Hey there,
I'm working on a Twine 2 game starting May of 2017. A couple of questions started to pop up in my head as I strted to work on some of the mosre serious mechanics of my game. I created this thread to find some answers from you guys and to let you influence my decisions a bit.
The first part of my questions will be mostly about life simulator games and their game play elements and game loop. The second part will be about porn media, such as embedded animated .gif / .mp4 vs. digital art / animated art. The third part deals with lesbian (female on female) content in games.
I'm looking for answers that elaborate on the "whys". So, the focus is on discussion and not necessarily on answering all of the questions below but rather starting a discussion.
So let me just list my first couple of questions:

I'm looking for answers that elaborate on the "whys". So, the focus is on discussion and not necessarily on answering all of the questions below but rather starting a discussion.
So let me just list my first couple of questions:
- Which life simulator (text and non-text based) NSFW games have you guys played?
- What did you like about those games?
- What did you not enjoy about those games and why?
- Do you guys enjoy managing every aspect of your game character's life? For instance: Managing which piece of clothing they should wear and what they need to do and where they need to go? (eg.: go to work, take a shower, use the bathroom, read a magazine, watch TV, etc)
- Is time management something that the player should be doing?
- Should the player be punished if they fail to show up in a location or carry out a task before the provided time runs out?
- Do you find it necessary to have complex NPCs (having their own schedules and agenda) with personalities in a life simulator game or would you prefer simple NPCs with finite repeatable interactions?
- Should all of the NPCs be fullly interactive (chat, date, sex actions, etc.) in a life sim game?
- Do you enjoy managing non-sexual or not dating related interactions in life simulator games? (including: doing a make over, hygenie, training at the gym, etc)
- Do you prefer embedded porn images, animated .gif and .mp4 over actual digital art in life sim games?
- Do you prefer having graphical media in every scene (including locations, full body characters or character portraits, items, etc.) of the game or only in locations where something is actually happening (eg.: an NPC is interacting with the MC)?
- Do you enjoy life simulator games where both FF and MF options are available to your female MC or would you prefer FF or MF only?
- Do you prefer having the player tell the sex. orientation of the MC (at character creation or at the start of the game) or let the game figure it out based on the player's actions?
- Would you enjoy interactive ways of changing your MC's sexual orientation based on NPC and environmental interaction?
- Do you enjoy playing games where the there can only be dominant and submissive female NPCs? Or would you guys prefer a more like vanilla NPCs that don't heavily lean into any of these directions?
