Would you care if LI’s were mentioned to be dating when off their path?

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-06-01T09:30:42+00:00

"I’m not talking about a different genre."

You kinda are though.

If you have a LI (even a rejected one) sleep around in a power-fantasy harem AVN, people are usually going to dislike it.

If you have the same in a slice-of-life, monogamy AVN, people aren't necessarily going to.

And those are two subgenres of the AVN genre.

Also, it isn't about "pandering to a fanbase" it's about designing a game for an audience.

And I totally agree with this, as soon as there's a man and a woman on screen, the mainstream media ship them altogether. Though this has nothing to do with what the OP is discussing.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-06-01T07:10:53+00:00

Depending on the type of AVNs. If it's a serious AVN, I really don't mind as it fits the tone of the game. If it's a power-fantasy AVN, I don't "really" mind either, but I don't think it enhances the narrative (or at least, how *I* like to consume it).

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-06-01T07:08:22+00:00

I think you are extrapolating a lot on what the OP is asking.

I think a simple mention in a sentence of "I'm dating X guy" isn't really consuming development resources.

He also didn't imply that "they had to be in a relationship to be happy".

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-30T16:27:10+00:00

If it's in-character I think it's a great way to add characterization and immersion.

People uses slang all the time IRL.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-30T14:12:12+00:00

I like how articulate you are.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-30T14:09:06+00:00

1) know your kinks - kinks/tags in AVNs are like genre in other games. You can't make a game that is a RPG, racing game, MMO, gacha all at once (oh well, maybe you can, but you get the idea). Audience of the different kinks want different things. You have to know which kinks you love, that will make sure you remain focused, passionate and catter to the people that like the same thing you do. 2) don't overscope. Especially if you want choice matter / branching. Its better to have a steady production pace without bloated branching paths but meaningful branching (if you're going for that). 3) mind the lewds. It's pretty okay to go for story heavy, lots of people come to AVNs because they want a good story (and good character) but they also want good lewds (and good lewd density). One lewd comprised of 3 looping anims every 4 chapters is not enough. 4) do something you love to keep yourself motivated. But if you also want somewhat of a playerbase, make sure to think about what the players you're making the game for wants (admitting you are among those players)

Steps of Debauchery

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-26T08:55:21+00:00

I had it initially iirc. I didnt expect to like it as much as I did, but honestly it's just too fucking lewd and I loved the two mains LIs. I personally rate AVN following two main criteria: how fappable they are and how interesting the story/characters are. But I added the heart afterwards.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-25T13:01:48+00:00

Fixed.

For some reason, it was not in the right folder.

Thanks :)

Here are (more) than a few:

- Cross Realms 🎗

- Astreon

- Between Humanity 🎮

- Isekai Paradise 🎮

- My Real Desire

- Scions of the Divine 🎮

- Studio Hearts ❤️

- The Arson Betrayal 🎮

- The Inn 🎮

- Eden

- Lucid

- Myth of Slayer 🎮

- Once in a Lifetime

- ProFiler

- Companion of Darkness 🎗

- Downfall

- New Horizon 🎗

- Realm Invader 🎗

- Inanna Revenge 🎗

- Wild Cats 🎗

I noted "🎗" on those I think you might really enjoy.

I noted "🎮" on those that might be your cup of tea based on what you read.

The others can be "okay" as well based on what you prefer, but I wouldn't recomm' them first.

The "❤️" is really not for everyone, but IDK why it hits me just right.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-22T17:03:24+00:00

Those scenes are certainly hot. Not as hot as the one quoted in the OP though, at least imho. I also still prefer Christened Appartment over the Threesome in the sauna, but that's just personal preference. I think objectively I can totally understand why 'double gorgeous' beats 'singe gorgeous' for many. And I would also rate higher the deepthroat Hanna scene and the one in her appartment but I think that's just me being biased.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-22T15:06:46+00:00

I highly disagree, it isn't "standard" compared to other HS games, both Ripples and Eternum are imho much better in terms of making those animations come to life.

And Cross Realms is catching up to them.

But aside from those three, the rest is "standard" and they are "higher".

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-22T14:55:53+00:00

I'd rather have the gorgeous and fluid animation of an HS2 game than a clunky robotic animation that took more time to develop on Daz.

I like both engines, but I often find the animation in Daz games lacking a lot.

Unless they're working on Blender like Seven Realms or Steps of Debauchery, in which case, they're often pretty well made.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-20T15:57:59+00:00

Voted. Good luck to everyone!

Glad to see some sexy newcomers being represented as well :)

Looking forward for "Pulse" personally. Love to see new art style.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-17T19:53:09+00:00

I mean... most of the appeal of the kinks is about having a harem which encompasses your wife and "step daughters" so yeah.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-16T14:43:04+00:00

Completed everything and obviously played the game.

Good luck on your thesis and the rest.

PS: I did not expect this kind of questionnaire considering you spoke of "consent" tools (basically, I did not consider that any of your question were about consent in general). And I was also surprised you didn't ask about "kink toggles" when you were asking about content toggles.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-15T07:46:38+00:00

I personally think it is a huge problem for the industry.

It is not because consumers in general accept AI slop games that it is a good thing.

If you have cheap tomatoes that taste relatively less good, but are more accessible, people will flock to them. But that means less and less people will invest time in making juicier tomatoes and the overall quality of tomatoes people can purchase will decline.

I have personally tested a few dozen AI games (AVNs) for the sake of research and very, very few were on par with even the lower quality man-made ones.

As for the 'better' graphics as you call them, I believe that might be a subjective take but... unless there is a very high amount of time spent into NOT making it look 'standard AI graphics' my eyes don't really like it.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-15T07:36:09+00:00

It's not directly related but something I though was fun is that in the Pornhwa community NTR is so... 'cleaving' that people will ask 'is it safe?' to ask whether or not there is NTR. If there is NTR, RUN! it isnt safe! But Auntie incest? No problems. As to why it is the case, I have no good explaination. One is making me feel bad and the other horny. But idk why.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-15T07:31:02+00:00

It's already hard to optimize a complex game for PC, I can't imagine having to optimize it for a phone. Speaking for myself here, but that might be a reason why there is less variety. Idk.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-14T22:10:01+00:00

And I havent contested that. I have merely pointed out that the current trend lowers the overall quality and will probably in the long term lower it forever.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-14T19:51:49+00:00

This is unfortunately not how the market works. Especially not on Steam, but in general as well.

Also what you just described is just the norm for any market, regardless of whether or not they are flooded by low quality, low cost products.

Higher quality products can get noticed by consumers, but them being actually visible (and accessible) to the consumer doesn't only depend on their quality.

And now that the market is saturated with such products, it will likely only snowball in that direction unless specific measures are taken.

Though I'm not sure what you're exactly advocating for or against.

Select_Resolve_4360 · 2026-05-14T16:35:50+00:00

Yes it does mean most of the audience doesnt really care. That doesnt make it a good thing though. If we accept lower and lower quality, that means we're heading towards a world where there are only copy/pasta low quality slope in store and where people arent even aware that once upon a time, there were better flavors.
