Re: Making an H game without the H part
You reading my mind.
But sadly, i'd have to remind about famous "hot coffe" mod for GTA:SA.
They realy attempted to make it the way you mentioned.
So i guess, unless you can PROOVE you have nothing to do with hentai mod development, the main game WILL be counted as a hentai game in legal terms afterall.
I don't really understand the point. Are you saying that if I make an H mod for a game the game will be considered an H-game even though the H-part wouldn't be included with the game itself?
In my experience, the result of a vanilla game getting hentai treatment seldom works and suffers from awkward execution.
For better or worse, H-games generally have a lower standard of gameplay quality, and that is largely due to the H-content requiring so much development time/effort that generally does not improve actual gameplay. In most cases, when a game adds H-content to an existing product it feels awkward and tacked on. When a game that is intended to be an H-game has a non-sex version it usually just seems like a worse than average vanilla game.
I really wish this sort of thing worked out better, but it rarely does. If you decide to pursue this project I wish you the best of luck, though. However, I'd suggest going with a pure hentai project OR a generic game instead of a hybrid.
Being honest here, you're right. I guess I would lean more towards making a pure hentai project, but the whole "having the h stuff separately" would be mostly so I could have a non-sex version that could be placed in a market that's not specific for H-games.
Like, for example, making an h-game then stripping the porn out of it. I'm more than sure that it wouldn't be as fun or good as a game of similar characteristics but without any effort used to add sex would be, but I'm not really sure I would be able to do it good enough if I don't add the sex.
The idea of this is less "making a game that can be played by everyone" and more "making a game that I can put for sale on some regular shop".
Probably Desura. Or at the very least I guess I would sleep a little slight bit more peacefully with regular sales through regular payment processors like most of the developers here seem to have set up.
*sigh* I don't even have anything started anyway. And knowing me, it should be really short and simple or I won't finish it.
How's 4 enemies + 1 boss, sprite sex sounds?
