Who's responsible for the jiggle physics?

We don't have any idea what you're talking about ;)

As a force of nature, any programming tool automatically implements jiggle physics without any need for further input.

Is what you meant to say, right?

Yes.. this

Are there some genres/fetishes you don't support personally?

We're not about kinkshaming, but PERSONALLY no one on the team is into scat.

Yeah, you shouldn't shit on people for their preferences.

edit: My most upvoted comment ever is literally a shitpost.

We would never want to shit on anyone, unless they were into that.

Who had the idea to run adverts with pewdiepie?

Only taking credit if you think it was a good idea

How do your families feel about your job?

Cyrax: My family doesn't care at all. We're all super open... but not in that way you sicko.

Nord: They know nothing, I don't know how to tell them lolol

Brandon: They know. I told 'em, sorry Nord

Will your release of Custom Order Maid 3D2 be identical to the Japanese version, in terms of content?

That is the plan!

Do you have any plans to expand to more games that might not be porn/hentai, but are still in the realm of fan-service?

Yes, absolutely, we love games with fan-service, so if anyone makes a really cool game that would fit on Nutaku, get at us!

how hard was it starting the company out?

It was very difficult getting going. At the beginning developers were very hesitant to jump on board the adult gaming train as you can imagine. Once the industry started seeing that there was a large interest from the fan base, it really started to take off

It got off eh?

Quickly and everywhere

Hi Nutaku! What was it like to be part of Anime Expo's first ever 18+ section and how did it compare to previous years?

Hey!! It was absolutely wonderful! We were able to be ourselves for the first time at an expo and show all the anime tiddies. It was quite a small section this year, with just 4 booths, but next year it's going to incorporate any company that sells adult products, so it's going to be bigger and better and we are extremely excited. Do you have any suggestions of things we should do next year?

Suggestions for next year 😏

Bring me with you and let me hang out with all of the waifus. Fear of missing out was so real 😭

on ittt!!!!

Have you ever faced any major backlash from parents for 'corrupting their children' or do many parents just straight up not now about you guys?

Not really, we get the odd email of "what is this, why is my son signed up for this?" but that's really on the parents, not us. A few times we've ended up getting the parent to take over the account!

What would it take too work for you guys as an artist?

You can just send your portfolio to [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) and we'll check it out! We're always looking for new artists to work with on different things :)

I wanna ask it, since you are in the business...

Nowadays, in front of porn videos there is always that porn-game ad.

Is it legit?

Thanks!

Great AMA! :)

If it's a Nutaku game? Yes!

If not, proceed at your own risk :)

Hi guys, thanks for taking the time to answer some of our questions!

Any interest into featuring adult content for non-porn games like mods for Skyrim/Fallout? A good example would be the mods over at Loverslab many of their mods are really high quality and they deserve some more attention IMO.

We are certainly not opposed to that idea, if we are ever approached for something like that, we'll jump on it :)

Presumably your day to day work environment is pretty candid. Do you ever accidentally start an anecdote outside work and then realise it's totally inappropriate?

It is pretty candid, but we do keep it very professional. We become so immune and used to looking at hentai we sometimes will be sitting on the bus just scrolling through our twitter, thinking nothing of it, until we realize OMG ANIME TIDDIES EVERYWHERE! Also in situations where one of us is rocking a "Hentai is Art" or "Fakku" t-shirt in public and someone gives your a knowing glance. This is always fun.

Isn't that right.

We created an entire art show based on this scene! CHECK IT OUT

What kind of educational backgrounds do each of you have?

Nord: Applied Math and Physics

Aha! We finally found the guy doing the boob physics!

*girl ;)

Tom: Diplomas in media, followed up with 15 years experience within the games industry. You're always learning.

Cyrax: I have a degree in graphic and user interface design and have completed several courses in user experience, management, and leadership.

Bob: I went to tech college for Audio Engineering. Also have completed numerous online courses for development, business, and project management.

Are all of you non-adult gamers? Which are your favorite games?

