Abstract

Building on case study data, this paper identifies processes and actors that form an enabling ecosystem for indie porn game development consisting of game platform technologies, asset stores, commission-based artists, F95zone, Steam, Discord, and crowdfunding platforms (e.g., Patreon). Co-creational and organisational perspectives provide a rewarding exploration of this phenomenon.

Keywords: videogames, pornography, ecosystems, crowdfunding, indie games
