What would you say are the most historically significant adult games?

[woody554]

I'd say Big Brother practically defined the incest genre, with Icstor's Incest Story being the real start of it. (As far as I know)

there were like hundreds of japanese VNs where you fucked the mom/little sister/aunt/mom's twin sister decades before BB.

 

[EstadoYSociedadGriegos]

Thanks for the feedback! Added Lula: The Sexy Empire, Slave Maker, Corruption of Champions, Big Brother. I'm on the fence about the others since I didn't find much online about their historical significance, also no Wikipedia articles or MobyGames entries. Does anyone else vouch for these games (and ideally explain why they were important for the ones that were just name-dropped):

Icstor's Incest Story
Date Ariane
Dating My Daughter
Anti-Demon Ninja Asagi
Milfy City
Violated Heroine
Lonarpg
Sim-bro
Good Girl Gone Bad

You make a good point, but that's why I said defined the genre. (For western VNs, anyway) Astro Boy came before Dragonball, but guess which one everyone considers as the genre-defining shonen manga.

This got me wondering not sure if you found this or not looks like it lists Jap and western porn games,dev's,platforms...

You must be registered to see the links

When it comes to most influential its pretty hard to narrow that down with out comparative stats some made money, some were just about on every porn player's machine that made no money making those games influential in a different sense.

skyrim

yeah, youre totally right. I installed like 20 sex mods into my skyrim like 7 years ago. With mods, skyrim became a porn game.

And why should it be Skyrim that get the honor, when Morrowind was the first to get lewd mods (I don't remember if there were actual sex mods), and Fallout 3 the first to get a sex framework, and therefore actually bring sex as an actual game feature that can involve every part of the environment?

skyrim is the most modded game of all time. There are tens of thousands of mods for it. Until skyrim, modding was very niche, and relatively unknown

 

[Dryme]

Ah, Skyrim and its 2000 mods for sex. A paradise for crazy perverts

 

[anne O'nymous]

skyrim is the most modded game of all time. There are tens of thousands of mods for it.

There's a hundred of mods for it, and more than a hundred and half if you count both the original and Special edition. But it don't change the fact that it's not the first game of The Elder Scrolls series to have sex mods, nor the fact that The Elder Scrolls series isn't the first Bethesda series to have sex mods.

Until skyrim, modding was very niche, and relatively unknown

Something being relatively unknown to you doesn't mean that it was relatively unknown from the rest of the world.

There's more than thirty five thousands mods for Fallout New Vegas, more than thirty thousands for Oblivion, more than fifteen thousands for Fallout 3, and more than ten thousands for Morrowind, to just name Bethesda games.
NexusMods was created in April 2011, but come from TESSource, a site created around 2003 by and for the Morrowind modding community. A site that later became TESNexus, around 2007/2008, before it definitively cease to be dedicated to The Elder Scrolls series and started to act as a central point for all the modding communities.
I don't remember precisely, but within the few first months, it already hosted mods for more than twenty games. And, while the date of publication don't necessarily correspond, most of NexusMods' mods for Bethesda games released before 2011 come from the archives of the two original sites.
Then, two months after NexusMods final switch, loverslab was created by the part of the Fallout modding community that worked on sex mods, because NexusMods was more strict regarding the hosted content.
And all this happened before Skyrim release in November 2011...

Going outside Bethesda games, the Sims games have always been modded to the extreme, and Sims 4 in particular probably has a bigger modding community than Skyrim. It's just more spread out.

 

[tooldev]

Oh boy you are too young if the list doesnt include the Lula series. First one was published some late 90s if I recall correct. Not to list all the strip poker games before that...

Thanks you to force me out of Bethesda games. I was so focused on what he said that I forgot Half Life, that had an active modding community, and before it Doom, the original, that is the oldest modding community that exist.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has nearly 70,000 mod submissions on Nexus Mods and 28,000 in the Steam Workshop. This isnt even counting LoversLab or Asian modding sites.

I think youre the one with faulty info darlin

 

[josefwest]

skyrim

ok, I'm lost on this one.

 

[anne O'nymous]

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has nearly 70,000 mod submissions on Nexus Mods [...]

Once again, and?
The fact that it's a vastly modded game (I mean, there's near to 100,000 mods on NexusMods for Skyrim Special Edition) doesn't mean that mods didn't existed before, nor that they didn't had vast communities.

To not stay focused on Bethesda, ModDB was created in 2002... But I guess that it wasn't to host mods since it's 9 years before Skyrim release. There you can find mods like Absolute Redemption, that is the best mod for Half-life and probably one of the best mod whatever the game, that was finalized in 2009. But I guess that it stayed totally unnoticed for two years...
And of course there's the oldest modding community, the Doom one. DoomWorld was created in 1998, and include an archive from the idgames FTP. A FTP created in 1993 to serve as central reprository for the mods made for Doom and Doom II. I probably still have, somewhere in the mess of my youth, some CD that came with computer magazines, and include a selection of the best Doom mods of the month/year.

Doom

I see you talking about this game all the time. Is she your favorite? Do you like to just walk and shoot?

 

[ciaqoo]

Does it really matter which were historically significant ? And for whom - for lewd historians ?
I think a bit different question would be more interested for gamers.

What piece of content marking new trends for future in adult game industry/diy ?

Some modern adult games have really high quality visual content.
I think some VN for Renpy marking milestones for future cos they are open sourced. Combined with high quality visuals setting new levels of interactivity for adult industry. We can now interact in "passive mode" just by playing the game or we can modifying them in "active mode" of interaction.
So for now prerendered content is the king in adult genre imho, but maybe we will see soon something of high quality in Unreal too or in Unity and historically significant for the future ? Who knows ?

And second question - which tools for adult games creation were historically significant ?

I think RenPy set a milestone in a line of future tools for adult games.
Every high quality content game is even more spicy if we can modifying it easy way cos unpacker and decompiler tool is available too. Games which are not open sourced are closed chapter in adult genre imho.

Effective extracting 3d rigged models from pics tool would be next signifiicant milestone i bet. But maybe few years we will have to waite for such tool with high quality output.

Sorry if my input here will be seen as offtopic but i couldn hold myself.

 

[anne O'nymous]

I see you talking about this game all the time.

Far to be all the time, and when I name it it's just because, will being only the third-fourth FPS, it's the first one to use real 3D, to have multi height maps and to not feature a basic labyrinth for the said maps. Said otherwise, it's just the father to all 3D games that are now the norm in video games.

 

[woody554]

Does it really matter which were historically significant ?

.........yes. that's the topic. and all the games he listed were exactly that. (unlike most other games that were mentioned). if you want to talk about some historically insignificant but great games you can always start a thread for it.
