What do you think of my Game Idea? Is it dumb?

[LovePlayFantasy]

Hello everyone! This is my first post here on this website. I am enjoying so many of the games here, and it's inspired me to also try and make a game.
I am a newbie when it comes to game development so I am pretty nervous about getting started. I really want to get it right!

Do you think anyone would be interest in a horror eroge game about incest?

It wouldn't be a long game, maybe 20 minutes but I'm not sure if the horror genre would scare people off. People have told me that maybe I should make a game that I like, but i also want people to play my game! I'd rather someone have fun playing my game than making a game for myself, if that makes sense?

So i would really appreciate the communities input so I can make something maybe you guys would enjoy? Thank you so much for letting me know !

it would depend mostly on the type of incest and its implementation.

I doubt the horror part is a deal-breaker for anyone, unless you mean some sexual kink landing on that territory. but horror itself will probably just be viewed as background, in a positive way. at least your game is about SOMETHING.

that said, making the game YOU want to play will always show positively in the result. where as doing what you don't care for will suck both for you but also for everybody else. because your heart is not in it.

Sounds interesting, but for these kinds of games, we all know it's the quality of the artwork that's going to make people be the most interested.

not true. people who hate incest will never play incest. people who love ntr will always play ntr. people without gay component won't touch gay games. people who hate scat won't touch scat games.

quality of art is rarely relevant. of course nice to have...but people who love mom/son incest will check out a bunch of stick figures crudely boinking each other and going: "What are you doing! I am your mother, this is so wrong!"

when it's about sex, it's always, always, always about the kinks people have. and their specific deal-breakers.

This is my type of art, do you think it's passable? I know there's so many better artists out there.

I think that is very true. I wanted to make a game about a world being overtaken by evil monsters, so your sister depends on you for survival and you end up getting *diggy* with it.

Thank you so much for the kind words! I am a little sad and happy that I find more support on here than my IRL friends. Again thank you so much ^.^

it's far above the usual level we see here. if you can do the same also in functional poses instead of these pin-up poses, you're all set.

I have autism but you must have a stronger kind than I do, because you somehow extrapolated "quality of artwork matters most" into "if the artwork is good enough straight men will masturbate to gay porn". I obviously didn't mean that (I never even thought my statement could be interpreted that way lol).

This is my type of art, do you think it's passable? I know there's so many better artists out there.

It's decent for a first game. If I was you would would look at the artwork of other artists for things that are specifically for the niche you pointed out (if their artwork is liked by many) and look at the what they focus on and how they draw things.

For example, you ever notice that for loli artwork they always make it look like their bodies are glistening (you know, that glossy effect), even their knees are glistening lol. IDK why the hell they do that, but it has to be because it appeals to that audience. I'm sure you'll notice some key things like that when you look. If incest is already your fetish then this will come easier to you, as some of these things will automatically come to your mind.

If you can hit those key "arousal triggers" then the quality of your artwork will matter less. Of course some of those triggers can only be achieved with high quality artwork. If I was ever going to draw porn, I would only draw the things that are my fetish, because it would be easier for me to see if it's hot or not.

Don't try to make your first game(s) a crowd pleaser, it will rarely work out well.
And especially if you make a short game, you'll be more successful with kinks you know and like and therefore can portray better.

Also your art is good enough that you can establish your own niche with the kink combinations you like.

sounds fine if both are safely in their late teens. brother/sister is the second most popular incest fantasy after mom/son, and not far behind.

It's true, but for example, a game about bondage will always be better if made by someone that is actually into bondage. This is because they will know exactly what about it turns people on. Could this work in general too, or is it only for specific kinks?
I'm not into incest, so I don't know, maybe there is nothing else to it than the "What are you doing! I am your mother, this is so wrong!".

I don't see why not. If you have the idea and everything you need to make that idea into a reality, then just go for it. There's no harm in just trying something. If it's a success then that's great. If it's a failure, chances are you'll be able to walk away with something you can use for the next thing you want to do. If there's literally no risk, other than time being potentially wasted then don't listen to what others in your personal life have to say and don't let them get in your head. It just adds more pressure to yourself and becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy of failure. I wish I had realized that myself a lot sooner.

If it's just something you want to try, then all the more reason to just go for it. Why not? If it's something you want to do to make a living then just have to take the first step: work on it, put it out, analyze the feedback with thick skin, then make a banger the next time around. Then become an arrogant a-hole raking in thousands on Patreon lol.

...But anyways yea, art looks decent and premise sounds interesting. As long as the grammar and spelling are decent then I'm sure it'd be something I'd want to play. By the way, I think it's "jiggy" not "diggy" as in "gettin' jiggy with it". It might be spelled "giggy" but whatever.

Thats good advice! I gotta show off the "good bits" basically is what you're saying right?

Really?! Like you really think so?! Thank you so much for the support. I really want to cry because this is my first post but everyone is so supportive and nice. I will try my best <3

Yes! It would definitely be adults!

I think you got the appeal right lol I personally just enjoy how Taboo it is.

Well, if you enjoy it, then you are probably the right person to make a game about it.

Oh? Is it jiggy? I thought it was Diggy, like "No Diggity"

You must be registered to see the links

or she's "diggin me"
Thank you for the kind words. I will try and not let the pressure get to me. It's just a little hard when people judge you harshly for your kinks/tastes but I will do my best! Thank you so much!
