I appreciate these new suggestions I'll definitely try these out. At the time I originally posted this thread I was inquiring about Landlady/Roommate type games with a black mc and a black Landlady/Roommate of which I have yet to see.

I'm a big fan of all the devs and appreciate all the work they put in to these games, I was wondering if there are any games with a black mc because as a black man myself it's always weird naming my white characters my very African name lol.
There are some, and it's kind of sad we don't see more though... It might be there are not enough black male/female developers working on these things? If I had to guess...

I've seen lots of black supporting characters, but really not that many black Protagonists, male or female...

I'd hazard that white MCs are also generally a safer choice - if you're expecting some ROI from your work, anyway. There are still quite a few people who don't want to play a black character, while most of the world has been conditioned to easily play a white character, regardless of their own ethnicity.

This is likely the most logical explanation to why there isn't too many of these games. Race doesn't even bother me, I don't mind being white or asian or whatever but it's nice to have a little variety.

There was a whole mini-scandal in porn when Jenna Jameson explained why she didn't do scenes with black men...because white fans would be "turned off" by seeing her with black guys. There's some sub-set of white porn viewers who have issues with seeing their "favorite" porn stars with black dudes(and another subset who want to see them fucked by BBC...go figure).

Yeah, that was a bit of an open secret with popular performers like Jenna and Tera Patrick.

Like you said, I've seen threads on forums with a constantly updated list of women in porn who haven't performed with black men, because OP straight-up admitted he didn't find a woman hot anymore after he knew she'd been with a brother.

And on the other side, interracial forums have the same list as a sort of 'dodger hall of shame', with each notable name that gets crossed off being an event. Of course, the complaint is that a lot of them cross over only when they're past their prime and have already milked their 'whites only' crowd as much as they can.

They must be all old guys watching the 90's porn stars that are still hanging around, that mentality doesn't seem to be here with the later generations, the most searched porn stars in the tops 10 (obviously still in their prime if they're in the top 10 most searched) have all either done IR or regularly do IR scenes. A lot of new comers in recent years that went on to become top performers didn't hold off either, a lot did IR scenes almost from the get go. Good to see that old mentality leaving the industry.

So true, look how raggedy Jesse Jane looked in her "comeback" with her first IR scene. I didn't even want to give her a pity fap.

It's a far cry from landlord themes, but my game Carnal Coup has a few different ethnicity options during the intro. Okay, technically you're an alien picking a human disguise. But your second in command is also black, and a human, so there's that.

Black mc does not pay ...
Spend some time in the adult industry as a designer. It's a business ... aaaAAAand not paying - not getting.
Adult games simply inherit this fact.

Funny how those "most searched", "top stars" and other shit stats like that means absolutely nothing :)

It means exactly what DerangedAristocrat claimed, which is that appearing in interracial scenes doesn't appear to tank a porn actress' career like it would a few decades ago.

That's a separate discussion from black MC being a hard sell financially, which we already agreed upon.

Because it's never normal fucking, it's always RACE amplified. Yeah WHITE girl, take that BLACK DICK, get Blacked, ruined for white boys, black only, payback, reparations, talking shit on white men vs black men. There's basically no IR porn out there that's black on white where that isn't the case. If a black dude is fucking a white chick he's talking shit and running his mouth. There's never a reverse case because studios are a bunch of pussies. Even Ghetto Gaggers are quiet on race part. If I wanted someone to piss on me I'd have done it on my own

We were talking about the porn industry in this part of the thread and about the women stars in the industry doing IR, the point I made fit exactly what we were talking about, nobody or I mentioned male MC or even games in relation to this point, you've jumped to conclusions there trying to link the 2.

I didn't jump to anything ... it was just my 2 cents a little bit outside of the topic.
IR porn is done only for the idea of IR ... when someone from the industry shows me otherwise ... maybe there will be argument for that ...

On topic ... I don't know if there is games with black guys ... i think black mc will never make money or will be viable for a porn game.

If someone with enough passion comes along and creates a blockbuster hit with a black mc, and it gains a lot of patrons, you can bet we'll see other devs follow that new trend like how they did with the incest craze. You can't get the next big thing without taking a chance on a new concept. Yea sure there's no guarantee it will make money but the opposite is also a possibility.

You don't seem to understand how these things work, changing the characters race is not some new idea that people will warm up to. People have a preference for characters of their own race, especially with wish fulfillment, it's marketing 101.

As sex games are something white virtue signalers don't care for and I think it's safe to say that Asian and white guys prefer their own, the only real way for consistent black characters is for black people to pay for it.

It's true that IR porn predominantly uses raceplay (and usually quite clumsily), although I've noticed that there are a lot more high-quality interracial scenes in recent times where they mostly drop that aspect and stick to the sex. Or at least there are studios that don't make it their sole focus, which is some progress. I guess with volume comes variety. If interracial porn is only ghettoised, then they're going to stick to what they know will sell to their niche (ie, raceplay), but if it becomes accepted as regular porn, then that treatment is going to end up diluted.

For what it's worth, there are a number of porn viewers from all races who'd like them to drop the racial aspect and just treat it like regular porn, but I guess it'll take a while longer for that to be commonplace.

Also, pretty sure I've seen a few interracial scenes with black female performers running their mouth off (think it was Diamond Jackson), and if I'm being honest, they were hilariously fun.
