-I don't like seeing romance with family members
Sure I'm degenerate enough to be into the incest fantasy, I'm not broken enough to want to see characters form romantic bonds with their mom or sis. Fucking them, corrupting them, training them? Sure. But trying to Marry your mom or sis or live in some fucked up family dynamic where your sis is your daughter and your mom is your gf just feels weird to me. And yes I know how this sounds. Find a way to retain the status quo but also having sexy-time with your fam at the same time.
Bro, this 100%. I find incest romance so fucking cringe. Also, there's nothing worse than going from calling your character's mom 'Mommy' to calling her by her name. That's a downgrade as far as incest is concerned. It's attempting to remove the incest from an incestuous situation which makes no sense when you're trying to make an incest game.

Some of my favorite incest games include Radiant, Dilmur, Depraved Awakening, Boxed In, House Arrest, Midlife Crisis, Kindread the Redburns, Mist, Play with Us Episode 2, Waifu Academy, and Sisterly Lust. I think it's great OP that you're looking to improve. The way I've become successful in my job is by mimicking what successful people do while also adapting their strategies to fit my own personal traits and strengths. If you haven't played any of the games I listed, I highly suggest playing a few just to see how other people successfully convey the incest in their games and think about how you want to create your game.

Games with less than 3 LI do very good. (Harem/Neighborhood-Orgy games desensitize the brain)

Games with corruption. (If it involves a cheating wife dynamic, will chart as the top 10 on the site automatically.)

Games with natural bodies. (No inflated hot air balloons, good art goes far.)

Games with good animation.

These type of games last the longest on this site. The bar is pretty low.

Most "hnnng step bro this isn't allowed, but why does it feel so right" porn is because people don't really know why two completely different people are banging. Okay you want a character to fuck a stranger, you gotta figure out a scenario, and a scenario where your mind fills in the gaps is probably more effective than the average writer is capable of.

I don't really get the kink, but I'd guess "well written" porn around anything specific can do one of two things, do generically good porn where it's basically just a label, or lean into the fetish and that would probably require a deeper understanding of its appeal than I'm interested in getting into.

I think most, if not all kinks, have "sub-groups" of people who like it for different reasons or in specific ways, so it's not that easy to give a fit all answer and some incest fans won't like what you make even if you are not actually doing anything wrong. I mean, you can see it already here, how some people reply in a way like "this is the way, of course", but then someone else replies "actually...". So, I think first you really have to identify what do you want to do with your game/story. You do that by asking yourself why do you like the kink in the first place, and I'm assuming you want to make an incest game/story because you like the kink yourself. And then look for popular games or content you like, it will help put things in perspective before you even consider other people's feedback.
As an example, not meant to be an attack on that user or something like that, just in case, but someone mentioned needing to have characters with natural bodies. But if you look around, you see stuff like Urban Demons, the other game from the same dev but in a zombie apocalypse (can't remember the name of the dev or game right now), Demon Deals, Jackerman's content and a ton of other classic incest content with huge thick MILFs. I mean, I'd go as far as saying mom-son incest content tends to be linked with thick huge MILFs more often than not.
Asking for feedback is great, I'm in the middle of doing the same, but you need at least a base idea of what you want to make and references of popular games or content done with those so you can filter the feedback.

As an incest connoisseur and a writer myself, I suggest the following points:

1. Do not make a harem out of it - there are a thousand games with MC fucking his sister(s), mom, aunt(s), cousin(s), etc. Select one or two family members, and focus on them. Having harems leaves less time for each woman, turning them into one-dimensional cardboard cutouts of characters.

2. Forget about the step-insertrelativename BS, only blood-relation (though Patreon is not happy about that kind of thing lately, the game might require an incest patch)

3. The commenters above mentioned corruption/overcoming the taboo thing, and it can work very well if done gradually and in a believable way, not an instant switch in the brain, "Oh no, I saw bro's dick in the shower. This is so wrong, but now I'm so horny for him."

4. The characters must have some history together - we are talking about people who lived under the same roof for years. Might be photos from some activities together, inside jokes, or rituals (like watching a movie with pizza every Friday). As the story progresses, these things might become lewder (for example, the movies turn spicier).

One incest game with good writing I played is Sisterly Lust.

With the premise about zombie apocalypse you outlined above, I advise avoiding repeating the Zombie's Retreat series - it is an example of a harem of one-dimensional characters whose only personality trait is to lust after the MC
Generally, this setting can provide many tense situations to help/characters depend on each other and build wholesome relations (if this is what you are going for).

Any incest doesn't happen instantly it takes lots of build up, tension, teasing & certain situation which develops that feeling so there are several stages of it.
So a game where mom has no character & is whore & fucks son immediately without any buildup is a shit game & that write don't know anything about erotic writing.
Character building is what differentiates between porn & high quality game.

Im going for a zombie apoclypse game that presents mom-son , brother-sister , aunt(paternal)-nephew
I designed the characters physically and mentally to cut it short ı can tell

Mom
nurse-pharmacist
short
big assed
lonely dependent protective
compassionate

Aunt
tanned
cop
paternal aunt
tough and teasing
testing - brave
tonned body - fit (tomboyish)
big breasts

Sister
younger than mc
mechanic (pretty much the only thing she's smart at)
silly and oblivous (naive)
cute and energetic
drop out
loves and trusts his brother
LUCKY

these are pretty much the main cast - family
there are other characters but ıdk if i should write it

and mc ı forgot him

MC
a bit skinny , tall
mischiveous - oppurtunist
horny
sly
loves his family and wants to protect them
20-21 years old


father of the family is a doctor , scientist that works with this virus , disease but he is in a coma for some reason (ı know the reason) and family members thinks that he tried to leave them and took away provisions and supplies
I can see you put some thought to it, but I wanna point out this is also exactly:

-thicc mom
-slut aunt
-sweet idiot little sister
-'dead' dad
-pervert loser son.

which is one mean big sister away from every incest house game ever made.

don't get me wrong, I don't think that's a bad thing. there's a reason why this formula is so incredibly popular. it just works, and it's what 90% of your audience looks for. add the mean big sister and you get 99%.

my point is: you could've gotten to the same result with zero work if you accepted the incest house genre tropes. that's how strong cliches are in genre writing. they're not a coincidence, they're best by test.

sure you'll get the odd rando commenter telling you how 'this is the same incest game again' like it was some novel insight, but even that guy is there only because he saw a new incest house game in the updates and instantly clicked on it.

The formula has barely changed since Big Brother.

Lmao I said exactly this and got chewed tf out on the "Home" thread.

Most important thing for me is a realistic sense of pace, like a slow build up for the story. When the both characters are just instantly into sex, it kind of ruins it because no real characters would act like that. Also if you can make the character have real personality that would make your game better than a lot of those already out there

Never agreed more. Romance with incest always felt like it was trying to make excuses. "Oh, I know it's wrong, but you've always been there for me, and I just love you so much" BARF. Why are you in love with your mom, weirdo? Family is just for fun, get an actual girlfriend. (also, a girlfriend who know you are fucking your family and is also into it makes it 10x hotter)
