Yeah whats greate but still know you game played by heterosexuals, soo dont make to much Trudy-x-Kaylira-x-Hiro content.Not going to reply to anyone individually, but I will say this - this argument has no purpose, and even if it were among patrons, it would still not, so it's not because of the venue. It's been discussed to death, and very few of the arguments are good arguments, for or against. These decisions have already been made, and it's not open for endless debate. This isn't the Blood War.
Long story short: pronouns don't really matter and if people want to identify more with the player character or experience their gender identity shifting, I'm fine with it. The content we put in the game is directly related to our target audience, and only indirectly related to our actual audience. If our entire audience wanted hardcore gore tomorrow, they wouldn't get it. We're not mercenaries, we're entertainers. We want to please our audience, which is why we take surveys and interact with them, but we'll continue to make what we want to make, and we're lucky that we do have an audience that happens to like that.
When we started, we got dire warnings from people that if we didn't make a female protagonist, we'd never find an audience. There absolutely is an audience for androgynous content, gay content, bi content, etc. And we've never had a problem with making a female protagonist, as an example: we just chose not to prioritize it, and if or when we do, it'll be because we choose to, and not because a lightbulb went off and someone synthesized the perfect way to repeat "some people like female protagonists," or measured enough angels on the head of a pin to know exactly what constitutes something being "gay".
I look forward to writing this again in the future. This wasn't the first time and it won't be the last. People will continue to vaguely allude to this post to advance their arguments. The Blood War never ends.

Please someone tell me this is a bad attempt at a joke... Otherwise.Yeah whats greate but still know you game played by heterosexuals, soo dont make to much Trudy-x-Kaylira-x-Hiro content.
That's what i said all along, as long as it's what they want to make it's all good, doing something because people think you have to is when it's bad.
That is the best mindset when creating something in my opinion.
I hope you're not serious with this, because the alternative is... let's just say "Not good".Yeah whats greate but still know you game played by heterosexuals, soo dont make to much Trudy-x-Kaylira-x-Hiro content.
I mean just by reading a bit you can get that straight people aren't the target audience.Yeah whats greate but still know you game played by heterosexuals, soo dont make to much Trudy-x-Kaylira-x-Hiro content.
This is bigger than some slight variants on existing scenes. For it to at all make sense every single scene that takes this angle (which make up the majority of the game) would need to be completely rewritten. It amounts to rewriting the entire game to cater to a few people who need to hear "I respect and acknowledge your differentiated identification" as they're raped into a puddle of their own gendered fluids.Encounter/Outcome variants for Flaccid, Cage and many others exist. It may simply be a matter of creating encounter variant scenes for FemHiro that adjusts the dialogue and responses while keeping most of it the same. You're still the same Hero, you just react differently to their dirty talk and they aren't implying you're lesser for being a 'man' and instead more because you're an impure slut that claims to be a Hero.

I hope they don't make any more content with Hiro at all. All of it from now on should be from the perspective of the Hairdresser.Yeah whats greate but still know you game played by heterosexuals, soo dont make to much Trudy-x-Kaylira-x-Hiro content.
What do you mean? This game is mostly made up of scenes with men and women having sexual activities, that's straight. True, there's a lot of male on male sexual content but it's balanced by a large amount of similar female content. I'd say this game appeals to all audiences!I mean just by reading a bit you can get that straight people aren't the target audience.
My read of that response leans heavily toward half-hearted pseudoimplementation as the most likely form for it.You may want to check the previous page. Developer themselves put a end to this discussion.
honestly i just thing this game is made for people who likes chicks with dicks, , doesn't matter if straight by's or 3 headed chickens, the games says tales of androgyny and should talk about Androgyny, lets just all be friends in the name of Majalis duo, and remember, we got big tiddy goth giant gf before it was mainstream, AND with a twist, so see ya in peace *drops mic*I am straight and I do not mind that the game does not have so many sexual scenes for straight men.

I didn't say that at all. I said these arguments (that assume/disregard LOE and also assume what our priorities are by misreading or hyperextrapolating from things we have said or just completely guessing) aren't good.My read of that response leans heavily toward half-hearted pseudoimplementation as the most likely form for it.
"We don't think it matters that much and if people want it that bad then whatever" sounds to me like they're not planning on heavily supporting it or going back to change any old scenes, that sticking a parser in and calling it a day is about all the thought they'd put into it, so it's truly a move that would please no one.
I'm coming at it from the angle of "who -will- it please?".At some point, we'll be done with all of the high priority items for ToA, and any size feature request can be accommodated, because our budget and support timeline are not fixed. As long as people want those things, and we're willing to do them, they can be done. And we'll be making those decisions based on our own informed understanding of the LOE, not generic appeals to LOE that try to game theory their way to their preferred outcome (ie "don't add this feature I don't like because it's literally impossible to add it in a way that will 'please everyone'" or will "please no one", which assumes, of course, that we want to please absolutely everyone with every feature we implement).
