I wonder how would the players/fans react
IF let say, Zetan release a version where the
MC (default name Zaton) is
NOT in it, all the girls and the other characters are there, the only missing one is the
MC?
Is it going to be so controversial and everyone rages left, right, top and bottom, rioting in the streets etc.
as compared to the version without
X (replace
X with whoever you fancy be it Zahra, Ain, Shani, Queen Mernith, Fairy, Raiders sisters etc. long list that I forgot all their names);
OR
simply MEH. no one cares about Zaton anyway, as long as the girls (especially
X) are there.
In a world and realm, where resources are finite, there are finite amount of renders you can produce in a certain time frame, which in turns limits the amount of storytelling of an 'episodic' release game. In a game that involves plentitudes of characters across 3 factions and a household/family, some of them inevitably won't get a screen time every single release.
All that being said, when there is a financial resource, there is a
WAY. For example, a generous patron might donate
X amount of money (let say
USD1000) on a monthly basis in return for getting to see
X on every single release. Just have a think. Words rarely amount to anything, actions
MATTER.
I would like to end my 'sermon' with 'meaningless' words I quoted from movies (I think), "
If you want something done RIGHT, you gotta do it YOURSELF." There is an actual science behind this quotes, what is right/wrong is entirely up or according to you, that is why you have to do it yourself, in the way that is 'right' by your definition (because not everyone agrees upon or shares the same definition).
