>I've been working on a trainer game

What kind? Text only, stolen art, own 2D art, 3D, daz?

1. Yes.

2. No.

3. No. I can do without all art, if the writing is hot.

4. No. If I wanted to play something for the actual gameplay, I'd just play a regular games. Focus on making as fap-able as possible.

5. No. I tend to avoid games that contain guro, scat, ntr etc., even when it's "optional".

>>52707

On the move now, but I'll answer:

I am writing and coding and paying for 2D art.

No NTR and releasing content every month would be a good start if you have a Patreon .

>>52704

1 Yes

2. Yes, provided that I can beat the game without a walkthrough. No time-limit features, no mini-games, no grinding/farming

3. No

4. Maybe?

5. I don't care, as long as I can hide the shitty content

Trainer I've enjoyed the most: Princess Maker II (DOS edition)

>>52712

>paying for 2D art

Sounds like a good start.

>>52705

Jack-o-nine-tails is the best at the moment. It comes closest to simulating a person with own character being trained.

>>52737

>What do you think those games could have done better?

Jack-o-nine-tails has too many redundant options, navigation is a chore, the slave images aren't consistent and slaves aren't unique.

In Slavemaker the training has no depth and most characters while unique still play the same as the training is mostly the same like you mentioned.

Mixing the strengths of slavemaker and Jack-o-nine-tails is a good approach.

Training inspired by Jack-o-nine-tails where apathy, depression, becoming spoiled, escaping and so on is possible.

Somewhat unique characters with own background story and events from slavemaker.

Based on that expand. Add meta game for long term progress, build the world and so on.

>I wonder if it's a better choice to generate slaves or pre-write slaves.

I wouldn't use fully pre-written slaves like slavemaker as it has low replayability for the same slave.

A generated character can have a dynamic mix of traits, background story, events, characteristics like love/hate for tasks or being good/bad with certain things.

>>52704

Yes, more scenes and fluff to corrupt the girl, like rogue-like has skinny dipping with more revealing outfits. A good judge to see how lewd the girl currently is.

No, this is a porn game, not something I want to spend hours grinding on aka akabur style.

You can have both. And I appreciate both.

Yes, sex is the reward though.

Ehhh, No NTR, No bestiality and no sharing. Train a girl to please you and only you. Stuff like bondage or exhibitionism is added stuff.

>>52704

1. Non-erotic content is fine, but it has to be non-intrusive or fun. Frankly I wont play games where I need to put effort/thought into grinding or participate in a bunch of hassle for little reward. Fun is first and I don't wanna spend 4+ hours to unlock a sex scene.

2. Depends on how it's challenging. Although, personally I like the option for a god mode where I can just explore what the game has to offer.

3. Anything's perfectly fine if it's not ugly or has a difficult to understand/use interface.

4. No. I personally only play trainer games for the "harlot" part.

5. Depends. I dislike extreme stuff like scat/guro. But Most fetishes are at least fine by me. So basically nothing that could be considered repulsive.

>>52705

Akabur's games and Slave Maker. I'm here for a corruption fetish in some way/shape/form.

>>52737

You know I've been considering how a good Pokemon (Moemon) sex game would work, and there's a few things that've popped in my head that might work for you depending on what you wanna do (or at least spark some ideas). Put simply, work off of variables. Pretty much like how fenoxo did his shit but to a much larger scale (applying across a whole sex scene, or even just simple dialogue). You'd have to be clever about it but there's potential to get quite a bit of complexity and uniqueness from some fairly easy work (compared to just trying to brute force the same effect).

An example for something as complex as a sex scene- Start out with the type of scene {blowjob/missionary/anal/etc}, and how compliant they are {forced/compliant/willing/obsessed}; create a basic structural outline(s) {Initiation/early/middle/climax/reaction}; leave gaps for personality/appearance/skill/completely random variables. Such as when the MC undresses, there'll be a sentence(s) that'll change depending on the character's traits {bitchy/noble/slutty/no usable trait found/etc} or even just how rough their handjob is that particular time for example.

Although, just like programming, how difficult it'd be would entire depend on how clever you are. However there is potential to make nearly every scene extremely different, despite being randomly generated, while potentially taking less time than writing unique scenes for every little character. Of course this can be applied to any type of scene, but sex is a good example.

