I would like to know what genres the audience of erotic games prefers in 2021. Let this be a message to the developers what events to add to their games and in what percentage. Select up to 6 items out of 10.

mlt sorry

It's interesting to see that 2 (apparently) opposing genres (Corruption and Romance) are leading.

From the list, I choose romance and BDSM. In fact, I'm going to include both of them on my game (If I ever get past of the intro passage lol)

Do they necessarily have to be opposing? I've never seen or heard of a game that does both at the same time successfully, but I'm sure it is possible. Maybe a game like Uni by Hizor, it has both corruption and romance elements though I haven't played much of it so I'm not sure. Also a game that can implement them both is destined to go far. Maybe have the mc get corrupted by a love interest during their romance, maybe they have a secret fetish(like slave play, rough sex, ntr, etc), or maybe they are female and are slutty and turn the mc into a slut or a slut mc corrupts them into a slut...
Wait, I think I just described good girl gone bad(though in my personal opinion it's weaker on the romance side)

Lesbian. If it comes along with BDSM, domination, corruption, incest or harem, it's fine. Lesbian is ok with romance too, but in that case, it shouldn't have the other traits.

Romance and BDSM goes very well together, for the right story; just look at . Not bad for some Twilight Fanfiction.

Give me a romantic harem with a corruption/seduction element that actually handles the poly aspects of the harem well and i'm sold to be honest.

Incest isn't a must anymore, if the game is good in it's own right then i'll try it anyway.

BDSM, dominance and corruption can easily go too far in a game, personally a little of all three is better than a lot of one IMO.

I'm going to break with the convention of either hating or loving NTR and say it's just boring, it's often written very badly and hasn't spent the time to get the player emotionally involved in the girl getting stolen, NTR bad ends for games works for me, whole games focussed on NTR don't, similar story with cheating oriented games.

Trans is tough to judge, if by trans you're thinking Futa, then we all know you've got a solid audience.

Finally as for voyeurism, i'm not sold that you'd be able to make a game sufficiently interesting that heavily rellies on this fetish, it's a nice element in a broader game, especially in a corruption game in which you can use voyeurism and exhibitionism to disinhibit a character but outside of it's use to further another goal i don't think voyeurism and exhibitionism can stand on their own like other fetishes can, great "support fetishes" though.

if possible, have the moderator replace trans with LGBT

survey time - 3 months, I would like statistics of 1000+ people

Trans as a genre or kink is a very different thing than what LGBT stands for.

I'm surprised that Romance ranks so highly. But I guess my question would be, what does that mean to you in the frame of a porn game? Is your character persuing a woman with the intention to enter into a permanent, exclusive relationship? Or can that mean that the MC is kind and loving to a bunch of different women that he's trying to fuck?

I have no interest in the first one in this setting. That's what real life is for, for me.

The second, absolutely!

This poll gives me lots of confidence!
Wow a harem where theres love/romance, corruption and landladies/roommates. With a touch of deviant fetishes and mystery. Seems like a winning combo which is exactly what I'm trying to achieve with my game. So i think I've dived into the right pool! But the problem is you might drown...

The difficulty is in the execution. Not so easy to hit the sweet spot as i've discovered.

Is corruption necessarily like a forceful, bad thing? Or could it be like "corruption" where you're making a girl explore her sexuality and become kinkier in a voluntary, beneficial way? Because that doesn't sound incompatible to me.

It could be possible, but realistically, if we look at the romance games we have and the corruption games, they are one type or the other (and if the game offers both, it's often as a "love path" vs a "corruption path").
