The urge to make a lewd dating sim of some kind... like I CAN make one, i have the know-how, but I don't really know WHAT makes dating sims appealing?
By that I mean I don't really know the hook of dating sims.

As in, "what do fans of lewd dating sims look for in those games and that makes them enjoy the game",
and preferably not as a throw-away game but as one they might return to...

Once I finish this game (I'll probably do a couple more playthroughs, there's so many things I want to try!), I'll jump into other #VisualNovels and #DatingSims.

Are you guys interested in my ramblings...? Perhaps I could turn this thread into some kind of semi-serious commentary on any visual novels I'm playing. Give recommendations, that kind of thing. I mostly play sapphic visual novels, I played quite a few of them last year, for example, and I could write short reviews on them.

Also game a bit. Sologamer for the most part. Last week I finished #CultoftheLamb. Currently playing #Moonlighter. I also love to play #Hades and #SlayTheSpire all the time.

Games I enjoyed a lot are #HollowKnight #Omori #EldenRing #Spiritfarer #Undertale #LaterAlligator #DiscoElysium #Pokémon #Bloodborne #GhostofTsushima #Yakuza and #visualnovels (#umineko) as well as #datingsims (#otomegames #boyslove).
