I'll follow you to keep myself informed on your progress, particularly because I saw the edit you made about the possibility that you might add the option to change the protagonist's gender.

Thanks for your comment! I was thinking about this a little and I wanted to get your opinion. I don't know if you have tried playing it, but the core game currently does not have a huge focus on your genitals or gender as the protagonist. It's more about others using your mouth and ass for their pleasure.
What I'm saying is that it would not be hard for me to quickly add a menu at the start to choose your gender. I would have to change some of the dialogue and change up the story just a tad, but I am not sure the actual gameplay/dialogue would change meaningfully. Especially since the characters already mostly call you things like "slut" and "bitch" which can also apply to women. The anal scenes could also stay the same in theory since women obviously have buttholes too.
But would this be satisfactory for you? Or would you be looking for more gender-specific story and dialogue?
Sounds good enough to me, as long as you can add a gag about the Fem-Protag not having to get pregnant from all the Futa action. "I only do BUTT STUFF."
But what's more important is that you stay true to Your Vision. Don't let randos like me make TOO HUGE an impact on your work. The occasional suggestion is fine, but I hope your game is still 'Your Game' by the end and not a hodgepodge of designs and story elements made by 'Too Many Cooks'. It was a fun Adult Swim Special, but a nightmare in any other medium.
Haha, yeah I agree and I appreciate the advice. I need to think about this a little more..
I think you're absolutely right, but in this case it might not be a huge deal because the vision for me was never to focus much on your body as the protagonist. I find the idea of your body not mattering except as a vessel for others' pleasure to be really hot, regardless of what your body is actually like. It's not really about you, and that's why there is (and there will continue to be) a big focus on oral and anal.
Since it would be fairly easy for me to implement, I just need to spend some more time thinking about whether it will negatively impact the story down the line. As long as it won't impact the game much, I don't at all mind adding the option for people who want to play as a female character.
If I do decide that it's fine, you can expect me to ship the next update with the feature included!
Ok, update. I literally started implementing it, and I was about halfway through the dialogue when I decided to change my mind for one reason that I did not think of earlier.
A theme that I have in this game is having the futas flip misogyny on men. Some aspects are obviously exaggerated (at least for the modern-day context) and to be honest it's not like I'm making this game as a statement for feminism. I'm not sure how feminists would feel about the way I portray it, anyway, since the discrimination is being fetishized.
But I digress. When I started rewriting the script for a female protagonist, it felt too real in the sense that it seemed genuinely hurtful in a way that it doesn't for men.
I don't know if this makes sense and I am sorry to disappoint. Maybe this could change in the future. But, for the time being, I think this is going to remain exclusively a futa-on-male game.
