Yeah, I found her game kind of boring too, to be honest, but I tried it a long time ago, so maybe something has changed for the better since then. And honestly, I didn't care about the art, personally, the story itself is just weak for the most part.
Try Flexible Media games: Paradise Lust 1/2, Sinners Landing. Nice drawing style, vibe, characters and top writing. The developer also aims to release completed games within 3 years which is very rare here. PL1 is already completed.
it's not that hard to figure out. female protag + ntr + sandbox + rpgm, a huge portion of the potential players would outright refuse to play because of a single one of those tags, now add the other tags on top of it and the outreach of said game is greatly limited.
They are many small games in this site who are very underrated wich makes the support of this game more crazy.
You're probably right, I sometimes forget that people often value tags a lot. But what's wrong with a sandbox or rpgm? It doesn't seem to matter how good the execution is.
Sandbox games are notorious for being 'grindy' with Big Brother being basically a one game reason why that opinion cemented itself, doesn't matter if the sandbox game in question isn't actually grindy. Similar to RPGmaker, which people connect with gameplay, something that runs a bit counter when the reason they are playing is to rub one out. Now combine that together and you got a mix people are more likely to bitch about.
the main problem with sandbox is the fact that they are usually done incorrectly and solely implemented to stretch out the amount of the content that is included in the game. there are countless cases where games would be better off without the tedious sandboxes. for me rpgm lacks way too many basic features eg. rollback. rpgm games are usually lower resolution so when you play on a higher resolution display it kind of becomes a problem if you want to preserve quality of image.
No rollback, cannot save or load mid-conversation, no named saves, very often no conversation log.
Short answer: slow.
Also walking simulator games.
"Abandoned" is more of a categorical thing in this case. It's still being worked on, albeit so slowly it qualifies for the Abandoned tag
It's THEORETICALLY still being updated, as he streams himself doodling pictures for the game. But it's been 2 years since the last minor tweak update, and 2 years before that since the last content update.
It's been 18 months since the last update, otherwise the game would have been abandoned in January. And it hasn't been 4 years since the main story was finished.
My point is it seems that it doesn't even matter if there is a good story or good art at all. People seem to be too strict with filtering games in general and I don't understand why. This is a rhetorical question, but why is it crucial for the game not to have certain tags or an engine? Personally, I download about 1% of the games at best, and often just to give feedback to the dev. But not because of anything like tags, but because the average quality of the games is really low.
I agree with you in general, it's just that the approach can't be universal, there will always be exceptions.
My idea is that you're supposed to fap on porn, and fapping on that CG would be... oh... well, how about fapping on some little ponies' games? fapping on the smurfs boning Smurfette?
Good animation and good character design, something that most porn games dont have. You mostly choose between 3D grotesque designs with animation or good 2D designs with powerpoint animation
The Abandoned tag is a very powerful thing - it either shames developers into releasing something, anything at all - to get rid of it and save their revenue stream, or it serves as a warning to enjoy the game for what it is and not get too invested. Either way, it's a positive for the players.
