Some Rpgmaker games ain't good, but to say RPGmaker has hurt H-gaming as a result is just like saying FLASH has hurt H-gaming because you found some half-assed or shitty flash games, or saying ANIMATION has hurt h-movies because you found some terribly animated or boring or shitty h-movies.RPG Maker has hurt hentai game making extensively.
So you found it.I found a pretty good trial and some has hexed it to play only the sex animations. Can't find it.
I think alot of people like the "story" (heh dont know what else to call it) element alot, but I agree with you... video games are suposed to be more than pretty pictures and text.I'd go one step further, and I know that some people will disagree vehemently.
RPG Maker has hurt hentai game making extensively. I can understand low-mid end game creators appreciating the ease and simplicity of RPG Maker, but the outcome of those games is rarely even worth the effort for any but the most story-driven gamers. In short, time that could be spent making original games with some potential is almost entirely wasted on the RPG Maker platform.
I certainly agree. Every time I see an RPG Maker game with a huge, dramatic name like, "THE CHRONICLES OF TA'AL-KRAUNG: CHAPTER III", I roll my eyes at the thought of how much time was put into its development and how few people will ever see any of it.OnyxShadow said:RPG Maker has hurt hentai game making extensively.
And then you look at the 1000 downloads on the Japanese dlsite and say "huh?" That's what I like about those guys. They don't discriminate and aren't super picky. They just play the games that people put tons of time into, that's why their top 10 is always changing. Then you look at the English dlsite and you still see the Kasumi flash and that boy-on-boy bird dating sim dominating the charts...I certainly agree.

You definately can't say ALL. Vitamin Quest doesn't go into that category and unless I'm missing what you mean by "in-game hentai," all rpgmaker games with BF don't go into that category either. And then there's Violated Heroine..I think alot of people like the "story" (heh dont know what else to call it) element alot, but I agree with you... video games are suposed to be more than pretty pictures and text.
for me the coolest sex games are those where sex is an actual mechanic of gameplay, as in they are in game animations/events that happen as you naturally play the game, be it combat or story choices.
for example games that have combat moves with sexual attacks/initiations/strips/etc or games where you have sexual expertise/moves to develop to have the upper hand sexually against your opponents or story characters.
so far in that regard the coolest was illusion's Yusha, where you have to fight heroines that are initially stronger than you, but you can hold them off during sex, by taking charge during hentai events (by exciting them or using special abilities to hold your orgasm until they have theirs, or bind them etc) as you level up and increasingly become sexually dominating.
close second are simply games with good artwork and animations with in game sex, much like ror games (shinobi girl being top of the lists)
visual novels work, if there are actual story choices and at least decent hentai animations.
games that are pixelated, have no in-game hentai, and have no animated hentai scenes are pretty much a no-no for me, so all rpgmaker games fit into that category :<
all that I tried so far...You definately can't say ALL. Vitamin Quest doesn't go into that category and unless I'm missing what you mean by "in-game hentai," all rpgmaker games with BF don't go into that category either. And then there's Violated Heroine..
I don't have anything to really say about the thread's topic, other than, 'yay, hentai' - and I don't really have much concern over why having a more varied list of favourites in one dlsite makes it superior to the other. But I fairly well need to say this much; whoever tagged Hatoful Boyfriend as yaoi on the English DL site is being wildly inaccurate. The main character is a girl after a boyfriend; yaoi in the game would be pretty counter-productive to that goal. At no point in the game does a single boy-on-boy romantic or sexual relationship exist.Then you look at the English dlsite and you still see the Kasumi flash and that boy-on-boy bird dating sim dominating the charts...
