I doubt that this genre will fall,sure there are other companies involved in this industry that failed even though they had some known titles(KID which is the creator of Memories Off series but was later saved by Cyberfront and Neko Neko Soft which was the creator of Mizuiro which is a great title!)…

Actually this genre is still going,going and running strong,no wonder SNK Playmore also jumped in this genre with Days Of Memories series on the Nintendo DS!!

LONG LIVE THE GALGE GAME INDUSTRY AND GENRE!!

I think the reason why the number of eroge games are spontaneously large are because:

1. As you said, they're very very cheap to make.
(I for one can make one without spending more than 100 pesos and mind you, I don't have much knowledge on programming. The only thing I will really need is time.)

2.The next is really simple: They LOVE doing it. They wouldn't mind taking a long time in making one just to show to the people what they made.
profit only comes 2nd. Although some do it for the profit but, these are the ones that give up in the end.

I hope that explains why they're a lot of them in the market.

The eroge industry makes more money than the idol industry. Looks like people prefer 2d girls ^^

As long as there will be new eroge fans, and as long as the wellspring of creativity doen't dry out, I think the market will still survive.

And bluemist, you're right in saying the ROI in eroge is pretty low… Spending much on the resources yet profiting a little…

Hmm… if a certain BG company will diversify its lineup, it might lose out the core otaku audience but gain the mainstream audience. Lose-lose or win-win?

(still dreaming about a collaboration game with Square Enix, Konami, Key, and Leaf working on a massive crossover RPG like Chaos Wars… and being exported and localized outside Japan…)

Good post–that reminds me about an author of Western novels back when those were popular in the 50s and 60s–he supposedly had three lists, for bad guy, damsel in distress, and setting, and every time he went to write a new book he just set the three lists next to each other, drew a line, and whatever it touched was his basic plot…something similar would probably work well for bishoujo game developers…