Cyrax: My fav non-eroge games are StarCraft 2, DOOM, and I'm stoked for Monster Hunter: World.

Nordland: Orcs Must Die, The Witcher 3

Brandon: Big fan of most sports games like NHL and FIFA.

What happened to your merch store?

We are working towards creating a new and much more improved Mech Store. The old one didn't meet our standards so we want to offer our players a better store experience. Stay tuned, you'll be able to purchase all the boob mouse pads you want soon!

*edited to correct "Mech" to "Merch" but leaving as Mech because reasons.

So what’s Holidays with the parents like when they ask you about work?

Cyrax: YOU GET A BAD DRAGON DILDO AND YOU GET A BAD DRAGON DILDO!

Nord: I just tell them I'm in marketing...

Brandon: Gets weird when they open my gifts

What has been your greatest obstacle as ya’ll have grown into your niche in the gaming marketplace?

We're always astounded by just how much demand there is for adult games. So finding players has never been an issue.

Kick starting the adult gaming industry in the west has been a challenge, but we're finally see the fruits of those labors as more and more amazing hentai and adult games are released on Nutaku. We're happy with where it is now, but there are so many amazing looking games coming soon. There are over 100 games currently in development to come onto Nutaku in the next year.

By far the biggest obstacle we have faced is working with payment processors to make them understand what our content is and how it is different from straight up porn. It's been a struggle for the last 3 years, but we've made great progress with them in regards to what they will allow us to accept payments for. We've ended up in a place we're really happy with.

Do you have any afterthoughts about your VR setup at AX? It seems that some people enjoyed it and some found it distasteful.

We were really happy with it actually, it was awesome being in the 18+ area, so it was less shocking for most people as that is exactly the kind of stuff that belongs there. People had a lot of fun trying out the demo and interacting with the devs of Custom Order Maid 3D2.

Next year the 18+ section will be 5x bigger, so we're really looking forward to see what will show up there!

I've got a few.

-Why exactly is the plug being pulled on Osawari Island?

--How do I go about getting things like its soundtrack and character art?

-What made you guys want to keep it running after DMM shut it down on their site?

-Why do toasters have an option to burn your bread to a crisp?

Hey,

Why exactly is the plug being pulled on Osawari Island?

The decision was decided by the game developers based on the revenue generated. Unfortunately Osawari Island was an expensive title for the developers, they ran at a loss for a long time trying to make it work.

How do I go about getting thing like its soundtrack and character art?

I'm not sure if the developers are allowed to give out that content, as it still belongs to the original Japenese IP holders of Osawari Island. But you could ask on their discord! https://discord.gg/Rft7rE

What made you guys want to keep it running after DMM shut it down on their site?

The live ops developer found success with it for a long time, even after the original version closed, and loved the game. The game developers were very sad that they had to move away from Osawari Island. They all loved the game and the amazing community around it.

Why do toasters have an option to burn your bread to a crisp?

Some people just like their toast a nice shade of black. WE'RE NOT GOING TO JUDGE! Though they are wrong.

Some of your critics seem to believe that in order to put a game on your store, you demand that certain types of offensive content are removed. Is that truly the case?

Yes, we cannot sell content that is illegal in Canada or the United States or doesn't pass our payment processors compliance rules (these have been dramatically updated since we first started).

But certainly there are some things we can't distribute like underage content, snuff, gore, sex with animals, etc.

How did you guys come up with the name?

You wouldn't believe it...

New + Otaku = Nutaku

How did you create a business relationship with KISS for Custom Order Maid? Did they already know about you?

We have a rapidly growing team in Japan to help us out with Japanese business relationships, keep an eye out for some more big Japanese IPs coming next year.

At AX did you have any...uncomfortable/awkward moments?

Not at all! We're super comfortable and used to everyone coming up to us and talking to us about hentai, so there's not much you can throw at us to make us feel uneasy! Our fans are super cool to interact with as well.

Do you have or are you planning on hiring a social media person like katie from Pornhub? /u/katie_pornhub

Nord: ouch... I gotta step up my game...

