I have been a Unity developer for 8 years and would like to delve deeper into this hentai universe. What would be a good way to start? I'll make a small team with some artists, but at start, I do not have a lot of budget, but enough to pay for sounds and some animations/illustrations.

Do you have any tips on how to monetize this beginning? If you are a developer, are you aware of the challenges?

I see many successful Patreons here, and that many games are promoted on this platform. I notice that this site is a good place to grow a game community, but are there other places besides this? Should I focus the community of game here?

Actually, I'd like some general tips on how to survive with hentai games. Thank you.

This isn't necessarily advice you need in your early beginnings, but as soon as you start getting traction with a game and people sound their opinions on it, try to acknowledge them from a neutral point of view. Porn games attract degeneracy and those type of people don't give 2 fucks about how they word their opinions. 9/10 times their opinions are pure bs as well, so having a good mental filter for that is very important in the long run of your developments. Lots of devs on this site who end up burning out from the pressure of these idiots. This is definitely the best site to create a community for your game, so being able to use it's positives and look past the negatives is a must.

I have 0 clue about the actual development aspects of these games, so I can't help you with that. I'm interested in making my own game in the future, but since I'm a noob at literally everything that comes with development, that's still just a fantasy. Good luck on your dev adventure! I hope to one day bump into your works. :)

My top tips would be to ...

1. Start with doing a small game, just to see what it's like.
2. Mentally prepare yourself for not earning much. If you're buying art, I'd even say prepare yourself for a loss. There's certainly games that make a lot of money. Very, very few of them are first time devs and in their first year. Pretty much all of the good earners are years into development and/or have games behind them that made less than they're making now. You might be different, who knows :)
3. This site has, imho, the best community for this kind of thing. It can still be difficult to get feedback. You can make a discord too and hope some early fans pop in to chat.

As for hentai specifically, no clue :)

You're 100% right. It's very hard for me to keep consistency up when learning new things. It's gonna take a while, but I'm sure I'll have a game out on this platform one day.

Only a droplet in a sea of unsuccessful, abandoned and closed ones.
If you are considering this only because you think it's easy and quick money, do not even bother wasting your time.

What would you say are the most crucial deciding factors for what makes a game successful?

I do not know about Instagram, but twitter is pretty big for advertisement. Lots of Adult game devs are there advertising their games, such as
