Gotta agree especially on the giving Male MC his own game bit.
I mean this was one of the few fem protag games i enjoyed. seems a bit late in the game to change it but eh, it's happened before.
Still, i barely tolerate multiple protag games when the Main MC is a male. but in the new game he's the side character right? i'd honestly just prefer the female protag game and make a seperate Male MC game.
that being said i'll still try the new game. who knows maybe i'll be surprised.
I've always found Multi MC games to be at least somewhat jarring. Even if you can choose from the start for it to be one or another there is generally always a drop in quality, and most of that can be chalked up to most developers being amateur writers. Theres very few games I can think of that benefit from it, while just about every other one its a detriment IMO. From what Ive seen from theres actually a good chance After Choices could end up making on of the former, as their writing is very good, however even if thats the case it clear many people dont want to take the chance for that. So IMO it just makes sense for them to make 2 games that are both destined to be good instead of one game that only has a chance to be.
Also it should be noted that After Choices has been hesitant about whether they could even write a Male MC justice. So its kind of a given that theres going to be a lot of experimenting going on, and that would just be so much easier to do if he had his own game. Feedback would be a lot easier to receive in his own game, instead of a thread with people arguing about him existing in the first place, a thread where he at the very least welcome would be a lot easier to sort though genuine criticism. It would also make him a lot more malleable, if hes an integral part of the new story, then he and the female MC could potentially get in each others way if something needs to be changed thanks to the experimenting. Especially when you consider this thread in the last two day. I can easily see a issue cropping up where proponents of either side want completely separate things and a huge rewrite happening. And if thats not the case and his story is completely separate, well then at that point why not give him his own game anyway.
And oh god, imagine if theres NTR for him. You'd have the people angry that he exists, People angry that theres multi protag, people angry that the female exists, people mad about NTR. Honestly now that I list it out, that sounds like a fun thread to read, make it happen
.
Jokes aside its really up to the dev, like I said, even if they do end up going the multiprotag I think theres a good chance it could end up being a really good game thanks to the devs good writing; but I think simply starting a solo male protag game after he finishes his second game is a much safer choice. At the of the day
After Choices should make the game they want to make. If this is something that important to their vision of the game then all the more power to them.
