GustavoGanz hi there!

Yeah... kind of this. I'm working on 'normal' RPGM game right now. I call it "Eldrich Sanatorium". This is a roguelike game about survival in a sanatorium for the mentally unstable people. The style is similar to the movie 'Cure for Wellness'. I'm working on the gameplay and i'm not sure yet to what extent this game can feature sexual content.

I currently have over a dozen trap maps. A working core concept. And about a dozen spells for each of the two main characters.

I also have all sorts of "working maretials", that is, pictures for Nick Marlowe, from which perhaps another update could be organized someday.

The 'problem' with Nick Marlowe is that the more I think about how to develop the game, the more it starts to look like a proper noir or detective story, rather than porn.

That's fine, isn't? A lot of the better VNs straddle the line between erotica and adult fiction
It's hard to judge.

I'm not sure the project will be successful if it has little porn and a lot of stories.

For example, I have a story about how the cat Meochio escaped from the Hudsucker laboratory (this was bloody escape!). I didn't even try to implement it graphically, because there is almost no porn there. But although, this is one of the stories of the Nick Marlotte universe.

Ah, I see the problem. You're thinking up noir stories but they won't be hot or have hot girls in them, RIP.
Maybe Nick Marlowe will return in some new project. I am currently working on improving my RPG maker skills. My new project "Eldritch Sanatorium" is already working O'k in the core (and it is a non-linear game based largely on randomness), but I still need to polish the balance and put much more graphics. After the "Sanatorium", I am thinking of making some kind of card or board game, where there may be a place for cards with Nick Marlowe.

And another character, the Cat, experienced a new surviving adventure in the strange game (no porn inside). :)
