Western vs Anime style

[Lufi-X]

Hello, I'm a wannabe erotic game developer, and I'm having a game idea since some time. But I'm curious about something. In this forum, the majority of games that I've seen so far until now, is (almost) photorealistic 3D. And I thought that anime style was preferred. So before starting my game development and publishing here I really want to ask you guys. Do you prefer realistic 3D or Anime like porn? Just to have some references about your taste, since my game was planned to be 3D Anime style.

i think you'll find that all type of artwork/visuals have at least a few games/VNs which are extremely popular/successful. so at the end of the day, what matters the most is the content of the game(story, characters, mechanics, etc.), no matter what type of visuals you use.
and by 3d anime, do you mean honey select/koikatu?

I suggest you to add an "I don't have a preference" option in your poll.

As you can probably notice in my sig, my favorite style is that anime toon-ish 3D style from Koikatsu. Not sure if by "3D Anime style" you meant Koikatu but any Koikatu game has a big incentive for me to play it. The standard in this business and probably the people's favorite is DAZ, the photorealistic 3D you mentioned.

Personally, besides my love for Koikatu as I just mentioned, the last thing I care about a game is what kind of art it uses. If the thread's game is well done, the overview seems interesting and the sample images are nice with good looking characters, you will have my attentions regardless if it's DAZ, HS, 2DCG, 3DCG, or whatever.

Yeah, like Koitaku. 2DCG.
Honey Select is a bit of midterm imo since it's a bit more realistic, but still fantasy.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm new to this forum so I didn't know Daz.
So I'll proceed to make my game on 3DCG, and do my best on it!

For me:
Anime: Over the top, japanseese, hyper active girls on a constant sugger rush.
Hentai girls do look great but whenever i see one i fear the above mention personality traits those games seem to have.

Western cartoons are a bit more believable.
No oversized tits, hyperactive girls jumping all over the place.
I mean sure they could but i havent seen it outside of super heroes cartoons.

3d is the best for porn because it create's pleasent shapes and doesnt have a normal equivelant.
There skin is also more enjoyable(some of the greatest has skin flaws like mother sports or a minnor hole)
They look more alive and like people and less like hyperactive flawless skin with moonsize boobs hiding in flat chested robes.

It is hard to described but cartoon and anime are to flawless, to perfect.
It makes them seem unatural.
Where 3d tent to be more rough skined and more down to earth.
Making a 3d woman do a 360 degree flip and ninja kicking a dragon across the universe would just not work.

I *prefer* anything that isn't DAZ, although I have seen a few games made using DAZ that are done well. Characters made using DAZ have ugly skin, hands, feet, and vaginas that turn me off a lot. With Honey Select, any face not made by roy13mods is a turn off, but at least with those games, I can distract myself with decent looking tits. Koikatu is the same as Honey Select in that regard.

But don't listen too much to me, I'm definitely a minority. Just here blowing off some steam.

Keep in mind that 2DCG games will pretty much be like this. Character sprites talking with some background. Sex scene CG. Repeat. This type of gameplay goes well with dating sims and such. The game should be character focused.

3DCG can show dynamic scenes. Pretty much any kind of game can be made with 3DCG. It's honestly probably easier to do also, since 2D art is more expensive and takes longer.

That said, some of my fav games are 2DCG. Mostly Lilith stuff (Taimanin, Kangoku Senkan, etc). Hentai can depict the most obscene and depraved stuff that 3DCG cannot.

Before you jump out by that
check out your tool and your skill too
pick daz Illusion or drawing
and feel it that which one will suit you

For me...
no matter what I want to do
If I don't like or feel comfortable with it
I can't continue to do it for long...

and for the topic
3d or 2d western or Japanese
it doesn't matter
good art is good art and that is subjective
I love many games in all that suit my taste
If your work good it will payout no matter what way you choose
