i mean not canned animated spanking sequences in an otherwise (let's face it) unremarkable low-budget indie game, but a pure spanking sim where you just select options and jump straight into action, with no ludic elements. the focus will be on the process itself - detailed localized softbody sim of the impact (with a slo-mo closeup frame), skin effects (down to bleeding eventually), character reactions, custom pose mode, gaussian-splat environment. "spanking" here is just an umbrella term of course, as there will be specific advanced implements like canes, paddles, etc.
would there be a demand for a dedicated spanking sim?

Would there be a demand? Sure. (not from me, necessarily)
I mean, there have been several kinds of simulators that you are talking about that address different aspects of sexual gratification. Why would a spanking sim be less likely? There is no reason.
Would you be able to make a living off of it? Maybe. Maybe not.
If you want to make it because you want to see it realized - go for it. If you want to make it because you're tired of working a couple of part time jobs and think this could give you a steady paycheck - you might want to better invest your time in something more reliable.

I guess it depends on how much you want a demand for it versus you having a small niche group of people who want it.
There's a demand for everything, but the size of that demand may vary.
I like spankings, but I wouldnt care about something that's all about spanking.
Maybe make it like 50 Shades of Grey and you could be on to something.

As someone into spanking, it wouldn't appeal to me. The ludic elements are vital from my perspective.
I doubt it. skipping straight to the action shows a massive misunderstanding of bdsm. it's like thinking that having vanilla sex in latex boots was bdsm. it's taking the visual while discarding the actual internals of why people are interested in spanking.
people who are into spanking won't get what they look for, and spanking-only won't give tourists what they look for. who's left?

maybe some people like spanking just for for the raw visceral physicality of it, for how "fleshy" it is? i don't think it's the same as bdsm, necessarily, i.e. being in a master-slave relationship. backstory just gives it some justification, and possibly adds humiliation to the mix, but it'll also work with the spanker completely depersonalized (in fact, spanking machine is one of the spanking staple fantasies).
i can add an ai-generated backstory as an intro, will it help? i tried generating mini-backstories with grok, and they were quite decent in doing their job (other ais are to prudish for this subject).
would it also help to have ludic elements in the process itself, i.e. having to time the strokes, vary strength strategically to optimize some meters? they can have diegetic meaning ofc, i.e. you'd have make the subject realize their mistakes, feel sorry for bad behavior, etc
also, seems like japan is the #1 target audience by a huge margin, so i wonder what the preferences there are. most projects do have some gameplay, but maybe that's just because the simulation part wasn't pulling its weight.
nobody uses spanking machine alone at home. it would completely miss the point of being spanked.
it wouldn't.
I guarantee it wasn't.
it would center around shame and humiliation, that's the national fetish. and for that you need a story to set it up.

look. if you feel strongly that YOU want to see random spanking scenes with no context, you should absolutely do that. but it won't work for anyone with a spanking fetish BECAUSE there's no context tying it up into a power relation or humiliation fetish.
what you need is something like a story of a father with a bratty juvenile delinquent daughter who needs to be diciplined, you know, for her own good. or a headmaster who runs a school with an iron hand, only to be blackmailed by mean schoolgirls who tame the shit out of him. or an innocent virgin girl who walks into a meeting of dirty old bastards and gets punished for her insolence.
these are the kind of things spanking people are looking for, not the act of spanking alone. if you take the power relation out of it the spanking has no meaning.
i mean.. isn't it similar to "erotica" vs porn? i don't think people look for story or complicated interpersonal dynamics in porn; they just want action. and various kinks also have their "erotica" and "porn".
anyway, that was my third post, so i guess i should be able to post links now, and there's already some tech prototype i can show
