Because I'm really interested in people's opinions on these types of games in general and would be really grateful if you send them once you've got enough participators for the survey.

A lot of the questions you have asked are purely cosmetic and others refer to undetermined gameplay loops, I cannot tell if this is market research or just inexperience. I have occasionally thought of game designs and, after reviewing them, I have scrapped them for being unwieldly. I will use a failed design as an example of what I mean

You should first have a concept with your game. A failed design of mine was a porno-live stream themed Rouge-like deck building game, play cards like "Cunnilingus" to advance the scene. The goal was to get the most money in 20/25/30 streams

Then you should map out the mechanics. For my idea there was: a Buy phase (where you could buy actions, equipment and partners,) a Planning Phase (to build your deck,) a Streaming phase (play the cards) and a Rewards phase (Draw X prize cards where you can accept: sponsorships, private meet ups, etc.)

Once you have mapped the mechanics, there should be iteration and review of your concept. Is this fun? Are some elements repetitive? etc. This is where I killed the idea. Once I started to mentally play around with the gameplay loop I realized how complex it would need to be. With a basic sex show which featured multiple species (Human, Anthro, MG and Feral) the complexity quickly spiraled. Does cock shape change anything? How do multiple vaginas change things? Should a "69" card fail if used on a taur? Do I need to add a morality point system for performing actions with feral partners? From simply asking questions about one minor gameplay component, without considering vore options (Oral, Anal, Breast, Absorption, Soul, etc,) made my concept hard to work with early, saved me a lot of time going forward.

Once you are happy your idea, then start development and add the more cosmetic/narrative features later. From a design POV oral vore is the same as anal vore when interacting with the game itself. Does clicking the "Oral" button do anything other than show a specific png? If the answer is no, then work on other areas. If you are interested in Game Design I recommend you look at some of Reynad's videos when he talks about his Game 'the Bazaar.' It shows some of the conversations on it and how it works out.

That being said, if you want to make a basic combat RPG (A wild Centaur appeared! Player used Swallow! the move failed) with a basic story and pngs there is nothing stopping you. If you want to make a game which stands out give a thought to how the gameplay is.

wariodude128 wrote:Say, this game you're trying to make, is there anything concrete about what it is yet? Because I happen to have a large list of ideas for a game I really want to make. It's an original IP which takes many cues from Pokemon. In fact, I've often called it an adult parody of the series. If you would like to take a look at what I have written, you can always send a message at me for the pdf which I will then provide. All I will say about it right now is the title: Hothumon.

TootLunch wrote:Did the survey, a few of the questions were vague or unclear like the size for vore and size question being two different questions and might be better as a question like what size dynamic do you prefer (micro/giant, same size, shrunken/regular).

The one that really confused me though was the one about wanting all girls available but have to be purchases vs having to fight them but then can fight them infinitely afterwards. Specifically for the first option would they have to be bought every time you fight them or are they unlocked forever once bought.
