A Suggestion to NSFW Devs?

As much as it is enjoyable to see more NSFW game developers growing on here. Especially for the gay/lesbian NSFW games. It ISN'T enjoyable to keep asking "is the MC/player character dominant?". Or having to go through the effort to download the game to blindly find out. It would be nice if more NSFW developers tag or say "MC/player character will only be dominated by everyone in this game"/"MC/player character will only dominate everyone in this game"/"MC/player character will sometimes dominate some characters while being dominated by others in this game". Or something like that. I'm not trying to be mean just kind of suggesting something to make it easier for dominant playing players and other type of players to better navigate through the NSFW games.

If anyone has a better solution to this. That would be nice to hear too. ☻

That would spoil the plot though, wouldn't it

No? Letting players know if they can dominate or will be dominated doesn't affect the story. It helps some players decide if they want to go in the game. If there are people out there who feel that way. Then the dev can place that in their dev post for those who want to know this little part.

Is not that easy. A game can take you for Dom/Sub paths for certain characters, other will only have a dom or sub paths... tagging with an "Only dom content" or "Only sub content" might not be accurate for some games (for example, mine, where you switch off between those two).

But I can understand the frustration of a player looking for dom content, only to find the MC is a sub (I tend to write more to the sub part, but I'm working on that and making my next storyline balanced between those two), I added a part on my FAQ section in my game description addressing that. If the game includes BDSM or content that features dominant/submissive behavior, it should also include a little description about this.

No, it really wouldn't. Dom/sub content isn't a plot twist, it's a basic part of the premise. And even if it were used as a plot twist, this is the sort of thing that deserves a big warning label both on the website and inside the game. Hiding this sort of thing in what looks like a "vanilla" NSFW game is equivalent to hiding porn in a kid's game. Don't do it.

I suggest that the platform should set up a zone for centralized management of adult games, and set up a regional IP lock for these games to prevent access to these contents by countries that do not recognize pornographic games. Otherwise, the website will be completely blocked by these countries in the near future, and they cannot even buy ordinary games. Many authors will lose a lot of income.
