Do you think a porn game lost its aim when finally all your target become fuckable?

[F22232425]

Sometimes I just think how to make a game more playable.
Because once the potential female characters have been engaged in sexual relation with MC,
I suddenly lost the incentives to continue the game especially when the girls are the easy/horny type
where you can conquer without effort.

 

[Hadley]

Yes. Games should be like DMD and Haley where the Main-Target is unreachable for a very long time but you have the option for some "side-activities" while following the Story.

 

[baneini]

Sounds like that Jon Bon Jovi character in sex and the city.
Of course it's important to provide goals for the player and you can do that past having sex. Maybe anal sex, or convincing your wife to put on a furry suit are the next gameplay goals.

Yet at the same time, the game developer needs to try avoiding too much grind.

I don't think normal sex has to be the final goal, after this various fetishes could be introduced.
It would probably be a good idea to have the fetishes be optional though, as they would otherwise alienate some of the game's followers.

With Side-Activies I mean Romance-Stories with difference Girls. There is no grind in the Games I mentioned.

I don't think those would really work as goals unless you somehow make it a matter of life and death or something.

I think it depends on the game. If the game is a harem game, where the aim is to add as many women to your harem as possible, this is just what the game is meant to be.

If the game is primarily focused on the taboo of incest and the MC, after fucking his mother, sister and aunt in every way possible gets bored and starts to fuck every other woman in town, than the game has lost it's aim and gets boring.

However, if the game is focused on the taboo of incest and the MC fucks every woman in town BEFORE finally turning his mother into his sex slave, this is a viable way of telling that the MC already could have any other woman he wanted, so he needed the challenge to go for the ultimate taboo.

If a female character is meant to be a lesbian stealing women from the MC, making her available for straight sex, would be the most anticlimactic thing possible. So, IMHO there is no strict rule here.

 

[redknight00]

No.

A Harem game has more women to fuck.

A Corruption game is not complete until the girl has fucked the whole neighborhood and their dogs.

A Romance game needs a happy ending that doesn't necessarily coincide with sex.

 

[Adabelitoo]

No, for me the game just starts when you are able to have sex with the girl you want, and I am actually surprised to read this because I was thinking that most players just want sex scenes without caring about the context (or at least most of the vocals players). I usually see games in v0.03-4 without sex scenes and people usually complain about it.

I mean, I don't need the game to have sex scenes for it to be good but when it does has them it is when things start to get more interesting.

 

[megaplayboy10k]

Well, you can introduce new sex scenes with different positions, different kinks and different threesomes and foursomes. The challenge can be to do things to convert the diverse relationships into a stable harem, or to conquer some new obstacles to a more enduring arrangement.

Well, I think you need to introduce at least some sexual content or at least titillating(e.g., voyeuristic) content within the first few versions. Doesn't mean full blown intercourse. But some sexual interaction with at least a peripheral character is a good idea.

 

[anne O'nymous]

Not if the game have a real and interesting story. HopesGaming or Nottravis can let us bang all the girls in their next update, we will still continue to play their games because we want to know the end of the story.
Anyway, as DarthSeduction like to say, "sex isn't a reward", especially not one you'll have because you played the game until its end. It's something that happen during the game, but it shouldn't be its goal, nor the center of the story.

 

[Ataios]

I think it strongly depends on the relationship between the characters at the start of the game. The MC might be perfectly able to fuck his wife in the first scene of a game. He needs some effort to fuck his secretary. And only if meets some special condition, such as finding an old porn magazine will he be able to force his mother into sexual submission.

 

[Glad]

No? Maybe? It depends.
If the goal of the game a specific number of characters and the player has done that an the game is still going... something went wrong.
I've noticed two things in a lot of games:
1. Devs either forget to set a long term goal that the player moves towards, and the game is just "fuck everything" scene hunting game, or somewhere in the middle they forget about that goal and the game devolves into "fuck everything" scene hunting game. And said games can get boring and devolve into pure porn.
2. Devs forget(or don't know) about a neat writing "trick", which is that the character's "want" is not necessarily that character's "need". What they want might not in the end make them happy, but something else might. For example, MC wants to fuck 10/10 girl but he is nowhere near that attractive so he sets off on a "journey" to change himself and once he gets there he realizes that it wasn't worth it or that the journey itself changed him in a way that he either doesn't care anymore or he ruined his chances even more. Basically, storytelling.

The easiest example of a game losing its plot would probably be Chloe18, which starts with a defined goal of getting ready for the next cheerleader tryouts in two months and then... it just forgets about two months time limit and the vast majority of scenes have nothing at all to do with that goal and in no way connected to it or each other. Past certain point I just stopped caring which ruined the game for me.

You pinpointed this issue perfectly, and it's exactly why we picked a main goal that isn't relationship based. Rather, solving a murder. Regardless, I actually worry about falling into these cheap traps of dispoasble, fuckable characters. Do the developers go there because they get lazy, or do they see that's what moves the needle in regards to support?

 

[PTGames]

For me yes. I'm personally of the mind set that the goal is more rewarding if it's part of the story rather than just for the sake of it. I'm aiming for good story with sexual activities on the way, which hopefully will keep players interested and feeling rewarded enough for playing, without having sex straight at the beginning, as I personally enjoy games like that most.

That doesn't mean I can't enjoy games that throw sex at you from the get go. I think the key is having a good story that keeps people intrigued. I've played a few games where the story has been more interesting than the porn parts and they actually became secondary.

 

[Toko]

I dont care if you can have sex with every character in the game.

I'd kind of roll my eyes at it if you could have sex with all of them in the same play through, though.

But ultimately, what i want most is an interesting story and dialog. I want build up, not "Hi, I just met you, and this is crazy, but heres my dick, so lets fuck quick!"

I know its a hard balance to achieve for adult games, and I feel like many sacrifice that to appeal to the "I'm just here because i'm bored of pornhub" players.. Not that theres anything wrong with those types of players, but they shouldnt be the only players that get focused on, even if its easier to appeal to them.

 

[caLTD]

Objections are right

And

Please consider following.

Making games is hard... Especially we are building old school point click adventure. And thats genre is hard.

Most of us does not have previous game building experience.
Also most of us does not have secure income to spend lots of time to design a game.

Better things requires time

My best regards.
