It's never really been a language barrier issue with their games for me. Yep, some translations suck ass. We all know that.Also japanese games have the language barrier, that even with a good translation, it usually leads to worse writing
However, even going back and looking at the original in the cases I have issue with one of their works doesn't tend to make it any better.
It simply comes down to some writers want to tell a story and other writers want to get to the sex scene or maybe it is their shitty publisher that pushed it that way or whatever. I haven't looked that deep into their reasoning.
This post of mine probably also should be more directed at the newer developers.
Even there when language is a barrier it usually isn't at fault for this issue.
I tend to get different vibes off different developers when it comes to their games.100% of novel devs are guys. They believe in all sorts of nonsense. For example, in corruption. They believe that the girl is initially pure. The very concept of sexual purity is very firmly seated in the minds of young boys. A female heroine can't just fall in love. A male developer subconsciously does not allow the thought of such a thing. He subconsciously puts himself not in the place of the female heroine, but in the place of her boyfriend. In such games, there is ALWAYS a boyfriend. This is the developer's alter ego. And there are always corruption points. Because the developer perceives any behavior of a woman as treason to himself - as something vicious.
In fact, today there is not a single psychologically purely female game. Beauty and the Thug is the only attempt I know of.
Some you can clearly tell are virgins never got laid in their life. They have no clue about picking up women, dating, relationships, hell they don't even know women's squirt is mostly if nothing but piss. Not a single one of their games is worth play.
Then you have guys that simply hate women. You can tell they have been picked on or a woman hurt them in life or something and they have an absolute hatred in how they perceive women. It's visible in the writing, how they portray women, the options they create for female characters to make and so on.
Then you have the white knight fucks who want to write a harem game and every girl he fucks he pops her cherry. I think that's the one's you are referring to.
The most prolific are the clearly general basement dwellers. They still live at home with their parents. They clearly don't get out and have isolated themselves from the world for any number of reasons. They may have had a relationship or two or a female friend who was their life line to reality while they were still in school but now she shows up maybe every so often.
Every author tends to give away parts about themselves in their writings. Even the most famous do. Good writers often write about what they know or from a view point they understand. So it isn't a bad thing to give away such information it can't really be helped. That said it can also show when most writers are writing outside of their zone of experience or knowledge what frame of mind they are in or a view point they have.
If you take a look at prostitutes most of them tend to see men as a means to an end or a tool in which to get money. Hint don't fall in love with one.
I tend to think adult game development has a similar angle it attracts people who are sexually or immature when it comes to relationships. They have often been hurt in some way be it rejections or purely just over looked as viable candidates... and so on.
If they just came for the porn there would be no need for NTR to start with NTR doesn't exist without a story. Same for any other story type. Corruption isn't something you can easily show with a slide show and no dialog. I can go through a entire list of genre on this debate. I hope you can as well knowing the fallacy of the argument. Truth is if they are just here for the porn they aren't the intended audience and should take a hike and go to a porn site. All they need is a slide show. If you came to a game site you are here for the story which is what makes the difference between a game and porn especially when it is an RPG or VN. Sure there are your games like games where you touch and solve puzzles and other crap that don't involve any story at all. But they aren't what we are talking about.This isn't exclusive to NTR. Most porn writers go through this. Every single story is full of contrivances to get to the end goal of sex. People come for the porn in these games so actually developing the characters and their relationships ends up boring a large portion of the audience. You have people who do care about development but then you have people who just want to masturbate so the author is often forced to skim on details. Especially since money is usually involved in the development of these games. Since money is involved, the author is at the whim of their biggest paying audience usually to the detriment of the product. That's one thing I dislike about the current model of paying monthly for updates during game development. It puts the highest payers over integrity. Characters can be switched up between updates due to the audience's reaction to them.
The fact is if the game is RPG, VN or even management in nature you have to expect the story and that is the point of those games. If not why bother making it just make a slide show or a puzzle game and move the hell on. If you want to create for an intended audience then act like you actually intend to serve that audience and fuck everyone who isn't a part of that audience.
The entire rest of the service, manufacturing, and retail industry in the world understands this concept. But only here in the adult industry are people too stupid as not to figure that shit out.
I'm saying it is more prevalent is all not that it doesn't go on other places.To be fair most creators tend to do something very shitty at the start, cause lack of experience, no prior planning or they literally suck at writing.
It isn't something about NTR or not, it's just how it is, many people just directly jump into developing a game without working a bit their skills or preparation, even worse when they start with a game that would need an expert on all aspects to actually end up as something good.
It's kind of the reason why most games end up abandoned or need some rework.
It doesn't have to be though. Consider that there are many forms of NTR. Ever played a game were you stole a love interest from someone else as the MC. Most people don't even consider or realize that is NTR. Most people consider it only NTR if it happens to the player.Boring and predictable doesn't quantify a good writer, but thats what ntr storylines are. "ntr game" pigeon holes the project towards certain content that draws in that audience, since they have expectations from other ntr games and how the game is being portrayed as one.
No good writer is going to subject themselves to it preferring to make a normal game with some ntr elements in it.
But lets look at a game from the player stand point:
You get a flat front right tire it causes your steering to pull sharp unexpectedly you hit the wall and come to a stop. You try cell phone but there are no bars were you are at. A passing car stops and offers to call you a toe when they get to their home at the next exit. The toe truck shows up pulls you to the nearby town. Still no cell service. They tell you they can fix your car it will take a few days at the local shop. You can even speed that up and get on your way if you don't want them to fully fix the fender and want to wait to do that when you get to your destination. But either way the tire needs to be replace and the damage to the front suspension needs to be done. It will save you a day or two not waiting on the fender. So its your choice.
You can spend the time you have there as you choose go site seeing, look at history, eat, rest... whatever and during that time you can start a relationship with various women. But you don't have to after all you have another destination. You can start one there with the women you encounter there. The NTR could come in various forms. Depending on the relationship you choose it could be one you experience or it could be one you cause someone else to experience. Either way you would have no idea as to what is coming until you went through it. In fact some routes would work out next to perfect for you but if you seen it from another view it could be very different. It could be even something you do with intent such as you choose to be an asshole and maybe isolate the female you have a relationship with from her family and friends. That close relationship she had is stripped away from her and the other person all because you chose to be an asshole.
Can games like that be made sure as hell can and it wouldn't be that hard.
The problem is no one wants to put that much effort into it.
I've seen more creative writing on the back of a cereal box.
