VN Ren'Py Lust Odyssey [v0.28.2] [Xperiment]

Those Numbers doesn't matter, The fact is Non-humans are largely neglected at this stage, that even with one or two wins, they still don't get enough contents people want.
Any attempt try to argue it's not going there, is just disingenuous.

These numbers are the only way to actually measure whether the patrons prefer human characters to aliens. You can't really claim that the voters have a bias that is influencing the direction of the game as a "fact" without having any proof of that (aside from a vague feeling that the alien characters aren't getting as much content as humans).

And like, if you're only playing the game for the aliens, of course the human characters getting anything will always feel like it's too much/aliens getting anything will not be enough. But the game was never advertised as a strictly alien/furry/monster game, even at the very beginning, and it was always going to be featuring humans prominently. Here is the only part of the itch.io description, for example, to even mention aliens:

Lust Odyssey is a game with a dark atmosphere with some touches of humor. It revolves around your ship and your crew and at some point expect to make hard decisions about them, Although, in the first version you will only find humans, it will have aliens. Eventually, I hope to add furries as well and make the aliens more and more weird and colorful.

But regardless, I don't even really agree with the underlying assumption that the aliens are somehow being neglected. Over the past few months we've got a new alien crew member (Jhaan) with a bunch of sex scenes, two major alien characters in the recent story arc (Nikolaos, Holoryx) with planned future sex scenes, Skru'vaks and Alastor winning polls and getting new sex scenes/side stories, and Bradley, Hakkon and Katari getting sex scenes with the new "spy on crew" feature. That's not really that little compared to the human content we got (about the same amount, tbh).

Before Xperiment's business model becomes a detriment, I didn't expect it to go this way.
Afterall, "Patreon Priority Voting" is actually very common. But those are "Priority" list, Not a "Only thing to do" list.

If Xperiment wish, It's not difficult to keep the balance / diversity, You just work on the rest of the NPCs, before introduce new Human / Humanoid.
The fact is he just choose not to.


Am Not sure how can you use this somewhat racist fallacy as an 'argument', with a straight face
Do you know why it feels like "Human are more interesting and hs the most develoment" in this game?
Besides your personal preference, It's NOT because they are Human / Humanoid,
But because there are way more work / development put into them.
Heck, in the early days when all characters were on the same page, among all the crews Rylan is the least interesting cuz he has nothing unique, but a bland personalty.


You still don't get it, do you.
If Xperiment wants to put money on top, that's his Choice.
Xperiment holds the total autonomy for LO, he hs the full power to stop it if he want to, but he Chooses not to.

Patrons are only spend money for their own best interest, they hav no obligations to the game.

Well done, it boils down to the creator's choice to keep the balance himself and he chose not to and let money tip the scales. When it comes to certain human fans there's a willful ignorance about them despite the discussions and numbers.

After posts like these I say we've done our due diligence in helping them become slightly more media-literate from our wordplay despite their rhetoric.
