Others - Porn Empire [v0.94 Dev3] [PEdev]

First thing first, sorry for the english it's my 3rd anguage.

Been following this since the very early versions and I must say it is by far one of the best adult games i've ever played.

There's a lot to do, lots of freedom, lots of random generated models (which i love as i got a "gambler" spirit) and and one of the most advanced management gameplays i've ever seen.

There's several ways to become rich, be it by building a camgirl army, making a load of websites, publishing marketed videos from famous models for high multipliers and so on... in this game and you can freely pick one of them or all.

The animations are many and hot, lots of positions for all tastes and the unique NPCs you can recruit through quests are all extremely hot (specially paula, love that doll).

The game is almost perfect as it is with only a few details that need some polish but it already deserves a 5 stars, if not more, rating as it is.

If only i might add a suggestion or two, the popularity penalty has some issues as it is at the moment. First because the producer PA doesn't seem to mind it when it programms the weekly shooting which can get very annoying later in the game (on my new save on the lastest version, i got like 20 yellow scenes and its only half in the month) and second because to me it is a bit illogical.

I would suggest, rather than a penalty for posting too often, make it a bonus of anticipation or expectation for models who got some fame already and don't post a scene for like a week or more. It would make more sense to me but thats just my opinion, feel free to ignore it if you disagree.

In any case i love the game you're doing an awesome job, making a real game out of porn with such and awesome art and so many features is really rare and i love it, keep it up!

The game contains milf looking teens, white looking asians... It could be better if the characters look alike according to their tags. MILF characters may have some wrinkles around the eyes, mouth and/or forehead, while teens do not. also maybe slightly saggy breasts and large areolas. Some specific features I mean. Asian tagged characters should have clear Asian eyes, but others shouldn't. something like these. It's not that hard to implement this to the game.(I think)

A very good brothel-like game where you play as a porn director recruiting randomly generated npcs. Has tons of animations and content and will keep you playing for days. If you're into management games, this is the right one for you!

Best Game! Thoroughly entertaining with various different aspects that draw you in and keep you going! I hope this game continues to expand. I can't wait to see how it grows! The customizations, story, and management are all vital parts that the developer has done an amazing job!

A really lovely and very much underrated game on this site. The dev did a good job in creating a fun, but also challenging management porn industry game. This game should really get some more attention by the community. The art is really nice, including different sex scenes and the mechanics aren't that complicated, although you’ve got lots of options. (Since some forum members complained about not knowing what to do and how.)

It's your job as porn producer and actor to establish a successful porn business. You'll start out with street whores and publishing videos on something like youporn in order to gain fans and attention. When your reputation grows by publishing good quality videos (which is determined by the used equipment, staff level and likeness of the scene type of the actors), it gives you more options. There are also some random tasks to fulfil like doing special scenes, which have to meet certain conditions and which will add to your reputation in the porn business. The higher the rep, the more options you'll get.

Depending on your rep you can:

• open a legal business
• recruit freelancers and contract porn actresses
• create a porn website (even a network later on with various sites, which cover different kinks)
• hire staff
• build studios and expand your office

Depending on your rep and wealth you can also buy a pool, a private beach, a nightclub and a yacht, where you can throw parties for example in order to attract new porn actresses, camgirls for your network or strippers for your night club. You can also try your luck on the streets (lots of different locations) and seduce girls in order to recruit them for your business. The latter method is your bread and butter. A third way to recruit models and staff is via agencies, which are more expensive in the end.

At a certain point of the game rival companies will appear and fight for market shares. You can try to steal their top actresses away or buy them out of business, but so can your rivals, too.

The game even has got some RPG elements, because you can level your character and recruit special npcs, which can be added to your business and grant additional bonuses. You can also customize the characters in the game to your liking and train them to higher skill levels. Staff can be promoted to management levels, so that a lot of the daily porn producing can be automatized. But you still can create your own scenes, too, if you wish to do so.

There are a few minor bugs, but the dev takes community feedback into consideration. Also, not all sex scenes do have a "happy end", yet. The only shortcoming in my opinion is the redudancy of the scenes, the quite simple animations and the lack of a story, which makes it a sandbox game. Anyway building up your business, hiring people and hunting down the special npcs can be a lot of fun.
In my opinion this games deserves a 4,5 star rating. (Between good and excellent) I can only recommend it.

Porn Empire offers a simulation/business management game experience that explores the business of pornography, letting you micro-manage lots of tiny details to reach your potential as a porn production powerhouse. The bulk of the gameplay is recruiting guys/girls to shoot scenes for you (or just hook up for a quick fling), hiring staff to work in your offices, and then juggling the financial aspects behind it all. There are also a number of unique scripted encounters throughout the game that let you meet and recruit special characters, complete with dialogue choices and schedules. Customization is another strong point of the game that seems to expand with each release, offering up new hairstyles, outfits, tattoos and body options for all of your characters. Overall, this game offers a lot of replay value with its open-ended, sandbox approach, and I'm positive it will only continue to improve with each release, particularly as the modding tools are worked on to allow for more player-made content.

Really fun game with original artwork. Grips you to explore more with some beautiful and sexy artwork and models. Focus is on gameplay and management so don't expect some 3D masterpiece. Just fun and sexy experience. Updates are regular and meningful so big + to that!

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.
