You don't seem to like the idea of goblin kids dying but I want to mention it happens in PQ itself already. They are goblins, that's how they survive.
When I talked about kids dying, I was talking about all the non-goblin kids the MC has with the non-goblin girls.
In your original post, you heavily implied that we could have non-goblin kids dying during tower defense in order to then have more kids with the non-goblin women.
I was saying that most players (myself included) wouldn't really be up for having non-goblin children die off in the game.
I would also like to disagree on the part where you said it will have very little payoff. How many adult games have you played with default RPG maker's combat system, just all of them and they are boring and tedious many times. I think many people would like to have actual gameplay of some kind even if its not tower defense.
The reason why I say that your ideas would have little payoff for both the developer,
Tinkerer and the playerbase is because most players don't come to
Peasant's Quest in order to play a tower defense Plant vs. Zombies game.
Most players come to play a basic rpg game.
Actually, I'd argue that
M3ntir is the most correct when he says that most players just come for the porn.
You'd be surprised how many players use cheat engines so they can 1-hit all their opponents or how many of them ask for full saves rather than take the time to play the game themselves.
The truth is that most players wouldn't really be interested in or entertained by the mechanic you wish to introduce.
The idea of tower defense adult game with goblins is something I was thinking for my own game(don't have time for making it. yet) because Its seems so perfect - goblins make more goblins to survive by fighting against the threat that comes to their home - just that little thing is already a perfect gameplay loop for a adult tower defense game.
Ultimately, I think that your ideas are best suited for a game that you develop, yourself.
Just not
Peasant's Quest.
A goblin-centered, tower defense, adult game sounds pretty interesting but I just don't see any place for it within a standard rpg like
Peasant's Quest.
In addition, if you really like goblins, I'd suggest a couple of goblin centered games such as:
- A Goblin's Tale - Link
- Goblin Layer - Link
- The Goblin's Brides - Link
- The Last Goblin - Link
- Grolokk - Link
All of these should do a great job of scratching your goblin itch.
Although they'll leave your desire for a Tower Defense game mostly unsatisfied.
In the end, like I said before, you seem to be very passionate about this game and that's always great to see.
It's just that if you want my honest feedback then here it is: most players wouldn't be too thrilled to see your requests come into fruition for this particular game.
But having all of this in your own game could be really fascinating to play.
