Make your own story, friend. If you aren't in love with the story you are telling, it will show in the product. Don't let patrons (or, worse, F95 users) direct your game.

That's not how you make a game or VN, honestly, especially when it comes to something as subjective as taste and fetish. Make what you want to make. If you want to make a VN about a rapist, then make it. If you want to make a VN about a brother and sister corrupting the rest of their family, make it. It'll attract the crowd that want that type of content naturally. If you make a project based on what other people want, it'll show. It'll feel surface, in the best case. This is your VN. Not F95's VN. Not Patreon's VN. Yours. Your story, your art/renders, and your ideas. Don't let a crowd control what you make, it defeats the whole purpose of being an artist - in any medium.

Stop focusing on Renpy/Daz for a while, formulate a plan and story, and then act on it.

Somebody wants to make a game but doesn't have ideas? There's a novel concept. Usually ideas are a dime a dozen and actually making the game is the hard part. But if you're really asking I'd be happy to share some of the concepts I've had.

Since it's your first project you should do something short and relatively simple. In that case I have an idea for a fairly contained incest story. A son is in love with his mother, but has to get through his father first. He goes on his father's computer looking for blackmail material only to find dear old dad has a thing for traps. Being the effeminate but well endowed (it's porn, so duh) young man he is the MC decides to first seduce his father and then use that to create an opening to sleep with his mother. The game would only need 3 stats to produce impactful choices, and make a story that can be told over a relatively short period of time. Relationship with mother, relationship with father, and femininity. The first 2 would decide how the story ends, and would be determined by inner dialogue choices and interactions. High relationship with mom but low with dad results in mom leaving him for you etc etc. Maybe throw in a high mom medium dad ending where she only sleeps with mc and dad gets cucked (or feminized) just because there's going to be complaints about ntr anyways. Femininity would determine how into being a trap you are and whether you keep it up in the epilogue. While this would double the ending scenes it's also pretty easy to do. Between interactions and MC deciding how he feels about being a trap, and sex with his dad, the whole thing could be handled with 10-20 decisions and very little branching would be needed until the end.

That's good advice, thanks

Questions like these go in the General Discussions section. Moving.

Apologies, i did have a good look at where to post.. there were alot of options lol.

Write about stuff you like. There will come a moment in development when you're staring blankly at your monitor, having second thoughts - actually finishing a project is hard - and if you're doing something you're not into, you might not keep going. How many projects die in development or stagger out to the v0.1 finish line (and then realize it's a starting line) and die there?

 

[woody554]

yeah, what everybody else said. the development is so much grind to survive the several years it's gonna take that there's absolutely no chance in hell you can do it if it doesn't cater to YOUR fetishes. that is the fuel that can keep you going, nothing else. that is the one thing you can never get bored of.

also focus on that one thing. do NOT add other fetishes (you don't share) NOR more girls. it's too much work, you'll burn out and abandon game like 999 or every 1000 devs. the workload is at least 10x more than you can imagine even if you think you're being conservative with your estimate. EVERYBODY makes that mistake.

What I want to see - Incest, Group Relationship (It's similar to the harem, but I want all of them to romantically love each other.), Romance, Limited amount of LIs (The less the better for me.)

What I don't want to see - NTR, Cuckold, Sharing, Any kind of violence toward LIs, Rape
