Here's what I know. At the end of the day, every Dev needs to take pride in their work. If they can't (For whatever reasons.), then they need to reconsider what they're doing.

And @P_S_Y_C_H_O is doing just that. I like that he gives options, and he keeps putting out his dream. Quality & true to his dream. That's really what we should all ask from any Dev, of any product.

And a forum such as f95 is perfect, because the products can be tagged. Look at them, don't like...move on. Like em, hop in and play. Either way, people don't play without forewarning.

The main thing is. It's not fanfic. It's porn.
Porn is where the plot and atmosphere are completely absent. The game is something more. Admit it, be fucked on camera and write a game - these are different levels.

If you don't like one fetish, there is a big chance for you to like it tomorrow. Not hate it.
my preferences are just my preferences. Yes, I mentioned that I do not like hairiness and dirty laundry, but only as an example.

No chance. Why would anyone like everything?
If someone loves your project, he should love it as a whole. And the project itself must have some integrity. IMHO

Others don't hate. They love. I'm doing it for them.
Then in the sum it turns out ... not so many people. And they all will pull you in different directions.

Do you want devs to create story, characters, environment - just to include one fetish to cover only one group of people - only to be able to create a game on your engine? Because otherwise it'll explode?
No. Just as the number of introductory ones increases, the complexity of the development (game) grows along hyperbola. This applies to both mechanics and plot. And, regardless of whether you are writing a picture, a novel or making a game. And here I can not help anyone. My engine will be no better than Renpay.

Limited possible count of variables? WTF?
How many is too much? Is there any game out there that is very close to this number?
The number of parameters is not limited directly. The engine has a built-in verification system, which, in addition to dead-end branches, game bugs, tracks still unused values in the mechanics or plot. Plays all possible options for the tester. ... This is a long and complex topic, I will not retell it here. I can only say - it was done for the plot branching.

How well it will work is a separate question. I just doubt that it will be effective when the number of parameters is ten pages long. The same can be said about the editor interface. I physically can not sharpen it for everything at once.

And I still don't get your eagerness to prove me/us YOUR point of view, admitting that everyone is different at the same time.
I'm just afraid that this will be another game with a huge bunch of tags for a very narrow audience. Just warned because of what it can happen. The more topics the author is trying to raise and the more specific they are, the more difficult it will be for him ...

Well. I'm planning to include as many fetishes as I can and make some/most/all extreme shit avoidable.
I created 60 minutes car ride full of crazy shit. According to feedback and how things going - it ended up good. People want more.
It would be a shame to switch to boring vanilla in the middle of smth, or recreate everything and sanitize the shit out of it.
Just to attract few other people that get disgusted by smth particular by some their own weird reason.
The fact that people are different gives me the chance to do what I want and how I want it to be and still find supporters.

Personally I think the more tags it has - the more people will try it. If you have some fetish - you search for it. You get it.
People that play porn games and still get disgusted by smth - are minority of those who play these games at all.
Since time goes by - people getting used to one fetish, and it doesn't make them horny anymore. They tend to search for other fetishes and try smth else. Experiment. This is the difference between fanfic and porn(game). When you read - it takes so much time and money to try new shit that ppl tend to stick to what they like for many years. You may not like pissing now, or hairy, or whatever, but in one year you may find yourself in some swing party drinking some hairy granny's piss from source.
Who knows.

And about the engine. It's a pity that you can't make it that way so we can create labyrinths of choices.
Looks like no one will be using it. Since it will be boring.

Fact. But this is a cheap trick. Many novice "writers" in fanfics also mold many fandoms in order to initially attract more people. (after all, basically the search is based on fandoms) Only as a result, the majority feels deceived, and the work itself cannot be written. Do it. Flag in your hands. Just my opinion - the more you spray the attention, the lousy job is going. What I watched in games and any other artistic works only confirmed my words.

ps In short. Such things annoy me a lot. Although you may be special. And you can do something that no one before you could.

And about the engine. It's a pity that you can't make it that way so we can create labyrinths of choices.
This is possible. All variables (including characters, their characteristics, character's actions, each dialogue passed ...) give rise to an infinite number of options. It is enough to multiply them together.
N=n1*n2*n3*...*nk.

By the way, count all the possible combinations of fetishes, if you give the player the opportunity to exclude them. Add to this the consequences of the player’s choices.

@nod24 No. He hasn't. Get a grip on yourself. That is, if you can find it.

We've tolerated this little off topic business of yours because @P_S_Y_C_H_O is doing a great job making his point and being rather nice to you. Second, every time you try to make him bleed, he looks even better every time he responds by saying "I'm going for these fetishes, they're staying, and I'm continuing with that." So instead of hurting the dev, you are actually making the dev look even better. With you whining about "muh vanilla pron", you already know there's thousands of posts asking for anything but vanilla. THOUSANDS. You're in the clear minority, you've been responded to in a fair manner and now you've also been asked to stop this by several members. I'm adding my voice to that. It's time to stop.
