    Tons of hours of gameplay right here. Takes a while to learn the complicated mechanics but for those like me who like the depth thats a non-issue.

    Grindy yes but aside from the stat grind (except for the sex skill) its not boring. But i would like it if there was more "flavor" for grinding the MC's stats for example some events (maybe with some sort of reward depending on your stat level) while working out or studying at the library so that they are less of a chore and more like things to look forward to and do now and then even after you max out. Maybe some competition events as well? As things are you just max them out at the beginning then forget about them.

    An expansion on the dating mechanics would be great as well. More roleplay and gameplay depth is exactly what this game needs to be one of the staple games in any erotic game enjoyers library.

    Very excited for future updates, keep up the great work devs and thank you for giving us something we can "squeeze out" hours upon hours of enjoyment from :p

    This is such an underrated game, I love this game, a true porn industry tycoon. Offcourse it can be overhelming and very complicted the first time you try it but if you give it enough time after you learn the ropes of this you will be amazed how great game it is. I love this and for me is an awesome game! The only thing I don't like about this is that teens look like milfs or much older women but I know this might be because of legal purposes, the dev wants to play safe, thank you for this amazing game.

    its a great game worth trying. In the game you try to start up porn empire and make porn films but as you play there are more to it then that, Training girls to be better at their jobs , getting better movies made and much more been playing a while and there has been many up-dates to the game. Its still got a long way to go to be finished but it still has a lot to offer try it and see.

    I have great respect for this project and its developer. The game has an eye-pleasing drawing style, an excellent sandbox component that fascinates and makes you play again and again. The game itself is not perfect, it has extra mechanics that do not have much meaning and popularity of application, such as webcam models, website creation or cosplay. But show me a game with a similar setting that would be better? There are simply no such games.

    From myself I would like to leave a wish, sometimes meeting an attractive girl and not being able to offer her a casting or having lost the opportunity to pass the casting successfully, there is a slight disappointment. It would be wonderful if there was an opportunity to contact the girl after the failure, for example, a week after the failure, and then get the opportunity to offer her a job again. Something like a phone call could fix the situation, you can also add an option so that sometimes the girls themselves change their minds and call back wanting to cooperate. A second chance would not be superfluous.

    Also, maybe it's worth adding a sleep function in the hotel? Ahahaha. Thank you and good luck!

    Totally addicted to this game, no idea how it isn't more popular. A great game with massive potential. I love the simplicity of the 2D environment, and how the developer managed to make it that way and still make the game moddable. There's certainly things that can be added and tweaked to make the game less of a grind-fest, but grinding is always going to be an aspect of simulators, try playing Football Manager.

    One of my favorite games on this site. This is a fairly deep (and at the same time easy to control) management games. Similar in scope and scale to "Simbro"... only created by people who actually know how coding works.

    Awesome game!

    It is fun to play. I spent hours playing since some time now and have to admit that it is my fav game.
    Very much details and quite interesting options. Truly unique.
    Hopefully there will be many updates to keep the fun up.

    TL;DR: Gameplay mechanics are good but their interaction implementation can be infuriating. The complexity is best described like how skyrim was "the complexity is as wide as a lake with the depth of a puddle"

    I did some trial runs to test and then a actual gameplay run that lasted 1 year in game time because even by month 10 I had reached the peak and there was nothing new to do. During that year I did:
    1. Reached rep 4 (and 40%)
    2. Bought every property upgrade but the yacht
    3. Got all named recruitable NPCs
    Heres my thoughts as of 0.799: It does ok or above with its gameplay systems and the management aspect but faceplants HARD on UI, unfinished/unclear systems and some fairly stupid design decisions that result in a lot of tediousness

    As a example to the latter, the game lets you train your stats. Intelligence is highly needed for conversations since otherwise you are ognna have to take a blind guess with a 1/6 chance(some archetypes may affect their want) to not get a penalty to your request, To train intelligence you go and study in the library which takes 60 energy out of your 100 cap. Theres no way to change that cost. So while you can easily train intelligence twice a day it takes 8 times as many clicks as it should if they just reduced the cost to 50. This is incredibly annoying and doesn't add anything of value.

    The same is true for Charisma and would be true for Fitness unless you find the yoga hall completely negates the need to ever visit the gym becuase its better in every single regard.

    Given the necessity of the stats for both events/filming and recruiting theres no reason not to focus on stat maxing before you even reach Rep 1. Which is also very easy I might add given their cheap cost.

    The game also bills you fully for systems that don't seem to function as well as they should. By month 3 I had a website and should have earned some 40k from subs on it. I got 0$ while stille getting billed for 10k. I kept it running. 3 months later the thing costed me 40k in maintenance and produced 10k though it says I should be getting 120k profit from subs alone.

    Moving on from talking specific issues im gonna describe how a run will likely progress
    1. First month, train intelligence for editing/recruiting and Fitness for filming while you do some recruiting during the night and a bit of filming here and there to gain a bit of rep
    2. Second month, with training complete you use all availble actresses and quickly get rep 1 which changes... nothing really since you wont have any passive income sources to fund staff. So just go out hire more basic hookers for cheap and film. Maybe you strike gold with a contract.
    3. third month, as you reach rep 2 you unlock the studio you
    4. fourth month, slowly increment more staff, 1-2 more studios (given the kinda dumb AI even that will completly clog your ready to publish folder with movies
    5. see fourth
    6. see fifth
    7. You spam "rest for 24h" while waiting for your staff produces movies and rep for you. Occasionally check in if theres a contract you can finish for big cash either now or by signing a contract and performing surgery to make them fit the mold.
    8. you gain enough money for nightclub you buy that, hire strippers inside the club and put them on on dancing. Grats you got the easiest income source in the game
    9. never stop sleeping the entire day away.

    If the game got tightened up and removed millions of minor grievances that plague which (many of which are by design and easily fixable) I can easily give this a higher score. Its not the mechanics or the appearance(though it's not a particularly good looking game). Its the slightly incompetent interaction with them that makes this infuriating to start playing.

    Here are the quick fixes.
    • Fix inteligence and charisma energy cost so its less of a nuisance to train.
    • Reduce the "XP" or whatever for rep 0, given its similarity to rep 1 progress its pointless.
    • let you make solo films without studio
    • add a minimize actor button so you can actually use the "sort by _" function on the table
    • raise the bottom of dashboard UI by like 20 pixels so the sideways scrollbara at buttom of actors is usable.
    • add a button in the studio section to have a contract selects its sorting so you can see what actors work (so if it says: Blonde, big tits havea button that selects those sorting labels)
    • Reduce waiting so its same or less time than traveling. It's kinda dumb that swapping locations take 45 mins while waiting is 60mins.
    • Get consistent with location times. You can stay at night club to 6 though it says 5 and the ocean kicks you out after 18 though it says 19.
    • Fix the model variety feature on websites. If i put 50 different actors im still punished for "we've seen these before" when I infact gave more choice than they could ask for.
    • Cap videos/month on personal websites. The fact I need 8 videos from a single actor in a month is ridiculous. If I had more personal websites I'd run out of time to film anything normal.

    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

    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...

    Manifold

    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.
