Pirate-themed adult games?

[damndor]

How cum there are so few adult games that takes place with a pirate setting? Naturally, the no. 1 setting we see in so many games is the middle ages/ye olde times and futuristic setting. And the few pirate-themed games that we have available, are like less than 100mb in size, meaning it's done in 5mins or so aka they are too small. Is it really that unpopular of a theme that no developer dares taking the chance to make a game like that?

I am wondering why that is the case? Any ideas and/or thoughts on this?

Also, what pirate-themed games do we have anyway? Surely i have missed out on some.

Availablility of DAZ assets. There are a large amount of modern assets for DAZ, but most other themes really lack assets. Sci-fi is probably the second most presented theme, but even with that one you often see the same assets.

And its much harder to write. The vast majority of VNs are 'normal' life dating stories. Nothing spectacular of exciting really happens. A pirate themed game would require a different type of story as a dating story doesn't make much sense/feels wierd in the setting.

You could probably find the necessary assets and props, including a sailing ship with cannon. But there's a finite number of roles you could put female love interests in--pirate queen, high society lady and her daughters, barmaid, prostitute, native tribeswoman, slave girl, etc.

Interesting reading. No wonder we see a lot of the same type of themed games out there... So, unless the assets and props are in place, combined with a nice novel, it could work, but no wonder not many devs have tried doing this since that's the case.

Haven't played either of them much, but they both seem vaguely pirate-themed:

Venture Seas
Haven's Port

My guess is dealing with a ship is more work than anyone wants to do. For a pirate game it needs to be more than a menu from where you select a location to go.

Others have already said it: there's a lack of assets and too much work in creating a ship.

I will add another one: Writing. Unless you want to create a story that just happens to be situated on a ship, then you will need some good writing. The story has to be at least a bit compelling and coherent for it to link the pirate stuff with the setting and the aspects of a lewd game. Many adult games writers aren't, imo, good at creating stories that differ too much from our contemporary setting.
