it really hasn't, 99% of it was derivative and grotesque

3DCG games suck ass anyways, I'm more worried for the fate of shit like BDCC and Princess Conquest even though Towerfag has fully given up on the game and just shits out DLC princesses no one cares about that are just glorified follower npcs

You can still sell shit and stick a cherry on top afterwards to make it good.

Russian and ukranian devs made literal slop, and that's saying something since WEGs are a slopfest in general.

>2018
But I've had my f95 account since 2016 so it's definitely been longer.

Thanks to the massive censorship, I've become a massive gooner, I don't know why but it has gotten far worse than ever.
It's probably because I sense that the powers that Be don't want me to goon to art they deem unwanted and too "dangerous" for me, so my answer is to double down and save up as many degenerate filthy eroge games I can find.

>>716476175

>>716474304
Which is funny considering how many are not made in the West.

The good devs crashed out years ago anyway.

>>716477270
True but it's easier than saying erotic games not made in japan.

>>716473580 (OP)

WEGs were always colossal dogshit.

It is honestly impressive how much more of a SOUL eroge have cmpared to WEGs.
The comparison is just undeniable almost always, even the "slop" Eroge has more of an artistic merit than WEGs. Yes call me a "weeb" or whatever but every Western porn game I've seen seems to reuse the same ugly 3D models that feel like they were made in 2000s.
Even when Japanese games go for 3D art-style their models are far above what Western games have to offer.
And when Western porn game goes for 2D art it almost always looks ugly that you'd have to be really filthy to masturbate to it.

>>716473580 (OP)
>Patreon bs that killed off most devs
Good, fuck the perpetually-patreon'd divas who never made content past whatever was enough to keep the paypigs coming back.
the payment processing stuff is bullshit because it's eventually going to hit everything else, not just porn games.

>>716473580 (OP)
Just looked through F95 and almost none of the wegs look interesting or even original. Its all ugly generic CGs with some extremely mundane step-mom/highschool/step-sister setup with not a shred of imagination used.
If this kind of 'slop' is getting removed from the world then good fucking riddance maybe you porn addicted retards will actually develop something akin to a taste.

Oh and shoutout to that superhero brothel simulation game, that looked like it could be a fun concept.

For me, it's Ero Witches and Ero Dungeons

Some animations were absolute gold, but transition from the animation to cumming climax was trash and ruined everything.
Might be possible to remake those scene with renpy.

WEGs are always, ALWAYS, at the top of New & Trending. This is what has concerned me for the longest time. Even now, I just took this screenshot, a WEG is the top game and it bothers me. I don't mind the existence of these games, I just think there's a cabal of WEGs that own the Steam New & Trending algorithm and Valve should do something about that.

I've been gooning like mad to AI generated COYAs, it's ruining me and my wallet, but the regular games will never feel the same

Yeah, it's pretty shocking just how blatantly WEG exist to milk Patreon bucks.

The whole genre didn't even exist until recently, while Eroge have existed for decades.

>>716481072
I've been using infiniteworlds, it's costly, but it makes a proper game out of it, can mostly remember what you did in the past, your interactions with others, the worldbuilding etc.

the last patch was also like that. there was talk that the dev went to prison and whatever else... have faith my brother

>>716482828
Heart Problems, featuring the best MILF in all of WEG history, at least in my opinion.

so how are the patreon devs surviving now? just adjusting their content?

>>716482828
you never get to fuck her lmao
dev abandoned the game after years of "updates" that never went there

Wealthy people are building giant bunkers deep underground and you're worried about porn

Any recommendations for degenerate romance games along the lines of euphoria? (No ntr, sharing, or prostitution, just a pure vanilla love) Guro is okay, but I'd rather ryona and snuff instead. AI, especially instruct tuned models, doesn't seem to be able to handle long term romance with overarching plots very well. 32b q8 / 70b q4 local models anyway. I'm still waiting for the cpu to clear customs before I can try big moes on a wrx80 system.

making smut games will return to being passion projects instead of a career where you work as slow as possible for steady patreon shekels

Almost none of them are games. Most of them are terrible.

Eternum VN is fantastic, sad it's not finished.
Subverse is an actual game and hilarious but the gameplay itself is stretched too far.

It was ruined by everyone trying to copy and trend chase the success of Summer Time Saga, who got like 50K dollars a month (IIRC).

You can hide your games in steam also not everyone adds friends to steam and if you need to no one is preventing you from just creating a second account.

TaffyTown is unironically kino, cucking the wanna be black bull is the cherry on top I nut so much. Honorable mentions the fallout one and sex note. The rest are various forms of trash.

Are there any more good WEGs where the MC is actually the bull? I'm not talking about the "MC just goes around fucking all the married housewives in secret" trope, I'm talking about actually involving the boyfriends/husbands/etc. There are some incredibly out of left field segments in "Away From Home" that let you fuck your aunt in front of her introvert son (who is pretending to sleep) while she calls him a cuck. Very out of pocket but also surprisingly hot. Any more games with stuff like this?

>>716500671
>at her bedroom
why are all WEG makers ESL? it's quite distracting

>>716500671
Not a common thing sadly.
Grandmas house has a mexican woman and her negligenct husband, he isnt into it. Game is absolute trash.
Simple days has a girl with a cuck BF who wants to watch. Might be able to get her pregnant too but not sure.

it's actually also payment processors, the same shit happened to pixiv in the past, and now happening to steam, itch, and will happen to gog within the next few weeks

>>716479254
nobody was going to buy your ai slop anyway.

>>716500671
The uncle gets as cucked as it gets in Heart Problems no direct confrontation tho. Taffy Tales (not Town) has a questline with the cleaning lady and her son who you can openly cuck and feminize and have him suck your dick in cute girly cosplay. It gets pretty gay on that front. Outside of that and Away from Home I haven't really come across any bull kinos.

>>716501831
>AI chat made all of these vn pointless
Did it though? Can AI deliver the same quality of writing while also providing consistent quality renders (that don't look like generic AI sloppa aka boner killers) for every piece of dialogue across multiple chapters, while also being able to make passable, looping animations for all the sex scenes? Show me one game that does this with AI and is longer than like 10 minutes.

>>716502118
>Taffy Tales
Which version should I get? The Season 1 redux or the older seasons (which seem to have more than season 1)? Or am I misunderstanding the versioning?

>>716474516
Thanks doc.

>>716477874
Sire
But why are all Jap games pixelated censorship, underage girls, tentacle filled or cucking ?
And these are just the top of the iceberg.
Why can't they make good vanilla Kino ?

You guys reckon crypto has already been infiltrated by (((them)))? How would they fuck with crypto payments? Will they attempt to control it somehow? Will they just rug people?

>>716503339
The Redux is better made but has less content and is more cookie cutter polished. I'd go for the original journey, the art is shittier but the payoffs are sweeter. Once you're done with that go for Redux for better cgs, lol.

>>716503583
It doesn't matter because the average normie is too stupid to use crypto and they're the only ones actually paying money for any of this shit

>>716503583
they'll feed and seed people

>>716503583
they already have with centralized currencies popping up
indians piss and shit themselves because coin is backed by big entities, but that completely defeats the purpose of cryptocurrency
besides, it's as anon says, unless there's a retard proof way to obtain and use it, then it will never catch on to normalfags
