A community for NSFW game developers, programmers, writers, artists, and all manner of enthusiasts to get together to discuss their work, collaborate, and generally discuss.
r/nsfwdev is a community for NSFW game developers, programmers, writers, artists, and all manner of enthusiasts to get together to discuss their work and collaborate.
NSFW game developers typically use existing game engines and game creation tools such as RPGMaker (for JRPG-type games), Twine (for interactive text fiction), Game Maker (primarily for 2D game development), Unity (primarily for 3D game development), and a bunch of others.
You do not need to be a developer if you want to work on creating NSFW games. Game development teams often have writers, musicians, artists, and designers amongst other roles. You probably have a place here if you have ever decided you wanted to make something pervy and interactive.
Stylesheet is Structura.

I would sincerely like to know how many of you work exclusively with nsfw games.
Overall very happy with how it's going, I love working on games 😄
For some reasons unclear to me, i suddenly have the idea of making an android game. All the ones i have played are AVNs (think milfy city, summertime saga). I definitely want my game to be received well. Assuming that it is, how transferrable is a renpy game to ios and pc (windows?). I have been recommended to use renpy as a good entry point for avn. I have also read that most game revenue comes from the us, which has a huge ios market. Would you suggest using/not using renpy
I always feel like sometimes mine can be to long or to short, my scenes now usually have a build up of 1 to 2 images, and then the sex scene itself, which also includes, 3 internal and external cum shots. I know it varies depending on the scene but what do you think is a good length? Looking for any advice
Hello,
I’m currently developing an nsfw title and I have some concerns regarding steam, patreon and stuff. I was hoping to get some insights from people who already successfully published nsfw titles.
I guess my biggest concern right now is that steam will reject my title or request significant changes. I did some research and the consensus of the community seems a bit ambiguous to me. Some people claim steam green lights everything that does make it clear that none of the characters can be interpreted as minors, others claim they got rejected for no reason.
My title features a lot of fetishes, some more extrem than others and I don’t know where steam draws the line. I understood than in the case of steam asking you to remove features, you just do that and patch them via an update, because steam will only check very thoroughly at your first commit. Is that the way to go ?
Also, I would like to know if it is smart to setup a steam page in advance even though steam would need to check my game first to see whether its even allowed ? I would rather not miss out on the chance of collecting wishlists for my game.
Lastly, patreon seems to be a very common thing among nsfw producers, bet it artists and such, how can people like me profit from using patreon ? Can somebody quickly explain the usual process please.
Thanks in advance, I guess I’m just really afraid on missing out in general. Be it the steam market or patreon, I would like to participate as well.
I've recently released my biggest game yet, playtesters and I didn't encounter any issues that appeared for certain players. Of course, I quickly found the cause and made appropriate update. But the game already got "Mostly negative" stamp after two days which is a death sentence for small developers.
But reviews are not even that negative, just marked as "negative". They liked it, but expected something much more for the genre. I made 3D JRPG-esque game, for context. There also are the usual "crash" and "didn't like it". I wrote how to report bugs so I can take a look, but review will not be changed. And you know how it is with NSFW - people are not really likely to write a review at all. Anyway, math is against me at this point :P
I planned to make even better game next, but now I have to rethink if it's worth it.
I'm working on a game where you have to complete NSFW focussed tasks in real life and I could use some help finding fun and challenging tasks 😊
The game gives you cards with quests for your real life, called Chards. Complete the Chard to reveal the next one. Those can be some simple tasks, save and not save for work (even though it'll focus on the nsfw part) or more challenging ones that might take quite some time to complete.
The goal is to have a game that'll challenge you for quite a long time, maybe even years.
Some example Chards would be:
Oh you expected something more lewd? Complete this Chard by being naked for one hour straight. Excluded are things like taking a shower or while still being covered by any type of fabric.
Let's introduce a bit of rng to this game. This Chard is completed when you get horny for no obvious reason.
