The Devoted Developer
They put out one update every three months while promoting their Patreon where you have to pay $10 per month. Cultivated writing talent watching the first 5 minutes of incest porn movies on Dailymotion. If they make $1,000/month on Patreon they will quit their job to work on the game full time. Spends half a minute proofreading in-game dialogue. Don't you dare criticize them, can't you see how many minutes they put into these Daz3d assets they pirated? Makes a shitty DMD ripoff and wonders how they aren't the next big thing. Will stop updating the game at 0.04.

Nice thread guys, I loved every single post here, especially those about the Erics :coldsweat:
But there's a pair of things we should consider, something we can get in almost every H game...
The Grinding
Yeah, the omnipresent feature in every game (not only H ones) having stuff to be raised (money, experience points, parameters etc.). When brought to excess it reduces the gameplay into farming, letting players at boredom's mercy; lucky us, there's often a way to escape such plague, provided by modder in most cases, and by game devs themselves some other times: i'm talking about...
The Cheats
Player's best friends! Maybe you like the game and play it straight without them, if you have time. I don't have much time though, so I like to use cheats to reduce time required to wait for action results or to gather resources. Many people use cheats like me for such reason. or maybe you're really into cheats, you have fun cheating games more than playing them vanilla, no one should blame you for it, right? At least I don't ;-)

Grind is a problem and cheats solve this? Oh, my friend, you are overlooking...
The Russian Grind
When you have to repeat an activity an absurd number of times to progress and even the cheats don't help and your resolve is worn down worse than the Wehrmacht during the Russian Winter.
"Life is suffering" is a Russian proverb. Thus, to make your porn true to life, you must be suffering in porn as well. A grind so terrible not even cheats can make it tolerable, when you spend entire weekends just to get a handjob from one character after you've installed cheats.
Consider a character that you can only talk to once a week, when the stars align, at Saturday, 6AM in the morning in an obscure corner of the park. Your character normally awakens at 7AM, so to be anywhere at 6AM you need to spend the night in the park. You have to miss out on the Party on Friday night, which is a much more preferable location overall. To interact with the character, you have to bring her fairy dust, which you can't stockpile because you can only carry one at a time, and you can only get it during the day time. But there is only a 50% chance the character will be there at all, and only a 50% chance the character will accept your gift of fairy dust based on your maxed out speech skill, and if the character accepts the gift, there is only a 50% chance it will actually advance the counter based on pure luck. This makes it a 1/8 chance to increase the counter at all - PER WEEK. To what level do you need to advance the counter to get a sexual interaction? Just about 10. That sounds like a reasonably low number, right? Except because of the 1/8 chance it works out to 80 weeks where you attempt this, missing out on all the important friday night activities for over a year of in game play time. Truly a grind from hell.
And what does the cheat do? It gives you unlimited money. Which doesn't help you in this situation at all. The cheat also fills up your fairy dust, and lets you max your speech skill. So now you only need to do it for 80 continuous weeks. THAT is a russian grind.
Your reward? Your new friend gives you a handjob and the unfinished storyline ends there.
And if your game is very extra Russian, it will contain "anti cheat measures" that locks up the progression if it detects tampering of any kind, and will probably do so silently and unbeknownst to you.
Examples of a Russian Grind:
Big Brother
Second Happiness
Girl Life

Ok, I get your point. I added a picture, but opted for a more Russian one. The metaphor being that the player trying to fap is the Germans trying to make it through the cold Russian winter and not even the Blitzkrieging is helping.

I was just trying to say that that one was so funny it killed me. Hence the gif. Your added image is amazing though.
I have to ask, that grind you mentioned seemed oddly specific was it from Girl Life?
No, this specific example is from Second Happiness, which is also Very Extra Russian IIRC. However it is from memory so actual results may vary. Also I made up the bit with the fairy dust (Just some random token/mcguffin quest item) that's probably what made you think of Girl Life.
Girl Life is fairly tame once you have the game editor open and simply manually increase quest flags or straight up jump to quest events. Before that... half the content is hidden behind an "impractical to reach in a human lifetime" kinda grind.