>>52704

1.I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this could you give a example, I feel like all slavetrainers have some non-erotic content?

2. I hate mini games, and don't want to play a game that requires a walk though.

3.looks are a higher concern for me, unless it's a text only game obviously. what artist are you aiming to get?

4.no, but it does need something to make it feel rewarding like a grind mechanic or combat, not rpgmaker though I don't even give those a chance anymore, and not as much grind as akaburs games.

5.I like a lot of taboo content amputee, loli, guro, transformation, robotification, bimbofication, corruption, BDSM, mind break, etc. I don't like cuck content but if it was optional I might give it a chance, but if a game has scat even if optional. I most likely wouldn't play it, so you are probably better off keeping mostly vanilla

with all that said I don't think 4/8chan anons pay or sub to much, and mostly pirate games, so you may want to make a thread on somewhere like f95zone as well which, ironically enough despite being a pirating forum, has a lot of paying patreons it seems.

>Slavemaker / jack o nine tails both have combat for example, as well as some society/reputation gameplay. I would consider that non-erotic content.

ok gotcha in that case I would say i'm fine with non-erotic content if it's necessary for the games grind mechanic

>I'm not really sure that is the case. The people that I know that go to chans actually spend an inordinate amount on things like patreons. They pirate a lot and spend a lot in my experience.

I'm making a slavetrainer/dating sim myself and in my observation at least with halfchan's weg thread, the other dev's that post mostly on there have gotten very little, one in particular has a visually impressive, although admittedly some what lacking in story and content game thats making less than $100 after 6+ months on parteon and high praise from that thread, but I guess that might be a case of not branching out and advertising else where.

>Besides if I asked f95zone I'd probably be making cuck simulators until I'm old.

just tell'em your not adding cuckshit, that's what I plan to do.

>>52773

I'd say keep the combat simple then build it up, CoC is a good example of good combat.

>>52737

Thing about Slavemaker is it gets samey after the 10th girl, you usually have a routine to train her and outside her unique events and images she could be generic. I think having a custom girl go through a storyline will make player engage with her more, like Jasmine or Hermione from Akabur, a single girl but the amount of content for her was well worth it. It'd take a small amount of girls that have a ton of content than 100 different girls that have 5 events each.

>>52760

Yeah, that applies to all events and is the basis of corruption. You slowly coerce the girl into more difficult sex acts but that also reflects on how she views herself. You might order her to go to the beach one day without a top and she's embarrassed for it but then a few days/weeks later it's no big deal to her and give the player an indication in how along the girl is in her training.

Basically building a pyramid of lewdness with the capstone of her being a slut.

>>52770

If you do have mini-games, give an option to skip or auto if possible. Some poeple don't like em.

>>52770

>Besides if I asked f95zone I'd probably be making cuck simulators until I'm old.

Eh, there is nothing wrong with trying to attract a larger audience. Don't cater and pander to the people; just make the game you want to make.

Adult cartoons, western erotic games.

Iris is best girl but why is she best girl?

1) Yes.

2) No.

3) Prefer writing over art, but layout of the interface is more important than writing. If I hate the action of doing even simple things, I won't play the game.

4) Not really.

5) No way. If it's something that I have to work to do, and thus is easy to ignore, maybe that's fine, but keep the vore, gore, etc. out.

Favorite is Princess Trainer for the same reasons as >>52806

>>52865

If given a choice do you prefer trainer games that…

1. have non-erotic content?

>No,what´s the fucking point then?

2. are challenging?

>If by challenge you mean gameplay and not grindfest then yes

3. look good, rather than are written well?

>yes as long as the story is not retarded

4. would be good games even if they weren't sexual?

>htg

5. have some disgusting content rather than no taboo content?

>no

>>52884

Listen shitface, do world a favor, dig a grave and bury yourself you.. You…

DOUBLE NIGGER!

>>52969

Fuck that. Mice are used exclusively the dominant hand, unless you finagle some nonsense to move it.

Now if you're some weirdo that jacks it with their off hand, it's all fine, but I don't think most jack it with their off hand.

The optimal would be a keyboard using wasd controls.

If you are interacting with some overworld map it should be a grid but just not look like it is.

>>52972

i use my off hand for the mouse most of the time.

It should be ok as long i don't run into a FPS porn game
