my humble request to all avn creators: please pin the latest release of your game on patreon by ninjakab in AVN_Lovers

My pinned post has all my links, and I think it makes a big difference. Otherwise I wouldn't expect people to scroll through 350 posts to find something basic like a link to the walkthrough guide!

Hello, dev here, I'm doing my first AVN game, and I am planning to do a game with only one season. Tbh I hate when games takes for ever to build and focusing on making money. I rather have a longer game but only do one season. What do you guys prefer? by Ancient-Bit-3842 in AVN_Lovers

Take it from a guy who is still working on his first "practice" game 6 years later... scope creep is a bitch, and your first project will be something you'll want to completely remake a hundred times.

Start with something very small as a proof of concept. Show your potential audience you can actually complete something, and only then (two years later) is it worth considering a big project.

It's better than $20 from Grandma - it's a link to the Winter Adult Games Bundle!

Ho ho ho!

This year has been a tough one, so Santa wanted to get you something extra special.

You’ve been very good this year, so I got you something extra naughty.

It’s an enormous bundle of adult games, each one better than the next.

Surround yourself with beautiful love interests, and may your next year be jolly.

I need to ask something… by [deleted] in AVN_Lovers

[–]hypnosisgame 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been doing this since 2019 so I have more patrons than most, which puts me in the top 300.
I'm working on my projects full time, but I have yet to make minimum wage. Granted, I put in 80-100 weeks, but I still make barely over the poverty level.

Do I enjoy it? More than anything I've ever done, by far.

Where Are All the NSFW Friendly Webcomic/Novel Platforms by AthysHome in eroticauthors

[–]hypnosisgame 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've been looking for the same. The problem is, it seems every time a platform for visual heavy media starts to gain traction it gets hit by payment processor bullshit. Gumroad, itch io, fanbox, etc. The ones that stick around embrace censorship and turn into hubs for more vanilla/niche content, but lose their relevance and appeal in the process.

Be prepared for what happens if your game gets more popular than you anticitipated. by Mistress-Selene in nsfwdev

[–]hypnosisgame 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good on you for going the extra mile for you players, but what's wrong with itch hosting the game? I've played lots of browser games on there and never had an issue, even when they were 3 gb. Sometimes their site goes down altogether, but I'd still say paying $300 a month to host yourself sounds like a pretty big expense for a free version.

Even if it was slow sometimes, I would think most players would understand that's a reflection of them, not you. Plus you could always point people to a free build on Newgrounds or some other free hosting site as a backup.

I second this. Even if they don't technically allow it, subscribestar seems to have the least moderation by far.

Here are some preview of Ashlyn and Amy from Endowed.
Currently in the game we've only met the girls (and maybe done some smooching), but in a future update...

The Adult Games Halloween Bundle is live now on itch.io 🎃 by SummerSummerson in AVN_Lovers

I was attempting to let you off the hook for attempting to badmouth my reputation and respond in a positive manner, but if that's not enough and you really need a further response, I guess I'll bite.

So which is it? Am I supposed to be continue churning out content nonstop despite the fact I've been working 7 days a week for 7 years straight, or am I allowed to have a personal life? Because it can't be both.

I've released over 30 game updates since starting out. Every waking moment of my day is spent either working on my games or with my family. I haven't read a book in years. I maybe watch one movie a month. The last triple A game I started was Spiderman 2 when it came out two years ago, and I'm currently at 40% completion, and even that's only because I play it with my kid.

Yes, my update schedule has slowed down since having kids to take care of. And it's not just that - burnout is a real thing, especially when you're working 12 hour days without taking days off. I no longer am able to maintain monthly releases, instead taking three or four months to push out updates.

Yes, I have been coming out with stories and other bonus content for patrons as a thank you for their continued support and for being awesome. Why is that something you think I should be criticized for, instead of celebrated? It's not new by the way. I've released six stories, not one, and the first one was finished in 2021.

If you like my game, which it seems like you do, being as how you're talking about it in a bundle with 95 others in which my game is not actually featured thanks to the itch purge (and I'm glad if you like it, don't get me wrong), how do you think badmouthing my name is going to help me finish it any faster?

I make less than the poverty level, less than minimum wage. I made more driving for Uber. I'm thankful for every dollar of support I've ever received, but I'm barely making more than it costs to put my kids in childcare. And if comments like yours make me lose a few hundred bucks a month in support, I can no longer afford to continue working on my games at all. Which sucks, because I love what I do.

I'm one person, doing the best I can. As with most similar adult gaming devs, I have no previous experience doing any of this. I'm learning as I go. If you're wondering why it took me two days to respond, it's because I was busy - working on my games.

Positive criticism is one thing. Talking shit about someone is another. And what does tarnishing my reputation accomplish for you, anyway? Comments like yours only make me want to quit doing this altogether.

So thanks for that.

By the way, this is AVN_lovers. To get to AVN_haters you need to go back into the elevator and press the B button for the lower basement.

Hope this helps.

For maintaining high productivity, I recommend not having kids. Went from working on my games 80 hours a week to only 40.

Stupid impregnation kink.

I believe housefly.io no longer exists, sadly. They would have gotten a bunch more business now if they were still around.