Complete this Chard by orgasm without touching yourself. You can't let someone else do it for you.
If you have some ideas for tasks, please let me know. I'll need a loot of them for this 😅 Very thankful for all the help and ideas I can get 😊
I'm thinking about making an NSFW game for some time now. Initially, my idea was to create a visual novel with a complex story and multiple endings, but after writing 20 pages of the story without even touching any code, I started to think that maybe it’s not a good idea for a first project.
So now, I’m planning to make a pixel art metroidvania platformer game about a delicate wizard fighting monster girls (and boys) who are kind of crazy horny. This game would be heavily inspired by titles like Forest of the Blue Skin and Eroico, but with more lore and world-building, I hope.
So what do you guys think? I believe that making it would be very hard—creating all the mechanics, animations, sounds, effects, tilemaps, and developing the background story. But my previous idea of making a visual novel is pretty hard as well, considering what I’ve done so far.
Hi Devs, I am creating an adult RPG where you can do quests and some of these quests or just the world will involve fictional animals (wolves, horses, birds etc like creatures). I wanted to know how platforms like Patreon and Steam react to this, will they allow this or there will be some problems?
The Quest or Interaction with animals will only be:
How do I find folks hosting NSFW game jams? Thanks :)
Hello fellow NSFW game developers,
A while ago we had some complaints that while this subreddit claims to be about collaboration it actively forbids it. It appears that the majority of you is in favor of creating some space that allow us to find people to collaborate with. So I went ahead and created such a place in form of a pinned post.
I also adjusted the rules of this subreddit accordingly. We used to only allow paid job offers and no job requests at all. But from now on both paid and unpaid jobs requests and offers are permitted, but only in the dedicated Collaboration & Job Board post.
If you have any questions or suggestions for this post or about the rule change, feel free to post them here.
This post is for posting collaboration offers, job offers and job requests for fellow NSFW game developers.
We are currently running this as an experiment. Depending on how it works out, we might change the rules for using this post later. If you would like to talk about this post itself, you can do so in this separate post.
In order to avoid too much back-and-forth discussion in this post, please provide the following minimum information:
What if I make an ugly bastard game jam that would allow people do to whatever they want and to make a MC who is ugly who will join?
I have an idea for a game and wanted feedback on the concept and the design document. It's a roguelike dungeon crawler set in the gay bathhouse Aqua Vitae, combining elements of exploration, social simulation, resource management, and dating. Players navigate the bathhouse, engaging with various NPCs while managing their resources and building relationships, ultimately aiming to become the owner and decide the fate of Aqua Vitae.
It would have two modes: a 'story' mode and a 'free-play' mode. In story mode, the player is new to town and starts going to Aqua Vitae. As gameplay progresses, they learn about the history of the bathhouse, its secrets, and its struggles. Their decisions will affect the bathhouse's fate and the community.
The 'free play' mode is a straightforward roguelike. Players enter the bathhouse and explore the level, encountering various NPCs and hooking up with them, collecting power-ups along the way. The level ends when the player runs out of stamina.
Here's the link to the entire design document: Google Drive
I welcome constructive feedback. This game is ambitious, especially for my first game, but I can do it. Is this something you'd play? Would it appeal to straight but gay-friendly gamers? I'm still working on the artwork but am considering using a layered, 2D-pixel art-style sprite system for the character design.
Hey everyone! I’ve spent the whole day updating the Souper Game Steam page to make it more attractive for visitors. I’ve added new animations, refreshed the banners, and gave the page an overall fresh look. Check it out and let me know — did I succeed in making it more appealing?

Hello everyone I created this game jam yesterday and it's going to start in 19 hours, and you have about 60 days to create a visual novel of the Owl House.
I will make the next best lewd game, and to do that I must know what the people want.
Please share what would make up your ideal pornographic game.
here's some topics to consider:
Everyone is welcome to share any ideas and preferences they like, no matter how vanilla or perverse,
Looking forward to hearing what you think!
