Hello everybody! Regular visitor here finally posting something. To moderators, if I've posted in the wrong forum then just let me know and I'll do whatever needs to be done to fix it.

If you're too busy to read the whole post: There's no good hentai games on mobile, I might start making one, and I'm wondering people's opinions on what they'd like in a mobile hentai game.

Once in awhile I'll be bored, late at night and in bed, and I'll want to play something on my phone (Android). I've taken a look at what dlsite has for its mobile stuff, but it's all just crappy touching games or animated backgrounds or what not. Ways exist to play flash games on mobiles, but they're always laggy or require too fine of a clicking precision that touch controls simply don't offer.

I have a good amount of side project time and have experience creating Android games with Unity, so I thought "Hey, why not just make the mobile hentai game that I see a missing spot for?" Therefore, I'd like to humbly ask you all of your opinions on what you'd like to see in a fun (read FUN, meaning hentai is a bonus to gameplay) mobile game. To not bury myself in high ambitions, consider the project 2D for now. 3D elements can be added at a later time though, so if you have any thoughts on what 3D things you'd like to see then feel free to voice them. As a side note, developing with Unity would be great because I could upload PC builds super easily for people to test out.

Some questions to consider:
-What is the main game loop? For example, Monster Hunter's game loop is kill monsters, get materials, make armor/weapons, rinse and repeat.
-What elements/systems from other games would you like to see?
-What things do you definitely not want to see?
-Is it an RPG, action game, etc.

For example, here's some random ideas that I'm currently thinking which I feel would make a fun mobile game with hentai elements:
-RPG battle system, similar to Super Mario RPG 7 Stars. Attacks and skills can be powered up based on timed user input (right when you're about to attack, there's a window of opportunity where the player can tap the screen and it powers up the attack). I absolutely loved this about SMRPG, it made battle much more interactive and sadly I haven't seen it used in any other game since.
-Basic attacks will be regular attacks (inflict body harm), and all/most of the skills will be sex related.
-Characters are unlocked by defeating them first in battle (like the old Final Fantasy summons) or through finding them in the world/doing quests. Characters and their skills are related to certain hentai/sex genres (a Succubus character would have dominatrix-esque abilities).
-Each character has a skill tree of abilities to unlock. For example, a regular human woman character would have a skill tree that diverges between sex acts relating to different body parts. Hands path, mouth path, feet path, etc. Each level of the character lets you unlock one ability down the tree.
-Characters and their attacks/skills would be sprites to start off with, and could later be made more complex or simple 3D.

Based on my above idea, here's some additional questions that I'd like to ask you all:
-How do you think the world should work? Open RPG Maker/2D Final Fantasy type map, or just a map picture with different interest areas to click on and go to? Any other ideas?
-Should the game's battles be turn based? Timed? Live? Tactical?
-What is the main game loop? For example, the player's objective is to collect all playable characters by continuously battling, gaining levels, and defeating the unlockables in battle to acquire them.


That's it! Right now I'm just looking for a thoughtful discussion on what a good mobile hentai game should be, and I'll see if I want to pursue making a prototype based off everyone's ideas. Thanks :)

Re: Mobile Hentai Game Discussion

i have plenty of ideas for app games myself, one of which is a light hearted platformer called fridge raider, the adult version involves gor but the game is essentially trying to sneak a late night snack

the funny part is the way to the fridge is guarded by indianna jones style traps

my control scheme involves a virtual joystick so the plauer can put their fingers anywhere, tapping the right side of the screen would be jump and the left would control movement

Re: Mobile Hentai Game Discussion

If you're talking about a game for phones, then I'd make something with long-term character-based development that make's use of the phone's features.

For instance, raising a monster girl through battles and other mini games, and then dealing with scenarios that would occur every day (or every in-game day). Then detect things like heat, the weather, time, all changing what occurs in-game, your monster girl's mood, etc.

Then for adult content, well, it could either be things that occur at game over, (either involving the monster girl, or if you're fighting other monster girls, the MC) or dating sim elements.

That's what I'd do, anyway.

Re: Mobile Hentai Game Discussion

I'd rather like to see a 2D ARPG or a Tactical RPG with Hentai elements.A 3D rpg game would take too much time.Doing models,textures,animations different characters etc.It would be a pain in the ass to do all those things.

Re: Mobile Hentai Game Discussion

I was under the impression that most mobile markets were heavily moderated by the company, and that explicit apps were not allowed. Is that not the case anymore?

Re: Mobile Hentai Game Discussion

Azurezero, your fridge game sounds pretty funny :D.

Kyrieru, I'm not a big fan of dating sim type elements, but I do like the long term character development. Personally I'd do it more as character advancement through levels and new skills, though. Like you said though, that's just personal preference.

Kikok012, 3D is definitely too much to commit to. Doing the game in 2D to completion is the best option, replacing art and things with 3D assets afterwards.

Twisted1, I'd primarily be building for Android, and I have no intention of building something for the Play store :D (definitely couldn't get an explicit game on it anyway). I'd just release the game as a free .apk file for people, and could even hand out the .exe PC version as well.

That's what I meant, more or less. You'd have traits such as strength and charm, etc, that need to be trained through combat and other means. These stats would effect what abilities they acquire, what events occur, and how you can deal with certain scenarios. (For instance, the monster girl winning a beauty contest, or solving a problem by moving a heavy object because you have enough strength, etc.)

The emphasis on skills in this manner could be part of pretty much whatever gameplay style you prefer, really, be it action oriented or otherwise.

Not sure about the App store, but for Google/Android:
hxxps://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy.html

You'd think mobile would be the best way to revisit the Monster Rancher style and format, and an even better idea would be going for Monster-Girl Ranching.

Imagine a normal MR mobile game could possibly use a GPS moderate share-range of disc fragments to collect/combine for random (or not-random) stuff in the same way as the older pokemon lottery shenanigans with the trainer ID. Give it a stamina system of a usual gacha for doing jobs and training.. etc etc.
