I really like your reply, it's quite detailed and direct. As you said, your game is not for everybody. My reply was just to follow up on the discussion on why your game is not popular with my "Vanilla player" point of view. Vanilla players will shot your game down because it's not to their taste like you said and players who enjoy your game will not take the time to upvote it. And in term of proportion, there are massively more vanilla players than kinky ones so there aren't a lot of chances for your game to get the spotlight indeed. But aren't vanilla players allowed to give their opinions too so that other vanilla players are aware of the content of the game? Your warning is just about strong fetishes but doesn't really give much details. That would be my main feedback for you. Many other games also warn about strong fetishes but still stay in line with what a vanilla player could expect. Fetishes cover a large amount of possibilities and even if you go with strong or harsh fetishes there are still some of them which can still be acceptable for vanilla players: bdsm, femdom and such for the top of my head. But the hairy body is a hard pass for meOh man... you're starting a conversation you don't want to continue. But with all due respect, I'll try...
First. This game is obviously not for you, nor is it for many others accustomed to the vanilla-patreon-friendly games that have become mainstream by now. The target audience is the other players like me, who don’t like the majority of vanilla games. I started making games because I wanted everything I made to be completely different from what was flooding us as games.
First of all it's not a Mainstream game. I wrote it as a disclaimer on the very first page. It's not a vanilla game. It's a hard fetish porn game that aims to show you the other side of the fictional reality of the adult game industry. Because I don't care how well I can monetize it, I do whatever I want without regard to patreon, PayPal, etc.
I want to be popular for the other people (I believe a lot of ppl) who want such kind of games. I don’t need vanilla players. I Know my game is not completion for the big money games… but I repeat - I don’t want it. But when vanilla players rate non-vanilla game… I have a problem.
And the problem is that some players with fetishes like mine miss the game because some offended dude wrote “I don’t want haaaaairyyyyy giiirls! Take that one star!!!”. I repeat it again.
I know my game is not masterpiece. It’s more than clear. I know that I can improve the renders. I know that I’m not Shakespeare… but to rate a game because the “characters are ugly” is the dumbest thing from all other dumbest things. Because “I don’t like/I like big tits/red hair/broken noses” is NOT feedback and review. It’s a matter of taste. Subjective.
And I hope ppl who likes harder content will discover my game somehow.
The point of the game is not to associate yourself with the character. Not all movies, books and games are created with that goal in mind. Because of this I have used various techniques to NOT associate with him(third person etc)
The goal is to experience the story through the eyes of a psychopath who has the power to do whatever he wants. No, you don't control him. You're watching his story, as you have the right to "direct" him in some aspects. That's all.
Aren't you tired of the same/molded and one model beautiful characters from the quadrillion other games/clones of each other? No? So this game isn't for you. The characters are made to be as different as possible. Even ugly. As provocative as possible. Even in real life, they're not all beautiful and wonderful, but you still want to fuck them, right? And yes. They're beautiful to me. And yes, I want people to be outraged about these things. That's the point of the game.
Best wishes

In my opinion, games are here to make us experience stuff we can't have in real life, most of us go for harem but if some others want to go for hairy girls, then good for them to play your game. I was just complaining a bit with my vanilla player mindset, you can ignore me
I wish you the best of luck for your games.
