I really like your writing style and wouldn't mind additions of many characters to cater for everyone, but it'll be more preferable if some of these more fetishized contents like futa/trans are entirely skippable.. i'd love to keep playing this game
Most fetishes will be skippable, just like in my previous game.I really like your writing style and wouldn't mind additions of many characters to cater for everyone, but it'll be more preferable if some of these more fetishized contents like futa/trans are entirely skippable.. i'd love to keep playing this game
in my previous game, Academy of Fetishes, before every scene started, it gave you a hint of what was going to happen and then it gave you a choice of whether or not to proceed. Sometimes it gave you this choice multiple times. I plan for all sexual scenes in Monster Girl Farmer to be the same way.I really like your writing style and wouldn't mind additions of many characters to cater for everyone, but it'll be more preferable if some of these more fetishized contents like futa/trans are entirely skippable.. i'd love to keep playing this game
Hahaha omg that example you made on the first part deja vu-ed me of another game (i only remembered it was sci-fi.. on renpy i guess) that did exactly that in the past and noped me the hell outAnd I'm not going to make it uncomfortable, where she's wagging her dick under your nose asking you to sniff it, etc. before you can choose.
Yep, this is fine by me.. Thank you for taking the time to explain it clearerJust want to reiterate, you don't have to do anything sexual with them, but you will have to interact with them.
The justification would be that I don't think it's offensive, and the word is the only one that accurately describes what I'm talking about. The people who claim that it's offensive say it's because it's sexualising and pornographic, and shaming the women who do accept the term for being in the adult industry. I have a low opinion of people who look down on sex workers. And we are on a porn game forum talking about porn games. Complaining that the word is pornographic is a little silly, no?Your experience may be different from mine, of course, but every definition of sh***ale I've found says the word is offensive. Wikipedia says it has been used pejoratively since the 19th century, though with a different meaning than today. And it says, "Most people in the transgender community consider the term offensive and degrading." In other words, I can only find evidence the word is offensive. If there is a non-offensive version of the word, I can't find it.
Above, you said the word should/could still be used when the speaker doesn't intend offense. In my opinion, that depends on the context. If someone is totally ignorant of the meaning, I agree they should get a pass until they are informed.
But when someone says a word offends them, and you reply, "I didn't intend to, and for that reason, I'm still going to use it," how do you think they will feel? They'd probably perceive that as an insult and a disregard for their feelings, right? At the very least, annoyance and resentment, I'd think -- do you disagree? If you disagree, how do you think they'll feel? If you agree, there must be something more important than their feelings to justify using the word. What is that justification?
Okay, but there were a bunch of unanswered questions:The justification would be that I don't think it's offensive, and the word is the only one that accurately describes what I'm talking about.

What is that justification?You did answer this one.
Are you going to acknowledge my point that I looked into why it's supposedly offensive and reject the argument, especially in this context? Appealing to the feelings of a hypothetical person who might be offended doesn't really sway me. These are not good-faith questions, it seems more like an attempt at browbeating. If it is, it's a waste of time. I decide for myself what words I think are acceptable, other people don't get to decide that for me, they need to convince me. And 'imagine this person who is offended, don't you feel bad for them?' isn't a compelling argument.Okay, but there were a bunch of unanswered questions:

It is, but to be honest, I'm bringing it upon myself. I'm choosing to continue the conversation. I'll stop doing that after this reply since I'd rather be thinking about the game. My intention isn't to get the last word in; those involved can reply if they want, but I'm going to try to resist replying to those replies (if that makes sense).It's get that everybody is super fired up and motivated for posting, but this is also a whole heck of a lot of not monster girl farmer speak out here. I'm trying to imagine the dev wading through all of this which seems.. exausting.
I assure you I'm neither browbeating nor asking questions in bad faith. Throughout this conversation I've tried my best to be civil and listen patiently to your side so I can understand it. I'm putting in that effort to empathize with your position. If you feel browbeaten by these questions, I apologize, as it's not my intention to intimidate.Appealing to the feelings of a hypothetical person who might be offended doesn't really sway me. These are not good-faith questions, it seems more like an attempt at browbeating. If it is, it's a waste of time.
"I won't be convinced if I answer your questions" isn't a compelling argument for ignoring them.'imagine this person who is offended, don't you feel bad for them?' isn't a compelling argument.
I appreciate your research on the topic. I think it's admirable. But it's not your right to decide what's offensive to others. Of course, it's your right to not care if they are offended. Also, your research seems incomplete: there are more reasons than that for why the word is offensive.Are you going to acknowledge my point that I looked into why it's supposedly offensive and reject the argument, especially in this context?
