OPINIONS: Male v Female MC and scenario

[Rystvalya]

This sort of thing will obviously vary from player to player but I've hit a crossroad with my story and I'm looking for what sort of preferences are out there. Here's my challenge. Would you prefer to:

Play as a Female MC in a competition with consensual sex that ranges from forced (NOT rape) to a BAD PATH prostitution?

OR

Play a Male MC with Female NPC in a competition that MAY result in a BAD PATH of NTR.


Currently I'm leaning towards there Female MC as while I don't care one way or the other I know NTR can be rather divisive, but would people rather to play a Male MC regardless.

perhaps it depends on your target market, if you are targeting female players, having a female MC would be a better idea. the male players prefer a male MC.
Male players are not as picky about what kind of sex is in the game either.
in my opinion make what you want to see in a game and ignore those who want to shape you to their perception of right and wrong. Your target audience isn't the handful vocal haters, it's the thousands of people whom enjoy your game in silence and dark.

Better getting cucked than whoring yourself. Well that's just my opinion since i have high resistance to NTR bs but yeah, it really depends on the personality of a person playing.

 

[desmosome]

high resistance to NTR

lol that's a useful resistance to max out

 

[Droid Productions]

So our options are between the devil and the deep blue sea? Good luck, I guess

Fair point

crap, maybe I should add that as a stat...

I actually had a few game ideas but this seemed the most straightforward from a development perspective since I'm new to coding... basic vn + minigame to build stats.

I was trying to keep the descriptions as simple as possible for the purposes of the poll but pure prostitution/ntr inst the best description...

The idea is the MC (if female) has a series of challenges and like a lot of the RPGs where the character fails and gets fucked the same rules apply - but the more you lose the more 'broken' you become. Like the LOP Elanore character sort of spectrum. Loving wife or cheating... champion or whore.

If I went the other way the idea would be that you are a Male MC with a Female NPC partner (could be friend, wife... whatever) and if you lose your NPC partner is fucked/exposed/humiliated etc but the more you win you d the same to your opponents partner. Lose too much and you lose her. Win enough and you essentially get a harem.

That's kind of splitting hairs as both prostitution and ntr are avoidable but inevitable the 2 'risks' the MC would face

I can't relate to the games that reward the player for failing, I even played games that playing perfect in some levels caused missing scenes in the gallery. seems like lazy logic to me.

Dude, not at all. The game OP is describing has been done (a lot) and none of the female players that I know of play those types of games. I

I know of a few female players who enjoy 'Good Girl Gone Bad,' but I won't touch that one because the developer traces open scenes and passes it off as original art.

Yep, fem mc that is corrupted is a main pillar of porn game industry. OP's question between very mainstream option vs a niche option is strange.

Don't see why one would care about tracing. People seem to go "tracing is bad because tracing is bad because tracing is bad".

tracing is bad because it's stealing the money the original artists could make from their work. it's like selling an invention that somebody worked years to invent and pocketing the money.
it's like copying another writers script and trying to sell it as your own work.
it's like changing the name of a game and calling it your own work.
it's like creating an account with a celebrities name and pictures, making money posting adds.
it's like deep faking your face into a porn clip and winning the AVN award for best anal without enduring the actual pain.
it's like trump taking credit for killing terrorist leaders instead of the actual heroes.
it's like a printer machine claim what it prints as it's own original work.
it's like writing a program that copies random lines from a database and calling it AI.
I feel it's becoming annoying, so I'll stop.

there's only two cases where tracing wouldn't be a bad thing: if the artist allows it or if the source is creative commons, still the tracer should credit the original artist and not claim it as their own art.

When you do not admit to tracing when confronted and still claim your art is original? Yes, it is bad imo.

I'm a male. I prerfer play as Female Protanogist, I choise only female protaonist to play with. I hate use male protanoist becouse as a man I hate be a jerk. Game with Female MC are my favorite. I prefer alose games without Game Over sistem, I'm gone lose my interes with this shit of game over when we loose battle, when thei turn her into a vampire or in Succubus Convenat I'm no have option coise your gender, male or female. I lost my interst in male protagonist, them are jerk and rapist, If I can choise I choise game without game over sistem, only female. I hate Kinetik sisteman thei we have no choise. This one I lost my interst to see a story or choise. I'm hate submission main charaters when them are female or male. If in those kine o game wase present Dominant Female Protanogist I'm gonne further to play it.

Theoretically could but would not in practice. It falls into making a parody, you created enough original and new content to add value to the system. The original creator of the image were not willing to do that so had it not been traced all the value would never have been realized. Besides you can't copyright a body pose.

When you do not admit to tracing when confronted and still claim your art is original? Yes, it is bad imo.

You know, they know and whatever claims or admissions made wouldn't change your mind.
I fear many people with issues with tracing have some sort of trauma leading them seeking and bad actors and victims when none exist. In reality you're the only bad actor and everyone wanting to enjoy the parody content are victims.

Ah yes, someone is being dishonest in an attempt to make money, and calling them out on that dishonesty makes ME a bad person.

And keep in mind, it's not just the body posing, it's the literal image being traced, expression and all, then painted over, then calls themself an artist.

 

[riktor]

neither options seems like my cup of tea, though I'm probably not part of the audience you're aiming for.

 

[KiaAzad]

I get it, you like femdom, but choosing a male protagonist have nothing to do with being a jerk.
it is wrong to label people based on their general preference. be it considering those whom chose male protagonists a jerk or those whom chose female protagonist a woss.

Dude, not at all. The game OP is describing has been done (a lot) and none of the female players that I know of play those types of games.

I think girls are more into romantic stories in general. I know many indie game developers whom are women that make long visual novels with little to no sex in them. in other hand I hate reading specially in games.
I was surprised when I found out the majority of visual novels are being made by women. in other hand, gameplay oriented games are being made mainly by male developers because men are more visual.

No I don't like femdom, If I was be treethed like a shit and dergadate I'm gone engry and she gon lost my trust and interest in her and she see me never again. I choise the woman who like romance and strong man, don't man wihtout balls who like be trate by femdom like a shit. I like female who act like female. BDSM Is not mi kind of fetish. My preference is Female protaongist with choise if i wont let her pride or let her gone in lust with others

Going back to the main topic, personally I prefer this option "Play a Male MC with Female NPC in a competition that will result in NTR".

I prefer to be a male MC rather than female. Having said that there are many ways to develop each idea. A few examples:

-Love fighter: A strange application that after installing it takes your current girlfriend as an asset, forcing you to fight other players of the game for their girlfriends with the risk of losing yours. Win and you get a harem, lose and you will lose the girl that loves you.

Outside of duels you will be able to enjoy your assets which will be fully loyal to you, give them fetishes and have fun!.

However if a player gets interested in your girlfriend they will challenge you to a duel, when a duel is activated your and his asset will lose her memory and be willing to be conquered, the one that manages to conquer the heart of the girl before the other wins.

This is just an easy concept out of my head.

I picked the female option because of the discrepancy between your poll and the question you ask in your OP. The poll gives you an option to play as a MC with a Female NPC in a competition that CAN result in NTR. But then you contradict yourself in the OP and frame it as a case where the male option WILL result in NTR. If MC can "win" and get the girl then I'm interested but if he's guaranteed to "lose" and have his girl taken then it doesn't hold much appeal anymore.

So basically if it can happen if MC fucks up but not if he's "playing to win" then I'm all for it. If it will happen no matter what he does then I'd rather just play as a female character.