Explain this to me, please? Feels like they should remove it from the sub's description because it's very confusing. The rules are not clear.
My last post was not promoting a game or looking for a job. Nor was I looking for anything for free.
Time and talent shouldn't be defaulted as volunteer work. What is the actual purpose of this subreddit? Simply to discuss the process of making a NSFW game?
Again, if nothing about this sub is for collaborating, then take it out of the description. The game industry is suffering, people need income from any source possible.
Thinking of the best way to release my adult anime game to steam.
I’m currently making a retro style visual novel (think VA-11 Hall-A vibes but it contains adult H scenes and graphic 80s anime violence.) I do think it would appeal to people who aren’t interested in the lewd scenes and just want the dark comedy and story so I have two questions.
One standard version without any H scenes and reduced sexual humour in dialogue and then one with the lewd scenes titled “(insert name) uncut version”. I know I could release the game with H scenes removed and have people patch the game from another website but I heard that steam doesn’t like this? I also think that making people patch it would reduce sales from folks who are looking for an “adult game” and don’t want to bother with patches.
Also, my game contains NO school uniforms or underage looking characters!!
Sorry if this gets asked allot. I’m new to this sub. Thanks for your help in advance!!!
Hello,
I would like to look for a Chinese proofreader, preferably a local to help with my project's localization into Chinese. The script is already complete but because it was partly translated by someone who is not a local, I just want to make sure there's nothing unnatural in there.
It's a paid job offering and I'm willing to pay up to 100$ . The script itself is not big so I feel this should be the appropriate amount but we can discuss more after you looked at the script.
Lastly, I don't know if I can find someone here but I would appreciate it if anyone has suggestion on where to find a Chinese proofreader.
Thank you for reading and have a good day.
Hello there, my game is called Melinda's Life, it's on itch and spicygaming.
Kinks included: bimbocifation, pregnant women, maledom, feederism, and abdl (optional).
The last kink is the one that makes me hesitant, I have thought about applying to patreon but they have shown in the past that they don't like that content, and I don't want them to accept me and then ban me, however, lately I have seen ABDL content flourish again.
And that's why I'm asking, I know the best option is subscribestar but I've tried and so far no response.
I'm beginning to think that a subscription page is not even necessary.
Hi! I'm making a (clearly original) idle game of an alien "plant" which gets slaves. I wanna post about stuffs that i make, like the jerking off / cumming mechanic, or my first ever pixelart, but I have no idea of where to post this kind of stuffs... Does anyone knows any mastodon instance / subreddit / anything else?
I just started getting into RPG Maker MZ, and I just finished all the tutorials. I want to make a game that has interactive portraits like Melty Quest and Violated Heroine, but I have yet to see how to do that in RPG Maker MZ. Is it a plug-in? I have spent hours on YouTube watching plugin videos to see if any did that, but I need help. Is this built into an RPG maker, and am I stupid? Or is it a plug-in? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I keep on hearing this as a thing people really don't like in nsfw games. What are some examples?
The game I'm planning is an action roguelite like Enter the Gungeon, for context. Each character will have 1 sex scene by default, with more unlockable.
Only 6 days left until the start of the NSFW MiniJam! I hope you can have a lot of fun and learn along the way. You might even meet other developers like yourselves!
The basics are simple: I am learning unreal engine and I want to make a NSFW game mostly for fun and learning. As such, I am interested in finding a 3d artist that wants to learn how to make game alongside me. There is no money involved (and won't be unless the project reach a point where it would be lucrative to do so). I am not looking for any qualification beyond "I want to give this a try".
Where can I find artists looking to improve their work and try for some project?
Thanks and have a wonderful rest of your day
Hey there,
After thinking about potential platforms to use like Patreon / Subscribestar etc... and the risk posed by censorship, I was wondering if some have considered Onlyfans as an alternative ?
I would assume it is more secure than Patreon in regard to censorship but I have never seen any nsfw dev use it.
Tank you for your thoughts :)
