Honestly if you stuck with the original idea it wouldd have been better than a cleaner or bob the builder plus the final build doesn't have meat sources in other word you are stuck on 3 floors so no wonder you ain't satisfied man, you can try again if you wish and i do hope so

So, I made this post on the recruiting portion of the site, prolly should've asked this thread what you guys think of it first, but yeah, what do you all think of making a fangame/continuation of Hole Dweller? I think it'd be cool. I already reached out to THG last week about it but they haven't gotten back to me and I think they may just be peacing out fully, so.

Urban Demons -> Zombie's Retreat/Demon Deals/like a billion other lil copies like Neversaint and whatever
Hole Dweller/Kingdom Holes -> ???

I am looking for a project to work on post-grad and i mean, why not, ya?

Brainrotted takes. If you want a quick fap, then why are you booting up a game? Saying that there's no point in gameplay is like saying there's no point in comics or hentai with story.
Criticism of games that don't do nearly enough of the porn part is valid. But there's not much point in a glorified gallery either. Balancing gameplay and porn is hard, but getting it right gets you a great experience. If gameplay is also just a filler between sex scenes, then it's not done right. Having enjoyable gameplay tied to or involving the scenes should be the goal. Another thing is when rather than just being a reward for playing well, sex is gameplay, which is one of the best ways for a porn game to be, and completely removes any argument of game with sex tacked on or scenes with minigames in between. What comes to mind for that is things like Factorial Omega and some molestation games. In short, sex should be mechanically tied to gameplay imo. But most devs either make shovelware minigames for a glorified scene collector or a good enough game with porn sprinkled in for interest. For the latter I'm really annoyed how standard loss-h is, with how it creates a goal directly opposite to the gameplay and artificially lenghtens the whole thing.
I went on a rant and now I remembered a thing to say in the context. There's a lot of porn with some game in, there's a lot of games with porn in, but there's few actual porn games.
I agree with what you're saying about tying sex to gameplay, but I think a lot of the issue people have is that a lot of lewd/porn/sex games tend to beat around the bush and use the lewd content as bait to get you to go through some of the most atrocious game design or poorly written story in order to get there. Nobody wants to beat their head against a wall in promise of maybe an extra sex scene, or sit through a 15 minute cut scene where nothing really interesting happens and putting sex into the game doesn't magically make that good. I think most developers forget that the game is there to make the porn better and not the other way around. Even if the gameplay is good it's usually just fairly disconnected from the h-content, funnily enough I think loss-h is common for the reason that it adds tension and context to the gameplay. Fighting to avoid getting forcibly fucked is an interesting and erotic scenario and makes the player feel vulnerable, fighting to defeat some guy so you can then have sex with someone else later is just some random thing the game makes you do before putting some lewd pics on the screen. To be honest I think all of us really want the same thing, a straight to the point, mechanically deep and rewarding game, that has sex as an integral mechanic to it's gameplay.

Update, so I am working on this and have made some OK progress but with filler art since like I say in the post that's the one thing I just cannot do. I might post some progress I make on it here if anyone is interested or I might make my own thread for it. Anyone in thread who has art skillz, plsssssssss say hi and let's see if we can work something out, Hole Dweller doesn't have to end like this!
