Games that have it all?

I too think LOP EXT edition is still the best erotic game I have ever played. Thanks to Leonizer. Excellent storyline.

Jordan 500 is also great as the theme of playing as a female character is exciting and innovative.

Looking forward to more such dating sims from Leon.

I'm pretty sure the censored dragon breasts were satire...

yea i dont think we will see any real sexual stuff make it to mainstream gaming within nxt 5 years.

movies and games have come a long way but seem to lean more toward violence and are allowed to show it graphically. Games for now wont touch the taboo that is sex and we will just have to deal with slightly tame visual cutscenes or innuendo/censored shit.

I suspect many people don't dig porn as much as they dig social interaction + porn. This is why the dating sim games are so popular despite the fact that the actual sex in them (when compared on its merits alone to the mainstream porn) is lacklustre, to say the least. People want to go out, meet a girl (or prefereably several of them ), get to know them, flirt, and then have sex with them. This makes for a much more wholesome experience than simply watching films with people just shagging each other.

Don't get me wrong: porn is a good thing. It's just that there's no emotional side to it, pure mechanics. Good AO games are, in my opinion, much more enjoyable than even the best of porn.

Congratulations, you explained it perfectly!
That's how I see it too.

The idea of group talents together, so the hardship of making a good adult game would be divided, is of course very good, but it is not that easy. They all have their own personal projects, not to mention their day by day duties.

In one of Goblinboy TADS games, he provided an e-mail address for people who wanted to send comments and suggestions. And I sent him a "suggestion for a game". I have no knowledge about TADS programming, so I don't know how hard or easy to code my game suggestion would be. I came up with a bunch of characters and erotic situations. I could think of more erotic events, but as I couldn't implement those ideas into TADS or any other game programming tool, I didn't extend the story very far.

At the same day I sent him the e-mail, Goblinboy answered it, saying it would be a game he would like to play, but he couldn't help me with it.

If you're interested in (or just curious about) the game suggested, here is a link to it:

Maybe we should create a special section for game suggestions, so coders could read the game plot, and pick the ones they think that are good enough and that they can turn into a game.

link does not work...

Goblinboy is about the best out there.

My thought is that why most adult games don't really work is because there is no erotic tension built up in the player. That is why dating games are popular, because that erotic tension is there.

Just getting immediately to the sex is unsatisfactory. There needs to be delay and accomplishments completed to build up the player's erotic tension. Then the sex is more than just pictures on the screen. That is what is needed in these kind of games.

Absolutely! And that applies to most adult videos too.

Welp... after seeing the latest "Duke Nukem Forever" trailer I'm wondering how in the hell that game isn't getting an AO rating.

Somebody must've bribed someone.

Displaying tits and ass are perfectly fine for video games to maintain an M rating. The God of War and Dante's Inferno games prove this nicely.

An AO rating would only be given out to a game that showed gratuitous use of genitalia. Masturbating, fucking, etc...

I fully expect to see tits and ass in Duke Nukem: Forever.

Hehe, not bad. There are still problems with the culling as the hand goes beyond the breasts instead of staying on the surface.
Of course Microsoft is not amused...

If you ask me Goblinboy rules
i can't wait for his next work.
I just hope that it would be better than meteor XD

Meteor XD? Only played Meteor. I think I may have mentioned GB rules earlier in this thread but IMO SD3 > Meteor. The Phallius games are pretty good too.

The problem I've found with TADS games is that unless you know the EXACT word the author is looking for, you are stuffed - and often the authors aren't blessed with an extensive English vocabulary. If, when you eventually give up, you are lucky enough to find a walkthrough for the game, the word turns out to be so out of context that you wouldn't have thought of it in a lifetime.
Surely there must be a way of programming games to accept any word from a list of synonyms? At least those of us for whom English is our native language might have a fair chance

I agree, in the first aif games the difficulty of the puzzles consisted in finding the right wording between : "look at bed" "search bed" "look under bed", etc...

Experienced authors like Goblinboy, BBBen and more now manage to make games whithout any "guess the verb" problems.

I could not agree more.

Looks like you may have tapped a new market. There are people, myself included, that like these games but are looking for a good blending of the best of all of them. I am sure it can be done, but no one wants to do it for free. Unless someone just has a burning passion or money to burn for start up costs, looks like we will be left with games that people develop for the love of it. I salute them and say thanks for all their hard and diligent work. It has provided me with many hours of frustrating and enjoyable gameplay.
