It's not like you need to end up with every single character that appears in the game, that's why there isn't a harem tag on it. The sharing thing I didn't even say it was MMF, so I don't know where you trying to get. There is room for more than complete harem games.
When I mentioned the incest I said that for now the incest will be about the twins, because I plan on introducing MC family later, but at the right moment of the story.
Yeah true but the premise of your game doesn't work well with single love interest routes. Just 3 quick points there are more but enough for you to get an idea
If there is no harem, and the MC has a girlfriend, I don't see any reason to be interested in other LIs.
As I said his ideas are pretty good for a harem but it doesn't work in single love interest games. It's not like I'm bitch about it without reason. If we research the best single love interest games out there we see that they are mostly single MCs, without incest and with minimal lesbian interaction. And if analyse harem game we see things like starting girlfriends that are the catalyst or at least allow the harem, a lot of incest and lesbian content between harem members isn't uncommon. You see my point?
I was basically agreeing with you, at least from my perspective.
While I do understand what you're saying, what is the point of choosing? Do you think a choice should be decisive or just momentary? I could just put a choice in the game like that. "Do you want the mc to have a relationship with this character?", what would be the point? It would be bland. If every character is okay with sharing right from the start there is no point in making a story line with problems related to relationships for example.
Guys then we don't have the same understanding on harem, for me I always considered harem as: Every girl is an option at any time and it has absolutely no consequences for the narrative, they will always be taken for granted and sort out all their differences as simple as sharing lunch with friends in school. However if you mean harem as you can choose more than one girl, then yes it is a harem, it's not a single choice, you can date multiple girls and see every bit of story, but some choices might bring some tricky moments.
I mean you could do like a hundred different path with little variations of the same event and add to that mix "temporary decisions". Look I'm not saying it can't be done but why do you think that's not how most of AVN are? Because is an extremely slow and complicated why of writing a story and people don't want to sit trough the game multiple time to see minimum variations of the same events.
And it seem you don't understand our point at all, we naver said anything about them been ok from the start, not at all. A good amount of drama is a good way of making a game interesting, as long as all the girls get to be okey with sharing at the end. I mean most harem players I know are more of "the ending is usually more important than the path that leads to it" meaning you can put all the drama you want that if by the end of the whole thing we got a harem we are happy. But if you are planning of throwing the protagonist down a rollercoaster of drama, emotions and girls only for the protagonist to fail miserably at the end then yeah that's not good.
You see right there you are going down the path of destruction haha, no people don't want to see LI get fucked by anyone that isn't them in AVN, they can tolerate or even like if is lesbian content from 2 girls that are within a harem or something similar, but we don't want to see it in any other setting. What make you think that if we rejected someone we want to see more content about her? Nah most players that don't like a LI would prefer if she disappeared completely from the story if you reject her (because steal screen time aeay from they favourite LI) and putting her in a sexual setting after we rejected her is even worse.
You are mistaken on both definition if by the end (and by that I mean an ending) the protagonist is with all the girls in a serious relationship thats a harem. Girls don't need to be ok from the start as I said before.
Your final points here are exactly right the wheel is round and smooth for a reason. I won't even bother because it sounds like this is just going to be a cluster of a story arc. Good luck dev I think you are going to need it.
It's not exactly how the forum defines the tag, but I (and I think more players with me) consider a harem game when the MC can end the game having a relationship, known and consensual, with basically all or almost all the LIs in the game.
Hey thanks, yeah it was my first atempt ever on trying to "animate" in rendering if I can call this animate, I still have a lot to improve on, specially on that, it's good to know some people are more understanding on "this is all very new to me", I don't expect to make something perfect, I've never done something perfect. But I'm sure I can get better and with time make this into something worth the time. The text I already reverted to normal in the new version I'm working on.
I understand what you are saying, my plans are for the relationships to evolve with time, for them to know each other as friends and from that it can turn into something more, it won't be only a lighthearted story, there will be drama and some disagreements, and some will depend on the player's choices, for me it isn't worth giving a choice if in the end the path is always the same. The relationship points I'm already using for the new version. I'll be honest, for the story I have in mind, I don't see an easy way to just throw in breaches for them to all get together and happy, but for them to see new connections form from the forbidden and along the way work it out and be happy, that's where the name comes from, Bittersweet as something good. But with not so good parts, however in the end it is all about them sorting it all out, isn't it? Yet I don't rule out the possibility of a relationship arising without cheating, if a convincing moment presents itself, I just want to make it clear, cheating is a part of the game(avoidable, but with a lot of content), at least for a while.
The text is already reverted to normal in the new version I'm working on, I also added 4 options of sizes to choose in the preferences.
No one has mentioned this: A font *must* be invisible when you are reading! It can provide atmosphere, intent, and colour to what is read, but it should *not* be seen by the reader.
I think I understand what you said, and I agree with you. It does take a lot of your attention, even reading a plain font sometimes you don't even take a good look at the render on the background.No one has mentioned this: A font *must* be invisible when you are reading!
