Hentaied.com, which bills itself as “your #1 tentacle porn source,” reached the goal for its first crowdfunded adult project in less than 48 hours.
Starring Russian phenom Purple Bitch, the elaborate sex scene sees the performer invited by a friend to check out a mysterious arcade game. When she touches the machine, she enters another reality and gets impregnated by a giant alien monster.
It marks the biggest work to date for the outrageous sci-fi meets porn site that received a nomination for Best Niche Series or Channel for the 2022 AVN Awards.
The scene includes extensive CGI elements with a tentacled monster taking care of Purple Bitch, aka Taty, a two-time AVN Award-winner with a penchant for hardcore.
With a budget of more than 50,000 Euros, Hentaied sought crowdfunding exclusively for the CGI elements used in the scene. The site targeted a minimum crowdfunding goal of 15,000 Euros, noting that everything collected over the minimum would be spent on additional CGI. At press time it had raised more than 19,735 Euros for Purple Bitch’s scene.
Romero, the Budapest, Hungary-based creator and producer of Hentaied, tells AVN, “Hentaied is one of the very few productions that have successfully raised capital via this approach.”
He says the crowdfunding success was nothing short of “incredible,” demonstrating “how supportive and enthusiastic our fans are.”
“We see this as a really positive feedback and it gave us a lot of confidence in continuing with this new model of funding for our future projects and keeping improving the quality of our content,” Romero adds.
Purple Bitch tells AVN the Hentaied scene was challenging to shoot.
“The shooting lasted three days in a row from morning to evening,” Purple Bitch says. “I have some scenes with tentacles, too, and the shooting process for Hentaied was similar.
“Romero has a wonderful team—the whole team works together and the result is great. I’m glad that I worked with Romero, it was a cool experience for me.”
The Hentaied crowdfunding program outlines three steps: first, fans may vote on their favorite proposals and decide which ones they should open for crowdfunding; second, fans may support the proposal with different packages by pledging financial support; and third, fans can reap exclusive benefits for their support, watching as their “dream scene” comes to life.
Romero says the scene with Purple Bitch was “probably the first porn scene where a CGI character interacted with a human.”
“Normally they do not tend to get mixed together but we love experimenting and trying new ideas, and we are extremely happy with how it came out,” Romero adds.
In addition to CGI, he incorporates 2D anime in the three-part “The Arcade Game” series, making the production what he claims is “one of the highest budget projects ever undertaken in adult.”
The technical team at Hentaied placed the monster in numerous positions during the scene and also recreated Purple Bitch’s vagina for eye-popping shots of “cumflation”—shot with a POV from the inside.