That's something we can agree on Again, I take full responsibility for starting and perpetuating the conversation.Whew, that's a load off my chest, though I have to say, a porn-game forum ain't really the best place for discussions like these, eh?
I see it as contemporary internet but without smart phones everywhere. The world is modern, but so rural, amenities like that are difficult to come by.Out of curiosity, what level is the technology at, anyway? Semi western plus or minus the six shooters, dark future soilent green is people, or contemporary internet and smartphones everywhere?
I'll probably end up doing that because I foresee it being overwhelming when you get more and more girls.As it is a ranch, and the MC is trying to run it, any chance of training a ranch hand or plucky assistant? Especially if the grounds end up being more active?
Very hands-on. In the cave, which isn't in the game yet, is a gremlin girl who's gonna make all sorts of fun devices and whatnot.How hands on is the narrative going to go in regards to supplies and products? I.e. milking cowgirls or bulls, or whatnot?
I haven't thought about the stuff but I should. I think it's one of the things that makes Fenoxo games popular, the ability to transform your main character. To be honest, it's an intimidating challenge. Having the choice between penis and vagina makes every intercourse scene at least 1.5x more work. Sometimes 3x. I haven't played TiTs long enough to transform my body, so I'm not sure how they implement your character changing in a way that is scalable.How.. generous.. can our characters physical attributes be? And how malleable are they? Do monster girls products alter the 'human' form, modestly or otherwise? For example, say my character has the power of bewbs. And due to the constant consumption of monster girl, uh, good and sevices, will they have the potential to grow further? Or better yet, could they *also* be able to donate/get milked along side potential cowgirls in the ranch?
I'll think about that. I have to admit this also seems intimidating to implement.In a similar train of thoughts, most 'monster girls' tend to be pretty well endowed if they do have the wangs, so maybe the MC can discover a method of becoming more gradually accomodating and accustomed to taking bigger and better things, in a very real and personal sense. Or just handwave the physics and such away. Cause if not, the MC and any overtly curious townsolk are going to be very much at risk.
maybe I'm not understanding the nuance here, but isn't the game already like that?A lot of 'farm' style stories tend to cater to a generic harem center figure, and usually a dudebro, and mostly reserved in terms of interaction. Or they swing wildly for the other side and it's a semi creepy slavery simulator. So personally, I'd love to see some sort of middle ground where the MC can potentially build a farm from the ground up, get involved on both sides of the ranch production, and generally have the option to be on both sides of the fence in regards to happy, sticky, explosive sexy times.
The MC will probably be able to transform, but I don't know about transforming other NPCs' genitals. That's kind of low on my to do list.Are the current NPC's set as they are, lower equipment wise? Feels like a missed opportunity not being able to deal with raging horsewang bonors regarding the recently obtained centaur huntress and protector. Also, before I forget: she's pretty awesome. Spent her entire life protecting others, semi badass, missed a lot of the golden years, now figuring themseleves out, but still kind of adorably goofy here and there. Possibly my favorite, but doggo has plenty of potential too.
Thank you! I might have found a new artist, but I'm not ready to officially announce that as it isn't a sure thing.Anyway, enjoying the game, and the setting. Looking forward to whatever comes next. Sorry to hear about the artist being unavailable for the time being!
When the questions appear to be rhetorical ones it really is, though."I won't be convinced if I answer your questions" isn't a compelling argument for ignoring them.
That's what I have been planningThe easier route by far would just be using the monster girls for various situations as neccessary (cowgirls for milking, bulls for breeding, harpys for eggs, etc. etc.)
what would be an example of that happening?The notion of the MC doing the route of 'going a bit native' with the monster girls and finding they themselves can be used for production is a fun scenario, but not worth mucking up your story if it ends up being too daunting.
That's a good question. None of the early items scream "monster girl." So at first the locals will just think the main character is growing amazing food. There is a scene I'm going to write where the townsfolk accept monster girls as much as you do. This will lead to much more monster girls setting up shops.Last bit of curiosity-- you mentioned monstergirls are mostly feared or frowned upon, but how *legal* is it to be peddling their various wares? Is this something the farmer needs to actively hide, or just is it just viewed askance from society?
I suppose the MC drinking a bit too much cowgirl milk and starting to lactate herself would be one example.what would be an example of that happening?
And then selling their own milk? or is that not an important detail?I suppose the MC drinking a bit too much cowgirl milk and starting to lactate herself would be one example.
