Recommending Home of Incest

[Crevanille]

It doesn't make any difference to me since I don't like this game. What's funny is that some developers, after gaining a solid base of supporters and a certain notoriety because of a certain game (I'm referring to games with incest), after a while they abandon incest or suddenly remake a game with incest removed. NLT Media is an example of this. For me, it's like spitting in the dish you've eaten.

Not the bit about Lunar's Chosen, but everything else?
Totally agree.
It totally feels like such a sellout move. But then, the more pragmatic, business minded side of me can understand why they'd do that. Mainstream appeal just means more money.
Liking incest as a fetish is... well, not really lucrative. I still think it's a bullshit stance to take bc it really is dismissive of whatever fans the project built up, but I suppose that's the nature of the beast called commercial art.

One reason why I'm SUPER picky about the games I play and devs I follow/support.

Tell this to Dark Cookie, who has made more than any other adult game Dev on Patreon with the OG incest game Summertime Saga.
Granted, Patreon changed the rules, and the game is just a milk machine now, but it was always intended to be played with incest.
MILFY Shitty didn't do half bad either, before Dev decided to ride off into the sunset with all that sweet incest cash.

This part I disagree with, so much so that incest is lucrative that many developers got to where they are by exploiting this fetish. I think they've abandoned incest because they're afraid of losing everything they've achieved because of the Patreon drug.

Lucrative in the 'mainstream' sense. The whole losing everything they built up thing being why they abandoned the fetish bit kinda proves my point rather than backs up yours.

Not saying I'm happy about it, and the ban is bullshit, but the fact that so many devs bend the knee to the ban also proves my point, at least insofar as the devs themselves feel it's more lucrative to ditch it than keep incest content.

You can argue the point all you want, but those are the exceptions, not the rule.
And the fact that Patreon changed the rules isn't really helping the argument.
Now, I should have said 'not as lucrative' rather than not lucrative at all, but regardless that is very much true in the mainstream sense.
In the indie scene, sure. Things are different.
But hey, the indie scene can let you get away with more, which I'm glad for and why I support indie games more, so long as they stay consistent and don't jump ship bc of patreon or some shit like that.

This "losing everything" thing I think is an exaggeration on their part, it has been discussed several times that there are some options besides Patreon, I don't think their income would drop so much if they opt for other supports, well, at least that wouldn't displease a good part of users who love incest. But they prefer to lick Patreon's balls. And it's for these and other reasons that I barely see the day when Patreon abandons all pornography in general.

 

[Uthuriel]

I have no sympathy for devs that want to make incest content and still use Patreon.
Those idiots literally beg to have their accounts terminated.
They should have switched to other platforms ages ago... but instead decided that getting ass raped by Patreon is fun.
Good for them... seems they enjoy the "no-lube experience"...

I definitely agree that devs should diversify their support options like through subscribestar or what have you, but there's also the matter of what's accessible to potential supporters and whether they actually back projects or not. Cuz, you can love a game.... but also never back it.

Even though I love a certain incest game, if it's on Patreon I would never support it. It may seem ignorant of me, but I consider it would be inconsistency on my part if I supported it on Patreon. Already at subscribestar I support some games.

Wife and Mother is another clear example of how incest is profitable, a game that was released in 2017 but which the developer has been dragging out with ridiculous updates, milking and filling the pockets of the suckers who make a point of paying for next to nothing.

 

[Drakenite]

It will probably get abandoned again well before it gets finished, but yeah, it's back for now. Dev has pulled the disappearing act on it multiple times in the past, so don't get your hopes too high.

How's the progress up to the end of CH 11? Does the game have vaginal for B/S or M/S yet?

No idea. Was going to wait and see if it gets a few more updates before starting it again. Don't even own the same PC with my old saves, so If I have to start from scratch, I want some good content. Most likely it will get dumped again before I get around to actually playing it.

Okay.
There's a difference between being personally profitable and lucrative and what I'm actually getting at.
Are those examples the industry exception or the norm?

Were they successes BEACUASE they had incest or in spite of the content?
That's the real set of questions here.
Largely speaking, pointing at 1 or 2 games being personal successes isn't really a good indicator of anything. Not least bc you're outright saying that it's just a milking schemes taking advantage of desperate fans of the fetish...
That's not really showing how profitable something is so much as pointing out how gullible and desperate the community is since the dev profiting is a leech that's not really doing anything with the medium.
That's my real critique here and why I'm saying it's not really at the stage of being a really lucrative thing. It's not about one or two projects or clear leeches. It's about the whole medium here.

I don't think there is really enough data to support or deny your argument. I know Incest is one of the most popular fetishes in adult games. Doesn't make sense to me that this would in any way financially hurt a game to include one of the most popular kinks, unless a Dev is worried about Patreon and just plays it safe, which is also perfectly understandable.
Either way, as long as there are Ipatches and games with family fun times, I will be a happy pervert.
By the way, just bought Shut up and Dance on Steam, and it's fire. Top tier family fun times.

 

[Zoro@stro]

As there is not enough data to reinforce any of the arguments discussed here, it is best to stop here.

 

[Allan Wolf]

For someone to say that one of the most popular and sought after tags in all of general pornography is not profitable seems like a joke lol. I think the fact that these developers abandon incest is because they want to try something different, at some point I imagine they will return to incest, especially when Patreon stops supporting pornography.

And where exactly is the data for that claim?
I'm legit curious.

 

[Crevanille]

I don't mind being proven wrong, but seriously.
If ppl are gonna claim 'incest is the most popular genre/tag', which I wouldn't mind if it were, then... where is the data that actually backs this? Outside of the indie game space I mean.
No, I'm legit curious.
Mostly, it's because it 'seems' popular enough, but there isn't much hard data here to support the claim 'it's super profitable'.
Again, naming just one or two games isn't enough.
The whole 'patch' thing isn't reliable and platforms like patreon changing its rules don't help.

Now, fetishes being popular are one thing, but that's not at all what I'm concerned about. Things can be popular and 'seemingly' be successful but not actually be representative of actual success..

So. yeah. data.

Being proven wrong is fine, but just one or two examples aren't enough. I need someting ACUTALLY concrete here.
Otherwise, let's just move on.
