VN Ren'Py Abandoned Lexi [v0.052] [Chatterbox]

Oh, of course they are underrepresented. Next step accepting only female MCs. After that only non-white. Important: not to forget the pay-gap. And the pornographic content need to be removed because of "decadency".
There's a lot of games with female protagonists. Stop this non-sense. A lot of shit happens in the world now because of "positive discrimination". Do you want a female protagonist? Start a new game, do not make the actual MC transgender or "gender-fluid"... or perhaps this was the story all-along?

While our MC is a male protagonists, I wonder of providing an alternate pov on certain scenes would appeal to them.

Some have tried this and failed. A few have managed to pull off similar but not many. If you end up doing anything from another POV in this game, maybe from Lexi's perspective or her sister but I wouldn't go beyond that unless you have a very informed understanding of what the majority of your fanbase actually wants to see. You might want to consider doing some polls in that regard to gain some insight before you make any decisions. If it's just a niche group that want something that'd turn most off from the game, that'd be a big risk with little reward for you as a dev. Ultimately, it'll be your decision to make as to what direction you take your game in. Try to learn from some of the mistakes other devs who pandered to small demographics thinking it'd turn out well but didn't.

 

[wirelessnick]

Exactly that! If your majority of fanbase is represented by boys this would be a turn-off. For me at least, I don't like to see another man above me ready to "penetration".

 

[wirelessnick]

Or worse some deep-throat from POV of Kaylee!

Some of them are here, but I would guess no, there probably isn't another place for them. I would love to see their numbers grow though. They love porn as much as us guys do, so the question is, what strikes their fancy? I've seen a few comments about them liking female protagonists.

I would say women like the set up and story bits around the sex, they're the main target for erotic novels after all.
Now about the female pov in Lexi, It depends of what you want for your story. So far Lexi plays like a MC-Harem-Fuck em' All type of game. How do you plan to implement that fem pov here?

DmD is pretty much in the same genre plus the incest. At the beginning we play from the MC pov, hearing his thoughs and controlling hiim, but some updates ago Mr.Dots introduced the daughter thoughs about what's happening. You still play as the father but now you can read big chunks of exposition from the daughter pov.

Kind of don't want to give anymore info to keep from giving out spoilers. Lets just say that it doesn't change the game at all. Come on guys. The ladies can't have the occasional view of their own, even though there's at least one view for you?

I'm probably the furthest person from a feminist you'll ever find, but come on guys. The ladies can't have the occasional view of their own, even though there's at least one view for you?

I'm fine with it one way or another, being or not being a feminist has nothing to do with this. I can play games with female MCs without problem, games with npcs having their fun on the side, games with multiple point of views and so on.
Now you know there is a very agressive part of the players that hate anything that is not MC-Harem related.
At the end of the day you can't please everyone, so do your game how you want and don't pay much attention to extremists.

^ I like how this guy thinks.

We're up to 70% now. Had some animation renders that rendered super fast. 530 renders to go.

The wait for motion is somewhat ironic.

Short answer: Old saves won't work.

Long answer: When I started this update I realized that I wanted to use a couple of choices that I didn't think would matter beyond the scene they were in. So I decided that all choices no matter how small would need their own variable so they could be tracked throughout the progress of the game. This way if I ever needed to base something off of that choice, it would always be possible. So I went back and added the variables to track every choice. Most had them already, but a couple of them didn't. It's better to have a variable and not need it, then to need a variable and not have it.

Lexi seems to will be us a New Year's gift.

She'll be back before New Year.

She'll be back before New Year.

Merry Lexmas to us all!

Hopefully the motion is worth it. Euroseason made one hell of a great animation for us, but it took 4 days to render because it was 172 frames. It turned out hot though. He actually made a second animation but I wasn't able to use it.

This is my first time making real animations. The stuff you saw before like in the movie scene in v0.03 was just an image series that looped automatically (just 4 images). We had to eliminate 2 animations due to quality issues. We have a few small image series in this update, maybe a couple sexual but a lot of them are not. However this update there are a lot of animations that run between 15 - 90 frames, not to mention Euroseaon's 172 frames.

Merry Lexmas to us all!

More like happy thanksgiving.
