Porno Studio Tycoon

How could a game with a name like Porno Studio Tycoon fail! The idea is awesome and as a person who loves games such as Theme Park, Game Dev Story, and even Theme Hospital. I thought to take that kind of strategic sim gameplay and mix it with the world of porn sounded like a great idea.

Quite On The Set!

I know that right now you are thinking that Porno Studio Tycoon is going to be full of sex, drugs and rock and roll! Well, it may surprise you to know that there is no actual “explicit” content in this game at all! Yes, you need to hire the hottest porn stars in the world and come up with sexy scenarios for them. However, the actual sex…. Is kind of left to the imagination.

This is very much a business style game and the idea is that you take your porn studio and make it the number one in smut land. There is way more to this than you would think and the game does throw a lot of things your way.

All The Right Pieces

Of course, hiring sexy actors and actresses is a huge part of Porno Studio. There is a selection of people you can hire and they will all have their own personality. This starts with the kind of scene that they are willing to film which ranges from foreplay all the way to extreme. Making sure they are happy and fed is also something you are required to keep an eye on.

That is not all there is to making a great porno! You also need to scout locations, hire crew, book places to shoot and so on. I was actually very surprised at just how much I had to do before I was even able to shoot my pornographic masterpiece. Once you have shot your movie, that is only the start of making money!

Dollar, Dollar Bill Yall!

You see once you have shot the movie, you need to edit the movie. You also need to make an attractive cover and market it to the world. The movie will do better in certain parts of the world than others ranging from factors such as tastes and how well you have marketed it. It is pretty amazing at how much thought you have to put into it before you release it to the wild.

Porno Studio Tycoon has a tutorial that is rather strange. I would say that you would be better off learning via trial and error than going through this!

No Action?

The way that the game handles the sex is rather interesting. As there is no explicit action, the game uses objects to simulate what is happening. A great example I can give you of this is where a juice cup with a straw will “shoot” juice all over the place! Sure, it is kind of weird, but it is done in a very tongue in cheek kind of way which I am sure many people will appreciate.

I found Porno Studio Tycoon to be a fantastic idea for a video game. It is a proper sim game that just so happens to be set in the porn industry and you have a lot of tough decisions to make. I get that some may be disappointed in the lack of sex, but as far as management games go. There is a lot of positives here. I for one would love a sequel to this with even more options thrown my way.
