Hard disagree. Voice acting is often one of the hottest things to me. Like, I probably wouldn't have given Snow Daze the time of day if it wasn't voiced.

Quality definitely plays a role, yeah, but that's true of everything. I think it'd be super hot to know what kind of voice Lin has, especially if it's well-done.

I'm neutral on sound effects, I guess it's okay provided they don't sound like they came out of a free library from 30 years ago. Same for voice acting, but this one's probably out of the question until the script is close to being finalized.

What I'd like, however, is having more ambient sound aside from the same 3 music loops that we have now. Things like the cafe having an actual cafe ambience track, or the few events that happen in the city featuring traffic sounds and other people doing their own thing in the distance. If our bar has its own BGM, then a place like the Bunbun Brothel should have theirs too.

Runey doesn't need to go all out and have a soundtrack for every single ambient, but I feel it's a pretty obvious addition to certain recurring ones.

The only sounds I would want would be something like a small tick to show that I clicked on a button or something. Anything more than that, and I will go back to muting everything again.
Most porn game sounds are awful, and take me out of the game, make me want to stop playing (and voices are the worst).
The first thing I do when i load up a new VN is mute the sound and load up spotify im ngl

I like grunts and moans during sex. That's great. But I never, ever want actual voice acting in a porn game. Its always worse than just reading.

I don't have Spotify, but I have MPC-HC and a lot of music files I ripped from CDs if I want music. lol
The worst is when there is sound before the options so you can turn them down.

Nothing worse than having generic rock music blasted down your ears at 100% volume before you change anything

I played one VN recently, i can't remember which one, but it defaulted the sound to like 20%, that was a nice change

My main problem with voice acting is that I read a lot faster than people speak, so I'm either waiting for the voice line to finish in order to move on to the next line, or I'm moving forward at my reading speed and only hearing a brief fragment of each voice line as I go, which is more than a little distracting...

I do that too, but it's still nice to hear their voice.

I strongly disagree. It's usually awful because small projects rarely have the budget to get quality VAs (and most good VAs won't do porn).
Besides, who wants other people to hear that you are playing porn games?
I don't believe he was even talking about porn games though. I literally only know 2 games that have actual dialogue on f95 zone, and one of them is FoW, which isn't a small project. The other games are just moans and junk. I like those too, but it depends.

Look, voice acting for games of this size is always going to be a double edged sword.

Money is always going to be factor.

"You got a VA for next to nothing?" Yeah, that should tell you what kind of quality you're going to get.

Yeah, and most of those moans are terrible.

I only know of 2 small ones that do it well, and even then, I don't want to hear it.

Either way, there is so much content here, that even adding moans would be an enormous undertaking. Actual voice acting would seriously increase the size too.