What do You say when people ask you about your career?

Cyrax: I tell em the truth, no shame. Except when I have a little shame... then I just say a gaming company.

What are your favorite themes in adult games?

Tiddies and booty...

Seriously though we're all waiting for the next big cyberpunk style adult game. Love it and there's not enough of them!

We all are waiting for that one cyberpunk game...

I know right... already been 5 years!

What are your favorite non pornographic games? And if you could make any popular AAA game into a porn title, what would it be?

Cyrax: My fav non-eroge games are StarCraft 2, DOOM, and I'm stoked for Monster Hunter: World.

Nordland: Orcs Must Die, The Witcher 3

Brandon: Big fan of most sports games like NHL and FIFA.

I've never heard of your platform before!

How well do your games cater to those of us whose right arm is... Ah.. "indisposed?"

We love to say we're great at offering "One-handed gaming" ;)

Check it out for yourself https://www.nutaku.net/

I just had a quick skim through of your website, I couldn't see any of men. Are there any good games that feature men for a gay male or straight female audience?

Awesome question! We don't have any right now specific to those, however we're actually in the process of working with several developers right now to bring on more games that are inclusive to the LGBTQ+ community. This is a big focus of ours in the upcoming year. We want to offer games to everyone!

How'd you get to where you are? I'm kind of in college and not sure what I should be doing with myself.

What do you love to do? Follow your passion!

Everyone here is passionate about anime boobs soooo

Are you guys ever stereotyped because of your career? If so is it ever a downer?

Nord: Sometimes, by very small minded people, but IDGAF.

Do you see any difference between Western creators and Japanese creators? (I'm not asking you to say one is better than the other)

Bob: Each dev team has their own personality and creative style. It's too broad of a question to lump all JP and Western teams together. We love working with teams from all over the world and seeing their quirks across the ever growing library of Nutaku games.

Are you guys responsible for those ads on all sorts of porn sites that show copyrighted characters like DVA and Lara Croft being fucked?

Nah that ain't us! We only advertise high quality Adult games, not... those...

How did you feel about Dan Bulls video/advertisement for that game which has a name I dont quite recall?

It was awesome, super creative. Our whole office enjoyed it!

What exactly is your vision for adult game eSports? Why do you believe there's a space for this type of fierce competition in adult gaming?

One of our primary goals is to break down the stigma around "adult" games. We don't want games with adult content to be ostracized like they are now. Sex is a natural part of every persons life, you wouldn't exist without it!

The idea that sexual content is still so taboo in gaming is really a shame. I mean after all, are you more likely to have sex or kill someone, yet violence is the standard in gaming. We're by NO means anti-violence in video games, we just want sexual content to have the same treatment.

We think getting into competitive gaming is one of the best ways to shine light on this and get the question out there. We hope in a few years that competitive gaming in the adult space is not only accepted, but revered.

Right now even games like Street Fighter struggle with some of their levels and character skins in the competitive gaming scene. DOA too.

This is just the start of eSports in adult/sexual games, there's so many improvements needed to bring it close to the mainstream standard, but we're very excited for what the future holds!

I am a programmer with a college degree in computer science. My question is, how would one such as myself get into the adult gaming industry. What tools are the most important to have. How can one get these skills if they are currently in a job unrelated directly(it tangentially related due to CS) gaming, porn, or adult gaming?

Thank you and I hope to hear a response.

Bob: Depends on what you are looking to do. The Nutaku website/platform is built with a set of tools that would require a specific skill set to work on, but each game is unique in how it is built and operated. I'm sure with your degree you have a skillset that would be useful to some web or game dev teams so just keep applying.

Do you catch one of your colleagues with a boner time to time?

Just Bob

Hey guys, love the website, keep up the good work. Would you consider selling a 500 gold pack? Personally, I'd be more likely to buy gold on the spur of the momentAlso, can you share any information on what is replacing the Puzzle?

Edit: No Dames today guys?

