Please describe your proposed solution.
While I've mostly been shitposting these ideas on Twitter, there is a genuine marketplace for an adult gaming sector that I have yet to see in any Cardano project. In-fact, the vast majority of "adult games" (let's just call them porn games so we stop pretending) are just low effort card games with a few scantily clothed women or men and offer zero penetration or sexual interaction. This is half assed, and won't get any attention from the real horny gamers that populate the internet.
A prime example of a small company that was relatively ignored is the now popular Nutaku who basically had like a few hundred players back in 2015, and now have over 50 million registered players and have an annual revenue of 10 million USD. Or the Company Kagura Games who also launched in 2017 and have gained a significant portion of the adult gaming sector whilst having their own store and also selling on platforms like Steam and GOG. These games are also fully compatible with the Steam Deck that has now been setup to rival both Xbox and Playstation.
As no blockchain has openly embraced adult gaming considering the vast majority of adult products in crypto are useless grifters, I aim to personally bring this sector of the internet into Cardano.
How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?
There are currently 50+ million users of Nutaku, 2% of all game sales on Steam are adult gaming based and Japanese adult gaming websites like j-list.org have millions of registered users + players. There in-fact exists several adult gaming communities (I can provide sources) that publish these games on indie platforms and have a cultish fan-base of their works.
While I realize that Kreate Platform is an indie artist platform and NMKR is also an NFT minting platform, neither of these scream "yes we publish porn games", thus don't really get the attention of the adult gaming community. The impact of onboarding these people and showing them that a blockchain ecosystem openly embraces their sensibilities cannot be measured. I would argue that it could bring in millions of users just from the mention of a platform that will accept indie adult game developers.
How do you intend to measure the success of your project?
Online sentiment, new members of the Cardano community and game sales in $ADA. I'm only asking for 75,000 ADA to give it a shot and see how much of an impact I can make in the ecosystem. Nutaku raised over 10 million USD in funding. I'm hoping to get 1 working game published on a store like Steam or GOG with Cardano NFT integration and will see what happens from there.
Please describe your plans to share the outputs and results of your project?
The output will be weekly. I use my Twitter account like a diary so the community would actually get updates as they happen. If it sells and generates traction, we use the funds from sales to reinvest in another game and another, until there's enough funding to launch my own Cardano adult gaming platform.
