The user mapofhawaii posted a thread here about how the porn has gotten so much better since the olden days, I personally happen to agree. But porn is in itself so many moving parts. Now we have VR, AR, mobile and the list is only going to keep growing. The industry looks ahead often but it's typically left to sites like AdultDVDTalk and the occasional Netflix documentary to take an introspective. That is after all how I found this site in the first place, out of curiosity. With technology comes all these other shiny new things as well. But what you don't see talked about often is the representation of the adult industry in gaming. Sex is play, so what the hell is going on?
There's a disconnect, a fragmentation. Considering the overall games industry is a 80+ billion dollar mammoth I find it amazing that the adult games industry hasn't ventured much outside of 3D sex-simulation games and visual novels. There's also the problem of mainstream adoption. You somehow need to make an adult game, with mainstream adoption. Or at least meet halfway. So again, let's do what's important and look back toward the beginning. There was Softporn Adventure, then Leisure Suit Larry, then it gets bumpy. Lula, the Playboy games..
So what's happened? I'll save you some time here and get to the point. Information, humor and history. That's how you get people to open up to this stuff. You call it a documentary about sex and put it on the History channel and you might get away with nudity. So make a game representative of all the quirkiness of the adult industry and toss in a little history, why not? The hentai kids, the oldheads, the millennials, we all watch porn. Have a lil something for everyone. That's how I'd describe porn to an alien, as a little something for everyone. I hope I posted this in the right place, thanks!
