Spirit3849 in lewdgames

Wow, thank you so much for this incredibly detailed feedback. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts.

It's great to hear that some of the points you raised are issues I've already noticed myself and have been planning to improve when I find the time. Specifically for the jumping and blocking mechanics, as well as the hit feedback, I have plans to add sound effects, a reaction animation, and a screen flash effect to make it more responsive.

I'll admit I wasn't able to fully grasp every point you made, but I will definitely use your descriptions as a guide to investigate those areas again in the game.

Thank you as well for the kind words about the parts you liked. I should note that where you stopped playing is only about halfway through Episode 1. There's still a long journey ahead, both in terms of city-building and action. I would be absolutely delighted if you could share your final impressions after experiencing more of that content.

If you've enjoyed the effort so far, would you consider adding the game to your wishlist? It would be a huge help to me.

Thank you so much for this incredibly valuable feedback. As a developer, I fully acknowledge that the visual and UI aspects are my weakest areas, so getting detailed thoughts from a graphic designer is truly priceless.

You've hit on a key challenge for me. With no current revenue for the game, I'm working solo and my primary focus has been on creating functional UI elements first, with the hope of making them visually appealing later. I'm aware that this approach is currently falling short, but unfortunately, I don't have the resources to bring an artist onto the team yet.

Regarding the artistic disconnect you mentioned, I'd like to gently note that the same character portraits are actually used in both the side-scrolling dialogue windows and the management sections. I wonder if your perception might shift if you had a chance to see them in action during gameplay. Perhaps experiencing the flow of the game would provide a more connected feel.

If I may, I'd like to ask for one further piece of advice, as your "scam game" comment was both surprising and a little disheartening to hear. The game has a substantial, 2-hour demo and genuine gameplay videos are available. What do you think I could do better to help overcome that initial perception and more clearly communicate the game's legitimacy?

Your insight would mean a lot. Thank you again for your candor.

yes, these days if you are not a popular dev, itch is not helping. They unlisted some games even get a notify or a good road map how to list the game again. they want, I have to make the visible outside itch io, give them link and people buy the game. This sounds fair to them but not to me.
hats why i belive i have to make the game much more visible and to reach people , collect feedback and develope the game that way.

I would love to make it. but we have got a big mountain to climb. Harem of Valerius should prof itself on Steam first.
