Recommending Gay Protagonist Games List

[nackedsnake]

What about BLits Games? The characters in their games like Camp Buddy are typically yaoi, but I think the writers and artists are men?

Camp Buddy is not YAOI, Those are twinks / boys, they are not feminised.
Not every none-bara is a YAOI.
All these terms are quite convoluted in English.

me still playing crave saga, cant play anymore bara game

That's a Japanese only Gacha game? Just like Another Eidos / Tokyo Summoner?

Only in otome(rarely are 18+ and yaoi(are mostly 18+)because the regular FMC porn games made by women are hardcore and they are mainly aimed at straight male players. This is why I avoid those but also the majority of them on this site are made by men and again, the target audience are straight male players. Female developers that make porn games for lesbian/straight/bisexual women are barely existent. Also, games for women made by gay developers are non existent which is a bummer.

Yeah female porno devs are quite rare, even more rare if they are not interested in M/M, or are interested in F/F.
I don't know how female functions, but I get the impression that in general they get way less gratification from porno games, and have way less sexual energy to put into making pron contents?
Like if there's a Lesbian game (that is made for female / lesbian), very likely there will be no fucking involved.

Otome/YAOI are made by female devs for Female audiences (just like straight male like to see lesbian porn)
There are some gay / bi like YAOI cuz it's still Dicks despite the game is feminised.

I don't think Gay devs will ever make porn games for (lesbian) women - being gay means not sexually interested in Female at all.
There are some gay games you can play as a faceless female and be fucked by all the hot guys. But that's for straights.

That said, have you tried Infinite Stars? I think it's a great game for straight women, and the story is also quite interesting.

Yes, thank you for answering.

Huh... I thought gay VNs that feature twinks/pretty boys were classified as yaoi, while ones that feature bears, chubs, etc are bara

I mean technically the Campu Buddy developers themselves call it a Yaoi game. Also idk if Camp Buddy has a gay adult audience? Most people who talk about it seem to be pretty young gays. Idk how anyone can be into a plot that revolves around kids/teenagers dating each other at summer camp.

They may look young, but if I remember from their bio, it seems like they're already at least nearing their young adult phase. It's probably a little bit confusing since they look younger than they actually are, and thus possibly can be mistaken for minors? But I don't know if we should talk about that here

Their next game Jock Studio seems to be a hybrid of yaoi and bara? If we're going by body type designs? I'm not entirely sure what's classified as yaoi or not, but from what I know yaoi is something like Camp Buddy, A Hand in the Darkness, Night and Day, etc. Heavily features petite, slim pretty boys

Bara is more about "by gay men for gay men", as opposed to Yaoi/BL which is "by women for women". It just so happens that gay men tend to prefer hypermasculinity and masc x masc, whereas women, while fetishizing gay men(these preferences may not apply to the men they date) usually prefer softer, pretty boy aesthetics and masc x fem or fem x fem.

Exceptions exist, of course. I mentioned Konohanaya a few posts above, a woman who calls herself a bara artist, and Camp Buddy claims to be a yaoi game even though it's made by gay men and has characters who are versatile/switches, which is rare in yaoi. The company's next game Jock Studio calls itself a gay dating simulator and has characters with defined sexualities(which is also rare in yaoi and something that Camp Buddy refused to do), while having the same art style as Camp Buddy. I think that's a good example of why using art style to label things as yaoi or bara doesn't always work, even if it does most of the time.

As I mentioned, these terms are all a mess in English, that's why so many stuff fall outside, confusing, and the definition is blurry as hell. (Like where does Twunk and Otter fall under?)
BTW, Pretty boy / Femboy is YAOI, but boy in general is not. Tons of gay men love young and smooth men, just not feminised.

All these terms are originated from Japan since they are Pioneers in this industry.

Bara (薔薇, which stands for Rose) / BL (Boy's Love) / YAOI (Which was actually a sub-cate which means it's more focused on sex) are originally the same thing, all those Feminised gay game "made for women".

in Japanese, the gay game "for gay men" are simply named "For men" (男性向), and whether it's muscular / bears /chubs / old / twink / young, it fell into the sub-category like the kink list we use. In fact, many game has all those sterotypes in one game.

