Everyone knows sex sells! Even better if your game has actual sex in it, right? It’s like easy mode! But is it really that easy these days? The games market as a whole has become highly saturated, and the quality of NSFW games varies wildly. But, we have hope for a better future!
In this session, discover how Critical Bliss, one of the top lewd game publishers, is raising the bar in adult games. Also, steal some tips from HotPink Games, who’s reached 6 million game downloads by intrinsically mixing their game design with sexual content. And, leave with actionable ideas on how you too can make your game more pleasurable– even if it’s fully SFW.
