Others - Porn Empire [v0.92 dev5] [PEdev]

I hope the beauty of the characters could be improved a little bit more. I also like the idea but improving the your abilities in the game is a long way to go. And in this long way, after a while, every scene and discussion becomes the same or similar. So the game needs a lot extra content with the scenes or just cut the long way to short.

Though it is a very nice game. Hope it can get better

Art and h scenes are top notch the character models are well made and customize-able they have models of other famous characters that have h scenes the gameplay is decent and they have cheats to make it go by faster if you are just here for the h scenes give the game a download and support the creator if you can

The following review is based off my personal experience with playing this Game/Visual Novel... I try to be as brutally honest and detailed as I can, and these are my own opinions and thoughts, from one or more play throughs... The version this review is based on is v0.795...

This one is in essence a porn company management game, and it uses an installer...

The visuals of the characters are 2D hand drawn, and decent looking for their style... The animations are done in a paper puppet method, with varying joints allowing the static limbs and so forth to move in a semi-fluid motion... There tended to be clipping now and then, depending on the models, clothing being worn (or not worn), and sexual scenes... The backdrops are few but unique... Befitting of the character art style... The user interface can be a bit complex, as this game leans heavily on the management aspect of game play... You can move the models around slightly in the porn shoots, which was a nicety, as sometimes their default locations looked odd...

The script is fairly decent with only a few spelling/grammar errors... The almost non-existent plot involves a male/female/etc protagonist (your choice) running a porn business from the very beginning and on-wards... You can recruit various characters, that appear at random in some locations, to do porn video shoots, as well as possibly persuade folks as well... You then have to go through the various production steps to get it posted and begin making money... Money is then used to upgrade things, get new equipment, pay bills, and hire staff/models...

It does have an out-of-game introductory tutorial, but it is very basic... Without it though, you may be slightly stumped as to how to initially begin... It appears the developer is working on an in-game tutorial, but I do not believe it is working yet...

As I mentioned before, this is a porn industry based management game, with quite a bit of repetitiveness... The models seem to be randomly generated, which adds some visual variety, but in the end most sexual scenes are still highly repetitive, even after purchasing stuff... One nicety is that you can make your character how you want, within the limitations of the choices made available to you... And there are several fetishes made available, with probably more to come, as this game is still in development...

Overall, this is a highly porn focused management game, with a high degree of repetitiveness in the sorts of activities that can be done... Although the 2D hand drawn models look pleasant, the animations are a bit puppet like... The quality of the game is about average, and depending on how well you do, the game can become a bit boring after a while... It does show some promise as far as the management aspects alone, once you actually figure out what does what... There really is hardly even any story content beyond the initial setup... Will I revisit this one, more then likely not... As it has no real on-going story happening, and a lack of content that really keeps me engaged for the long haul... But again, this game is still in development, so who knows what the future might hold... I wish the developer/s the best of luck...

p.s. - As this game uses an installer, be cautious...

This game is a management game, but throughout time the dev gave it a specific porn feature thanks to the art, but most of all because of the plastic surgery function, which is in fact a 2D, basic version (but still addictive) of japanese 3D Barbie doll games like Honey Select. Create your own perfect upper class little doll with shiny jewels, which you can then rough-fuck (my favourite place is my own room which I leave totally unchanged from it initial "Trainspotting" deco).

I'd like to know the percentage of people who love this game more because of the management feature, and the percentage of those who play it above all for this Barbie doll feature. I'm sure its about fifty-fifty.

Thank god the dev is now producing updates which don't force you to learn new fundamental game rules each time, and where you can load saves from previous versions.

First game I ever truly tried, more than two years ago. I'm happy its getting even better and better each time.

It's a 3 star game that could be better but hasn't finishing finding it's footing despite 3 years in development.
The management aspect is solid but both versions I've played left me feeling like it's bloated with many options compared to streamlined with flushed out options. The UI is also... brutal is too strong but, rough at least. The game isn't always fun to play, since it's going for the 'game first porn second' approach according to it's fans that's a double ding against it. I am a fan of the art style, I prefer drawn to rendered and I like customization.
At it's core it's okay enough that if it's your style of game and you like the art you should give it a try and see for yourself but it's got a ways to go despite having been in development for a good while.

Porn Empire is management, tycoon-like game with sex/porn/lewd elements. It is NOT sex/porn/lewd game with management elements.

