Just need to bitch a bit

[Gri33m]

"Real Porn"'s gotta be the laziest tag I swear; there was a time when it was excusable because yeah, I'm sure it's not easy to find artists, but that's been a moot point for a bit now. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a huge fan of AI CG either, but fuck at least some work goes into it; if I wanted to watch porn I'd just watch porn. I haven't really checked to see how many projects of this nature are genuinely asking for money, but even the thought that they might be is enough to piss me off to be honest.

I'm done now, can't think of anything else to rant about. Just wanted to post it, cause it feels like there's more and more all the time, which I really just can't understand the appeal for at all.

people who make it or play them don't do it because real porn is lazy, but because they prefer photos of real people over 3d or drawn. just like there are people who think the generic japanese 8 fps lowest bar animation is the only thing in the universe.

it's just a difference in taste. people genuinely just like different things.

On a small note, a lot of work can go on, like the editing of gifts and images or even focusing more on the content, story, UI, etc. All the time that you save from using real porn is used on other stuff. When you see some "lazy" stuff like that, take into consideration that the extra time they got from that is used on other aspects of the game. Is this always the case? No, but in general, I think it is.

A developer can get really good results into "Real Porn" games if they put their mind to it and are determined to do it good. The material is there, and if you're being creative and let the material influence your work (i.e. if the pornstar did a Tennis court sex scene write one into your game) and not just shoehorn images into the narrative you decided, the results can be spectacular.

That's my philosophy in my game. Every webm (I don't use gifs) was cut, resized and converted to webm by me from vids I fap to. Every sex scene is written around the context of the vid which I'm extracting the scene. Another thing, consistency, it does not do any favors to you when your landlady (landlord in my case. He's the very first and main LI in my game) appears as a pornstar in one scene, then another pornstar in the next.

And many 0.00001 versions appear weekly, given how easy is to create with twine, but it's really hard to get any patreons with a RP game, everyone is expecting an engaging story, interesting game mechanics, a world to explore (if you intend to do a sandbox), weird kinks, etc...

Many HTML games appear, only a few survive the first six months. I'm not the best example though, I barely have players

Yeah, making a game is a lot more than just pics, that is why as you say a lot of them die really soon. People that use real porn because they think that it would have less work instead are in the wrong. Because as you say, it goes into editing or just adding more stuff outside that.

I agree partly, still you should not wait for some kind of masterpiece.
Especially it will be too hard to write for the dev, you cant really find every scenario for the same type of characters.

This comes down to a difference in philosophy that is greater than just games or laziness. You don't see Japanese games doing this and it's not just down to 3dpd or copyright. The Japanese economy tends to be very vertically integrated, and that's no accident. The Japanese hate outsourcing to the lowest bidder and that's essentially what you are doing when you use real porn in your game.

The difference is a lack of pride in one's work, not laziness.

You can do some magic with Photoshop, the creator of Incubus City 2 made some nice images with the actress being pregnant. But yeah, there is a reason why 90% of the sex scenes in that type of game end with a facial, since that is the most common thing in porn.

I agree that it's awful but if you think of like an interactive caption for your porn gif, it makes a little more sense.

I prefer real porn instead of badly made 3d. Play enough 3d games and many of them start to look the same.

If the author is good using real porn can save time for the story too.
