Why do all Dating sims look the same?

Wouldn't there be a niche for dating sims and eroge that featured different drawing styles and character designs?

>> No.5181339

Because most artists are shit.

Having one artist is the only way to go, same goes for story line, apparently.

I remember a thread where it was displayed how "heroines" are created.

The artist makes several bodies. These bodies can have attachable heads, eyes, hair, breast and accessories. When the creators find one they like, they keep the template.

I don't really care about the art style. But every dating sim is same shit with overuses character archetypes. Why can't they make something original? Dating sim in Victorian England or dating sim where you are a rich bisexual loli. Seriously Japan this is all becoming damn boring.

Sometimes, they just tell a story you see from a character's view, not trying to tell you 'here you are cool guy, these girls want your psedo-dick'.
Also, eroge just implies erotic content, not a specific genre/game.

You build different stories for CUSTOMIZED shit and different for set personalities.
You can't just modify the later 'a bit' so it will work for the former.

If it's just a "few more pictures" and "some dialogues," then it's just a gimmick, and just makes a well-written protagonist impossible.

No.
Cause Vns are not about 'gaming experience'.
You read a story.That is it.
Dating sims could allow for more 'faceless' leads, but you need not super customization. Your stats and actions determine which girl you interact with and whether you succeed.
You do not need 20 fucking variations of the dialogue.
