I am sorry about the war in Ukraine. I am glad you and your family are in a safer place now.

I do wish you the best of luck. I never played Brothel City. And I only came across this page recently, and I am not going to pay for an incomplete game that will never be finished. But looking at the pictures, and reading about it, the game could have been interesting. City building and adult only games are not two genres I would think to be mixed together, if successful it definitely would have stood out I think. And I probably would have given it a try.

I do think AltairPL makes all valid points. Given the lack of activity here, you probably would need a large amount of luck for a someone with game developing skills to randomly come across this post. However I do not want to discourage you from trying. Take in account all the feedback AltairPL already stated, realize you will have to put in some work to find and recruited some programmers/developers and other things. You said you have been working with a game developer company these past few years, so that probably has given some more insight, knowledge. skills, and/or connections you did not originally have when you tried making this game. You probably would still need other people's help to make the make game, but those added experience might help you during this second attempt.

In your original post you mentioned something troubles with marketing. I am not expert in marketing, but I think I understand lacking a gaming news site or magazine dedicated to adult only game it probably is an uphill battle to market such games. I did come across something that might help. "Might" being the keyword, as I am not an expert and do not how these things work. There are few YouTube accounts that review adult games. They cannot show the sex or nudity parts of the game, but they will show clips of parts of the game, and talk about game. Currently I have two that personally think is good, maybe found one think is better. But I will provide links to the ones I found so can at least see what I am talking about.

Adult Game Reviews

When you reach the point of having a product, maybe you can reach out them (or someone else you like better) and see if they will review your game. Maybe they will say yes. Maybe they will say no. Maybe they personally have a policy to not review games from companies/developers that reach out to them. I have no idea how these kinds of things work, it would be something you have to research and figure out yourself. But I wanted to share the knowledge that these kinds of YouTube accounts exist. Research and use that information as you see fit.

Whatever you decided to do, regardless if decided to make another attempt at this game or not, I wish you the best of luck.
