Despite a seedy past, you're ready to turn things around and get really get down to business, honest business. In Lula: The Sexy Empire you will make your path from rags to riches: you'll start up your own multimedia production empire, and you'll do it with spunk.

You will seek out new talent and carry out the casting.
You will direct, write, and participate in the production process.
You will manage your company's finances, investments and employees.
You will take on local, and worldwide, distribution.
You will create a network of retail stores and locations.
You will launch a satellite television network to finish off your multi-million handiwork.

Become an up and coming entrepreneur in <span class="bold">Lula: The Sexy Empire</span>, available now, DRM-free on GOG.com.

timppu: Damn it, now opening gog.com has become NSFW or even NSFH (not safe for home) material, as that busty lady jumps out from the screen to my lap.

I remember hearing about these Lula games back in the day, but never was interested enough to find out if they are any good as games. I pretty much dismissed them as pseudo-games selling only on sex. So, are they? (good games)
Cannot say much about the other Lula games; they always appeared to trying to feed on the success of this one. This one besides the naughty stuff has a solid eco sim in 3 stages (home movies/pictures in some god-forsaken dessert town -> managing a movie studio -> managing a global sex-shop chain) underneath. Maybe not the best but by far not the worst.

If you dislike kinky type of games & look for a deep engaging eco sim I do not think you will like this game much.

MaxFulvus: Why not some wallpapers or avatars for goodies ?
There really wasn't much in the way of usable assets in order to make high quality wallpapers or avatars.

Phc7006: Mind you some of your cvustomers have kids that happen to play some of the games you offer.
I don't really grasp the implications of this.

You mean, you have kids who come shopping on gog ? If they are old enough to buy games online, they are old enough to stomach a frontpage cartoon girl in bikini (not that different from the average tomb raider or ordinary barbarian breastwarrior cliché, mind you). Also, are they old enough for the slaughterporn violence that constitutes 87.3% of all videogames and screenshots ?

If they don't do gog shopping, then, aren't the parents the ones who select games from those that gog offer ? How does "kids happen to play some of the games that you offer" mean they have to play that one ?

Seriously...

Phc7006: "An ode to entrepreneurship"

As we say here : "je ne sais pas ce que tu fumes mais c'est de la bonne".

"Threading the fine line between micro/macro business management and simple fun is no simple feat for a game"

Probably means the thin line between the residual animal behavioural patterns in sexually unsecure males and compulsive purchasing patterns.

To make it clear, I have nothing against more mature games here, although I'm not finding it fun that it's not in a separate section. Mind you some of your cvustomers have kids that happen to play some of the games you offer. But when I compare the selection standards for other games , I can't help wondering what the logic is. So we don't have Accross the Rhine, Fleet Defender, Cinder or Hegemony I,II or III, but we have wet.... great ...

Arinielle: Oh for crying out loud.

This is something I don't see enough of in parenting these days. Too many just let their kids do whatever and not check into what they're doing and what they're looking at to a certain age and then giving them talks about what they are seeing.

I feel thankful that I have a dad that ( though mentally unstable that caused some issues growing up ) actually gave a damn. He went and played the games a while before I got a chance to. He did research. He would only allow me to play certain games with him around "just in case" and so he could answer any questions if I felt I didn't understand or felt uncomfortable about something.

It boils down to the parents needing to actually do their role as parents and not just "Okay, internet. As long as you stay quiet a while so I can do other things... go right ahead" and then complain about how there's horrible things on the internet that their children can "oh so easily get into".

And when it comes to what games are and aren't here, that's entirely on a lot of legal mess that older games mostly have that they have to wade through and that takes a long-ass time to do.
You have a good father, other issues notwithstanding. If I were you, I would go up to him & thank him profoundly, if you haven't already. The world needs more parents that do give a damn.

And yes, that IS the problem. Too many people crap out kids & then expect EVERYONE ELSE BUT THEM to raise them.

That type of parenting makes me want to punch those people in the face very violently. A child is not a toy nor a pet, people! You had your fun creating them, NOW ACCEPT YOUR DAMNED RESPONSIBILITY.

And stop blaming others for your fuck ups! It's YOUR fault. Not other people's. Accept that.

Well, GOG is obviously obligated to raising his kids.

Makes a lot of sense.

If somebody in this GAME SITE has the balls to say they don't have time to look after their kids, I'm going to seriously fucking lose it.

I will.

gamesfreak64: If the game would have been more normal and less xxx orietnated i might had give it a go, i am a gamer that also likes some fun, but mainly prefr games to be games instead of xxx games.

Gaming and xxx fun should be seperated, xxx should not be the main base of a game.
So i skip on this one.
Thought experiment : Replace "XXX" by "Gore", and post those same sentences in the Mortal Kombat release thread. Does it sound silly?

Or "Politics" in the Tropico 4 release thread.

Or beter yet, "religions" in the Afterlife release thread.

This is basically a business tycoon game with a porn theme tacked on, just like Afterlife is a Theme park game with a heaven/hell theme, and in both case they play heavily on their theme to draw the customer and to distanciate themselves from the competition.
You can dislike a theme and decide not to buy games that rely on it (personally, I dislike the MK games because of their excessive gore). But asking for a game not to be sold here (and leaving the other) just because of the theme alone, without trying to know if it's a genuinely good game and not just an unimaginative copicat, feels rather silly.

I probably won't buy this game, mostly because I don't like older tycoon games, but I like the fact that GOG is trying to cover most themes and genres in their store, even if some of them only have 1 or 2 games brought to us (and at least, we can expect those to be among the good ones in the genre/theme they represent)

My parents actually didn't. That's why before they went to work every morning they tied me up in the basement.


Don't knock it! I turned out a productive socially responsible adult! :D

Well, yeah. But they went to WORK! They didn't lock you up so they could play Rainbow Islands all day.

And besides, tied up in the basement you couldn't get up to much mischief. And you had lots of time to think for yourself, instead of being conditioned by TV.

Seriously, my own kids are not allowed to access internet ... yet, let alone buy games or whatever else on their own. But It won't last and I see too many stupid thing being done , including idiots giving a prepaid credit card to a kid - not to think that "games for a mature audience" should be in a separate section , not advertised in the main page

You guys rock! Bought it instantly, including HuniePop.

As for you, you obviously overreact and make judgements based on a few words. My own kids are safe, thanks. They spend time outside or around boardgames rather than in front of the TV or on games. But I've seen enough idiocy around me, especially amongst colleagues, to express my point of view.