Game is about girl/guy who can fuck all day and want to start porn video business. You have to scout, interview and fuck actors then edit movie and try to make money. Firstly you are one-man-army but after some time you can start official company, build/buy buildings, get staff, open porn www sites etc. Game is quite challenging and running a company is not easy at first but it adds to replayability
Porn Empire is mostly a sandbox so you have to find your own targets and achieve them. Especially that endgame is still work in progress. There is not much story. There are few special characters who have dialogues and you can recruit them as actress or stuff.

All scenes are animated, 2d. Art is nice. Characters are customisable (face, haircuts, outfits, skin colour, jewlery).
As for 0.78d game is almost bug free, stable and quite balanced.
Sound is simple but is does not matter much.

As a bonus I can say that Creator is adding stuff to game constantly and his patreon is very fair.

This is a super solid game, I've lost a ton of hours already with more content on the way. Would love to see categories based on actions, e.g.: BJ, anal, titjob, etc. Otherwise customization is really deep and rewarding to build a niche site

v0.77
I will not talk in detail about the game, this is done in previous reviews, I will write briefly the pros and cons
Pros:
Sandbox
Procedural generated girls with a huge number of options - the chances of meeting two identical very small
Good art
Animation
There are no thousands of dialogs that break the mouse like in visual novels, they are in the right amount
Сons:
Some animations have not been finalized yet
There are a number of bugs

Edit v0.81b

Yeah, this is 5 star game now. POV scenes and auto salary adjustments are good additions. There is still lots of polishing to be done (that maternity clothing bug is STILL there ) but sheer developer effort pushes this to the 5 star rating.

########################
Edit: V0.8

Rated this to 4 star game from 3 star. Lots of base improvements made this way better than it was on when I previously looked into it.

Some core problems still pester this game. One of the still is the lack of proper feedback. Figuring out what makes money, why things break, why staff is quitting while still "happy" etc. is still a hassle that you don't want in a porn game. UI has come a long way but still could use tuning (like request are are important enough that better menu system for the would be great). There are still lots of bugs (like previously mentioned bug where pregnancy clothes stay on unless you manually remove them after the actress have given birth).

Still, the best thing the game offers is the early game where you need to talk to get the unique chicks and do shady amateur porn stuff. Once it gets to the company level, it looses lots of it's steam.

Game is however approachable, unique and fun. It is worth your time.

################################
Some good ideas but there are plenty of issues to fix (0.077a).

Probably the thing that hurts most in the long run is the UI. At places it is too cluttered, some places it seems unfinished and in some it just fails to deliver the needed information easily (specially dealing with model stats and production). For example, main screen essentially has 5 buttons. 3 of them have one specific use (rest, go to studios, go to map), one is essentially useless (bedroom) and last one has almost everything else under it. Maybe better grouping of things would help but as it is, it is cluttered and slow to use.

Second thing that drags things down is the lack of feedback. Game just presents and throws things at you and you are newer sure why. Worst offender is the website management. I really did not get how it was supposed to make money and neither did the AI assistants. Marketing is the same. Sure you can but money into it, but money is not subtracted from you and nothing seems to happen.

Add to all this few bugs, like game not automatically changing models appearance after after pregnancy, some special scenes not having animation controls and games tendency to hang and crash now and then, you get quite a lot of baggage to weight out the good.

Idea of the game is solid, management aspect is done well (where it is logical) and character creation aspect is good. So it has good core but needs lots of polishing to become a real gem.

Best game i've ever played about management category so i can tell the truth of the game which is very playable for hours without boring. I hope it developes further and further and dont abonded as simbro. Great Work!

v0.76d
Good concept, decent realisation so far.
Mechanics require some tweaks, for example auto-fuck. Possibility of somehow rewatching scenes would be great. Also hidden camera option for staff hookup is cool if possible.
Graphics are good, imho graphics need only body jiggles and shading to be very good, also more body variety to increase realism if the project is going in that direction (inb4 not a fan of landwhales).

This game is great! love the management genre and this one is one of the most extensive ones ive tried so far. The variety between "employees" is very broad in both design, stats and personality which is great. The journey from small time amateur porn producer to porn empire is very satisfying aswell.

The only reason Im not giving this game 5 stars is the characters expressions are kind of lifeless and the animations are pretty stiff and slow. More emotion in both the faces and animations would make this game almost perfect in my opinion.

