I mean, in most (if not all) games we see around here the protagonist is the only son in in the family. Sometimes I deeply regret not having introduced an older brother in my story...
The problem with a brother is that, if the mother and sisters slept with you, why not also with your brother ? It can be great if you want NTR, but else it look strange. But a father... He've lost interest for his wife and don't even need to really love her, have no interest for his daughters, and if he catch you it will be a real hard time.

There are actually ways to make the brother work out without feeling like it's NTR. It's really tricky but it's doable.

Of course, the brother who doesn't go along with you and want to steal the girls from you is always easier to write and the feeling of an antagonist who's also closer to you is more interesting.

Could make him gay. Drop the NTR right then and there. Then it's just a cockblock thing

Yeah... That's one of the ways...

One other being he's just as much of a pervert as you and doesn't mind sharing the girls.
I stand on my position (I can be really stubborn when I want :D), at least for a game where voyeurism take a big place. The father is the one you must hide from, which add more to the game.

The fear I'd have with it being a father would be that it could easily go full Eric. A father would actually have the kind of Power Eric wielded in BB. Getting caught by dad wouldn't be a blackmail continue unless dad was also thinking of fucking his daughters. As a result the game would be full of game overs.

That or full of clichés and incostencies.

There's a way to avoid both, let the MC use his hears :

Step 1:
a) "you hear footsteps"
b) "They are closer"
"They seem to go away"
"They stopped !!"
c) "They are really near now !"
To the player to escape at anytime, or get a game over but only if he stay at step 3.

Step 2:
Create some routine in dad's schedule. By example, each Monday at 8AM he cross the bathroom door, but just cross it. So the footsteps will be really near, but he will not catch you. Here again, to the player to learn this schedule and stay when it's safe, or go away when it's not.

Step 3:
When caught, the player have a list of excuse. This time, the player have to remember which one he already used, because using one too much, or using the same twice, will gave him a game over. If it's not game over, he just need to be more cautious the next day(s) because the father will be more vigilant and can goes out of his schedule to see if you're spying again or not.

Step 4:
It's annoying having dad always behind you, find a way to hide better when looking here, a way to spy otherwise there, oh and can't you create a diversion when you look there ?

Charge to the author to not over do it with the father. He must be something you take care of, not something which stop you.

While I'm not sure of someone in the house who will stop you yet, as for your highschool I've thought of a teacher or other member of staff who knows of your reputation and will try to make your life hell as well as trying to catch you out for spying

Also does anyone have any tips on how I'll get around the incest rules on patreon?
Pretty easy to use word and name substitution in Ren'Py... not sure what engine you settled on though. What you do is create a substitution for all incest content. For instance, in my game, I have the mom written as [mom_name](you might want to not use mom_name exactly, but it would work.) and then there's a conditional statement on whether incest is enabled. So anywhere the game finds [mom_name] it replaces it with Colbie or Mom depending on the conditional statement.

If you really want to make sure that Patreon never knows about it, you'll put this conditional statement into a mod and release it on Lewd Patcher. If you need specific details on how to do this just ask. Also, look around. Personally I'm hoping Sponsorion has launched by the time my game is ready. They aren't going to limit incest content. There's also AdultPledge that exists already. The one problem with AdultPledge is that you have to make your lower pledge limit $5 to make money, however they are trying to implement a 6 month tier type thing that allows you to have people pledge for less per month, but in a single charge, thereby mitigating the expensive charges from their payment provider.

Maybe it'll also be launched by the time my game's ready, since I'm having some major delays anyway

Speaking of delays, do you know what I can do about my issue here?

Update for the game as well as some questions for people:
With my issues with Daz now being sorted, progress has once again resumed on the game. It's still mainly in the ideas stage but I can now begin rendering characters at least.

For a main antagonist character, I have decided on going with the idea of having a member of the staff at school who constantly gets on your case and causes problems for you, goes out of his way to try and catch you spying on girls etc. I have yet to decide whether he either just doesn't like you, is even more against your actions than most, or desires to do it himself and therefor doesn't want you stealing his "spy fodder". In the case of the latter, I will probably have options for catching him out to get him fired, or managing to get on his good side enough that you sort of team up.

As money, like in a lot of these games, will be important, I'm also in the process of deciding ways that you will make money ingame.

Because of Patreon's rules against incest, all incest content ingame will be deactivated and hidden from Patreon, but will be able to be activated by use of cheat code.

As for some questions for people, first of all I'm still struggling on what assets I can use for the MC's home. Is there anyone who has had a similar amount of characters living in the home (5)? What assets did you decide to go with? The younger two siblings likely share a room so realistically I only need four bedrooms, or three bedrooms and then an attic for the oldest sister to sleep in. I'll need an exterior so that there's a backyard and also the ability to peep through windows from the outside.

I also was wondering what lights you all use for rendering and how you position them, also things like doing a night time scene but stopping it going all fuzzy and grainy from lack of light. Any suggestions?

Thought I'd add a link to my Patreon, hopefully people can give my suggestions on how I can make it better, what goals I should set etc
