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

A great brothel management game with fun gameplay. While the graphics and animations are subpar to my taste, the progression and money-making are very satisfying. The randomly generated girls let you search for your perfect waifu, and the stories are entertaining. This game can keep you entertained for a long time. Well done!

how in the world do you set out to make a porn game and then make every sex scene look like a guy doing shadow puppets on a cave wall. even if the art and rigging wasn't so difficult to look at, the game would still be completely devoid of eroticism to anyone who isn't sexually attracted to menus and spreadsheets. i really don't like being so negative but i've given a lot of pretty unpleasant looking games on this site a fair chance and this is the first one where i can't find anything good to say about it

been playing this one and off, and honestly at this point i really like the simulation/management aspect more than the porn aspect.
the game isn't polished too well, but that doesn't mean it's not fun.

Proper management game. Complex, a lot of variables. Room for strategy.
There's a brief tutorial but the game doesn't hold your hand after that. I believe there's more detailed information on the game's site, but I prefer trial and error. Making my own way.
I've played as both a male and female main character. Each have strengths and weaknessness. I settled for a female MC because of the sheer number of appearance customisation options.
I love the fact you can travel around the world. Reminds me of Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego. Each region looks slightly different, which is a nice touch. It would be cool if there was even more distinctiveness.
I would prefer it if a male main character could hire other men for porn scenes, though. I'm guessing it's because it then might need an NTR tag?

+1 for effort. Feels more like learning an accounting software program than playing a game. Customization menu hell. Make some default character setting presets and I guarantee you it'll become way more accessible to a lot of players, myself included. Will update my review when that happens. I couldn't make it more than 20 minutes. Crippling ADHD is a bitch.

So far I've put a lot of time into this game. It's one of the better porn management games out there. Does get a bit grindy at times but once you learn what works, watch the cash flow! I still would like to see more animations get added and maybe a free cam option when actually watching the scene. I would also like an option to re-watch published scenes. I would've gave it 5 stars but there are a few issues with animations not displaying properly, especially with threesome scenes. Overall its a great game with even greater potential!

Didn't talk too much this game give u freedom to manage u porn industry BUT i say freedom is mean FREEDOM how many porn game or hentai game give u freedom and u can design anything like this game? BUT this game need to focus sex scenes because is suck i can accept this because this game not just like full porn game BUT i think sex scenes can better who doesn't want better things like?

I have played this game for 4 months or so, and it's quite good. I like the mod features within the game, being able to customize characters and scenes (not yet managed to make any custom scenes, but hope I can soon).
The gameplay is quite smooth, haven't really came across any major bugs yet.
Overall I love the game, since I can play seriously and can also just fool around depending on mood.

And a other than game note, well I don't have much of discord experience to compare with something, but so far the discord of developer has proved quite helpful for me, it's nice to have doubts and problems solved without much delay.

I played this game obsessively for a while, but once I managed to get past the initial stages it began to feel anti-climactic.

I really like the art style, but eventually the porn just disappears from view. I have to go out of my way to see it, even when my character is starring in a scene. The gameplay is less about porn and more about clicking through menu after menu and watching numbers go up.

I did struggle to quit, because it really put a hook in me, but I just wasn't having fun.

Horrendous UX. poorly scale text and color scheming of ui will likely hurt your eyes muscle.
Thrwoing too much customization at new player. customization is good but you should've a preset character for new player instead of everything @50% defaulttemplate.

If you don't love yourself or your eyes haven't had enough damage from monitor and you can endure the aforemention problem. this is pretty solid porn management game.
But.
Unless there is some new UI/UX revamp , as fun as this game is I'm not gonna subject myself or my eyes to this toturous ui again.

very clunky menus.. they had so much time to polish this game out but everything is so clunky. The gameplay itself is fine i suppose. The studio management is the worst. It says "no director" yeah ok then let me assign it but the buttons are greyed out despite me already having hired a director.. what bs

the automatic scene shootings is also terrible, theres not enough options there

the event with vandals breaking your stuff is bad, its just an excuse for the security mechanic but the mechanic itself is bad and unrealistic.

another thing - expenses and income. Its illogical that the game requires you to hire a personal assistant for it to show you expenses and income. Like my brother in christ, i have maxed out my smarts, the mc should be able to count the numbers himself not hire someone to do it

Overall, i play enough games to know when a game is just bad design and this game is badly designed. It's not terrible in all aspects, but the execution of everything is bad and especially the menus are very clunky.

