Once upon a time, I was a horny teenage boy. Now, I'm a horny
adult woman.
</p>
+ <p>
+ I also (as is probably obvious from a bunch o0f other pages on
+ this blog) grew up in the golden age of the internet, when the
+ whole thing was new and exciting. A decentralised wonderland,
+ where you could find anything and everything.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Which, obviously, meant there was a <i>lot</i> of porn on it.
+ The internet today is safe and sanitary, which. Like. OK. Yes,
+ it's safer for kids. But now that spaces are for
+ <i>everyone,</i> including kids, those rough edges are gone.
+ You're extremely unlikely to stumble upon someone writing about
+ <a href="../entries/srb2.html"
+ >the hentai comics of Sonic the Hedgehog</a
+ >
+ unless you're specifically looking for it. Adult only spaces
+ have been stripped away, smoothed off and siloed into very
+ specific places. Pornhub, Xtube... I know these names better
+ than I know my own grandmother's.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Back in the day though, porn was everywhere. As detailed
+ previously, my first experience of pornography was on Sonic
+ Cult, but shortly after that, I discovered hentai flash games.
+ By accident, in fact.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Flash games evoke noistalgia in basically everyone who grew up
+ in the 00s. For many it was Newgrounds or CoolMathGames, but for
+ me, it was funnyjunk. Funnyjunk was a content aggregator - it's
+ where I first saw a bunch of weebl's stuff cartoons, blode,
+ strongbad. It also linked out to a few other flash collection
+ websites, one was a site that collected hundreds of flash games.
+ Sadly, the name escapes me now.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ I played a lot of (relatively) tame stuff on that site! It was
+ all nicked from newgrounds or armorgames or whatever, but I had
+ a lot of fun hitting 'random' and finding Interactive Buddy,
+ Bowman 2, that penguin clubbing game, you know. But also plenty
+ of rougher stuff!
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Anyway, one day I hit random and came across a game called
+ Frank's Adventure - a top down lite RPG. I gave it a go, as I
+ always did, without really reading the instructions.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Played through, ran around the world, played the skiing minigame
+ that Tye from Digimon offered you. After a bit of effort, I beat
+ the game, and got presented with this screen:
+ </p>
+ <a href="../img/diversions/hentaigames/franksadventure1.png">
+ <img
+ class="blog-img-lrg"
+ src="../img/diversions/hentaigames/franksadventure1.png"
+ alt="A hentai image of a woman with red hair, spreadeagled on a bed facing away from the viewer. You can see her pussy and a tity"
+ />
+ </a>
+ <p>
+ THAT'S A FUCKIN TITY. TITY? IN VIDEO GAME? I'M THIRTEEN YEARS
+ OLD THAT'S TWO OF MY FAVOURITE THINGS IN ONE!
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Now look. I'm not gonna pretend the art in this game is the best
+ hentai in the world. This is another of the 'pics' you get, and
+ other than looking a bit like Aerith it's pretty poor. Look at
+ the rendering on that pussy. Poor show.
+ </p>
+ <a href="../img/diversions/hentaigames/franksadventure2.png">
+ <img
+ class="blog-img-lrg"
+ src="../img/diversions/hentaigames/franksadventure2.png"
+ alt="A hentai image of a woman with brown hair who looks a bit like Aerith, facing the viewer and spreading her legs. She is fully nude."
+ />
+ </a>
+ <p>
+ But this experience flipped a switch in my brain. The idea of
+ being able to play video games and get rewarded for succeeding
+ with a titty was insanely enticing for me, a cumbrained idiot.
+ So I spent an <i>insane</i> amount of time searching out 'free
+ online sex games.'
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ And with the aforementioned era of the internet, there was
+ absolutely no shortage of them! Which was <i>great</i> for me as
+ a horny teenager. But, sadly, this entire genre is disappearing,
+ at least in any kind of properly creative sense.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Plenty of porn games still exist, but by and large they have a
+ decidedly different oeuvre than their heyday of the early
+ internet. They're on steam and itch now, which is cool, but if I
+ bring up the top selling adult games, well, the list looks like
+ this:
+ </p>
+ <a href="../img/diversions/steamadultgames.png">
+ <img
+ class="blog-img-lrg"
+ src="../img/diversions/steamadultgames.png"
+ alt="A screenhot of the Top Selling category on steam's Adult Only listings page. All of the games are Source Filmmaker-esque 'sex sims,' apart from the top hit, which is a furry FNAF porn parody."
