Mixing Casual Elements and RPG elements

Introduction

Many of the NSFW games use a mix of casual and RPG elements and use them to a great affect. To go over the things that make them addictive and be able to be used in a non-NSFW game setting for others to copy down the path of.

Casual loop, complex stats

This may seem to work against each other but in reality you can have the two go deeper and become entangled in a way that doesn't stop one gameplay loop from interfering with the other. You want to play a simple connect gems strat? Go ahead, want to auto battle it instead with you doing little to nothing? Go ahead!

The complex stats are the more in depth nerdy stuff. There is a seamless switch between type 1 and type 2 (passive and active play) which in turn makes it addictive. You can tackle levels in a under leveled manner as long as you're playing smart but playing dumb? You need to grind.

Passive and active play

A lot of missions you can play super passive but if you do choose to play active you can in turn speed up the progress/ decrease the rate of failure even if the missions are easy or even spare resources for other characters later on to make them more powerful.

Making the gameplay have depth

Many of the failed NSFW games don't realize this but your gameplay needs some form of depth, even the simplest ones do. Fap Goddess as an example has it where gems of your girls only drop, meaning you can RNG manipulate and depending on the mission choose certain girls for certain abilities.

Along with giving them different abilities such as healing, DPS focus, etc. These more in depth elements make the games worth playing even if the gameplay loop is very simple.

Not require too much brain power

At the same time, you can just focus on raw power and have to wait longer to get through the same missions. Yes the strat in the short run will be faster but in the long run will be slower and you will hit a wall much faster.

NSFW rare drops

Yes as bizarre as it is to say about a NSFW game the NSFW needs to be rare/  tease the player along like a carrot on a stick. You force the player to dance to your song and dance at the end of the day. So yeah that's all you need to know about these kind of games.

In conclusion

These genre of games are fun and enjoyable because the journey to the content is enjoyable, otherwise people move on.

Psychological manipulation #2 Big numbers

 This is a fine balancing act for players but the goal of the matter is to keep going for the big numbers and keep the big numbers with them getting bigger, and bigger then you get the picture. With this not only having one set of numbers get bigger but having the other numbers get bigger as well. You need some form of system to keep the players wanting the numbers to get bigger. For idle clicker games you use the reset system to get the player coming back; with the MMORPG system you scale down those numbers in updates so you can keep numbers getting bigger or use the shared power system for the players to use. Personally I like using an XP reset system; once the XP hits max for the level, the XP subtracts from the XP cost bringing it down to 0 and as thus allowing that big number of XP to still feel big. Then you might be asking about the player leveling up which there is always the COD reset level system where once the level hits a big enough number you have it where the progress...

Power Creep

 Power creep can be both a good and a bad thing. With power creep you have it where players are being fed more powerful items or cards where they ditch old equipment for the new toys and make it so players will actually use it. On that same note you're trading the learning the items/ understanding how to make oneself more powerful through strats by relying on your given powerful new toys and making players throw them away again once more toys do show up. It's a useful investment strat for card games but does get boring for games where the only thing you have to look forward to is bigger more powerful numbers instead of different strats/ tactics you've never seen or used before with the bigger numbers feeling meaningless. Person experience; with Yu-Gi-Oh playing the rogue format was more fun even if I lost because I wasn't losing to the FTK format and actually scaled down in power with having fun seeing different strats/ tactics, that the limitations that were self impos...

Deck Size matters

 Small decks These kind of games make it where the game is being given a more consistent/ predictable strategy. The outcome being much more predictable but having it where players are dealing with mill and burn strats far too often making them busted. Large decks These kind of games make mill/ burn strats basically useless but have less reliance on consistent drawing what you want; however in a game where search abilities exist with the more search power the more options that open up and remove the down side of having a larger deck becomes.
