Devs, how come there are so few balanced fitness girls/women in adult games?

[story99]

While instagram and other social medias are filled with BALANCED fitness body types, there are little to no such girls/women to be seen in adult games. There are of course some, which is quite appreciated, but I am surprised to see how FEW balanced fit girls/women are in the adult games, particularly the more elaborate aka established games. And no, I am not criticising any devs or games. Just pointing out an observation throughout my 10 years of playing adult games, and also being a fitness soul myself.

What do I mean with balanced fitness girls/women?
Quite easily a girl/woman who is not "superwoman" aka one who is filled big muscles, like on a bodybuilder/powerlifter. Somehow, whenever a fit girl/woman is in a game, she more or less looks like a man with TOO MUCH muscles. And then there's the opposite: super skinny with zero muscles. There's rarely a middle/balance to the muscles/tones. It's either too much/overkill, too big or no fitness at all. It's gotten me quite curious why it is like so. I surely understand the fact that "big butts" and too much is what's the real deal for many of the gamers. It goes without saying, but for me, it's nothing wrong with all of that either, considering that I love balloon'd bimbos and fit women in general, but I'd just love to see more "balanced" characters in some games. Surely, I am not the ONLY soul in here who'd love to see some balanced fitness characters, ooor?

Either way, here are some examples on what I mean, and maybe some ideas/inspiration for the devs (and others) when creating new models:

The examples you provided already resemble regular women in games. Therefore, if you decide to include a fitness woman, you need to make her a bit muscular so that she stands out from the others.

Apart from the fact that social media influencer who make their money/likes with their appearance are most likely either "artistic enhanced" or follow some crazy beauty/body plan not really viable for normal people with normal lives...

Go into a DAZ model store and look for those kind of models, you will have little luck.
And it's not easy to modify pre-existing models and not make them look strange (one reason why so many NPCs with disproportional bodies exist or are those super perfect, face filtered instagram models type of girls).

Also, two of your example images are AI Art.

Hmmm, that's strange. I must've missed them then. I guess I'll have to look harder. But to my knowledge (and I've played a looot of a-games), these women are NOT the typical bunch, to say the least. :O

I've always thought it was the opposite: The overkill muscular women = what's really the normal, while the types I posted would be the one's that'd stand out. Interesting view you come with, though...

Yes, you're right on that. And ohhhh how much I would've LOVED to do it, if I knew HOW, knew the technicalities of it and had the talent for it! Like I said, there are SOME devs out there who's got it nailed down as I wrote/mentioned, but the amount of times it happens, seems to be fairly rare... :O And if it happens, it's just so...poorly done.

Ironically, all models we see in games are "artificially enhanced", in some way. And yes, you're absolutely right about that, but that's just a technicality that doesn't apply here. We're just talking about some games. One would surely be mad and stupid to follow these influencer's "way of life". I was merely just posting examples. Nothing more, nothing less.

Not sure what DAZ is, but I believe you on that.

Hehe, it seems like you've got a grudge against these type of women the way you wrote your reply.

I am just happy that there are devs out there who know how to make/use characters that fits well into what I wrote in my OP.

And I guess I'll just look out for more of these type of games. It was simply something I was wondering about. No biggie.

And yes, I am aware, hence why I included those as well, heh.

Not sure what DAZ is, but I believe you on that.

Most visual novels are either made with DAZ models or with characters made with Illusion games.
So if you ever played a VN with 3d art that wasn't anime, that was probably DAZ.

Hehe, it seems like you've got a grudge against these type of women the way you wrote your reply.

No, why? I have no issues with influencers nor fitness gals.
They make money in their own way, I actually find it funny when people gat mad about how much they earn.
Way back, over 10 years ago, a friend of mine was following a youtube channel, watching every video. But then he learned how much money she made with her reather simple content. He stopped watching her for good.

And judging people by their body type is plain stupid.

If I have a (small) problem with something, it's with those who don't think twice when it comes to their favorite influencers. Not only are they often blinded and think that everything they see is the truth, but they also start to have a parasocial relationship with them. And then they make it their whole personality about them with unwavering loyalty to them.
That's just not healthy.

I dont think women like these are rare in these games, I just think the devs dont choose to dress them in form fitting active wear nearly enough where it shows off their curves

I dont know maybe there arent very many active wear assets for Daz or something

The women in the visuals you shared are exact copies of standard Daz assets. Maybe their abs are a bit more pronounced, but that's about it. Other than that, their breasts and hips are exactly the same. This is pretty much the physical shape of women in almost every game.

Perception my friend. If you go on any popular pornsite and start to separate the women first among professionals and actual amateurs, you will already see a huge difference. A 'good looking', instagram like person has basically no incentive to become a pornstar anymore thus there is a distinct lack of material when it comes to real porn. One of the best examples I have for that is someone like Liya Silver. Stunning as a instagram girl but effectively turning into sluts look when she enters porn.

This is the base any dev has to work with as this perception rules how the product will be perceived. There have been devs who tried with all kinds of models but in the end it is the 'average' of something that rules aka people actually playing and enjoying it. Add to this that the younger generations have been more picky about almost everything than ever before (dont show me lesbian, dont show me ntr, dont she me a dick and so on), the best approach for a successful dev is to not choose particulars.

Look into the comic section if you want more muscular woman, as I recall at least one or two authors in there , that have specialized on them. The type of woman you look for can also be found excessively in games that are made by Russian devs

From being "well toned" to "shapely slim biceps" to "sixpacks / defined abs" to "fit but not bulky" and everything in between, you can find all these and more in the games (more being exaggerated to absurd proportions)

In hentai / Japanese games, you can also find alot of them, although they do in my experience (which is limited) appear more in hook up games and tomboy ones.

They really are all over the place.

I'll skip the whole part where most DAZ models are bought and used with no modifications whatsoever and already fit the 'balanced women' category.

so what I think you're really asking is "why some games focusing on gym rats use highly muscular models?"

the answer as usual is: it's a fetish. the people who are into fetishizing gym rats get their dicks hard for overly muscular women. they want there to be massive abs and definition. it's the whole point of making gym games for most people who make them. they're not drooling for librarians or homemaker milfs, they want their girls roided up as fuck.

you don't see muscle worshippers focusing on non-bodybuilder men either, because why on earth would they deliberately ruin their fantasy.

I think the guys who are into the female bodybuilder type are a lot smaller niche than people who enjoy gym girls who simply go to work on their glutes

I skipped the part where there's no shortage of normal women gym scenes exactly for that.
