Might have dropped too soon, had an error with the legs. Decided to add a shadow too. Sorry for the double post, IDK how to edit old ones.

Dragon dropped! Drew this in GIMP. Was fun.

Softcore NSFW is a thing. I think @nylonics art is like more so like that. They post more so on their X/Twitter account than their Newgrounds account. Maybe a thing to look into. Don't have many other examples. I think they are also working on a comic that is NSFW, but not focused on sex.

Not very common, because it usually doesn't add much to a story or media to add full NSFW art for their story, in fact doing so usually reduces the audience anyway. Which is why people would rather just have a tasteful censored pan. Seeing what a characters genitalia looks like or them doing the dirty doesn't usually add much to the story.

To be honest, I sometimes feel this same way about prolonged PG romantic scenes. How much does every second of the make-out and fondling of each other add? If the story was written well, I should understand how much they like each other.

But there are some times I can see there being some artistic not pornographic use of adult content in art.

• The context is gritty reality. Not necessarily violent. Like just trying to convey the adult uncensored existence of that world. So dark dramas and horror come to mind. The adult content, or in another way the not trying to censor the adult content adds to the "real" and "believability", because the universe itself is trying to be raw, uncensored, not hiding anything.
• The art piece is about the human body (or whatever not censored version of the creature). Like anatomy reference or practice. But also perhaps the piece is like on the subtext of it. If a piece of art is about someone's self value in their looks it makes sense. Doesn't always have to be negative. Could be their proud-ness or in the least acceptance. Censoring would get in the way the message or even contradict it.
• Comedy, like you said. If something is funny, adult or not, why censor if it would ruin or detract from the humorous tones.

But in terms of groups? Don't know what you would call it. Softcore, is still semi-erotic usually, but I don't know any other sort of group. Maybe a new SoftestCore, lol.

I think enough people in this thread have told you to reevaluate your actions than actually helping, lol. Not that they are wrong. Just be sure you know if it is really what you want to do.

First off, you are unlikely to gain much useful information, at least regarding data for adult games for females on this forum. Sure the accounts are are pseudonymous, but people aren't very likely to self admit what kind of adult games they prefer. Actually, I just tried looking up insights and statistics, but there sparse any about what adult games female do well. Actually stats about adult games in general are sparse. You could probably get a general guess by looking up insights, on what games females prefer, what are popular adult game categories, what are popular adult categories with woman. Again this isn't all encompassing, but in theory will be better than groping in the dark when making a game not for yourself.

Like other's suggested, in general for making games as a new person into game development, I would suggest Ren'Py, at least since that is a pretty popular way to make visual novels (which a lot of adult games nowadays use). You can also consider GDvelop, which is a visual programming based game engine (that is free and open source), or if you want something more closer to a full game engine, Godot (another free and open source game engine).

Also since you are new to programming, I would suggest a small of project as possible, and not worry to much about the quality, but more about finishing the entirety of the project, start to finish. I'd just make a short visual novel with maybe 2 or three different endings, or maybe dress up game. Learn how the whole process works, then try to expand and try something a bit more elaborate. Just like when learning drawing you start with simple shapes, then you learn how to make more and more complex shapes with the basics.

I could maybe discuss more in a DM if you want, but I am not really experienced in game development, just have made a couple of small games as a hobby.
