However, since 90% of the people doing anime-style art ARE drawing child-like characters, as a game-maker this makes the difficulty of finding what "I" consider a decent character artist extremely tough, and then there's the problem of decent Erotic art. Realistically, only infants have that kind of face and I am absolutely NOT attracted to infants! (I don't even like kids in general.) The main problem is their Faces those monstrous eyes with the teeny-tiny mouth and barely existent nose. Truthfully, the problem isn't so much the characters' Bodies, though ultra skinny bodies also look too child-like to be attractive (erotic) to me. However, a game with Kanou styled characters I'd snap up in a heartbeat. I wouldn't touch an erotic game populated with Ayase styled (child-like) characters with a ten foot pole. I find Kanou, on the other hand, seriously hot. I don't see anything AT ALL attractive about Ayase. In the story, Ayase is supposed to be so hot no one can resist trying to seduce him. He's supposed to be 20 and a college freshman. The one on the left that looks like a high school kid is Ayase. I don't care if the story states that the character is 20 or even 30, characters that look like teenagers or children don't do it for me because I am Not a teen-ager, (and hopefully, neither are any of the people playing my erotic games.) Just looking at characters that resemble children makes me feel like a pedophile - and I don't even find them attractive!Įxample: These are the two main characters from the yaoi manga, Okane ga Nai (No Money). The main problem is that what one person thinks is erotic - others may not.Ĭase in point, I do NOT think teen-aged looking (child-like) characters are hot. However, erotically exciting one's readers is far more difficult than simply horrifying them. If you don't feel disgust or fear, that horror story has Failed to be horrific. Horror also relies on physical (visceral) reactions from the reader/viewer - disgust and fear in particular. Good story or not, if it doesn't make the reader hot then it has FAILED to be erotic. Hopefully there's a good story too, but the real point of Erotica is to make the reader hot. How do you make an erotic game worth playing without good erotic art?Įrotica, more than any other genre, depends on the readers'/viewers' Physical (visceral) reaction to it. If it's a game worth playing, then people will come. Samu-kun wrote.just make eroge if you want to.