This game is good as it is as a regular business sim, with potential to be great with a few more mechanics and some polishing.

As porn, it's quite a failure. Directing and watching some randomized NPCs go through sex-motions does nothing for me, and the few handcrafted characters/storylines are just marginally better. (2/5 at best)
Perhaps it manages to simulate the experience for actual porn actors, where the eroticism of the act just dies when sex becomes a business.

I rate it on the game mechanics though, because I had a few hours of fun with it.

This game reminds me a lot of the old Lula: The Sexy Empire game, only it is WAY more interactive and not nearly as confusing in its interface and mechanics. It is a very good time killer and the character models are varied enough that it doesn't get old too fast.

At 0.75 development I do hope there is still a lot more to go, more interactivity with the models/special characters and more random events would go a long way towards keeping the game fresh.

would give it 4 and half star, but cant.. soo it take 4.

its a nice game. i take out half a star for the grinding, wich is not extreme or hard, but i m very not fan of grinding stuff.

nontheless this game is pretty good. you build your own porn industry from scratch (almost), starting to hire cheap whore on the street, doing shitty movie and getting some extremly horny perv' dude as fan...

and the more you progress, the better you get all of this, with some nice looking chicks, you make cool movie for lots of fans

and so on...

the concept is simple, similar to alots of "tycoon" games type. with porn on it.

the amount of customizations is very good and it allow to randomly create/spawn new girls/mens all around the places that you can recruit.

you also can recruit some "special" peoples to help you on your productivity and get some "special" bonus from them (see what i mean ? )
you can also, if you very like a girl, make her your girlfriend wich didnt give huge advantage but allow you to have fun with her "freely"

ya can play as male or female and you can join the movie by bein actors yourself in it... or just watch the actors having fun together.

the randomly generated name of girls and boys are sometime pretty funny as you can end with some "real" peoples names XD

with all of this, this game is fun, good and well done.

one advice to the dev :

"Put that damn fucking game on steam ! it will work extremly great !"

have fun !

I really wanted to like this game but it didn't keep me interested for very long. The graphics are roughly what was being released in 2002. All the female models have the same basic body and face shape with only minor differences. None of them look like teens, they all look like MILFs. The game play is grindy with little to keep you interested. Training the porn stars takes lots of time and while they are being trained (5 days or more usually) they are unusable. The game play gets very predictable very quickly. This would be a decent game back in 2002 but not in 2018. I appreciate the authors efforts though and wish them the best!

Very good gameplay , a well thought-out and engaging sim-type management system. Good animations and background art is progressing. Character art is attractive with decent variety but sometimes feels a bit flat or lifeless for some reason in the nude scenes. Developer delivers regular quality updates and engages well, definitely one to watch and worth supporting; this game deserves more attention than it gets currently.

Finally a game where we take pleasure in actually playing the management system is very well thought out, hire girls, personalized or improved, build these studios and have employees goes far ^ ^ we start to do a shitty job then we live porn ^^
Really good game !

A nice management / sim game, not overly complicated, but deep enough to reward strategic thinking. I personally enjoy the art style, and the ability to change the looks & body shape of my performers is worth a star in itself. The animations aren't bad, but there is always room for improvement. Some bugs are present, but once you find how to avoid them, they become non-issues, hopefully they get fixed in future updates. I like the way the dev gives us a choice between grinding or codes, that let us play how we choose to. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because you can't edit the names of the performers. Other than that and the minor bugs, it's solid.

Porn Empire is a business simulator where you play as an amateur porn producer that is trying to build a business empire.

I've been playing this game since it first appeared, and with every update comes a big load of extra animations to spice up the filming that you do in your amateur studio. The game has a very, very simple story and the game play isn't very complex. It's a game that is very easy to play. The very core of the game is, more or less, a simple business simulator with a big load of animated porn. It might not be a super sexy game, or perhaps not even a very deep or complex game. What I like the most about the game is the art made by PEdev, the creator of this game. What I like the second most is the simple game play, I don't need to get frustrated with it. It´s pretty much a nice time killer with great potential.

This game also reminds me a lot of the classic game “Lula : Sexy Empire”, which is a good thing in my opinion.

Don't expect too much of it right now, just let the game be what it is. A simple business simulator with a little bit of cartoon inspired animated porn
