Reading through comments here, it seems that tags are a contentious issue. I'm working on a VN that is now in coding. I've read through everything I could find on tags, including the official thread. Several are quite clear to me, and I won't bother asking about them. But a few I'm not sure whether to include. So, each of these are YEA or NAY questions, and arguments/comments about these issues are also more than welcome:
TAG
Animated - Is this just used when animations are simply present? This will have 4 animations in release 1, plus an animated intro video prior to game start, but everything else is static images. YEA or NAY?
Rape - In this story, women have all the power, and while there's no actual rape in the first release, there's an attempted one, and conditions are such that men have to worry about it happening. Clothes are ripped open, and the guy escapes, running away. I notice there's a closed thread with a mod saying that "Reverse Rape" (among other tags) WILL be added, and there will be no more discussion about it... but almost 3 years later there is no reverse rape tag. Much as I hate the phrase, this would be at least an attempted "reverse rape". YEA or NAY?
Sci-Fi - Story is set in 2030 and revolves around an epigenetic change to females. Sure it's in the future, but not too far, and takes place in Los Angeles, not like Venus or the Orion Nebula. Not a whole lot of super high-tech stuff happening, but the whole premise is based on a biological change that happens in the future. First release is focused on introducing the change and how it affects society. Future releases will have scenes that question more how and why it occurred. I've always thought of it as "Sci-Fi Lite". YEA or NAY?
