@wan @Arkana @wgiwf The other interesting thing about NSFW games in Japan is simpler: when the Sega Saturn came out devs found One Weird Trick to make money: take a porno game and take the sex out of the game.
Games like Desire, EVE Burst Error, Yu-No, and more ended up with Sega Saturn ports with the porn removed and just the story, and needless to say a game like Yu-No still was solid without the sex scenes. This continued onto the PS2 era for sure, and the PS2 had many "all ages" VN ports without the sex scenes (and then there were SFW VNs that solely focused on a story, like Steins Gate as well).
Eventually this led to lots of money being made and some mainstream success, which would inevitably cross over into the western weeb circles. VNs are far more popular than they were a decade or a two ago, where they would either be obscure or the kind of games that some SomethingAwful writer would take the piss out of. -

@wan @Arkana @wgiwf don't forget the fact that the nsfw artists in the West do it for the money and less because of the waifuism (some end up in more mainstream careers in the animation sphere but so many think patreon is the limit) -

@wan @Arkana @wgiwf well there's also really high budget NSFW stuff, and doujin circles getting high budget like Type Moon. According to 16-bit sensation (the manga not the anime "adaptation") after an infamous incident in which a kid stole some random ass NSFW game and the boomers went Jack Thompson in the media over it, the NSFW industry both started to self-regulate but also that's when slowly the production values went up and tones shifted.
I mean, you don't see devs like Alice Soft in the west, or many of the other ones throughout the eras like Elf, leaf, and more. Nor do you see people saying "wow this is a solid game except it has porn scenes but fuck it's a solid game", or treating western NSFW games as a cult thing like weird VHS era movies.
To the west, porn games are always like what James Rolfe reviewed with the Atari Porn episode of AVGN, or meme tier games like Rapelay. -

@xianc78 @beardalaxy @coded_artist the idea is to make a disc bootable on the PS1, but also the PSOne, PS2, and even the PS3.
The discs that Datel and others engineered in the past (when they had hookups to a pressing plant to let them use modified equipment and could produce shit like Action Replay self booting discs and the FreeLoader) were like this, they could boot on any Sony console.
If you could press a PS1 disc, there are hundreds of millions of consoles it'll work on if you count all the PS1, PS2, and PS3 revisions made. You'd just need a different region disc for NTSC-U/C, PAL, and NTSC-J. -

@xianc78 @beardalaxy @coded_artist Also the thing with "PSX slop" is that it's not actually PSX/PS1 homebrew, and while there's SDKs that are open, the problem with the PS1 is that you need to get the "wobble" (as it's nicknamed in the community) right on the discs to make them boot.
https://www.psxdev.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=1266&start=20
That needs to be worked around to make self-booting PS1 homebrew.
On the n64 on the other hand; there's the CIC chip being cloned, which is why there's commercial homebrew and bootlegs for it. Commercial homebrew games only exist as a result of cracked DRM; as opposed to the ability to dev for it.

As for the "PSX slop" games, they're unity/godot/similar games mimicking the PS1 look, usually of the Mega Man Legends games, and it's the trendy art style. Low-poly, early 3d console games are easy to mimic and it's become the craze lately because pixel games seem done to death for most people.
Interestingly enough during the GG era I read an article mocking the overdone pixel style and it had an interesting quote that ended up being a prophecy:
"What happens in the next few years? Will we see PS1 or N64 style “retro” games with horrendous textures, low draw distances, and and slow framerates? All to hide the fact the a dev can’t handle making an engaging “modern” looking game?"

@xianc78 @beardalaxy @coded_artist the latest fads are psx slop and mascot horror
Even the sonic 3 movie credits scene emulated the former which tells you a lot -
