Of course you're right in regards to the grammar, but I think the intent here is to make something that purposefully sounds like ménage à trois, which is recognized by most English speakers as a term for a threesome.Im french. the tittle mean : "household of me" and its really weird, "mon ménage" or "ma famille" are far better in french. no one use "à moi".
It would be ignorant if it was due to a lack of knowledge or awareness - but imo its just a difference in priorities: For me, porn IS the correct frame of reference on a porn board. I don't deny that you are correct about the original meaning - i just don't put as much importance on original meaning outside its original context.It IS a misuse, like NTR is misused in this forum. It happens, yeah, but just because the ignorant western culture, and I'm part of the western culture, don't get me wrong, uses terms from foreign countries in different context doesn't make it right. That's why so many people in this forum ask, if the supposed futas are real futas or trans. It makes a hugh difference, especially for people looking for a specific type of content. Saying there is no difference because porn says so, is in my opinion at least, plain ignorant. Especially in times where we have to make sure to not offend people because of their gender choices. And I mean, using porn as a source of reference or as excuse is dumb, porn is dumb, look at the so called "I'm stuck under whatever furniture" videos.
But conflating futa and trans as synonymous makes confusion. It would be like labelling NTR (netorare) when the MC is cheating. Would it be a good move?It would be ignorant if it was due to a lack of knowledge or awareness - but imo its just a difference in priorities: For me, porn IS the correct frame of reference on a porn board.

Regarding labelling: Futa/trans is already a single tag using the f95zone forum rules definition (tag rules): "Futa/trans: A woman with both male and female genitals or just male genitals. Or a trans character." Many games use futa like the first part, i would say girl+dick with no vagina is even more prevalent in games here: e.g. a succubus casting a futa spell might completely replace her vagina with a dick (often including balls), or the dick grows from her vagina. So the hard distinction just doesn't seem to be used that much on this board. I can understand the frustration tho if one wants to filter for the original meaning and gets content that doesn't conform to that.But conflating futa and trans as synonymous makes confusion. It would be like labelling NTR (netorare) when the MC is cheating. Would it be a good move?
Futas are not transgenger, futas are not males with boob implants. Futas are a (fictional) category of girls that have both a vagina and a cock, but no balls, to remark the difference with queers or trans. Till some years ago this was the normality, but then started to appear trans labelled as futas and now it is becoming almost impossible to avoid trans and gay content when looking for futa girls.
That's bad labelling in my opinion.
Futas arent really my thing so i dont care, its not a hill im gonna die on.Futa always has both genders, meaning a dick AND a pussy.
ALWAYS. If it's only one part it's not futa, period.
Anyways, i like playing one protag instead of playing a lottery with them, so this one i will pass on.
I was about to write this exact thing - glad I read this page and saw that you already had! Completely agree, this must (surely!) be the intent.Of course you're right in regards to the grammar, but I think the intent here is to make something that purposefully sounds like ménage à trois, which is recognized by most English speakers as a term for a threesome.
My answer from the dev thread:Alboe Interactive
Is there a point to having all LI be either female or futa, wouldn't it be possible to set that variable for each LI so we can choose which is which, mix and match Or you decide if the player enables the option? I do love my futa/trans LIs but variety is the spice of life as they say. Thank you
While I wish I could, it isn't feasible to pick and choose which characters were futanari because the sheer amount of combinations would become unmanageable. For example, a threesome scene between women would mean 8 variants would need to be rendered and written. All one way or the other is the best compromise in this case.
NTR has 3 definitions. Netori, stealing another's love interest. Netorase, encouraging the MC's love interest to cheat. Netorare, MC's love interest cheats without MC's consent. All contain an underpinning emotion of jealousy. I'm not focusing on love interest stealing or extreme jealousy, so a NTR tag doesn't really fit. Then again, one tag representing 3 different things doesn't make sense in the first place.
so you are forced to share but is not ntr, I think this is the first time I see an explanation like this...
btw just out of curiosity, are played forced to play as multiple protagonists too? (will there be an option to control just one ?) Alboe Interactive
is that why you think there is no "jealousy" involved or because those girls you will fuck are involved in a relationship so the "sharing" in itself doesn't come from the mc?
Good luck with the game.
So we are forced to play as both genders?
I think his explanation of it did come as weird though.
My futa characters have a penis, testicles, and vulva. I'll update the screenshots as there are images where that can clearly be seen.Are those all trans or there are real futas? I see balls instead of vaginas. While futas have cock + vagina and no balls, trannies have cocks with balls and no vaginas. No vaginas = no futas. It should be clarified in the description because there are different categories, futas are girls with a cock, trans are male transitioned (partially, somehow) to women.
My answer from the Dev thread:Are this Futa able to get pregnant or not the most important question, what with there being a pregnant character at some point. I hope so, cuze that would shoot this high on my priority list.
Yes. My futa characters have both sets of genitalia specifically to make them eligible to become pregnant.
"And if so, can they impregnate each other?"
Yes. However, the "official canon" version will be one of the MCs.
I know a lot of players are in the camp of "only MC can be the father", but since there are two protagonists (one being a futa) I'll offer a few choices. Depending on how the later scenes turn out, I'll see what makes sense as far as optional choices if some players might like one of the love interests to be a father as well. If supporters really want to dive deep into this area, I could have a multi-choice option for every single character, add a random option for those who don't want to know until the end, or perhaps even an option for those players who don't want to know at all.
Correct. Originally this was a smaller, 3 character only story which I expanded. The name was still relevant so I kept it.Of course you're right in regards to the grammar, but I think the intent here is to make something that purposefully sounds like ménage à trois, which is recognized by most English speakers as a term for a threesome.
Thanks!Best of luck Alboe Interactive !
Idk why i jumped onto it, its not like i have any real skin in that conflict (->vanilla preference of regular female/male interaction). So sorry about that, i'll hold my tongue here. And thanks for the 'off' option and taking the extra render time for all characters - many devs take the easier route and just turn some romance options off instead...All I can ask is please don't turn my game's thread into a proxy war for that ongoing conflict.
So I chose the harem tag in the sense that "Does the MC get with all the love interests?" And the answer is yes. There are 2 MC's and they will get with every available love interest, including each other. If there was some sort of polyamorous/multi-relationship tag I would go for that.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
this thread will surely get interesting.
I think it's the first time I see a good description of the content in dev notes .
Good luck with this one
I really hate locking things to force additional playthroughs or pad time to make it seem like there is more content. Players should be having fun and, just like video games, I want them to be able to jump in and get to whatever fun part that want.Interesting!
I also appreciate that everything is optional and that you don't have to make a second playthrough for both scenes!
As many devs here know, having an abandoned game is quite common. A lot give up after the first attempt, but some very well-known devs have stuck around.think i will wait on trying this considering the link in the OP shows previous offering was put on hold over a year ago and didn't get very far.
You're fine. I knew these questions were coming, I just wish I had my end ready. I assumed I could stick to keeping this project in the Development part of the forum instead of on the front page. Players here have a lot of conflicting expectations and that caused my previous game's thread to become hostile, from both myself and other users. I know my content doesn't follow tags to the nth degree but, until the tag overhaul finally happens, there isn't much more I can do at this time.Idk why i jumped onto it, its not like i have any real skin in that conflict (->vanilla preference of regular female/male interaction). So sorry about that, i'll hold my tongue here.
