Some games tried to do Darkest Dungeon erotica. That's not a bad concept but clearly it's hard to remake Darkest Dungeon and then adding "contents" on top.
i disagree, darkest dungeon is probably the easiest template to make good erotica, and sadly i will not consider ero dungeon a successful copycat.

you already have a decent turn based combat with different-from-the-norm skills that rely on positions, buffs/debuffs, etc...
you already have a good roguelike fairly easy to implement procedural dungeon structure.
you have basic base building that could easily be upgraded or customizable.

so with plethora of mechanics to engage, all you need is to put the H in the H-game.
-monsters with H attacks and debuffs, easy pissy.
-trap rooms, lemon squeezy
-ero facilities at camp for the party to de-stress
-relationship system between characters if they block/heal/buff/etc... with scenes at camp and with buffs in combat
the options are endless.

if i ever get fired from my job i'll get to code something like this, and AI can cover my 0 art skills i guess XD.

Hey, I'm new in this thread, tried playing the game but got tired of the gameplay, can I just see a gallery somehow? I didn't find any recent saves while searching the thread.
I just want to see the CG and animations.

Karryn was a once-in-a-lifetime fluke, don't expect anything even close to it ever coming out again.
Nah, the industry is still young. And the tools we are starting to get are better and better and allow far more people to come into it and do their thing. I believe we'll start getting games like that within the next 5ish years or so. But I might just be optimistic.

minigames are more than fine, but if it is on a hentai game it should be integrated with hentai.

imagine your typical game, but when exploring the dungeon/enemy base you solve traps a la minesweeper, but you get fkd and debuffed on certain tiles and you have to balance resources to proceed to the next room. and now it's a sugoroku when you and a rival character can control on which harrassment traps you fall into, then you get the treasure and you need to escape the dungeon. and now it's a stealth sequence or whatever. also, every single minigame should be able to be played one-handed.

i do agree, karryn-likes fail to realize why it was so great to begin with.
I'd quit that kind of game before making it to the first room lol. Sex in hentai games should be a reward, not a punishment. And due to my specific fetish random shit happening to the MC oftentimes defaults to vaginal in one way or another, and that kills my runs and turns such games into load game simulators. Besides, I have below 0 interest in solving puzzles while the blood from my brain is in my dick, as then I can only have a lose-lose situation of either failing the puzzle, or focusing on it and losing the boner.

i would assume not being able to think&wank at the same time is a user problem xD.

a good game would make it hard or unintuitive to get no scenes as you go through the dungeon/puzzle. to avoid making you lose on purpose in order to get content (the struggle is part of the eros)

as an example, in karryn's case, unless you really know and optimize your run, you'll eventually get your defenses breached. you have control on protecting specific parts, but not fully, and if you take too long or you build the wrong stat you will lose.

any decent game will have good non-penetrative content to slowly corrupt the character until it falls (assuming your character isn't a turbo slut like in this one XD)

just check unholy maiden or something similar, where can't really avoid anything sexual for long without tryharding.

I actually completely disagree. I think the full control should always be in the players' hands, otherwise virgin only runs are a fucking chore to do. And the "on loss" scenes should be rewarded on a win, that way you don't have to purposefully suck at the game to be rewarded. If I'm not mistaken, Remtairy did that in Melty's quest. Or I might be thinking of some other game with a femc.

I agree with the slow corruption.

I supported Unholy maiden, but ultimately was extremely disappointed. As I am into virgin slut anal only the game absolutely doesn't provide anything for that kind of playstyle. And my god the maps are fucking horrible. I have a ton of other issues with it, but we are not in the thread for that, so I'll stop my complaining here.

i disagree, darkest dungeon is probably the easiest template to make good erotica, and sadly i will not consider ero dungeon a successful copycat.

you already have a decent turn based combat with different-from-the-norm skills that rely on positions, buffs/debuffs, etc...
you already have a good roguelike fairly easy to implement procedural dungeon structure.
you have basic base building that could easily be upgraded or customizable.

so with plethora of mechanics to engage, all you need is to put the H in the H-game.
-monsters with H attacks and debuffs, easy pissy.
-trap rooms, lemon squeezy
-ero facilities at camp for the party to de-stress
-relationship system between characters if they block/heal/buff/etc... with scenes at camp and with buffs in combat
the options are endless.

As I have said, the concept is solid, it's execution that's tricky. Everything sounds easy on paper. There's that game that does the exact same thing you imagined: AI art, DD gameplay. They are trying to do regular updates adding contents with new characters. The issue is the more you expand the core gameplay contents (different type of dungeons, monsters etc...) the more "contents" you have to make for existing and future characters. If you have 5 types of monsters that can generate "contents" and 5 characters, you are going to have 25 sprites. Every new monster with content would require minimum 5 sprites, and so on. Worse, Jessica's Curse by the same people who made Seeds of Chaos for instance have defeat art work, which means more monsters more work. They only have 4 characters to limit the amount of work, yet it ended up being so overwhelming having to add new art work while balancing the game, it eroded their interest and the project died. The most serious barrier in my opinion as I have said, is that you better off use the time and resources making art sprite for modded DD, which already have all the systems implemented and "contents" can just be slitted in. The main bottleneck for all of these games and projects have always been the visual art. AI can only do so much, and you won't turn heads with AI.

there's a modpack on wabbajack for darkest dungeon that already does that.

Others mentioned, but Saria reclaimed. OG was actually fantastic, then the author decided to kill it and started fighting with everyone who didn't share his new vision until he eventually abandoned the project completely.
No everyone decided to be an absolute dipshit to them because they wanted a karryn copy, except they wanted to explore their own creativity.

In the bar, for example, the drinking game sometimes has a bug, and you can't perform any actions.
