What kind of quality are you looking for in 3D games?

[Ethernar Universe]

I mean, we've all played games developed with Unreal Engine or Unity 3D, which aren't visual novel games. What kind of quality are you looking for when playing those games? Is it storytelling, optimization, adult scenes, or is freedom important?

How do you weigh the balance between gameplay duration versus content richness and depth?

Do you prefer games that are strictly linear in their storytelling, or those that offer branching narratives and multiple endings?

It may be not the answer you want but I don't think quality is as important as consistency. define a standard and do everything the same way so it's visually coherent. game like "roundscape" really put me off sometimes because of how drastically different the art style are.

I hate 2d hand-drawing and anime artstyled pictures. 3D ART Quality from " Tales from the deep: EVE" - this my IDEAL.

Games are the sum of their parts, so it's hard to give a definitive answer, a well written story on a piece of paper will be more erotic than most pornos, that can be further enhanced with still images which can then be further enhanced with animations which is then further enhanced with good quality animations.

Hero Party Must fall is a great example of build up for the heroine even if the graphics aren't the best and I'm not even an ass man but the way the ass cheeks move in Heart Problems is just sublime.

Storytelling, optimization, adult scenes... all of them are important for sure. But one is more important and it is bug-free! No one wants to play a buggy sh*t with terrible glitches.

actual cutscenes instead of seeing snap animations to sex scene, also more actual gameplay that isnt shooting a bunch of enemies til you hit a certain number proceeded by sex scene

A good porn experience (game/story/vid/comix etc) is a combination of many factors: technical factors (pretty girls, smooth animations, etc'), story (characters, plot) and fetishes. Such a product can be very strong in one aspect but weaker on others, but the best porn products are at least of adequate quality in all aspects.

Having said that, a porn product with good visuals probably holds an initial advantage over other products, with less impressive visuals but on the long run, even products with less than stellar visual appeal can succeed if they possess good storytelling, likeable characters, compelling gaming mechanism etc.

Finally: good visuals are usually expensive (artist/hardware) while other factors (again: story, game rules etc) can be much cheaper and require much less investment to yield great results on the long run.

Good luck!

To not be cringy as possible and not frying my PC, in other words - be optimized

Thank you for the comments, guys.

My team and I are currently developing a vast universe with a compelling story. The game will feature battle mechanics reminiscent of the "Souls" series, in-game interactive animations, in-game story animations, 3D CG render animations, and illustrations as content. I wanted to gather a general idea of what people are looking for. Personally, I've played probably more than 400-500 adult games. I've collected a wealth of data to create a fantastic game that's accessible to everyone.
