Pitching ideas and gouging interests

[Mr. Peachy]

Hello everyone, long time lurker looking to dip his toes in creative waters myself. I was hoping to gauge your interest on a couple of ideas I was torn about for my first game. One of them being your classic 'Landlady' kind of deal and another a stranded beauty/beast dynamic.

I would say 'Landladies' are quite popular here but also feel like it's a saturated subject, while I have not seen as many monster on girl type of games over the past few years. So I was looking to pitch these ideas of mine and hopefully get some insight that would help me decide on the direction for my first game.

Both would ideally lean towards slow seductive stories that transition into breeding, pregnancy and male domination. However, that is where similarities would end as one would focus on male MC's dynamic with his 'Landlady', with a lot of point-of-view renders and dialogue between the two. And the other is driven by female MC's monologue since the beast is unable to communicate in any meaningful way.

So I guess my question is, which game would you rather give a try and maybe let me know why exactly? Or maybe you would try both? Thank you all.

Here's a few 'concept' renders for the male MC driven game:







And some more for the female driven one:

For your first project, I would say go with the monster one. It may help you gain a better female perspective as you are writing it, many people who makes "Male MC seduces all" concept usually sucks at the female perspectives. I think it's essential to have a good understanding of the female perspective even in male protagonist games. Also, there aren't many monster/beast type of games in 3D setting, which might be into your advantage.

However, I am not going to lie. Even though the "Landlady" concept is worn out, the audience for it, is pretty big. Also, many people prefer male protagonist as they put themself into the MC's position.

Your renders look pretty good in both cases, so I probably would try both. I definitely prefer the monster option personally.

Both look rather boring to me. But the one with the green monke is the least boring.
You can bet your ass the 'Landlady' one will attract tons of simps, incest games always do, won't make it any more interesting than the usual 5-10 min wankfest tho.
Normally the one with the green monke would be my thing, if you got to play as the monke.
Could even pull a solid comedy if you also got to think as the monke and act as the monke, if you know what i mean.

Fem mc looks way too clean and modern, makes her look way out of place in a scene with the green monke if the monke is a 'fantasy medieval period' monke.
I think monke could also give 'native from another planet' vibe, in which case maybe the fem mc could use some sci-fi clothes/gadgets.
I also think monke could use some barbarian rags and maybe a huge club to really sell his vibe.

Wouldn't you rather say that you wanted to "peach some ideas" ? Goddammit man you had an opportunity here and you missed it.

Normally that is all I wanted to say but since I don't want to be off-topic I would say that out of the two ideas I also lean more towards the beauty and beast scenario.

The "landlady" stuff is saturated and at the same time I feel like none of the games I've seen are doing it right. It always feels more like you end up fucking an older woman that you just happen to call "landlady" rather than her actually feeling like your "landlady", if that makes sense.

The other scenario certainly feels more unique and it would catch my attention if it were on the latest updates page. Plus there are multiple directions to take the idea which could end up being interesting: comedy, drama, science fiction, fantasy. But at the end of the day it will all depend on the writing for this one.

you guys saying incest games are saturated, can you name three completed incest games off the top of your head from last 3 years? can you name one?

it's not 2018 you know, there hasn't been almost any significant incest games in years. we all know the big ones from 2018 and before, but after that there's only a handful of them.

MIST? Probably some stuff by Siren's domain got completed in the past 3yr timeframe. Too lazy to check. And that's coming off the top of incest hater's head.

More to the point, chances are, OP's game won't join the ranks of completed games either, so one more 0.00001beta or one less, who cares

 

[Mr. Peachy]

Thanks everyone, a lot of valuable insight here.

The first picture is so pretty.

Asking for completed games is actually too much. We all know, that most games are incomplete for different reasons.

ON TOPIC:
- I love renders in both games. Girls look natural and the female MC from second game looks really hot.

But I'd go with the first one, because I always play as male MC.
And I dont care if they are related or not, if the girl looks hot - its already great.

Incest games are oversaturated, to a ridiculous degree, regardless of however many actually get completed.

To answer OP, I vote for option 2, anything to see less incest on here.

obviously incomplete games don't count a saturating the market.

Corruption 2017 and neverheard HS game.
Solvalley School 2017 and neverheard. HS game. bet you searched these.
Man of the House 2017 (really??)
Glassix 2016

S.H.E.L.T.E.R. okay this is the first one that qualifies as a finished post-patreon incest game with some following, but even this was 2019. that's 1. there was a couple more in the other posts.

anyone who thinks this sorry bunch of games is saturating the market is just insane.

 

[desmosome]

Combine the two. You seduce the landlady with the male MC, but half way through the game, there is a plane crash and the Landlady and MC gets stranded on an orc island. The MC is incapacitated from the crash and the landlady has to take care of him by going out foraging.

You assume these were complete in 2017?

Corruption 2017 and neverheard HS game.
Solvalley School 2017 and neverheard. HS game. bet you searched these.
Man of the House 2017 (really??)
Glassix 2016

Oh, also, HS game is still a game. If you dont like it - its your own preference, that was not mentioned in your original request.

In the end you just want a game built specifically for you, and the only way to get it is to make it yourself.

The opinions of some faceless strangers are worthless for you: The only thing that matters is what appeals to you the most. I'm sorry if it sounds a little hippie, but there are good, practical reasons for this, as I'll detail below.

Creating porn with financial aspirations is one of the loneliest and hardest creative endeavors one could take. It takes years to bear significant fruit, it's something you'll probably hide from people around you and even when you succeed, you will not be able to show your work to (some of the) people whose opinion you value the most. And that's before toxic comments, frustrated fans and an ever shifting commerce ecosystem which will not hesitate for a second before changing the rules of the game and cut off your meager financial gains.

The only thing that will push you forward in the early years of frustration and loneliness is your own passion. What gets you hard, to be blunt. So if you end up choosing a path which is less desirable to you because some randos in the internet recommended you do so, you're hurting the most important asset you have early own: your own drive.

Having said that, there's no saturation in "man of the house" fantasies and there will probably never be. If you look at classic porn books (Greenleaf, etc) from the 70s and 80s they deal with this exact fantasy: fucking mommy. It's an ancient erotic fantasy and it's not going away anytime soon.

Good luck!

I just remembered one more interesting topic one could try one's hand at if one wants to roll incest but be hella different -

You must be registered to see the links

.
A unique take on incest that is not very explored. I believe F95 doesn't even have a tag for it yet, so you definitely won't be seeing a lot of competition with it just yet.
