The first misunderstanding that must immediately be avoided is about the nature of the contents of Porno Studio Tycoon: yes, it's a game about the porn industry; no, it does not offer pornographic content. Sure, some designs have some sexy details, but there are no nudes and there are no explicit sex scenes.
Sorry, but for your daily masturbatory activities you better look the other way. Having clarified this detail, which has earned the game many negative reviews on Steam, let's try to understand what we are talking about. As the title suggests, Porno Studio Tycoon is a pure management software, in the sense that it tries to simulate the functioning of the professional pornographic film market, reproducing it above all from an economic point of view. In short, despite the cheerful theme, we are more in the parts of the Hollywood Mogul than in the Hunie series. However, this is where the first problem comes: the English translation. Zitrix Megalomedia is a small Russian team, evidently with little funds available. It is not otherwise explained why the texts were translated so crudely. Especially the part of the tutorial, one of the most dialogued and essential to understand the game mechanics, which are not very simple, is really bad. We are not in the part of Google Translate, but we are close to it. However, by digging through the hard to understand sentences, you can get a first impression of the game and its key points. At this point we just have to start our first game and try to become the new Riccardo Schicchi of the planet.
We reviewed Porno Studio Tycoon and conquered the porn market: find out with us
A market in perpetual erection
As already mentioned, Porno Studio Tycoon simulates the professional porn market. If desired, this is a limitation, given that many sectors of the pornographic industry remain outside that are now driving, but evidently it was decided not to waste the resources available for development in a thousand streams, concentrating them instead on a single aspect.
There aren't a lot of match customization options. At the beginning you can choose if you want to start calmly, unlocking the different aspects of the game gradually, or if you want to have all the options available right away. You can also select different levels of difficulty, which vary the initial economic availability, the number of actors that can be written and so on. Once the game has started, you are faced with a map of the globe in which some countries are marked, with the relative demand for porn. The main markets are the US and China, but there are also interesting secondary ones to invest in. The important thing is to understand what the audience wants to whom we will try to sell our products and to act accordingly. For example, if the US public likes actresses with big boobs in "extreme" movies, this must be taken into account, otherwise sales will be scarce. And here we can mention another big limitation of Porno Studio Tycoon, namely the variety, which we will talk about later. Let's go back to our global market. Understanding where we want to sell and what we have to try to sell, getting help from the reports of which the game is full, both in written and graphical form (initially we have little information, almost all indirect, but with the growth of the activity we will be able to spend money on detailed analyzes carried out by professionals, which will help us orient ourselves), we can dedicate ourselves to shooting our films.
Ciak, yes you ... turn!
To make a film, the first thing to do is to cast actors. In particular, the actresses are important, but The director and the camera operator are also very important, as they can make the difference between a cheap product and a successful one. Each actor has preferences and abilities, all related to the genres we talked about in the previous paragraph.
Obviously, artists and female artists have different costs depending on their overall quality, which is rated in stars. When writing it must always be considered that you must have the right number of men and women for the different scenes, because Porno Studio Tycoon does not provide the possibility of making gay movies (having been developed in Putin's manly and tolerant Russia we are not surprised, since there are laws that prevent the spread of gay-friendly content). Solved the performer problem, you need to rent a location to shoot the film. So you need to position the actors according to the type of scene you want to create; in the case of arranging the colors and focus of the camera with the Pornotron 2000 computer, to have clearer images and, if desired, you can take breaks to let the actors rest, during which they can be fed, giving them more motivation. Ultimately, the important thing is to be able to shoot scenes worthy of the name, give a name to the video produced and launch it on the market. Depending on the quality of the production and the strength of the demand, you will make more or less money and gradually you will have access to new possibilities such as a professional editing room or casting agencies for which the best artists work. The ultimate goal is to make money and conquer ever more consistent slices of the market. In short, become the kings or queens of porn!

Poor lubrication
Porno Studio Tycoon is a decent management software, but it has several flaws. The most obvious is the lack of variety. It is not just a question of the number of actresses and actors that can be written, not very high, but precisely of the type of products that can be created, which are too limited.
In short, a few hours are enough to discover everything it has to offer, ending up playing by force of inertia. The lack of variety also translates into a small number of surprises: the unexpected, fundamental in similar titles to challenge the player, are very few. The essence is that, including all the mechanisms that regulate the simulation, we end up repeating the same actions over and over again, without any desire to experiment with alternatives. The problems are also evident from a technical point of view. The general feeling conveyed by the interface is that of a flash game, with transitions between menus cut with an ax. The logic with which the various buttons were distributed is instead good, as is their integration with the graphic elements. If you don't follow the tutorial it can be tricky to understand some functions, but this is more of a player's laziness problem than of the game. Less successful are the drawings of the characters, which have an amateur flavor both at the anatomical level and in the coloring. They are not horrendous and, given that we are talking about a management software, they are not even fundamental, but much more could be done. Instead, let's spread a merciful veil on the music, which to define ugly is a compliment.

Your votePorno Studio Tycoon is a decent management software with big limits. It works for the industry it chose to simulate, but the lack of variety is felt after a few hours. The itchy subject, faced with unusual discretion, does not help to save him from the underlying mediocrity that characterizes him. To save him is only the part relating to the making of the films, which between actors to be cast, locations to choose and props to buy is at least interesting. Maybe give us a thought if you are a lover of the genre and want to try an exotic title.
PRO
- The section relating to the making of the films is well done
- Lots of market analysis data
- It lacks variety in all its aspects
- Technically mediocre
- Bad English translation
