I'll be frank, if there hadn't been a promise of Astrid being able to magically remove her schlong in the future, I wouldn't have been interested in this game as much as I did.

I like her a lot, designs and personality, but I just don't swing that way. No offense to anyone else's preference.

Are you serious? Astrid is simply splendid, and such a petty detail like dick can't change anything :)

Not trying to rush you timepants lol. But I need this update soon, :p (Take your time).

Lately all the Novellas that been updated have been shorter then the Downloads. Seems to be a common trend these days.

A lot of people just assume it's a "gay game" because it has gay content that's well thought out and developed.
I wonder how much of this perception is based on how this thread talks about the game.

There's a lot, and I mean A LOT of talk of Tahir, Astrid and even Zilv, but relatively little of Kadijah, the one ruler-and-a-T-square straight romantic interest and practically nothing on Aislinn (who I'm not even sure is a LI). That somewhat understandable, given where the characters are in their respective storylines, but that's a lot of cuddly dick against not much hardass pussy, if you catch my drift. People might see that and assume the game will try to steer them to the left lane.

The not straight LI are more popular because of the nature of the game. Gay and trans characters are generally relegated to games focused on fetishes, exclusively gay games or sometimes (specially with trans characters) used as a joke or as a form of "punishment" for the player. A game that its focus isn't fetishes and let's the protagonist make all the choices (gay, straight, dom, sub, etc) is quite rare, therefore those aspects are the most celebrated.

I'm not questioning why those characters are celebrated, one only has to play the game to understand that.

I'm simply wondering if that celebration gives people a false impression of the actual scope of the game.

just came across this gem recently, and it became one of my favorites immediately.

i'm not really into gay content but tahir is too adorable to reject. so kudos to the dev, he really made me care about the characters which is rare in a porn game.

all of the LI are unique with amazing designs, and the story is really interesting, my only complaint so far is that i need more Astrid, the best LI by far in my openion.

Thanks. A lot of people just assume it's a "gay game" because it has gay content that's well thought out and developed. I put the same amount of effort into all the characters though. I want people of all orientations to be able to play the game and think they had a well done romance and story. It's just some people see any hints of a gay character and immediately write it off. I'm usually subjected to people's idea that by having literally have the cast of main love interests be female and half of them be male, somehow the game is 100% gay for some reason. Apparently the only way to not have a gay game is if 99% of the relationships are straight and then maybe have 1% be hinted at as gay. Then it will be "even" in their eyes.
Yes. 50 50 ratio is gay.

I've noticed that some people who play the games on this site seem to have a complete inability to use common sense and pick choices that are obviously there to reject a LI and instead need a walk through mod to tell them what choice to pick or they end up like this:

Some people just have bad reading comprehension.

It's why a lot of western RPG's had to start putting heart icons next to dialog choices when talking to romanceable NPC's.

I found Khadija boring (personal preferences) and I didn't care about Zilv. Instead, the narrative around Tahir and Astrid is top tier.

I don't know at all about the sexual preferences of the creator, but we have situations like those of the aristocrats, where the script for the female is quite cliche while the scene for the male one is quite a crescendo (plus you can watch the female playing with herself). This has probably to do with personal preferences plus gay sex being taboo and more hot in visual than anal straight sex. But that scenes says a lot, for me.

I believe it is more the fact the Tahir is the first possible love interest presented in the story followed a bit later by Astrid. Both their stories develop while Kadijah is still involved in some mystery.
But myself i consider their 3 character arcs really good.

Also i think it is important to note that while there are many games with good female characters (both from a story and renders point of view) the same can't be said about games with really well done femboys and trans/futa characters. Besides this one i can only think about Shattered, Family Affair and Darktoz games (not counting games with drawn artwork).

edit: There is also Kleo on City of Broken Dreamers. But while she is a well done character she has a minor role in the story.

To be fair, a lot of western RPGs lately have lazy writers who write a dialogue prompt that has almost nothing to do with the actual line of dialogue it triggers. It's become almost a given in most games with voiced dialogue at this point.

When you're clicking on options and pick the one that says something like "Politely Disagree" and the dialogue that follows has you telling the other person that they're absolutely stupid and crazy and their parents should be ashamed that their kid grew up to be such a huge idiot, that's not really a failing on the part of the player as much as it is of the game. BioWare was notorious for this sort of thing - which is a large part of why they were also one of the ones who started doing the "dialogue icons" thing on their dialogue wheels.

It's become such an obvious thing that people have long since started to make fun of it:



Things were a lot better when games didn't have voiced protagonists - so you literally had to write out the entire line of dialogue for the player to read before they picked it. Made it a lot easier to know in advance what your character was trying to say, and not just vaguely guessing at what any given prompt was going to actually say (thus leading players like me to constantly save scum/reset every conversation so I could quit out whenever the game pulled its bullshit).

That game with a trans lawyer that you meet in a porno party is very good and I enjoyed all the scenes with the trans.

I think you should check Apartment 69 is a pretty cute story with an adorable trans character and even though the game is "abandoned" is just a technicality on the forum's system, is scheduled to come back soon.

Another cute game with trans characters is Frozen Past and the trans girl is actually a pretty important main love interest

You should clarify that it has no sex scenes.
