I've never been able to get my head round people wanting to have every girl in a game at his beck and call in games but don't dare let any other character have sex with someone else or dare say that they love someone else. People can love more that one person simultaneously and have a sexual relationship built on love and not just lust with more than one person at a time. It's like the people that want every girl in a game to be a virgin as if women don't like to have sex and should be pure as the driven snow and never touched by anyone even themselves. Just my tuppence worth. Hell I've saw people wanting mother's to be virgins in games and have had a baby through artificial insemination. It's crazy how distressed people get about these things.
I'm pretty sure there's a mother in Radiant that is a virgin. I mean, it's fantasy. Men want to plow land that's never been tainted before. I don't want too much realism in my games. I play them to escape from reality.
Although, I honestly think if it was Petal's harem, that'd be super hot. Unfortunately not many players in this market would agree. To each his own. :-)
I get the fantasy aspect, I really do. I love your games and I like the virgin fantasy thing too, I think most vn players do but was just meaning about some who think a woman should be tossed aside if she isn't one in game or that an MC should be able to have a harem with countless women but the women shouldn't even be allowed to look at anyone else even with the MCs permission and perhaps I'm being about of a hypocrite but I thought Brooke's story was really wholesome and cute in radiant. I was in no way having a go at your game in any way whatsoever, I actually hoped come the end of over the moon there'd be a lot of free love within the whole family dynamic between all family members and even a few side characters to boot along the lines of perhaps a mid-life crisis but this is your story to tell and I'll be happy with whatever happens. I was just trying to give a couple examples that people seem to get really bent out of shape about if a game doesn't go exactly how they want it to especially on some of the more toxic fandoms. It's just when some people have a go at a vn developer because they aren't pleased they put something in their story or didn't specifically warn them about a specific scene or didn't have a tag they believe that should have been there even though it shouldn't be there and they proceed to bring down parts of a game, it just doesn't sit well with me. Sorry if I caused you any trouble.
No trouble at all. I agree with you. I've had the same mindset before. It seemed strange to me how important certain things were to typical players who were enjoying my works. I was just telling someone earlier today that I had very different plans for A Moment of Bliss when I started it. I've gotten so many people that have threatened to stop playing if I continued on certain paths though. I had to walk back a transhumanist introduction on my last release. It's been wild learning what people enjoy, and what they won't tolerate.
As alien as some mindsets are to me, I'm trying to be better about considering the market and the typical player. This really is a hyper-fantasy for most people. They want to step into the shoes of an unrealistically attractive man who has access to a plethora of women. Virgin women, no less.
My main goal when creating these AVNs is to provide the community with the ability to step outside their own lives and enjoy something that's fantastical and incredible. I'm learning to be more and more accepting of the general consensus of what people like and dislike. What I want more than anything is to tell a great story. All the women being virgins is inconsequential to that goal, and makes the sexual fantasy more compelling. If I were to write a novel without adult content, I'd surely design the character much differently. No question.
