Adult Game Fest and Nutaku's Role

Adult Game Fest is a virtual convention designed to foster connections within the industry. Anna Lee, Executive VP of Game Fest, stated that Nutaku's participation as Presenting Sponsor is a significant milestone for the event. Lee also emphasized that "The Next Big Adult Game" offers developers a direct opportunity to present their creations to Nutaku.

The showcase is intended to discover ideas, creators, and titles that could shape the future of the industry. Lee added that Adult Game Fest aims to create connections that can advance the industry, serving developers seeking opportunities, publishers looking for new talent, and players interested in discovering upcoming games.

Nutaku, described as one of the world's largest dedicated platforms for 18+ gaming, will evaluate submissions for "The Next Big Adult Game" based on factors including concept, originality, gameplay, creative vision, audience appeal, and potential within the adult gaming market. Participants will present their creative vision, gameplay, and commercial potential to Nutaku, an established platform and publisher with experience in bringing adult games to a global audience.

Nutaku's History and Market Presence

Nutaku.net is described as the world’s largest gaming platform dedicated to adult games, boasting over 400 18+ games, more than 50 million registered users, and over 130 million monthly visits. Nutaku Publishing, the funding and publishing arm of Nutaku, has a $10 million fund available for studios. This fund targets studios with successful mainstream games, games that did not reach their full potential, or games in development that are nearing completion.

The company has previously engaged in various initiatives to promote adult gaming. In June 2018, Nutaku sponsored a two-day pop-up exhibit and experience called "Hentai is Art" in New York City. This event aimed to present Hentai-influenced art and gaming as imaginative and fun, encouraging exploration rather than avoidance. The event took place on June 29 and 30, 2018, in the area where Chinatown meets Tribeca.

Nutaku has also been involved in adult esports. In July 2018, YouPorn sponsored Nutaku’s first adult esports competition, the Nutaku Lewd Gaming Championship. This tournament featured Gamebau’s title, TnT, a mature version of World of Tanks. The competition involved 64 players competing for cash prizes, with every participant receiving a free 12-month YouPorn premium membership. Ben Faccio, a Nutaku product manager, described TnT as one of their "most coveted titles," noting its uncensored anime action integrated into gameplay. Charlie Hughes, YouPorn vice president, expressed enthusiasm for sponsoring the first adult esports tournament, highlighting YouPorn's prior involvement in esports with Team YP.
