For the past six months I've been developing a management simulator about the porn industry, extensively using AI for coding, design, testing, etc, as I don't know how to code or have any kind of experience on anything related to software development. Still, I've stuck with it for a while, and while I haven't made a lot of progress, it doesn't seem to be terribly broken.
The most likely outcome is that I drop it at some point after either growing bored or realising that I cannot make anything worthwhile.
In the meantime, I've decided to post it here to hopefully get more people involved in its development and reduce the changes of it being completely abandoned.
Ever since playing a lot of Total Extreme Wrestling 2016 back in the day I became very interested in something like it but for porn, and while there were a bunch of games that went in that direction, all ended up being abandoned without reaching a decent state (Triple X Tycoon, Porno Studio Tycoon... I've seen a dev thread for a pornsite game here, but I don't remember its name). And since earlier this year I discovered that AI had become pretty good at turning prompts into code, I decided to give it a go.
The goal is basically to make a Football Manager/Total Extreme Wrestling for porn. I'm more interested in spreadsheet simulators than 'tycoon' games, so that's the direction of the game at the moment, and I'm using PyQt because of that, since the graphics I plan to use (and already use in some places) are only static images. I imagine more dedicated stuff, like sex animation and the like, could be handled by it, but probably wouldn't be the ideal.
In any case, the project is open source. Contributions, suggestions, and feedback, either for the game itself or the project more generally, are welcome and highly appreciated. I've been driving its development so far, for obvious reasons, but I'm not against turning it into a community project or letting someone else steer it.
It's not very well setup for collaboration, as I don't even have a README yet, but I've been trying to improve documentation lately and I'm sure we can make it work.
I'm not going to sell the game (not that I believe it will reach a point where it would be sellable) and I'm not going to set up a Patreon or anything of the sort. Just to make clear that I won't be making any money off your contributions. And if you instead want to take whatever you deem salvageable from this and do your own thing, you are obviously welcome to as well, as long as you comply with all licenses.
My intention was to post the newest build with this message, but since I cannot post links (need to have made 3 posts beforehand) and I don't want to be seen as skewing the rules by breaking them up or posting several messages in one go, I'll just say that you can search for Porn Studio Mogul in GitHub (or shoot me a message).
To run it via console you need to clone or download the repository, install everything listed in requirements.txt, and then run it via python.
The F95 logo/link in the packaged release leads to the main page because I hadn't set up this post yet when I compiled it, but since I will probably need to compile it again for some hotfix I'll just wait for that.
The game is not in an enjoyable state to be played for now. All data definitions: traits, tags, viewer groups, AI studios archetypes, etc are in a very barebones state and need to be expanded in its content and interactions. AI studios themselves are still not able to actually cast people, they simply release scenes with appropriate tags. Interactive events are deactivated following a rework of the production settings. Release is an immediate, one-button action that gets an immediate, single-instance payment. Balancing is very much non-existent. UI/UX is all over the place... It's in development and you should try it if you are interested in participating in said development, but not otherwise.
I don't know if it works at all in anything other than Windows 10/11.
I'll be posting updates and (hopefully) answering to feedback and questions, either here or over at GitHub.
Here are some screenshots.
