This thread was just started a few days ago and already has 14 reviews and a 4+ rating, so that's definitely a VERY good start! Looks like the developer has struck gold here.

Really great start to a game, it's engaging and interesting and I was disappointed that it finished when it was just getting good. Good models, good renders and an RPG type fantasy harem story that I'm a sucker for, so I'm definitely hooked.

Played the demo and everything was great! No problem at all with the prostitute, it doesn't trigger a thing for me. Though I can see the combat it's going to be a liability in the future, it doesn't add a thing other than a pseudo rock-paper-scissors so there's no interest to use it. If you are going to keep adding combat I hope that at least it isn't too taxing on your side.

had that game bookmarked and now when i come around to it, i see shit about whores with STDs and that the game will focus on them (in some capacity) going forward and the good old half dead every LI is somehow Bi trope. just fantastic
will see if Dev changes stuff in the 0.2 version but for now it seems i dont miss anything in not playing this game

idk why, so much ppl think that, but the focus is not on the Prostitution, you have the option but it´s not Focusing on that.

Great start, keep it up and best of luck.
The prostitute is going to be controversial no matter what. I personally don't care, but I recommend you do your best to keep her involvement as cordial as possible for those who don't pursue her, otherwise they are going to turn this thread into a warzone. It's common behavior.

I think it's getting to the point where I need to add some clarity. The brothel part of the game is such a small piece. It's only there for those players who want more lewd content. It will be easily skippable. The focus is going to be more on the relationships with the harem members more than everything. We're balancing the combat against if you do not sleep with anyone at all. It's going to be harder to play the way. We designed the core of the game to be an epic fantasy harem game playing as an OP MC. That's why we built the potency mechanic. We like it both from a storytelling and RPG perspective. As far as we're aware, no other game has this. We have no plans to change any of this. We hope those that like the story and the gameplay so far will enjoy the game more with each release.
Also, not every woman in the harem is bi. I don't know how that was deduced from what I said about there being no lesbians. Some are bi, some are straight.

If you want to maximize your potential and make the game easier, then you can screw your way to more power. Is it necessary? No. The combat is already pretty straightforward and easy as many have said. Again, our goal is to make a story about an OP MC. If you completely ignore the brothel or having sex with any of the prostitutes you'll be just fine. Like I said it's only a small part of the game. You're not going to be able to spam fucking in the brothel to increase your max score. It's only a handful of times that it comes up. As long as you're paying attention during combat and watch what your opponent does, it's still going to be relatively easy. Just not as easy if you had the additional potency points.

It's actually suboptimal for you to play at all. It seems pretty obvious that you would be happier... Elsewhere. Don't worry.

I think part of the issue is what do you mean by focus; it depends on perspective and expectations. From what I understand there was one sex scene, and it was with a prostitute who goes out of her way to talk about her past and dialog is added to remind everyone that she is actively banging another guy during the course of the game. That could have very easily not been done. First impressions also matter, and since the first, and so far the only, sex scene is with a prostitute. Add to that the dev commented about how there would be more it which made some people think that such content is probably the focus then. As the dev has said that was not the intended assumption that should have been made.
I think the potency mechanic is actually a really interesting idea and toying around with it could be fun. To me it seems the issue is that you added in prostitutes to attach to that mechanic, so it feels like those who don't like them are going to be punished while at the same time you say that those scenes aren't needed so it isn't even a reward for those that do outside of the lewd scene which could have been done with a girl who wasn't a prostitute.
That is what begs a few questions for many:
1. If it so easily skippable and fully optional then why have it? Just to make those who don't like prostitutes miss content and feel like they are being punished?
2. Why have them be prostitutes? If the Mc is OP then why is he resorting to prostitutes? Is there not a single girl who isn't one that he could charm without paying for it? A normal tavern girl who just clicks with the Mc and is attracted to him, or a girl who's known him for a while and decides to finally take the next step could have worked just as well and still fit the "every once and a while more of a side girl," idea so you don't need her to be a "main girl." She just isn't a prostitute but a girl who isn't part of his travels, but he still sees sometimes and maybe sends money to because she is his, he takes care of her, and provides for her, she just isn't a part of the overarching narrative. It's not a binary choice of shy virgin main girl the Mc has to work for a long time to get or prostitutes who talk about it and fuck other guys and we hear about it even after the start of the story. There is a lot of room between those two extremes.
Strawman, no one ever asks for all the girls to be virgins, if you are so unable to make your case you have to strawman the other side that's your problem. And in a medieval setting, most girls should be virgins, because if they weren't there would be real and lasting consequences for it. People importing modern ideals into historical settings is honestly weird as hell and instantly immersion breaking for anyone who has common sense or spends even just ten minutes looking into history.you know, not all of the Main Lis are virgins, right?)

