Is creating an H-game or VN worth it?

Any creators want to share their experiences?
Is it worth creating one of these (with AI art) to get some money? I figure now is the golden era to make some money off it.
I can write a story fine but I also feel like I'd be annoyed having to add in all the sex sound effects and so on.

    if you have absolutely no morals that you'd make pornography as well as using AIslop, then there are better ways of making quick cash than making an h-game. (i.e. stealing catalytic converters)

      for literally no possible reason, could you explain more? Is it lucrative, and is it hard? asking for my nephew's cousin

        The metal used in a small part of them is more valuable than gold, the convert can be worth a few thousand dollars depending on the actual unit and is much easier to sell than the car itself.

    Yes. You have one year left before all entertainment and porn is AI generated for each individual.

    I think you're a bit late to the party. If you're making a niche fetish game you might make some money, but you're never going to pull in the big bucks because the market is spread too thin, and anything more vanilla will just be washed away in the sea of slop.

      Yeah I plan to make various niche NTR games so I think it'll have some fetish fans

      Yes. You have one year left before all entertainment and porn is AI generated for each individual.

      I do figure the clock is ticking so maybe I should at least try to get a few thousand dollars for free while I can

      I... That's a good point. I guess I don't feel horrible about getting people who are willing to spend money on AI VNs, to spend 5 dollars a month or whatnot on my AI VNs. Does that make me a bad person?

        Unlike to work even on F95 there's already AI ntr games, and at minimum you'd have to put in the effort to match them (make the the ai make the girls at least somewhat consistency between scenes)

          Couldn't I just use popular characters that people already love though? That way consistency is not an issue. Like monogatari girls or something

      Frick, I just wanted to create one too with 14~ girls, focusing more on soft porn and jokes. But it might be doomed. What kind of fetish do you need to cater to in order to make some money?

        I've heard furries pay top dollar, bl*cked NTR probably does too. Other anons will have better answers

        Can someone explain the appeal of this? I feel like the best h-games tend to focus on specific fetishes and themes, lewd gameplay mechanics, or both.

          I haven't really played any in more than a decade. Please tell me what people like in them, as I'm just an artist.

    Be good enough to pass off as traditional art and sky's the limit.

    learn to create a normal game first
    (like a beat em up)

    then adding the h-content is way easier

      Probably great advice but I just want to make a VN.

    Do you even know how to gen a consistent character? Most AI games I've seen don't even bother to try and hide it. Instead they market that they can boast a high quantity of scenes which still doesn't get them very far. If you can't get at minimum a small animation loop, I'd say dead on arrival.

    I've been tempted to make a vn dating sim since I'm a professional artist and friends of mine have made their own porn games and they've done pretty well.
    I've been wondering if I should do my own OC girls or try to make a fangame thing where you can frick girls from different series. The fangame idea would probably be a lot more popular but I'd be constantly worried about getting a DMCA or something. OC girls would also mean I'd never have to worry about that but I'd need to make them appealing on their own.

      Using anything not your own sounds like a legal suit against you. My gut says, do your own thing.

      How could you get DMCA'd? Fanbox artists make money off of art of shonen jump girls all the time, I doubt AI of those same girls would be banned on all payment processing sites

    I made a VN, it's not porn, I got a good reception to it, you do it because you want to. Not for money

    Everyone here is going to tell you no because "you missed your mark" or "the market is too crowded". Think about how stupid these two statements are. If every person thought like them no one would do anything and the world would suck.

    Now, your game probably WILL still suck since youre in it for a cash grab and not genuinely trying to offer an interesting product but eh, pajeets will still give you money. Up to you but your heart needs to be in it even if its porn, you wont last otherwise

    Here's an ironic piece of advice: never listen to any advice on Ganker.
    This dump is composed entirely of people inventing more and more excuses to never do anything with their lives. You listen to all the endless negativity here and you'll give up on everything before you even give it a real try.
    VNs are piss easy to make and doubly so with AI. Just fricking do it, it's not a massive undertaking on your part. Worst case scenario, people hate it or ignore it but you've learned something about making vidya and writing. It's not like you have any better ideas on what to do with your free time, is it?
