and the game is properly marketed
I think it's the most tricky part how to marketing this lesbian games. :(

If you trying to make something unusual (still lesbian) many people just passing by and didn't paying attention. And in such narrow niche like lesbian it's mean almost insta-death for the project.

upd. And in some exact time lesbian niche demanding from dev to be inventive. :( Primitive plot and straightforward to the fuck stories didn't working here. :( Fighting and grinding didn't working here too (and very well working in the monster sex or trainer niche for example). So there is lot's of complication...

So called "dating sim's" working well with lesbian niche. But it's not my cup of tea. And many of them even didn't porn games and mostly grind for nothing.

welp... most rich livestock farmers once had a passion of becoming a rocket scientist, then they realized they're already doing great at what they have so why bother?
sometimes... it's best not to follow your passion(making lesbian-themed games), but keep it with you.

If the story is great and not just being forced into things make a lesbian female Mc game where you have 4 or 5 females that you can romance add 1 night stands with women just so you can balance the sex and romance alot of lesbian games on this site add too many chars which slows down updates or splits the game to being m/f. There is a lack of just Lesbian female Mc games that are just focused on Lesbian Romance.

You want to make money from Porn game, Here the 4 tags you need:
~Male Protag
~Harem
~Huge Dick
~incest**

Anything else to optional to be honest.
The incest tag may be gone in the future since patreon will fuck you in your ass with a cactus if you have it.
(Subcriberstar all the way)

In my experience, yes.

Here is the thing: You are trying to sell these games to lonely men, period. And although lesbians are very popular in a porn site, they are popular for reasons that have nothing to do with these games; namely, lesbians are popular in porn because it's hot seeing two women have sex and because it involves no men, which is usually kind of annoying in porn.

Games, however, have you take the role of a player. I can say that this also applies to games with a female protagonist in porn games specifically, especially narrative-driven games such as visual novels. As I said, you are selling these games to lonely men first and foremost.

Interesting thoughts.

But... there is solution: mixing voyeur and lesbian genres. :) Where you proto may be anyone but he making deal with lesbians. Like in my "The Agent Who..." novel.

Most guys I know do like lesbian content so I think there's some easy cross over. Why do you think pretty much ALL straight porn has lesbo scenes in it as well? I actually don't think I've ever seen any porn that didn't have any lesbo stuff in it, so it has pretty wide appeal. There's also the cliche that you NEVER interrupt a cat fight, because of course it might devolve into naked mud wrestling or whatever right?

I think the market for a game with ONLY lesbian content might be a bit niche, but you could easily expand that to include the biggest porn consumers (straight guys) by having an option for at least some of the lesbian characters to discover they're actually bi (or at least have them "experiment") with some dick.

At that point... Why just don't have the player fuck them? Sounds like a very specific and niche audience.
There is some demand's for lesbian niche fans: we don't want to look on cock's or straight sex.
