Dogmaus: 4 am GMT is an unusual time for a release :)

TheGrimLord: This stuff is immensely popular in Japan though. One of DLSite's most popular games was Artemis Pearl and they gave it away for free due to the Hentai Live Expo 2022 which went on during the end of last month. It was a small streaming event with two Japanese hosts, speaking in English of course. A man and a woman. It is worth noting how the woman approaches this kind of content. She's not offended by it at all and even thinks the loli's are cute. Japan doesn't seem to have any problem with this kind of content, it's the westerners who get up in arms about it.

Well, they also showed several games from western adult developers like Future Fragments (which will be here, the dev already confirmed it) which is like a hentai Mega Man, and then you have Shady Lewd Kart (literally Hentai Mario Kart with over 16 tracks, more than 40 racers and tons of unlockable karts). There were also a couple of other games shown there from western developers, it's no longer just the Japanese doing this. One of the hosts remarked that it was a shame the mainstream industry isn't paying attention because there's a whole industry here in the adult market now. And it's gone beyond sex simulators. People are now just making games with sex in them rather than games strictly about sex. And you'd be surprised by the different graphics and gameplay styles that are going into these things. The female host remarked, "when you look at some of these games, it's hard to even tell they're hentai games."

That's the future of this genre. Games with sex, not games strictly about sex. Like I said, look out for Future Fragments, which will be here and has 40 different endings depending on how you treat the NPC's (which the dev said you can kill) and what routes you take. GOG accepted the game and the developer confirmed this on the game's itch.io page.

randomuser.833: Again, I don't mind adult only games. I even had fun with some of them. But the ones Kagura sends us from this indy sex dev scene of Japan just feel cheap.

In the west games with sex where always popular too.
Maybe not the "plays and looks like Gameboy with aditional hentai pics", but western stuff.
I mean, we got Singles as an adult Sims, Lula with several games (and lost it from GoG...), Biing (man germans loved their manegment sims with Sex - and hell they were hard sometimes...) and there is always Larry. While Larry is not as explicted as the others.
And while you can argue about the quality of many of those games, they are nothing in comparison with RPG-Maker Asset flips. Those games got own mechanics, an own style and can stand for their own. Many of them can even stand up to none adult content games.

We always had this "adult" market with games about more than just sex. And for the sex games, austria got one of the biggest players there with Thrixxx. Intrestingly most of their customers are couples.

To be fair, maybe for me the RPG Maker style games just with added hentai pics look like cheap stuff in the first place, because I'm not that much into NES-Style "RPGs" with their very limited fighting and character systems.
But most of those games would have not very good gameplay even decades ago. Let it be fighting systems in RPGs or world map stuff.
Add that most of the time Asstets from the RPG-Maker libary are used and it does taste like a cheap asset flip.

I just want to see more quality.
And I hope there is more quality in japan than just RPG maker 16bit (or even just 8bit) "RPGs" with hentai and the very few different games you named I didn't saw yet.

TomNuke: Are you unaware of what store you're on right now? GOG users complaining about quality... Lol, that's rich.

Wolf904: Oh great,

ANOTHER copy/paste piece of shit "game" created in under 5 minutes with RPG maker.

Whoever buys these things must have an extremely low IQ, and live in their parents basement.

tfishell: GOG Greenlight... exists?!!!! aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

TheGrimLord: Remember, Kagura plans to release the whole catalog here, but it's around 78+ titles and keeps getting larger every month. So these will probably never stop coming due to the agreement with that publisher.

megajellyfish: the people seething at this release is utterly hilarious to me.
While this game is not my cup of team why shit on other people's taste?
Not every game can be karryn's prison. :^)