For a long while English world just call any gay game YAOI, (Probably the reason why Campu Buddy devs call it Yaoi, depending on how early they are). Then as more and more gay male step into the space YAOI no longer cut it, that's where Bara emerges. But we still lack a more defined naming.

probably not in your region depends on the state you live in, since some catalogues are blocked in certain country and states, its available on erolabs, nutaku, and johren, there are apps on each platform version but its also playable on cloud via browser so you can play it even on PC
as for the money wise, indeed its kind of whaling hungry but you should be fine if you play it from D1 or you just don't aim for any and every limited guys, since on permanent you can farm them but yeah too grindy
however, the game is just different since they use pretty much well-known artists (in doujinshi circles) unlike other gacha games who only use 1 or 2 artist(s) and refuse to disclosed who the artists are, example like Crow, Draw2, Lunatique, Mentaiko, Shiba Yuji, Shigemaru, Torakitchen, Waku, Weakfish, zifu, also Im not familiar with prominent bara artists but apparently they are famous among bara community like Fujimoto GO, Gamubear, Goro Naoki, Jiraiya
and so on
other gacha games might also use several famous artists but they are mostly SFW only? so I just interested in the ero content xD

Bara (薔薇, which stands for Rose) / BL (Boy's Love) / YAOI (Which was actually a sub-cate which means it's more focused on sex) are originally the same thing, all those Feminised gay game "made for women".

It amuses me that google seems to disagree with you. Bara used to be derogatory for gay men but was reappropriated in the 60s by gay men. It fell out of use eventually but international audiences picked up the term when some forums started using it.

Apparently gay manga (gei komi) authors don't actually like it. But it's never meant the same as yaoi, a term that only appeared in the 70s and originally was a portmanteau of yama nashi, ochi nashi, imi nashi, which translates into "no climax, no point, no meaning". Basically, early work was all porn and no plot. Those tend to be feminised, made by and for woman. While bara tends to be made by and for gay guys and trend towards equal partnerships and more muscular guys.

I mean, this is just what google is saying, I recommend if people are interested to have a look themselves and come to their own conclusions rather than believing two randoms on the internet.

Equally amusing is the fact that you are jumping on people for using a term that 99.9% of people don't really care what the definition actually is when you are also the person who complains about people spamming and cluttering up boards with "spam".

Oh yeah it has Shota so probably be banned due to pedo stuff. Artist-wise IIRC it's the same situation as Another Edios.
Do you get actual sex scenes like in a porn dating sim, or just pictures?
I've already saw those heavily mosaic-ed pictures, no idea how much more you can get out of it by playing the grind-fest gacha.

 

[Yaoi_lover96]

Question is there a yaoi/gay manga here ?

 

[Pranav Patel]

Can anyone please provide Alpha brotherhood link...

If your looking for yaoi stuff to read i recommend checking out {bato.to} site. It contains a lot of uploaded manga and manhwa with all tags you can sort through via a filter. I personally read stuff there all the time. Mainly the manhwas as its more developed and entertaining than the mangas.

the shota content was censored as in there is no cg, so it shouldnt be because of that but lately some porn game just disappear from certain states due to the porn law
the cg scenes are scenes, you can say its like those VN? where you read the scenario and there are sequences of pictures
as for the gameplay, its a bit similar with FGO but you use a numbered usage of weapons for attacking

 

[nackedsnake]

Nope This site is games only.
If you are looking specifically for YAOI, there are tons of sites as these are way older than other stuff.

If you are looking for non-YAOI gay stuff:
myreadingmanga.info
e-hentai.org if you know what you are looking for.

As I mentioned before, YAOI / Bara / any other gay stuff are all messed together. So you need to use filters, not as convenient as pure YAOI sites.

Edit: There's another one in my bookmarks, Never used and no idea why it's there. But from first glance it's legit.
baramangaonline.com