+ />
+ </a>
+ <p>
+ There's only one way to describe this: extremely fuckin' hetty.
+ Apart from that top result, which is some kind of FNAF porn
+ parody thing. Aside: furries fucking rule and they deserve the
+ world.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ And look. Politically, yes, hentai games of old are pretty het
+ too. Being 'rewarded' with sex for basic video game chores is
+ terribly objectifying. But the modern hardware and lack of
+ limitations on what people are able to make means the games
+ <i>feel</i> more het, more cookie cutter. Not to 'back in my
+ day,' but like everything else made in flash, hentai games had
+ real personality. You could track a creator's works and lineage
+ - Z0ne is probably the most well-known example of this, but
+ they're far from the only one. Mittsies is out there making
+ full-ass videogames like Helltaker and Awaria now, which are
+ excellent, and they got their start making MLP porn games, many
+ of which had some pretty extreme kinks in them. Game recognise
+ game, Mittsie.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ So why am I writing this? Well, in short, I want to chronicle
+ some of these games. Revisit some favourites, if you will. Maybe
+ even do some analysis! Why do they work, why do they titillate?
+ What is it about porn games that buzzes a certain subsection of
+ brains just right? We may even find out something about
+ ourselves along the way.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This will be an ongoing project, with this post being the
+ kickoff. I will be updating irregularly. I don't promise to
+ complete every game (some are huge undertakings!) but I will
+ play for at least half an hour or so to get some reasonable
+ impressions of each game.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Cool. OK, some housekeeping. <b>First of all</b>, cards on the
+ table, I've dabbled in this field before. Long ago I made a game
+ called
+ <a
+ href="https://gnargle.itch.io/ace-attorney-the-dark-age-of-love"
+ >Ace Attorney: The Dark Age of Love</a
+ >
+ for a porn game jam run by other noted lover of porn games,
+ eevee. (She's making her own game,
+ <a href="https://eevee.itch.io/fox-flux-deluxe">fox flux</a>,
+ which is porny if you're weird with it! For any hets reading
+ this don't worry about it). It actually ended up getting
+ featured on
+ <a
+ href="https://kotaku.com/sex-soaked-ace-attorney-fan-game-gives-a-whole-new-mean-1828522714"
+ >Kotaku UK, then later, the mothership itself.</a
+ >
+ It's not good, by any stretch, but I did make it to impress my
+ now-wife, so it did what it needed to do, and it has over 14,000
+ downloads on Itch.io. It's probably the most statistically
+ significant thing I will ever do as a creative, which is weird
+ to think about. But the point is, I contributed to the scene as
+ well as consumed, and I feel pretty cool about that, honestly.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <b>Secondly:</b> how do we play these games nowadays? Flash is
+ long-dead, after all. Well. That, my friend, is where
+ <a href="https://flashpointarchive.org/">Flashpoint</a> comes
+ in. Essentially Archive.Org for flash games, applets, headers
+ and so much more, it is an astonishing project that really
+ doesn't get the recognition it deserves. Flashpoint provides a
+ launcher, a packaged version of flash player that works on
+ modern hardware, ruffle (a flash emulator) for the games that
+ support it, and an exhaustive list of almost every flash Thing
+ you could possibly imagine, all in one convenient package. 18+
+ flashes are excluded from the search by default, so we'll be
+ toggling them on in the config if you want to play along at
+ home.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <b>Thirdly:</b> These games are all products of their time, and
+ may contain content that some may not prefer to see. I will be
+ operating to some extent under a [Creator Chose Not To Use
+ Archive Warnings] structure, where most things will not be
+ content-warned. I will, however, make exceptions for things we
+ may stumble across that include racism, homophobia, or other
+ things that fall under the category of hate speech. I do not
+ expect to see much of this, but there will likely be racist
+ caricatures from time to time. Additionally, any particularly
+ extreme kinks will be warned for; e.g. incest, lolisho, scat,
+ etc. Any screenshots containg warned kinks will not be shown
+ in-line and will only be text-linked. Everything else is fair
+ game and will be shown in-line, so don't read these entries at
+ work!
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ <b>Finally,</b> this is a bit out of the realm of probably
+ expected posts for this blog, so entries in this diversion will
+ not be listed on the main RSS feed. I will be maintaining a
+ separate one (linked at the top) that you can subscribe to if
+ you want to know when I make a new post in this series.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Cool, with all that said, expect the first post sometime this
+ week! I dunno what it'll be on. Maybe I'll let Flashpoint RNG
+ us. See you then!