Hey, we do currently have a 500 gold package available! :D

We're working on the puzzle replacement now, it's a bit early to reveal any details. But it'll be a player levels/achievements based idea :)

Favourite adult title?

You go first

Does size matter?

If you're talking about the size of your burger then you better be rocking 3 patties. #fat

What’s HR like in your company?

Workin overtime!

... Same as any company, we're good :)

Do you have a personal favourite when it comes to your story driven games?

Cyrax: I love the story behind Armor Blitz. It's about Valhalla, where the spirits of World War and Cold War weaponry go after they are destroyed. Tanks become cute anime girls and guns become little critters (hamsters, cats, etc). It's awesome, but I don't want to ruin it. Check it out, it's free-to-play :)

How do you feel about Steam removing sex based games? Are you happy because it'll bring more customers your way?

Have they removed them ;)? Well we deal with certain payment processing rules due to our Adult content, which Steam does not. So we feel we should all be on a level playing field.

No, it doesn't help the adult gaming industry. The more platforms that games can be available the more revenue game developers have access to, which means it will only increase the quality of the sexy games industry. Obviously for us, like any platform, exclusivity is very important. But this town can have more than one horse :)

Steam is a competitor for sure, but competition is not a bad thing!

Are they certain eroges that you're hoping to get the right to sell on Nutaku?

We're actually a distribution platform, like steam, so we don't have licensing deals like Mangagamer. Game developer or publishers are free to put their game up on Nutaku.

We would love to have the Nekopara series though. SO CUTE.

Why the hell can't people search for stuff on your site? Why do some games that contain certain genres, not actually show up in the genre specified (like Sexbot for sure contains anal, but doesn't show up in that genre)? It makes searching for stuff an absolute nightmare, because the genre I just mentioned has like 5 games tops, which is just mind boggling to me given how widspread it is on other adult sites.

We are still working on improving our search/filtering features, definitely some kinks to work out including a proper type-in search feature. For the example you mentioned, the game developers supply us with a list of genres and tags in their distribution package. If they forget or don't include something you can always poke us through our "suggestions and feedback" chat on the Nutaku discord server and we will check it out. Link to the discord is on the Nutaku homepage.

Anal tag has been added to Sexbot QA :)

Never actually heard of you before [sorry] but what do you tell your SO's parents when they ask you what you do for a living?

Brandon: It was an easier conversation than the one I had with my SO's GRANDparents :D

Nord: My SO's parents do not speak English, so I just smile and nod. Off the hook there.

Will you bw releasing more games compatible for IOS? I would appreciate being able to play more and hopefully not have them running through Safari but as an actual app I can download.

Unfortunately Apple has strict regulations for adult content so a Nutaku iOS app isn't likely. You never know though!

How do you measure your audience over time? Is it simply number of clicks or can you track the time spent per game?

We have many metrics we use to measure our audience and the engagement. Time spent in the game is a big one for sure

Woah, my first question in an AMA. Not sure what to ask... Does working in an adult industry desensitise towards porn? What's the process for picking the voices for game characters? Is there awkwardness when someone records moaning (I assume there's moaning in adult games?). Are some of the plots as cliche as they are in porn movies? Is there a pet in the office? Sorry if some of the questions are dumb, it's not exactly my genre 😅

Awesome questions!

I would say there is a degree of desensitization. When you see it all day, every day, it definitely becomes less shocking.

We don't have to worry about the awkwardness of voice recording, since we're just a distribution platform and don't actually produce any games in the office.

Cliche? Yes absolutely, but so much fun!

Pet in the office? No pets, but we do have a wall of pet pictures, including Cyrax's baby burrito.

What has been your most difficult game to program or to promote?

We have a fantastic marketing team who rarely find trouble promoting a game!

Any chance your VR games will ever make their way to ps4, or would I have to get a PC based VR system to check out your VR games. Or wait... will these run on cellphone VR rigs?

Some of them will run on cellphone rigs, some on PC. No Nutaku games will be on PS4 - they aren't interested in adult content

Have you thought of advertising with pewdiepie? He seems open to playing sponsored adult games?
