have you considered making the option for a female protag? or maybe some genderbend/swap stuff? i feel like you could widen the appeal pretty cheaply this way with some minimal art edits (dont get me wrong i love the male protag this shit is my jam and theres precious little of it im just thinking in maketability terms)
Despite perceptions, it does seem that straight stuff tends to sell better in the furry space, probably for obvious demographic reasons. But gay is the vibe I'm on with this one, and I doubt I'll deviate from that. May do straight stuff in the distant future: I'm not against it, but there are things that make it less attractive.