This is part of the issue, it is a fantasy world based on a historical period, where the dev has full control over the characters and world. Yeah, the dev can have potions that cure STDs and removes unwanted pregnancies, heck they could even have a spell that lets a prostitutes repair her hymen so that she can give all of her customers that virgin's first-time experience, it could even be her specialty. However, that also means that the dev could make it so that (like in real history) there aren't brothels all over the place, and the Mc already has an established relationship to the point of early sex, or he uses his power to charm girls into his harem, even the side girls who will be living elsewhere and he just sees on occasion and might take care of from further away.
It's silly to say, "We want prostitutes because it's realistic (which it isn't)," and then to also say, "Even the main girls aren't virgins (because they should be)." Why? Because it's a total inversion. Historically, if a girl wasn't a prostitute or a mother, she would be a virgin and looking for a husband (likely getting married before the age of 18). Prostitutes primarily existed because most women wouldn't have sex except in marriage. And prostitutes were rare for the same reason, most woman wanted a husband because the later life of woman without husbands was shameful. And it was really bad for prostitutes as it was often filled with drug abuse, doing more and more degraded things (often involving animals, mutilations, and worse), and finally a sad lonely death of some VD if you made it that far. And that is if she wasn't fired from the brothel when she hit 35 and forced to work the streets where she could end up dead from exposer and/or raped and murdered. There are literally stories of "older" (basically over 30) prostitutes being sold by their pimps and brothels to guys so the guy could snuff them and not have to worry about law enforcement getting involved. Modern media glorifies prostitutes but historically it was not a good profession to end up in and most who did were either born into it, orphans/runaways with nowhere else to go, abandoned because they failed to maintain their purity and their family kicked them out, or they were kidnapped into it.
Of course, I'm speaking specifically about the medieval style that we see wrongly depicted in media. Other cultures and tradition did have some variation, such as Hellenic temple prostitutes who were taken care of by the temple and allowed to live in comfort even after they "aged out" so to speak, and they were respected by the people as priests, but other prostitutes were still denigrated and even seen as almost blaspheming because they were mocking the priestesses (for stealing the money the temple prostitutes would be making for the gods) and the gods by not doing the duty of a woman who hadn't been selected and called to serve in a temple and building a family.
Yo motseer, we got another one of those
Sadly, they say, in the event of global thermonuclear war it will be the cockroaches that survive. They are prolific enough that it seems plausible. Jus' Sayin'
It's always odd to me when someone comes into a thread and tells people not to play or not to give the developer thoughts and advice on the developer's behalf. If the developer doesn't want to take advice or ideas into considerations, fair enough, and if the developer tells people not to play, again, fair enough, but for someone else to do it on the dev's behalf is kind of crazy. The developer wants to make a product, likely wants to make money too so why shouldn't people give advice, and the dev can take it on board or not as they like? The dev doesn't need you white knighting for 'em.
I don't understand why people feel the need to strawman others. Is it really so hard to make your case that you have to strawman and insult? I'll never understand why people feel the need to be nasty to other people just because you don't like what they have to say.
Ultimately the dev will make their choice, and if the dev sticks to this concept, then most of us who are harem fans and don't like prostitutes will leave and put the game on ignore and you'll get what you want. These discussions only ever last a few days from our end because we just make our case (sometimes defend ourselves from baseless insults and strawman arguments) and then we leave if it becomes clear that the dev isn't going to change their mind, which is fair, and we understand that when it happens and move on. (Of course, others might come in later and comment on it, since not everyone has been here for these talks and not everyone checks the whole thread and because the prostitutes are needless and divisive it is highly likely that more people will comment as the game goes on.)
But until then, how about you don't try to sabotage the dev by telling other people not to play and just go away. Because I've seen it happen before where people like you tell others to go away and a dev says something along the lines of, "No, I want them to stay and play and enjoy the game, I'm making a harem and fixing dialog in Ren'Py is easy I don't even need to change very many renders to do it, it's not a hard change and it's early, we can rework the future plans too since we haven't made those renders yet," And then people like you whine and get angry about that, and call the dev and other players names again just like you are now. It's crazy how quick you are to insult and innuendo. "Those people," "roaches," incels," and other names, meanwhile if those of us who disagree with you even hint at not bowing the knee in our responses you report us, and we often get posts deleted and sometimes even banned.