If you make a business simulation game then the menus working well and effortlessly should be a priority, but they are one of the worst aspects of this game.

Oh and dear god i just cant stress enough the lack of quality in this game. For example in the kissing scene she still is moaning, the sound design is also atrocious

I ask a girl to get on birth control i suppose? she says yes.. then next day i have the same option to do it again and infinitely. Nothing matters.
The same with make a gf. She already is my gf but the option and dialog still is there too.

0 polish. very little quality. bad design

The game is a lot of fun. I managed to recruit a nice girl and made a lot of amateur videos with her, then I noticed that she could be a great assistant... So I hired her to post her and promote her own videos What a pity that the girl can't become an actress again later... it would open up very interesting possibilities. I play and play and I'm still impressed... I know there are things that could be done better, but I realize how huge the content is and I can only guess how much work it took to make it look like it does now... For now, it really is It's a good game, and after perfecting the details it can be excellent.

Brilliant game, if you ever imagine what if you decided to start an pornographic business in your mind... then Porn Empire is directly for ya.

The biggest selling point to the game is... looking around for potential models and staff once you found your porn business after reaching rep level 1, then start minding about your budget unless you use cheats, cheater.

And now, does the game have wank material? Yes, it does in my honest opinion it's quite decent as you might start unzipping your pants then start right fapping on seeing your models engaging sexual activity while you're going to make money out of this. I always made sure that I contract my models after reaching rep level 2.

Is this game any good? Yes, as an fan of management and simulation games.
But so far the game gets solid 5 out of 5 stars from me, despite game update being slow as usual unless you decide to suppor the dev on Patreon.

A legitimately great business simulation game. You produce a product (porn scenes) with production costs and depending how good that scene is and how you market it you get revenue for each scene. You need to figure out how to keep the unit economics positive to pay for your business overhead, and what are the smart places to make investments to take your company to the next level.

There's a ton of game mechanics involved, and random good/bad fortune you have to navigate. The dev has done a great job so far and has a great vision for where the game is going to go. I wouldn't say the game is "broken" but there are some paths that seem to work better than others to develop a profitable business. The dev is continuing to tweak things to make it properly balanced and add in erotic elements that fans are clamoring for.

The simulation aspect gives it great replay value, and the dev hopes to one day make it so every game is different, as you figure out how to build a profitable business given the resources available to you and your skill set. It's a wonderful vision, and the game built so far is really great already, I can't recommend it enough if you are posting on this board!

Well, this game has so much potential! Hope the devs do not get lost in all the details. The possible customizations are so great and the setup is challenging enough to keep you trying to sort out, how to become a successful porn producer. The art is a bit edgy, but it is not the main focus of the game, so this is fine. I look forward to seeing how this progresses.

Management-games are probably the most interesting genre of adult games.

PE is not the best management-game out there, but it is still incredibly ambitious, quality-title, with an especially good visual fidelity for this genre.

Like most management-games out there, some stuff is just incidentally broken. There's a lot of interconnected systems that don't necessarily work together: Automating production sometimes borks, models being "unavailable" operates on programmer-logic, meaning it's easy to exploit, and sex-scenes are seemingly built with the intention to just make the player set up whatever poses they want to see.

But the fantasy that the game offers is powerful, and most games don't let you have a sandbox this deep, with art that's this good, never mind the occasional clipping of clothes. Even if it is ultimately in the service of making the green numbers go up. (Every econ-sim player's True fetish)

Took a few tries to get into it but now I'm in I'm probably here to stay. Real quick the main points of the review:

Girls - Look at the banner. If they're to your tastes great there's plenty to check out with a variety of looks and outfits. Sex scenes could do with some work but they get the job done.

