I would love to get back into adult gamedev, but...

General
It's been recently pointed out that my latest game release on FA is almost 7 years old at this point, and that release was thanks to 
caesarcub after he surprised me with new assets for the game. The truth is that I never lost my passion for porn games, but moreover I always wanted to make "good" games and following the hurdles I faced on different projects I was doing as a furry, I decided to abandon it as a hobby and try my hand to go pro instead. I've since had my name attached to a few things, but I never lost the interest for porn stuff and in recent months, the desire to "come back" has been growing. That being said, a few realities have been preventing me from doing so.
Time is probably the main factor. I work long hours by necessity and working fewer hours on the money making side would require to make back that money elsewhere. No matter what you do, rent is always do on the first after all, along with other fiscal realities. I'm also concerned because FA no longer accepts games, following the death of Flash and not moving towards supporting Unity in WebGL. That means I would need to host the game elsewhere (probably on Itch.io), which feels like it could open a whole back of worms considering the subject matter. It also would impact my visibility to drive people towards the games. And finally, there's the problem of content. I'm an ambitious guy, I always was trying to make cool stuff and my expectations have always been through the roof, both here and in general. A few months ago, I started a bit of work on an 3d open world porn Sonic game and managed to get a few things in before I moved on (I had navigation, inventory, dialogue system, porn in dialogue, some porn combat system, a quest system and probably a few other things I forget). It was a fun project, but it just felt like I had to get back to focusing on stuff. The reception was also very tepid and I guess it didn't succeed at the time to just create interesting conversations with people.
I don't know where I'm moving from here. Making a living always has to take a priority, but I guess I'm musing about the opportunities and the "what ifs"

I still play Lusty Labyrinth from time to time.
Cannot wait to play some more games. ^=^
But hey you should do what you think will be best. No rush right? It does you no good keeping those ideas locked in your head!
Having life responsibilities is completely understandable, and takes priority. If you do end up sharing anything you work on I'm most of us would love to see it.
I hope you'll get the chance to work on something again, even if it's a long time going as a result of the time sink.
Buying sex slaves, managing them, improve their working/sleeping area, etc.
Best luck to ya, can't wait to see what ya make.
How are you enjoying the game making process, any ambitions in general? Working towards a vision?
Then my main game project is Escape From Horny Jail, being made in RPGMaker. It's a slow process but I do enjoy it and seeing things gradually come together.
I think I've posted a bit of both on my gallery.
I don't spose you've an Itchio do you? I'd be more then happy to follow you on there (As I do here)
Your work is cute, fun, kinky. I like it!
And oof, the professionalism. I hate it when things are labled as "taboo" so oft, you can't scratch an itch or release some pressure build up with out someone being offended
I don't use Itch much yet, my work these past few years have been more in the professional sphere so it's been published on gaming platforms which provide proper commercial opportunities. But I might do some Itch stuff moving forward, we'll see if I can get back into things.