Banality Simulator
"Life's gonna suck when you grow up, when you grow up, when you grow up..."
"Life's gonna suck when you grow up, it sucks pretty bad right now!"
-Dennis Leary
Life is boring, and games are used as an escape. And what's the best way to escape? By playing a more limited, more boring version of "Real Life". Tired of working yourself to the bone to get enough money and prestige to make yourself more attractive to the opposite sex? Well now you can take a break from that in order to play a game where you work yourself to the bone in order to get enough money and prestige to make yourself more attractive to the opposite sex! You work, you go to school, you do the dishes, you brush your teeth, you don't just play the mundane, you revel in it. And you do it again the next game day, clicking on some text to clean your room, or do homework.
For hours. And hours. And hours.
Once one begins playing the sheer and utter ambivalence to anything happening on screen keeps the player in a trance like state, clicking away as if a drone, waiting for a reward that may never come. Truly no genre has ever been as true to life as this. Fair warning though, occasionally the banality of your existence will be broken up by extremely short sex scenes, just to keep hope alive that the time spent was worth it. It never is.
Banality simulators can vary in their utter devotion to simulating the most boring parts of life. No activity is ever too Everything from the slightly interesting to the utterly mundane can and will be simulated by someone, including, but not limited to:
Going to Work
Going to School
Taking a Shower
Going to the bathroom
Watching TV
Looking at porn
Playing porn games IN a porn game
Eating meals
Brushing your hair
Shaving your legs
Applying makeup
Working out
Taking online classes
Tilling a garden
Going to a restaurant
Reading books
Mowing the lawn
and of course Masturbating
If that's too exciting for you, don't worry the bulk of your day will be spend standing in place advancing time. Yep, the excitement never ends!!!!
A true Banality Simulator knows that it's not just doing the mundane, though that generally depends on the author's adherence to the Stairway to Heaven principle. Most Banality Simulators are also caught in a Shifting Time Loop. They can and are used in every genre of porn game. Generally speaking Banality Simulators will not have a strict time limit as said limit would at least bring some meaning and consequence to the actions the player takes on a daily basis. If the amount of story and sex in a Banality Simulator is at least equal to 40% of the total time played, then it is just a Life Sim. All Banality Simulators have The Grind in them, but the truly devoted Banality Simulators use The Russian Grind instead. Men have died trying to unlock all the sex scenes in the latter.
Examples of Banality Simulators: Big Brother, Your Choice, Man of the House, Girl Life, My New Life, School, Love and Cousins, 90% of LoP games, Second Happiness

I see, you have spent some time playing Second Happiness and it gave you a full blown depression over night! But don't fret, in about 50 hours' play time you'll get a nice reward that will mellow you out.Banality Simulator

This is officially the best thread ever in this forum. We could actually stop rating games , we should just apply the Trope Factor. "Hmm..there's a new game in here...let's see...9 tropes ? Maybe i'll pass...hey, this one only has 2 tropes, i'll give it a shot ! " Devs should come by , before coming up with a game, and see how their wonderfully crafted, beautifully sublime novel has already been written, again and again. Keep it coming, fellas !
Oh I have to be guilty of some of these but the one that always bothers me and I have no idea why is the clothing shopping trip. Its always the same fucking store, the same fucking changing rooms and the same menu items. Peek or Better Not.
In my game i teased it was going to happen and the MC is like ya no I have work to do.
Also this thread is great

Dude, write that trope! The Fashion Show! Alternate title "I bought 8 sets of clothes and the changing room location for only 14 bucks, now I'll stretch that into 15 minutes worth of content!"Oh I have to be guilty of some of these but the one that always bothers me and I have no idea why is the clothing shopping trip.

I assume that Daz3d assets for food are really cheap and or free because the number of boring ass eating scenes in these games blows my mind. I mean it's fucking everywhere.

Sperm de lá Bocuse
Doesn´t matter how old or young the MC is, what profession he has or what kind of personality ... but his Sperm is always delicious to the ones whom he provides it with.
Everyone will like the taste of your seed: Your Mother, your sister, aunt, the depraved secretary, the raccoon that salvages your trash every friday night or Billy Bob Thornton. It´s just sooo magical and good tasting that ppl will go nuts for it.
And sometimes it even reacts to some pill or other kind of medicine, and makes it even more potent and powerful.
You never get any rest anymore, the more people have tasted your manjuice. But it would be kinda dick move to withhold it just for yourself, right?
Now, go out there and empty your tank
Examples: Big Brother, Harem Villa and that other game i forgot the name of.

So what your saying is all MC's drink a whole lotta pineapple juice.
"If you want to taste like pineapple, you must become the pineapple."
Deep philosophical shit the MCs adheres to.

The "Eric" is mimicking the MC's actions in games. Think of him like another player in a PvP mmorpg porn game. He's a better pervert than you!