Gameplay - The big draw to the game. One look at that dashboard and you'll understand. It's as complex as it looks. But with that complexity comes the freedom to play the game in any way you like. There are many ways to run your porn empire and they're all gonna make you rich.

Story - There's an intro to explain your existence, and a handful of mini-quests to get some unique girls. I'd say it's passable because one of the draws to games like this is kind of roleplaying your own "story". However, it is objectively the weakest part of the game.

If you're looking for a great management/trainer game with pletny of depth and replayability you've found it.

The big problem is the lack of readily available information about the game. There are a lot of numbers, graphs, stats etc but how they all connect isn't something you can easily look up in the game or without digging into this thread. The quick start guide on the game's website will get you started but not much else. A wiki for this game would make a massive difference in helping out players.

But we don't have that so I'm going to give you some tips for starting out.

That should set you up well enough. This game is great and well worth getting over the learning curve. hf

Porn Empire
Version: 0.83b

Writing: 2/5
There isn't much story to the game. What writing exists is not very good.

Visuals: 4/5
2d art style. Characters are randomly generated amounst a large variety of options, and you can customize those characters as you unlock options in the game.

Gameplay: 4/5
Heavy management game. If you enjoy making numbers go up and if you love excel, then this is a good game for you. Late game gets very repetative, without any real goal in the current game.

Overall: 4/5

Honestly.. I just don't know what this game supposed to be. Is it a porn game? Is this an insurance company cubicle worker simulation game? Or, is this a bureaucracy job test? Too many things to decide and too many forms to fill up. The UI is rife with overlays, it's like an actual corporate tax form job.

Too many variables to pick one-by-one, manually. Even in the sex scenes, you have to deal with adjustment buttons... and the artwork is not really my cup of aphrodisiac tea. They're all look too artistic, borderline abstract.

I'm surprised some people can get a boner playing this game.. but, hey.. nothing's impossible.

Playing Ver. 0.83b

I really want to like this game. And for the most part, I do. But it's the parts that I don't like that drags it down enough that I stop having fun.

Building your own stats and finding girls to join your company is fine, and finding those chance encounters with special characters and storylines makes things interesting. The step by step process of building a company, of looking back and saying 'wow, things have developed nicely' is really satisfying.

But it's in the management of your company where things start getting tiresome. Your list of girls becomes a mess of statistics, job assignments and training schedules. Even with some implementation of automation (aka, hiring employees to do the work for you), things don't automate very well. And it's never clear where you should put your girls, because of a distinct lack of information given to the player. Should they stay freelance and be on call for filming? Or go to the carwash/photostudio/strip-club? But if they're assigned to any of those other duties the automation stops slotting them for filming, leaving some of your most popular girls without any content being made. And it's never clear what statistics benefit which sub-job. Does Charisma and intelligence impact earning for cam-shows and the strip club? No clue! How to other stats and traits affect jobs? No idea.

The special characters that can be found through repeated visiting of locations are each interesting and unique, but troublesome on their own. Without a clear idea of when they're going to be there, you end up just spamming the wait button. And because there are multiple choices for dialogue, you sometimes feel like you've cut a story line short without meaning too. And because there's no quick-save feature, it can be a pain.

And don't even get me started on the market-share system for your company, or how prevalent your media is compared to your rivals. I came here to simulate a business, not have to break out my finance textbooks to understand if I'm doing well or not!

All in all, this game could use some work. A notebook system to let the player know when special events are taking place, and where special characters will be. A simplified automation system; where you can set priority for specific girls/groups of girls, and have the system complete contracts before creating generalist scenes. And most importantly! More information given to the player, more tooltips and information so that we can place our girls in the right places. So that we can hire the right people for the role we want filled!

Because I spent several hours trying to muddle my way through things. My reputation wouldn't raise beyond 2, it took me 3 hours to realize that I could upgrade my house, and I spent more time looking at menus and hitting the 'wait' button then I did finding new talent and filming old talent. Hardly the experience I was hoping for.
