    Imagine using a kiddy porn game with an antisemitic stereotype to push your “free Taiwan” message. I can’t think of a single worse way to promote a cause.

    Creepy is an understatement.

    This game is Lona RPG, which if you’re in the anime community you eventually come across. It’s an ero game made by Taiwanese separatists.

    In it the player takes on the role of an obviously underaged little girl in an absolutely brutal fantasy world where literally everything wants to sexually assault you. Very graphically. Orcs, dogs, monsters, fishmen, humans, everything. All is depicted in the absolute maximum brutality ways it can be.

    It also includes antisemitic imagery, such as the happy merchant:

    The intro screen to the game is:

    Fuck everything about this game. Fuck Itch.io for continuing to host it and give its developers significant quantities of money. I’ve been trying to get them to take it down for literal YEARS.

    They know what the contents of it are, they do not care.

    Oh god, just a quick glance at the website for this game. This is child pornography and the creator is an utter creep

    Seeing things like this makes me feel like I should be making games. If some vile puke like this guy can do it, why can’t I?

      What kind of game would you want to make? Some genres have very accessible engines (RPGs notoriously so, as in this game), others not as much

        I’m probably too ambitious for my own good. I’d want to make a dungeon crawler in simple 3D, like the early Shin Megami Tensei games or like King’s Field. First person explore RPG. Like with blocky mazes and key puzzles and stuff. Those games are my jam. Something moody and wandery

        I’d do a horror game if it weren’t so saturated. I also don’t believe in my ability to write interesting stories.

        I can make music too and I’ve kinda done 3d modeling. I’m familiar with coding but haven’t done it for years. I might be at a slight advantage because I know how to do audio design, mixing, music, etc.

          That’s cool! There’s a youtube channel called Dungeon Chill that does a decent amount of coverage of indie takes on those grid-based dungeon crawlers. I know of him most via his coverage of Disillusion, which is an interesting such game (very “moody”, as you put it), though I think it has a lot of wasted potential in its design and he overrates it a bit.

          I love weird little turn-based RPGs, am an amateur musician, and have a bit of experience with helping devs with QA stuff, so I’d be happy to help you if you like. I think there are plugins in RPG maker for example that would let you do something like an early SMT (example), though there are surely also tutorials on how to make the same in Unity and such. If you can rein in scope creep, your goal seems very viable.

            Oh Disillusion is one of my favorites! It’s a cool little game with its own interesting style and I’ve been following the development on the sequel. The Desolate Hope is another RPG I really admire (despite the dev being a piece of shit)

            You’re really kind and now maybe I’ll consider doing some of this stuff for real. I’ve only ever thought about it, never had any concrete plans or anything. Maybe this weekend I’ll try and get Unity up and running and start going through some tutorials. When/if i have anything ready to show off I’ll let you know

              I’ve had Desolate Hope on the backlog for a long time because it looked neat but has the shadow of “Oh, it’s by the FNAF guy” hanging over it, as you mention. I’ll bump it up the list, given your praise of it.

              You can do it! Unity tends to have comically extensive tutorials that you can lean really heavily on if you need to, and there’s no shame in doing so. Based on what you said, your goal is along the lines of making something in your head real, not being a Big Deal Ingenuitive Game Coder™, so do what works the best for you reaching your goal as you define it. I look forward to whatever you may have to share heart-sickle

    You know, for all the flack Steam gets, at least this is sometimes the controversy that they get.

    Same with Nexus getting flack for taking mods of their website because they were indeed offensive to certain minorities.

    I looked at the game’s website and holy shit.

    Like this is so bad at trying to hide its intentions. The fucker’s clearly a visible bigot, piece of shit, unironically uses the word “cunny” and the character designs are clearly skirting the line of “Not pedophilia! wink wink”. Lotsa red flags in itself but, ok yeah “all” the characters are over 21. Suuuuure. How about you draw them that way and not skirt the line that changes depending on the head canon of the “player”.

    And to address the “muh flat chest hater” nonsense, motherfucker look at Bayonetta. Give her a flat chest, like complete plank. And compare her to this character of yours. The proportions of this character, their facial features, their size. All of that shit screams underage. Not to mention all of the other fucked up and disgusting themes that seem to center around SA, dehumanization and other shite.

    This is clearly made to appease to pedophiles and abusers with very, very weak shit made just to allow a backpedal “nu’uh, 8000 year old dragon :smuglord:” type shit.

    All of them must either get :pit: in a :barbara-pit: or get put in a two in one :gulag: :panopticon: combo.

    Before clicking the link I thought it was about LonaRPG.

    Saw it pop up sometimes as I’ve browsed other stuff and it came off as one of those depressing games where everything is terrible, everyone is terrible, and your MC suffers because they simply exist. You also have the flag splash screen that does the evangelical thing of “click if you believe Jesus is LORD of ALL”

    The Flag Splash Screen

    But as for Steam, there’s quite a few porn games featuring Hitler, this one just crosses steam’s policy with the MC being an obvious child.

    what-the-hell based on the comments in this thread I’m not going to click the link and I suggest that anyone who does clear their cache and maybe throw their computer in the ocean.

    Incidentally, I heard at some point that the phrase “cute and funny” is used as a circumlocution/dogwhistle of the word “cunny” by certain anime nonces. Which is a terrible shame, because sometimes an anime/manga is legitimately just cute and funny, but now I’m paranoid about describing things that way lest someone thinks I’m a creep.
