What are in your opinion the most original games here on f95? And I mean done in any engine renpy, rpgmaker, twine, you name it.

That's only relative to when a game was launched, Witch Trainer was unlike anything being made in 2014(?) but now trainers are plenty, Hopes made an original Mafia based story game, but now everyone and their landladies has a story-focused game (even those are only innovative if you consider only the western market of that time).

Although I would anything that is not a slice-of-life/modern-day setting or a generic fantasy land is already fairly original.

There was a truly mad arty one about a lesbian shagging a tree or something... can't remember the name unfortunately. I think it was funded by Illinois and had won art prizes. Now that was original!

For the story and gameplay I would say Areas of Gray

I am sure there are alot more but these are the once's that came first to mind.
In my experiance: 90% of the content on f95zone are poorly written stories with 2 or 3 dialog choices that dont effect anything.

I always stumble upon the "trainer" term on this forum but still can t grasp what it is about. Can Summertime saga or punch club be consider trainer games? Basically games where you grind everyday with activities of sort?

The Intoxicating Flavor for one.. Reluctant Archon

 

[hyper321]

The DeLuca Family by HopeGaming. The mafia-based story is unique enough, it's the the writing and character design that really sets it apart from basically every other game on this site.

Trainer games are games about training targets into something.
Useally it is woman being turned into eager and willing sex slave's but there are execptions.
The idea behind trainers however is that you train a target into thinking and acting a certian way.
It difference from corruption in that corruption you manipulate, corrupt and alter someone point of view (often indirectly).
Where in trainer you are outright teaching them to think and act a certian way.
For example: turning your mother into a sex starved slut by careful selection of words and deed is corruption.
Teaching her to be a sex starved slut is trainer.
It is the act of training a target to behave the way you want.

Too bad it was abandoned quite early, but it features a kind of trading card game which is actually fun to play in itself, rather than just for the porn / story aspects.

I’m generally not overly impressed with the original stuff here. That doesn’t stop me from playing of course, I’m starved for content and some of this stuff hits my specific fetishes. I’ve recently posted a lot about making my own stuff, but I’ve given up on that as of this morning.

But I think that’s an over-all problem in the H-game community- people stick to what’s popular. The west likes incest harem renpy games, and the east like female mc rape/corruption rpgmaker games. Personally, I think we need a big shakeup to change things, such as developers that are established moving to bigger, more involved projects, or some of the developers right on the edge of h-games (Senran Kagura and Omega Labyrinth devs, for example) to just jump in. With Subverse coming up, I’m curious if that sets any new standards or the like, or inspires other devs.

Right now, I think we’d be better off developing more translators for Japanese stuff and using our buying power to move the genre forward. I’d argue animation and moving away from Renpy and RPGmaker are things we should push for.

But I think that’s an over-all problem in the H-game community- people stick to what’s popular.

Maybe, but there are plenty ways to avoid the "classic" incest setting: "short young guy with huge dick fucks his entire family", which is, I agree, boring.

But the problem there is in the concept, scenario and writing, not in the engine.

Frankly, I think Ren'py is just about perfect for a VN. As an engine, it can feel a bit bland, but it does exactly what it needs to do. Unity VN's on the other hand are struggling to implement things such as "skip text", "rollback" etc.

And in my opinion, a VN is a better way to tell an erotic story than trying to bring in some gameplay elements, which generally just lead to unnecessary grinding, frustration and loss of time.

With incest, I just mean using it as a draw at all- seriously, I think at least 1/3rd of games on this site could use that tag honestly.

As far as renpy and VN games, I think my biggest issue is that so many end up being click grinds that I’d rather just watch something than deal with playing it. Look at something like Glassix- getting around the map is a complete and total mess, and pointlessly convoluted. I also like repeatable scenes, but I don’t like having to grind through the same scene five times to get to the next one. Of course, most of what I said here can apply to RPGmaker and other stuff too.

I’ve said it many times, and I’ll keep saying it too, we are past the point of skipping out on animations, especially ifthe dev is making money.

Maybe it's just me, but I'd rather play a game with an original and well-written story (but without animations) than one with great animations but a bland story.

What I think is really missing is marketing budget and a good sales platform.

 

[freebirdfreebird]

Yeah, we differ there, because while I do want a passable story, that’s not why I come to H games. Even then, I feel like it’s the same story repeated, over and over.

Hollywood stopped making original movies a long time ago, with few exceptions. It's safer to do sequels, or remakes of titles that have an existing fan-base. Comic book movies everywhere.
Being original is risky, doing something that no one has ever done before takes guts.

Games have it even worse than movies. What you can do in games designed to work on specific hardware, within the confines of an oppressive operating system severely handicaps creativity. Very few game devs are willing to go off the reservation, and make their own hardware, and operating systems that are required to make something extraordinary.

... https://f95zone.to/threads/bad-intentions-v0-2-evil-toddler.5162/ no one said originality was good.

Joke aside XXXivilization https://f95zone.to/threads/xxxivilization-ch-2-0-hw21.9224/ is pretty original (despite it being sort of a parody of civ 2).

Mike Velesk's games are also original in that he build the engine himself. The scenario in Total Seduction might not exactly be the most original, but the game and the gameplay is quite unique.

I think, I also have to mention Timdonehy200's games. It's not a single element like the muscle fetish, but the whole package that makes it rather original.

Regarding the gameplay itself I also have to mention https://f95zone.to/threads/princess-conquest-v0-16-20-towerfag.602/ how the nations are at war with each other and how they react to your actions is certainly a unique aspect among games on this site.

Hornblase is still developing his game of magical girls. He's just bad at communication and PR, it's currently in version 0.07, but this site only has 0.03. I'd say that game is also rather unique in everything including the surreal graphics.

*edit*
Maybe I'm a bit of a bubble boi not venturing into the most hardcore of fetishes... so there are a lot of games that I'll have missed or just left out, as I don't regard them as the most "original". One of the games I forgot to mention but I definitely feels deserve to be mentioned in the context of originality:
https://f95zone.to/threads/dandy-boy-adventures-v0-4-2-dandyboyoni.16255/
The scenario is pretty cookie cutter (at the moment), but it seems to be branching out to some different stuff (in a good way). The originality for me lies in the experience itself (and the aesthetics).
