Unity Love Among Monsters [v0.0.4] [Ashen]

tbf, they're right. After a certain point, you don't have a monster girl, you have a girl monster. Which is perfectly valid, but definitely a different thing.

Personally though I don't draw the line at just ears that's barely anything. For me the line starts being crossed when the monsterous female in question gets a snout, or a crazy non-humanoid bodyplan (i.e. walking on all fours with no arms or something), or they're absolutely coated in scales or fur. At which point they stop appealing to me.

But having one eye or four arms or even paws isn't a dealbreaker, for me. There's some wiggle room. I do prefer my, as the disparagers say, "cosplayers", but I find some people act like anything more human than a Xenomorph Queen is somehow befouling the name of monstergirls.

Point being, medium is premium. I like exploring the alternate biologies, but I can't get it up if they look like la creatura.

Oh yes, I'm not going to start such topics, and even on game discord, I politely asked in the rules that no one start this war xd about what is a monster girl and what isn't, as fans, we've gotten almost nothing over the years, so the last thing we need is to argue, over the years, more than one game has died because of such divisions in the community. Just go back to the most popular games in the world about monster girls, namely Monster Girl Quest 2 parts and their fan games, where the total number of monster girls reaches hundreds. I've never played them myself, I prefer 3D games, but there were some really strange species there, nevertheless, together with the Monster Girl Encyclopedia, various artworks, and people's reactions, its popularity did not come out of nowhere.
It's not for me to judge, if I wanted to make a popular game, I would make a full furry + futa game with action in a hotel, adding characters and scenes with each update, and that's it.

As for my preferences, it varies, but maybe that's because I love monster girls not only as material for you-know-what, but as a fantasy concept, for example, a wolf girl can have ears and hairy hands, but a werewolf girl, even though I'm not into furry, doesn't fit my image of werewolves as just another girl with ears, I also prefer the spider girlwith half spider rather than having four extra human arms on her back or three pairs of eyes on head, being an ordinary girl in a school uniform, it depends.

There are many such examples. I'm not going to force every girl to be a caricature, but I'm not going to make girls with only small elements either. If I were to do that, it would be better to just copy the body of each girl and change one or two elements, but I would get bored.

It all depends on the scale of the project. If I'm going to be doing it all by myself throughout its duration, it will be more difficult to fit in two types of girls. If it proves to be more successful, I can always hire people and create two versions of each character.

After all, I want everyone to find something for themselves, because both types of fans have huge gaps in the genre, not when it comes to 2D, because there are still a lot of games there, but 3D first person which are still being made?
Eh I'm glad they're being made, but considering my 15-year-old adventure with monster girls, there weren't many of them.

but I find some people act like anything more human than a Xenomorph Queen is somehow befouling the name of monstergirls.

I'd love to address thismore, yes you right, there are plenty of people who call out people, who prefer cosplay instead of the monster girls that the other group loves and what image do they have of them, but on the other hand, I've also read thousands of comments over the years, where if a girl has paws, she's already a furry and not a monster girl.

People are insulted, accusing people of zoophilia, as if there were always so many extremes. Personally, I've always been incredibly tired of reading these kinds of discussions, I don't know why they exaggerate it so much. When I see a post by a girl with cat ears getting the same number of reactions and likes as some ant girl with an alien face, what's the point?

We can and we should debate, but such arguments and just ,,fuck you, you're wrong because I'm the real fan of monster girls not you" have often led to a game's community being divided into factions, with the creator unsure which side to take, ultimately giving up on making games.
I don't want to list all these examples and open wounds for fans of specific titles and a lot of people will know what games I'm talking about , but there have been many of them. Not to mention the number of developers who openly said they hated their community and stopped making games because of it, despite earning not small money from the game.

Another fix has arrived on itch, it turned out that there was something wrong with the button before the scene with Eli, which sometimes prevented further progress in it what can't be in the game, and I removed the test button for building a grave, also I changed the physics of Eli's tear particles, removed the additional collider, etc. so they won't fly as far.

Sorry for the trouble anyone who had that problem.
